Kriminal Dragon I don't eat meat. Vegetarian for 15 years, thanks. Don't drink cow's milk either...

Kriminal Dragon uh i dont know how you thought about her not eating meat came to your defense based off her original comment. I think she knew why the orcas were exhausting the baby, to eat it.

Why didn’t the humpback kill them

And do you eat meat?

Hector Aldozar the humpback should have had enough power to shatter the orcas bones so why didn’t it

They are known as wolves of the sea.

True, but it’s a shame they eat just about anything like sharks.

@@lissalives1 There is no shame, nature doesn't afford them the luxury to pick and choose, besides they have to eat to keep up with their voracious appetite otherwise they will perish.

@@samuellp1146 Killer Whales are such successful hunters (their actually the most successful predator of all aquatic creatures) that they're actually one of the few species in the ocean able to afford eating only certain parts of their prey. They are famously known for eating only the tongue's of whales and liver's of sharks and then discarding the body allowing it to be eaten by scavengers. They have such confidence in their hunting ability that they can literally afford to only eat the things they find "tastiest" and discard the rest, you may be right about their appetite but they absolutely can afford the luxury of choice.

@@alexomer9916 like I said above they are wolves of the seas, they move in pods like wolves do in packs when hunting (also for centuries were known to help fishermen hunt whales) . Fun fact the orca can sense a woman is pregnant guess how?

+direfranchement its a guess but Orcas aren't whales but since the humpbacks and grey whales are both speises of the Great whales its possible they understand eachother

I came here from this article on whales saving other species from orcas. Very interesting and fascinating. www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/stories/humpback-whales-around-globe-are-mysteriously-rescuing-animals-orcas

Humpbacks are the gentle giants of the ocean, they've been witnessed to save so many other animals from the killer orcas.

sayjai bao most of the great whales are gentle giants.

Humpbacks are also known to save other species from Killer whales (like seals...)

Orcas are the same ! sadly you witnesses two social species at the WAR ...but they are BOTH fenomenal creatures compasionate and inteligent . Terms of valid comparations are HARD to make here

Mmm some scientist thinks that rather than compassion it's just that hatred of the Humpbacks against Orcas because they prey on their young and sick.

Can't intervene with nature, humans have already done enough to the ecosystem

Everytime I see one of these pretentious "aNiMAls aRe bEtTER thAN PeOPle" comments my eyes roll hard enough to power a medium-sized city.

@@kukulroukul4698but they both are not as compassionate as a dolphin so let’s just end the convo righ there

Nice one Trekky. Wahahaha.

But they need a new name ...humpback doesn’t sound all,that heroic ...

Ah that’s pretty good

@@coolcat5714 What's heroic in a name? Orcas don't sound heroic either. Killer whales sounds better for them wolves of the sea.

Who would travel across the galaxy to talk to a whale?

That’s cool man!

That calf was a gray whale calf. Not a humpback. They were trying to defend gray whales.

Gray Whale was already died long time ago..

Black Manta this is the best comment I've ever seen

Mr Gatoso haha

Make this a trilogy

Lol

Except that orcas aren't whales lol

@Ben Louis ok there are 2 MAJOR things you are overlooking: 1. It's common knowledge that when filming a documentary, you can't intervene; especially if the scenario is a predators hunting prey. That's what documentary are made for, to document nature unfolding. 2. Even if that wasn't the case, what could they have possibly been able to do to stop the orcas? If they were to move the boat to get between the orcas, what's to stop the orcas from swimming around or under the boat and continuing the attack? Or if they did move the boat it would run the risk of the boat getting damaged during the attack

@Ben Louis your joking right?

@Derreck Jones right you just keep telling yourself that....

@Derreck Jones Cute, you think I've "lost my Moral compass" even though I just know how documentaries work This person on Quora quoted this better than I ever could so I'm just going to show it here: Think about it this way You are in that documentary crew. In the middle of Africa. 3 of you are crammed into a Land Rover jammed to the roof (and above) with camera gear and supplies. You are at the start of a three week odyssey to shoot a nature doc. A Lion cub is injured. What do you do? You are not a vet. You have no room in your vehicle. The nearest vet might be four days away via bumpy road. The cub would likely die on route even if you were not arrested for poaching. What about the Mother? You would have to tranquillize/immobilize her (how?) while you take her cub. Maybe you would also have to frighten off/disable the pride as well for your getaway. So now maybe you have a knocked out lion(s) right beside all your camera gear you left to make room for the cub as you race off to try and find somebody somewhere who knows how to heal a lion cub. Odds are good the mother would be eaten if knocked out when the land rover was out of sight. The cub would die on route. The equipment would be damaged, stolen or lost. You would run out of gas or time. All the animals you tried to save would be dead the documentary would not get done and likely you would never do another nature doc again. A documentary crew is extremely limited in what they can do on location. A documentary shows what is actually happening, it is not a Disney movie. It is hell out there in the wild. But a good documentary can help save a species. Global human impact on the environment is killing far more animals every hour than if every animal ever injured on camera could have been somehow saved. 99.9% of the time all a documentary can do is say "look at this thing happening here, send help"

@Ben Louis You cannot be serious.. what exactly would you have done ?

