Understanding the Killer Whale's Size and Threat

Hubie: Goodness Glaciers! What was that?

Rocko: Oh, it must've been a killer whale.

Hubie: You mean to tell me he is bigger than the leopard seal, the elephant seal, the walrus, and the hippopotamus?

Rocko: Oh, he is twice as big, twice as mean, twice as fast, and twice as dangerous. His kind, like him, are members of the dolphin family, and they are closely related to other kinds of dolphins, baleen whales, toothed whales, elephants, aardvarks, hyraxes, and manatees. But, that's not the worst part.

Hubie: Well, what is the worst part?

Rocko: His kind always travel in groups.

Hubie: Groups?

Rocko: Big groups. Lots. Oodles and oodles.

Shamu: [to Hubie and Rocko] Hi there. Look, I'm not going to eat you. I'm your friend.

Petra: Marina's gone!

Beany: She ran away?

Petra: I know, but he'll try!

Timmy: I wish Hubie was here!

A Prayer for Love and Safety

Marina: Sometimes I close my eyes, And say a prayer, That finally today will be the day, I watch the far horizon, no one's there, But somewhere you are safe and on your way, Oh, Hubie...
