@@gd3369 Actually not 100% correct. They do indeed kill eachother aswell. Its most common to see it with their calfs. A rival male, can and will with the help of its mother, co-op and kill the calf of another female Orca in order to further their genes. The males mother, will block the calf's mother, and the male will drown the calf, dragging it down and away from the mother. When the calf is dead, the male gets sexual access to mate. Its brutal, but in many cases needed behavior, to save the genes from inbreeding.

@@cosmopoiesecriandomundos7446 Same here, haven't seen one.

The humans probably kill more narwhals than the whales

Thats why they are unretired fisherman instead of nuclear physicists.

They really need to put a barrier to protect the nursery ground. The killer whale literally attacked baby ward. The human also still hunting the Narwhal too. The only cheapest solution is put a big net that cover the bay entrance from the atlantic sea large enough hole to keep fish in and out but will prevent killer whale to go in. Just like a shock barrier that prevent Asian carp to enter the great lake in America. Another one is can bring profit but will probably receive backlash is hunting or capture killer whale then sold it off for human profit

@@Sapphiregriffin yeah :(

1stVARifleman I don’t think anyone could’ve put it better. I have a brain cell count of 15 and I could understand that.

In my native language they are called blubber-chompers, bit more straight forward.

Well, only male narwhals have tusks. There are a few females that do too, but that is very rare. So if the orcas attacked a nursing ground, they would face females and calves. Which means that there probably weren't many tusks around to use for defense. And besides...I doubt it would help much against a large number of orcas. They are known to attack sharks as well, whose teeth don't really help them either. Orcas are the ultimate predators. Apart from humans, there is nothing that can really stop them.

@@lost7149 they even show that stingray clip in particular

I certainly agree. Even the populations of orca that feed on marine mammals rather than fish are directly affected since the prey they rely on suffer due to overfishing and pollution.

This is why fishing licenses and hunting seasons are so important. But the big industries don't care about anything but money

I agree, but it just be understood that fishing provides a livelihood for some people, it is an occupation. There needs to be stricter limits on size and quantity for the industry to be sustained as well as keeping the ocean ecosystems healthy.

Exactly. The Earth has been going through heating & cooling cycles naturally since the very beginning. You can take ALL man-made carbons combined throughout our entire history, and it's not a drop in the bucket compared to what a volcanic eruption produces DURING A SINGLE DAY. The same goes for the vast swamp & sea grass beds that bilge astronomical amounts of methane gas into the air ( another form of carbon ), and this too, has been going on since the beginning. Carbon is an essential building block for all life, and is especially needed by plant life, which in turn, produces oxygen. Yet the wicked, corrupt mainstream scientific community wants us to believe that "cow farts are warming the Earth". How incredibly stupid.

@@howabouthetruth2157 interesting, every single study on the subject l can find says the exact opposite. While a sigle LARGE and VIOLENT eruption may match the rate of carbon dioxide humans create, these eruption last just a few hours or days, and are extremely rare. We are burning carbon based fuel everyday, 24/7, all over the world, as it has never been done before. During a whole year all the volcano eruptions together can't match the human produced carbon dioxide, that is tens of times larger. I know that it's hard to picture how something so small as a car or a forest burn can produce more pollution than a huge volcano, but always remember, we are 7 billion people. Never in Earth's history a macro animal species has been so prolific. Fun fact about volcanoes and the climate: the big eruptions from the past, created a COOLING effect on the global climate.

Saving these wonderful and smart animals makes me feel comfortable

​@Robert Blackford I meant we kill off the most out of all other species by pollution or overfishing. I don't know what the percentage of hunted/killed per (time period) fish as opposed to overall fish population for that period is though no. Even if I did I would need every marine predator's hunting statistics to make a correct comparison. In any case my point was that we kill enough to change the orcas ecosystems

@@WGandH Who is we? Not me, I serve fish (seafood) maybe twice a month, usually a salmon fillet. So two fillet a month is a salmon per month or 12 salmon a year. There will be plenty of salmon for me and my family for generations if the other 7 billion salmon gobblers on this planet would go away.

