It’s a myth that they never attack humans in the wild. As with most shark attacks it seems to be a case of mistaken identity. Since orcas are significantly more intelligent though they usually retreat before any real harm is done.

> In the wild, there have been no fatal attacks on humans and only one reported bite

I don't think the one reported bite counts as an attack.

An attack doesn’t mean death or severe injury. There have been plenty of attacks but they pretty much all have resulted in no injuries.
