My heart broke when he said Luna died.

At least, with an Orca around, there are no sharks.

Much better to see Orca in their natural environment. Thanks for the great selection.

I love how Orcas swim sideways when they're being playful.

Just went to Alaska to fish for the first time and we encountered a small pod (2 males, mom, baby). Experience of a lifetime. The baby played with the boat while mom and dad kept an eye on things. Absolutely beautiful.

Orcas are such a lovely creatures. Deserves more then 35 likes!

The most amazing thing about Orca is that even after all we humans have done to them, they CHOOSE to interact with us in a positive way!

Luna was absolutely remarkable. I saw a full documentary about her called, A Killer Whale Called Luna. Orcas are so smart, it's just stunning. She was so sweet and friendly, with everyone. Sadly, the story does not have a happy ending. I hate bureaucrats.

I love how they’re known as the wolves of the ocean. Because they are so deadly. Yet the only time an orca has ever killed a human, was because they were being held in captivity. It’s almost like they know who the jerks are. Not once has an orca killed a human in the wild.

I love that you don't demonize orcas in the way a lot of people do. Thanks for the positive videos on orcas

You don't have to go to a prison like Sea World to see these beautiful and majestic animals. You can observe them where they belong in the open ocean, free. These clips were stunning.

Yes, I had a similar experience in Monterey Bay in California in the late 80's. We were fishing in a 23 foot boat, trolling for salmon when a couple of orcas came up behind us. We had two 10-pound lead weights on down-rigger cables that went down 200 feet with four fishing lines trailing behind us about 50 yards. Not once did they get tangled in our equipment. They swam along side of us coming as close as three feet from the boat. After a few minutes and as a parting gesture, one of them turned upside down and swam under our boat. I looked down and all I saw was white and black belly under our boat. It crossed from right to left and disappeared after that. I was only 16 or so at the time. I was in photography class at the time and I had an old 35mm camera with black and white film with me. I still have an 8x10 photo of that orca to this day. It was one of the most humbling and spiritual experiences I ever had in my life.

Luna was a gift from God for humans to truly appreciate the majesty and intelligence of these animals. What a sad way for Luna to pass. The selfishness of man..

I've always loved orca's ever since I was a kid watching free willy and I'm 40 now and still love them

I would have NO fear..just the feeling of elation and happiness!! What an honor to swim with these intelligent creatures. Their are no reported deaths of wild orcas attacking humans . We're not their food!! They're just curious and they know we pose no threat to them😊

Such beautiful creatures 🥺

How beautiful. But I could have cried for Luna. So very sad. 😢

Any encounter with aquatic life, especially Orcas, is a blessing if it's a non threatening situation. I would never take such an encounter for granted..... the swimmer with the Orcas on the coastline..... my God..... how incredible. I'll always be a Champion of any animal, this video is just another reason that solidifies my outlook.

Such beautiful animals! 🥰 (RIP dear Luna)❤️

I love how orcas have got an sense of humour with the swimmer ( come on you can swim faster ) 😂 lovely creatures

Orca encounters that will brighten your day. First story ... and the orca was shredded by the propeller of a tug boat while it was trying to say hello .... heart-warming. Thanks

I always wonder which are the reasons that the Orcas behave so gentle and peaceful especialy to us humans 🌸 Nice and funny Video with a positiv approach to thrse fascinating animals Thank you

Number 3 had me dying haha. Even though the Orcas didn't harm this swimmer one of them did seem to try and nibble at his feet hahaa.

I love Lukas' video. When the orca opens its mouth and Lukas is like "hey!!" the orca is all "oh terribly sorry sir. carry on" it's so funny.

And they absolutely know how to tip over a kayak or paddleboard or small boat. You see them tipping ice slabs with seals hiding on top all the time. Amazing creatures.

8 Orca encounters thatll brighten your day.. First Orca, Died to a boat. Great, fantastic, thatll definitely brighten my day! Thanks!

I love ❤️ watching those Orca videos 🥰🙏🏾 & one day I want to go snorkeling with some, and they are just a sight to behold ✌🏾🥰❤️

I honestly can’t say it enough.. How absolutely beautiful and majestic these magnificent creatures are!! 🖤🤍 This is the way to witness their sheer awesome powerful intelligent & intuitive nature❣️

Only Orcas in captivity have ever attacked humans...

Thank you for recommending this video. I live on northern Vancouver Island but have never seen an orca which I think is poopie because they stir my soul. I am learning from your videos and I thank you for that.

