A 103-year-old orca whale named “Granny" has been making some serious waves this week, after she was spotted traveling for 800 miles off the coast of Canada with her pod. The centenarian, also called J2 by researchers, has not only astounded people with her age, but by disproving SeaWorld claims that orcas typically live up to 25-35 years in the wild.

for those wondering what the actual average life span of a wild orca is since 103 is not that common obviously, its 50-80 years according to national geographic, which is still decades longer than in captivity.

self-confidence, i’m realizing, is a lot deeper than just thinking i’m beautiful and being free in who i am. it also includes being confident in my decisions and trusting myself to be committed to the things i want to do. to step outside of my comfort zone and assure myself that i will be okay in doing so. this kind of self-confidence will help me see the success i want to see.

which do u think would win in a fight??? discuss

the first dog clearly has years of fighting experience and possesses the stern, quiet dominance of a master, but his age could prove disadvantageous when pitted against the raw power of the second dog.  there’s clearly something brutal and furious burning inside him, and he walks with a carelessness that hints at his true berserker nature.  the first dog’s technique will have to be flawless if he hopes to avoid being annihilated

I fucking hate this post. It’s fucking bullshit. Tell me, in what fucking universe do you exist in where raw anger and strength will overcome a seasoned master of fighting. No Fuck this. The first dog has 10,000 years of experience under his belt just look at that beard. The other dog is some angry stupid asshole and he will get his ass kicked. Fuck you and Fuck you for making me look at the url “shrexy”
