How long can whale-poop clouds fend off hungry orcas? Then too, at some point the whales must empty. Couldn't orcas keep a watchful distance until the whales ran empty and their poop-cloud had dissipated?

This report has holes in it. Where's the poop, first of all? I don't see it in the video or anywhere else. Second, the orcas in the news video have pieces of something in their mouthes--looks like liver from sharks seen in other videos. Third, the interviewed scientist comes off as very evasive, and offers zero proof that the whales emitted poop. The report says the researchers later looked at the video and decided it was poop as opposed to blood. That's not science. That's sitting around and making things up. And, finally, the orcas swam away? Not likely--based on other videos of their attacks.