😭Luna so very sad!! Breaks my heart!! r.i.p. precious soul💜

My thoughts are these animals are smarter than a lot of humans

If I saw orcas jumping out of excitement to see me I would cry or faint ! They are absolutely beautiful

They're such majestic animals, they must be saved🙏 TY for brightening our days in such dark chaotic times ☺✌

Right up on that swimmer's toes and didn't hurt them.. not even taking a nibble. Amazing.

Such an amazing creature! I'm overtaken with their intelligence, their ability to be docile and their recognition.

Amazing and my favourite of all the sea beauties. I hope one day to see them in person

As a reminder, DO NOT play with an orca that comes to your boat. DO NOT let them form a connection with humans. This is what caused Luna to die. Being around boats is not safe for these animals and they dont understand that one wrong move around a boats propeller means death for them. Do the right thing and dont interact with them.

Enjoying all ur wonderful video's so happy I found u & subscribed just today & I have watched almost 90% of ur videos that's how awesome u are & appreciate that u don't repeat video's Ty👍😍💞

Hey guy meet sweet, friendly Luna. She got killed by a tug-boat. Great story to brighten up your day

Our brothers and sisters that go back thousands of years.

I think the 3 checking out the lady swimming were just laughing how awkward we look swimming compared to them.

A-MAZE-ING! 😳😳😃😃 I LOVE gentle giants of the sea!!

People can learn so much from orca's & they are so calm when treated with respect, now why can't people be like that towards other people? Another brilliant Video Captain Drake 👍

That lady swimming is brave as hell!!!!!! Even if I am certain they have no harmful intention, I wouldn't be able to help but panic!

Oh no! I’m so sorry about Luna

This is Awesome!!! Ending made me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Great reporting; makes us understand that as much as we are willing to interact with these magestic Orcas we should have enormous respect for them

I,m just glad that none of these video taped encounters brightened the water with red die-dye.

I love orcas and study them as a hobby. I worked on a small cruise ship in Alaska. I was able to have the best experience. I watched the orcas the mother and grandmothers teaching their young how to hunt a sea lion. They came so close to the boat and I was wanting to jump in so bad and touch them. But I was able to explain to the other fellow passengers what the orcas was doing.

Imagine if things were different and they did decide to hunt humans. The ocean would become such a dangerous place, since they would be intelligent enough to knock over surfers and small boats. You know those videos where u see them whack seals into the sky... yea that would be us :( Thank for sharing your ocean with us orcas

Orca discussions about humans, "What they gonna do, wrap me in their arms? Lol, their mouth's r so smol they can't even bite!" Other orca, "I think they r cute tho!"

Refreshing video after all the ones showcasing Orcas "attacking" boats!

I wish we could be "Doctor Doolittle" for a while to be able to properly communicate with these wonderful creatures. I fear the Human side of the conversation would be mostly apologies.

To have any encounter with Orca, a true ocean apex predator, must be a genuine _"WOW!"_ moment. And to get up really close to them, must be _"mind blowingly surreal"._ I'm actually jealous. *To date, no human has ever been killed by by a wild Orca.* _It's only the ones that have been kept in captivity that have actually killed a human._

Beautiful. They really do enjoy playtime.

Beautiful beautiful orcas 🥰🥰

Awesome - thank you for sharing this information.

orcas and dolphins are basically ocean puppies looking for love so wholesome!

I love how they just love watching things lol it's awesome

Literally the best animal ever

Dude: encounter a seamingly frendly orca Him:instantly proceed to put his hand in the mouse of the orca to optimise the chances of losing it

Enjoyed this wonderful video! Thank you for sharing it with us!

6:57 Orca was like: "Should I try to have a bite? Nah, smelly feet." 😁

Awww poor Luna. Gorgious Orcas

"8 orca encounters that will brighten your day: the first one will make you cry" Fixed your title for you.

This video makes me want to swim with an orca and just play with ‘em 😮

I could totally see that family of orcas that was following that swimmer having a conversation with each other as to how inefficiently this strange-looking animal swims

Just amazing

really brightened my day hearing that a tugboat killed the first orca....RIP Luna

Awesome.

They are absolutely stunning majestic creatures!

They are beautiful and extraordinary animals.

Amazing

That was cool.

Orca whales are beautifully majestic creatures! I would have loved to have been the person in #3. But could have done without the sad, tragic passing of Luna. 😭😭💔

Ouf just looking at the video I was scared I couldn’t I would be very scared my heart would be pounding !good video Thanks 😊

A baby Orca got himself into trouble a couple of years ago we did what we could to try and reunite Toa with his family but failed sadly he passed away Toa the baby Orca will always be remembered and loved❤️.. RIP Toa... thank you from NZ 🙏🇳🇿

awesome ! that's all you can say. orca are amazing

Awesome video. Nice job 👏👍

"This will brighten your day" Caps off first story with how the whale died trying to interact with humans. My day was gloomed up my dude, thanks.

