Killer Whale vs. Penguin
Status: Fake
Killer whales do eat penguins, but I'd say this has been photoshopped. For a start, if you look closely it appears that the killer whale already has something in its mouth.I have no information about who created the photo or where the original images came from.

The thing in its mouth? looks like a tongue
Posted by Silvar in Philipines on Sat Aug 09, 2008 at 11:01 AM
Looks like a tongue to me too!

No. Not it's tongue! There's a brown thing in the corner of its mouth that looks like a seal.

Do whales chew tobacco, perhaps?

The original image (as you have it shown) appears on the following website: http://www.acreditesequiser.net/2007/09/08/a-orca-e-o-pinguim/
By looking at all the other images on this site (it's all in Spanish, I think), it would appear that this image (as is the case with all the others) was an art project - a photoshop project. Check it out for yourself...

Hmm. I can't understand the Spanish, but I'm not sure if that's the original image. It's smaller and lower-res than the version I have. It could just be some guy who posted it on his site b/c he thought it was interesting.

Christopher, that's Portuguese, not Spanish.
It's obviously a photomontage (where exactly would the photographer have been to take this picture?).
Furthermore, it looks to me as though the Orca is going to miss. Penguins going off a ledge go pretty much straight down, so the killer whale seems to be going a bit high and to the left (the whale's left, that is) to snatch this one in its mouth.
However, it's a cute picture. It reminds me of those photos on the "motivational posters" you see at oppressive work sites, only this time with a twist.

Alex, sorry to imply the image I referenced on that site as the original, I meant "original" as in the same image you posted on MoH. I agree, the one I found is not the same quality resolution as yours... I found it by doing a search for "orca" on Live! Search...

I'm not really sure it's a seal. It just seemed to me that there was something in its mouth. Here's a pic:

Is't not chewing tobacco!

This photo is photoshopped...the penguins wouldn't jump off the edge if the whale was right there. plus the orca would jump straight up and not to the side.