Not even close to true. I bet you think we have less trees than we did 100 hundred years ago.

Researchers said they went straight there line they knew where they were going. I'm guessing this isn't the first time it's happened. Sounded like the orcas knew if temperatures were right they could make it to that bay and have a nice meal.

@@percussion44 that’s so dumb

More like we caught up. Arguably Orcas are still more dominant in their environment, nothing hunts orcas that lives in the water, humans are still regularly killed by wildlife.

@@michaelzlprime you mean the orca pod? there has never been an attack on a human by orcas in the wild. To the contrary there have been many cases where orcas have intervened to save a human life. There was another case in Chile recently. My experience is from 1996.

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks I'll deliver Philip the Kudos! 😉

They are quite literally becoming an invasive species. They are not natural to the northern waters of the Arctic. Even in Newfoundland they were not known to be seen in the bays, it’s is only within the recent years that they have been spotted in large pods. They are also known for attacking people’s boat.

@@Zulfburht they are not invasive. They are 100% powered by their own minds. It's just so happens they are not just apex predators but also highy inteligent, so any chance they get, whether credted by other species or by nature, they'll take it Who are you to judge nature? What's next, you'll advocate whalling the orcas? People are the smartest and dumbest things on this planet. Smart enough to build their own environment but stupid enough not to understand that nature CHANGES and if something is lost, something else takes its place

@@LudwigVaanArthans complete nonsense. You're saying that like nature has determined this route, instead of the truth that WE'RE causing these problems from nature's and are in the second great extinction because of what we're doing to the Earth. I'm tired of people like you pretending this is some "natural" change in the world when it's entirely human based.

@@LudwigVaanArthans you need to educate yourself on why and how the Earth is changing because of us, and it's not to our benefit either, let alone the animals we're taking with us. Here are just a few reasons!! Meat is destroying our planet, as is dairy. We have one billion cows on the Earth, a single one produces 70kg-100kg of methane per year. If you're unaware how methane works, here is a description: Methane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH₄. It is a group-14 hydride and the simplest alkane, and is the main constituent of natural gas methane that is released into the atmosphere before it is burned is harmful to the environment. Because it is able to trap heat in the atmosphere, methane contributes to climate change. Ruminant livestock - cattle, sheep, buffalo, goats, deer and camels - have a fore-stomach (or rumen) containing microbes called methanogens, which are capable of digesting coarse plant material and which produce methane as a by-product of digestion (enteric fermentation): this methane is released to the atmosphere Wanna know why there's so many droughts in America? That's because fresh water is given to dairy cows, we're running out of fresh water because of this and even dairy farmers agree it isn't sustainable at all. 90% of what is cut down in the Amazon is fed to livestock, the Amazon rainforest indirectly feeds phytoplanktons that produces 70% of oxygen. Not only is it being cut down to meet the demands of livestock, it's being burned down too for the sake of cattle grazing (of which children are being sent to hospital with respiratory issues due to the continuous smoke coming from burning it). We've now amassed 250 deadzones in the ocean due to overfishing and on top of that, livestock farms are notorious and unregulated in dumping untreated faeces into oceans and rivers because it's cheaper, this causes phisteria, something that also kills phytoplanktons as well as fish. The fishing methods destroy entire ecosystems by casting long next across miles and scarping it across the sea bed to catch whatever they can. 90% is byproduct and not what they were fishing for, the method drowns and kills these animals and are simply discarded back into the ocean, this includes sharks, dolphins, turtles and many more fish variants. We literally cannot breath without a healthy ocean, but apparently consuming meat is more important than sustaining the ecosystems that exist within the ocean, without the ocean we can't survive as a species. Dairy takes up most of our fresh water use (which we're running out of) a dairy cow can be expected to drink up to 8-9 gallons of fresh water per day just to produce milk. It's incredibly unsustainable and cows are being selected as more important to give water to than actual human beings, because people want to suck on cow tits. Expect far more pandemics like the coronavirus to come with how we consume meat. There's already been an influx of viruses created by the squalid conditions livestock are kept in, swine flu, foot and mouth disease, bird flu and far much more. And the biggest reason we are running out of antibiotics? Livestock. Livestock are fed full of antibiotics because of the god awful and unclean conditions they are kept in. With the meat and dairy you consume those antibiotics enter your system, giving the chance for viruses and diseases to mutate and become immune to said antibiotics. I could list a hundred more reasons why consuming meat is destroying us as a species as well as the Earth we live on. 51% of our carbon footprint is created by animals agriculture. Watch Earthlings and Dominion. There are no more excuses to take part and consume what this industry supplies. You've all been brainwashed to look the other way and not consider how your eating habits are not only destroying you, but the Earth itself. This information is easily looked up and I suggest it because it's very important and this kind of information is always hidden from us. G