Crazy!!!

I have this mental image of the Life Cereal commercials, but with the whales talking. “I’m not going to eat it, you try it.” “Im not eating it, let’s get MIKEY! He will eat anything!” 🤣

Orcas are extremely intelligent creatures ❤ and they like humans

God bless You Luna. I was so happy to have known you

I miss the ocean so so much! I've never been on a boat in the ocean once. In the early 70's we went to Orlando once a year for a couple years. Coming into Daytona beach ill never forget seeing the ocean for the first time in my life. We were going up amd down the street nearing the ocean. On top of one little hill, suddenly there was the Atlantic ocean. That sight is burned in memory forever. All i could utter was "wow" in absolute awe, seeing this vast amount of water for the first time in my life. I was in the water all day. I remember the salt water stinging my eyes. When we got back home that evening, i wemt to bed, and could still feel the constant out flow of the water going back and forth. The entire time i was so excited wondering what could be lurking near me. It's a whole lot different in person than just watching on tv. Im 63 now, and will be lucky to ever see the ocean again,.let alone go out in a boat! What i wouldn't give to do that just once! I'm beyond fascinated with the ocean! I can't even remember what it's like.

Love to see a orca or pod of orcas have a friendly interaction but guess I won’t get that chance might as well see them on videos only the good get that experience

They are very playful in the waters on the PNW. The J, K, and L pods are locals and most of us in the area grew up with them in our waterways. We were never afraid to swim with them in Port Gardner bay, until the banned us from having contact with them in 2001.

So much more exciting than any stale aquarium show.

1:55 Orca: Hey you're a weird looking Orca, we cousins?

I love them even though its a bit scary to be that close to a bunch of whales. Went whale watching and the orcas breached one at a time like orchestrated dance. They were swimming in a line by size. The baby orcas were pink and white instead of the gold baby color. They are related to domains. I had about 5 dolphins push me toward shore when a shark appeared at Jersey Beach. They're so lovely and kind to us. One orca could do a big boat in and they choose not to. They love seeing us , the same way that we love them. However, don't go SCUBA DIVING. they know we can't live in water and they will try to make you leave.

You said that would warm my day and the first encounter i see poor Luna was killed and now i'm heartbroken

soo schön bin auf jede begegnug neidisch. das muss so cool sein

Truly amazing creatures.

They are so so beautiful

Excelente natural feeling.Thanks.

Beautiful video. Thanks! I'm skeptical of the repeated claims that Orcas would never harm a human though. They are not familiar with us as food, do not know if it is safe to eat a human, so they stick to their instinctive prey. But just let them get hungry...like every wild predator. The Grizzly Man was cool with the bears until a pissed off gangsta bear came along.

Awww, they like getting pets too

This would be a once in a lifetime accurance. Something I will cherish until my dying day! They are some of my favorite, along with dolphins, sea mammals. When Keiko was here at the Newport aquarium my son's class took a field trip there. I'm pretty small and was able to get right up to the look right in his eyes. He stayed there looking right into my eyes for several seconds, maybe more. The announcer lady said that he loved to hone in on small blondes as she said like he's doing to this lady right here. That was me. It was like he could see my soul and I could see his. We couldn't have been any closer. It was Amazing!! I'll NEVER FORGET IT! I cried and cried when I heard they were sending him to the frigid waters of a sheltered cove in Iceland with limited human interaction. I knew what the outcome would be. Although they took him out with the boats to meet other pods of wild orcas, he followed the boats back to the safety of his bay. All he'd ever known was people and that's all he wanted. Plus his body wasn't accustomed to the frigid waters of Iceland. Shortly afterwards he developed pneumonia and died from the change in water temperature and it and I believe loneliness played a big part in that. He totally Loved people and that's where he longed to be, day and night. Even when the wild orcas were right there. He wanted to be with the people. I just posted this and he's been gone for many years fed daily It WOULDN'T have made a difference to him. The other two orcas would have stayed Right with him. He Totally Loved People and would have stayed with them no matter what the outcome would've been. He thought he was a rather large human and that's where he wanted to stay until he got sick in his bay in Iceland with pneumonia. Sheltered Bay in Iceland. He'll always be so very Special!! ❤💔💔. He'll Always Be So Special, ALWAYS!!!