Nice info

the crew needed to help humpback whales

I was thinking the same thing. All the action is below the surface

They would break the camera you idiots

@@spankablenazichimp6084 it's not about breaking the camera so you're the idiot. The visibility isnt good enough to put a camera in the water at that distance.

Good idea! Jump in and do it for them. Lol As it was mentioned before the visibility at that distance won't work so get in nice and close!

There should be filming underground!

"And in our communities, many people remain silent when their peers are bullied." I know, we could learn from humpbacks I think. Because they will protect seals, sealions, dolphins and other, smaller whales as well. That's why I love 'em... coz they stand up to bullies. I got badly bullied at school. I could've done with a humpback or two in my class at school. Wahahaha.

Untrepid One The human race deserves it

nah its just Whalesare known to fuck with Sharks and orca whales because its like a war if you were an humpback whale full grown you dont want orca growing up killing ur offspring u wanna try and stopthem from feeding and even attack them at some points

@@milanka882 ok orcas arent bullies

@@ST-wr6bo well they are, orcas are the king at sea

I'm glad I'm not the only who thought that was unreal

Dolphins are a type of whale

They're whales.. who are a cousin to dolphins.

They’re whales....... that’s why they are called killer WHALES for a reason

"Look at this amazing incredible thing that has only happened once - that we didn't film! Wasn't it great?"

"- that has only happened once -" Actually........ www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/stories/humpback-whales-around-globe-are-mysteriously-rescuing-animals-orcas

You cant just throw a camera udner the water.

I dont think you got the point. Look at that camera at 0:59 Do you know how much that cost? You honestly dont think they could also invest in a camera that is water proof? Im just sayin....

Think about what you're actually investing time to complain about here...

Yeah, they're like the inner city gangs of the ocean.

Yes. One saved a lady from a great white. He kept his pectoral fin under the lady (in between her and the shark). She thought the humpback was playing with her and she was so scared. When she got back to the boat they asked her how scared she was to see that huge great white coming for her. She said she never even knew there was a shark. Then she realized the humpback was protecting her, not playing with her!

HaHaa.. indeed..

Wow that's actually a great statement 👏

Just further proof how ridiculous macro evolution is. You cannot be serious

@@shoazdon7000 are you retarded? I just said orcas have hind legs and pelvic bone. That's fact do some research pal. Why would a sea animal even have a pelvic bone? Because their ancestors walked bud. Evolution is real it's been proven in a lab. Checkmate.

@@shoazdon7000 theres so much evidence of it, including these vestigial remains like "feet" on snakes and this. did god put pointless vestigial remnants on animals? or are they shrinking away from millions of years of disuse where it's not necessary for s3xual selection? your own refusal to grasp the timescales and how it all works does not speak to the science 'ridiculousness'. only of you.

Matt Matton That's not true. It depends on the eco-type. Atlantic orcas feed on minkie whales all the time. Ross Sea orcas feed on seals. Resident orcas, yes, eat fish. Transient orcas feed on sea lions, fish, and other things. This is perfectly normal, Matt.

+Matt Matton The Blue One well yea it could be but before humans fished the sea empty we whaled it empty which is what they were eating before.

Linda Smith we are also part of nature and we can intervene, but we never think what kind of intervention that actually helps to balance nature, since we just trust our ego and emphaty, not our brain

Matt - that's in correct Pretty sure it most depends on where the orcas live and what types they are

#moron

Man is the apex predator on land sea and sky

Nope Sperm whales

Indeed they are! But a match against orca and humpback would prove a humpback whale victorious. Why are orcas still the apex predator? Well here's the misconceptions appears, apex predator doesn't mean the one that could prey on to something but it means that something couldn't prey on them. Although a humpback whale can win a match against an orca, still the orca is the apex predator cause the humpback doesn't prey on the orca and just let them go or swim away after the confrontation.

@@ayongjohnvincent320 orca is the apex predator

Thugs??? Morelike Mafia... 😂😂😂😂

nah there predators

Orca pods destroyed half of the whale and shark family

If you don't find nature dramatic and awesome, then a part of you is a bit dead inside. We're not all Vulcans you know.

Yeah but there is about 15 minutes of this footage without music on KZfaq. It's the original footage too, pretty full-on. Some pretty triggered humpbacks. Wahahaha.

No but Vulcans can communicate with hb's. Wahahaha.

Ruins it for me too

even if they could of they shouldnt. its nature, gotta let nature do what it does.

they weren't trying to stop the orcas, tehy were trying to film it

But isn't it interesting that intelligent creatures have compassion in a way that isn't necessarily rational? It's possible that intelligence naturally leads to compassion and empathy, which would be a very good thing in case we ever encounter more advanced alien civilizations. But first, we need to figure out how to communicate with mammals on our own planet, because they're biologically similar to us and more likely to be capable of interacting with us than beings from different solar systems.

Have to wait till the Vulcans get here to communicate with humpbacks. Wahahaha.

on land,people got stabbed ,they were filming with their smartphone and never helped the victim,that's nature,of human.

They wouldn't be able to prey on the full grown mother. It's the same everywhere in the animal world. Predators aim at the weakest one to save energy and maybe their own lives

it isnt cruel you just are one of those "people" you eaten a fast food burger? Stuff is made from baby cows so you are eating a baby, that mean your cruel?