We have the illusion that Elites and politicans follow their own rules. But Trump didn't get into office because of a coop. 17 million Americans thought it was a good bet to have Trump in office. Our action do matter. The biggest fault of humans are thinking we have no means to change the world at all. That thought will only make the powerful people more powerful, and you more weaker. So the mindset that you are into is only feeding your hopelessness and isnt doing the world actual good. There are always just a bunch of people who change the world.

Thanks for always watching our videos! We used "killer whales" because the scientific studies (you can find the sources above in our description) preferred "killer whales". But we totally agree with you that they're amazing animals.

The scientists themselves used killer whales instead of orcas. I do prefer orcas but it was right naming them killer whales

Yes, I am a whaler, i eat dolphins, i try kill them humanely and do it sustainably and not take more than needed. not commercial. hate me all u want, never gonna change, for me whale/dolphin meat is normal, like u eat pigs, cow etc and people in india think eatiing that is weird and an outrage. but lets do facts here: Killer whale is correct english term, since "orca" is totally in correct since its a binomial nomencleture, and is the species. u can NOT do that without putting in genera/genus) Orcinius. genus always capital first letter, species NEVER! many animals can share same species name, like "orca" but NEVER share same genus and species at same time, so Orcinus orca or O. orca is taxonomically correct. since there could be a H. orca, the O. orca is VERY important. secondly, stop correcting from "its not a whale but a dolphin" it sounds retarded because its so much deeper. in ceataceans (whales) there are families and subfamilies. dolphins belong to Delphinanea, family. thats a family in ceataceans(whales in common speak) so yes they are whales! Blue whales and Bowhead are not only not in same genus they not even in same family. as big a difference between them as between O. orca and the blue whales(cant remember their binomial nomencleture, i am spider person, not marine person(spiders belong in entomology) So point, they are whales! another point. all domesticated animals started as wild caught and wild animals. keeping big whales like killer whales in captivity should only be done if u have a bio setup, with natural prey(live prey) and not chlorinated water but bio flora and a HUGE tank and a good pod. then its okay :) But NO ONE could ever afford that! so it cant be done setting them free? 1. most will die, they cant even hunt! 2. most are hybrids. their are subspecies in the O. orca, and seaworld etc have mixed the subspecies and we do NOT want to pollute if one survives and crossbreeds! period! keep animal bloodlines clean! enough animals are destroyed, just look at snake hobby! attacks in wild DO OCCUR! and they are violent! search "hans+surfer+california+72+killer whale+bite" and u can see many sites with several attacks. NON fatal YET but bloody and serious! so stop the myth about no attacks in the wild. and just because there is no recorded fatality does not mean it has not happened. MANY people die each year from snake bites but officially maybe 100-200 world wide die because no official report or cause of death is done. same with shark attacks. so there might be more attacks even fatal ones which has not been recorded and hence not in official statistics.
