Are they accurate? One problem with body-fat scales is that they are often inaccurate. Many variables affect the results, including how hydrated you are, when you last ate and exercised, and even whether your feet are highly calloused or dirty, as well as the type and quality of the product itself.
Orcas Island. Orcas Island (/ËÉËrkÉªs/, like Orcus, not /ËÉËrkÉz/, as in the plural of orca) is the largest of the San Juan Islands, which are located in the northwestern corner of Washington state in San Juan County, Washington, United States.[1]
Killer whales (or orcas) are powerful predators capable of killing prey much larger than humans, such as leopard seals and great white sharks. They have also been recorded preying on usually terrestrial species such as moose swimming between islands.However, wild orcas are not considered a real threat to humans, as there are few documented cases of wild orcas attacking people, and no fatal encounters.In captivity, however, there have been several non-fatal and fatal attacks on humans since the 1970s.Experts are divided as to whether the injuries and deaths were accidental or deliberate attempts to cause harm. On February 10, 2014, a free diver in Horahora Estuary near Whangarei, New Zealand was pulled down for over 40 seconds by a killer whale that grabbed a bag containing crayfish and urchins, which was attached to his arm by a rope. 2  The rope eventually came free. 3  He then undid his weight belt and returned to the surface.
