Those things are vicious killers! He better watch out because they could do terrible things to him if they want! All it takes is one of them to go off and he wouldn’t be living anymore! Why take a chance?

Orcas never hurt humans Known fact

I did get that impression

@@Zolindigo no see how she kept nosing around the rear of the boat? They were looking for a fish stringer, not sure if you know the term in English, but the thing where kayak fishermen string fish through the gills and hang them off the back of kayak to keep them fresh

@@chir0pter I know they're intelligent, but surely not to that extent?

thank you

Why would he get hurt? Unless he's off the coast of Spain, maybe.

He wouldn’t get hurt. They’re orcas. They come up to people all the time.

@@X-Prime123 And has a rudder.

@@X-Prime123 Who knows, maybe Orca decides screw it I'm tired of destroying boats let's see what this human looks like in pieces.

hahaha, I normally don't speak much on my videos to be honest, I've never been good at the, thanks lol.

@@Zolindigo you should narrate an orca documentary, you have a lovely voice

@@dinosinspace aaaayyy... thank you

thanks

And how dangerous and brutal they are as well. They are a bit like large dogs to us in terms of they are not likely to attack at all, and are far more likely to want to interact with you than harm you but they are still highly dangerous. They can destroy us with sheer ease.

@@MannequinStep не было случаев нападения касаток на человека в природе, действует ТАБУ . Главное чтобы люди не повели себя к ним жестоко. У берегов Испании с касатками "боевые действия". Касатки повреждают рулевое управление у лодок. Возможно из-за случая агрессии людей - загарпунили касатку

If you're in the water I think it's best to stay calm and not swim away. I have seen that work in a video. If you swim away they might follow you, but it's not likely they will hurt you. Just follow you cause they're curious.

​@@varvara6455 It's in the news that orcas destroy boats. Maybe it's cause of experience being hurt of one of those boats? If people hunt orcas I don't know, are they people who do that? That's not allowed or?

well said, these animals belong int he ocean, no animal should be kept in captivity.

wow! which part of florida were you in?

Wow.. Florida? Where at? yeah you're correct they're rare here because of the warm water. Musta been in the winter. that musta been one helluva an experience for you. They're so beautiful too. I don't know how they keep their skin so clean. If you ever have a next time you should pat the water with your hand they may come right up to you as they've been known to do that. have you heard of Dr Ingrid Visser? She's in NZ waters and is always swimming amongst them. They come right up to her and even give her "food" at times! Obviously they all know her very well.

@@sugarbunnies11 Not in Florida, this was in Auckland, New Zealand.

@@leecowell8165 hi Lee, this was in New Zealand. And yes I know Dr Visser, not personally, she is quite famous here in NZ, i'm a big fan of hers

I was thinking the same thing

Yes right they aren't stupid. They check the situation and if no danger is near...they are curious about what is going on

No she was a juvenile. None of the adults came up to him. they let the juveniles have at "it".

@@leecowell8165 a marine biologist on the channel KPassionate noted that the orcas attacking boats around the Iberian Peninsula are juveniles, with the exception of Gladis Blanca, who seems to be the ringleader.

They very much do attack humans. They are the wolves of the sea. Make sharks look like dumb thugs.

@johndillinger5142 Could you possibly provide me proof of that fact? I've learned that they don't attack humans. My guess would be if someone's in a small plastic kayak or come close into the shore attempting to eat one of their other prey fish, seals, etc.

@@johndillinger5142 I'm aware they especially hunt Great Whites for their livers only due to the high nutrients in them.

Orcas don't "eat" humans, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't kill humans. They are wild animals after all and could very easily kill a human without meaning to while being playful or curious.

Oh sorry. Spoke before it got that close!! And didn’t know u were in a kayak!!

"Orcas are one of the species that exhibit benevolence towards humans." Tell that to the people off Spain whose yachts they attacked and nearly sunk!

I can't wait for the next oportunity

Exactly!! I thought the same thing. She was definitely in a position of herding him out to deep water.

oh no I certainly didn't want to be anywhere near the big male hahaha

thanks

There is 0 documented cases of orcas attacking humans in the wild. Guy was in no danger whatsoever.

There has never been a reported Orca attack on a human. They are extremely smart animals and just don't see us as food. Sharks seem to mistake us for weals and such, but not Orcas.

So you know what was going on in that whales head and what it’s intentions were in the moment? GTFOH 😂🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

@@ScottRoney Firstly they are not whales they are orcas, a member of the dolphin family and secondly, no, I am definitely not an orca psychologist, no more than you are, but I based my comment on the numerous human encounters there have been with these animals where they have displayed a curious nature and a desire to interact with us (just look at the many videos on KZfaq) and, since no orca has been known to attack a human, in the wild, I genuinely believe this person was in no danger. Still, if all you can do is make snide comments then perhaps it is you who should GTFOH.

That baby killer whale couldve been the Ted Bundy of Orcas.

@@ScottRoney omg, these were all EXACTLY my thoughts as I was reading the filmer have the Orcas' thoughts "honestly" interpreted to him. Either the commenter was a fifth grader just back from SeaWorld, with all the confidence and that charming ignorance of youth, or it was Ingrid Visser, the famous Orca expert. Otherwise, I'm keeping a healthy distance until the Orcas themselves tell me what they are thinking.

Exact opposite, that whale was irritated and was herding him out of the area. As nice as wild animals are even if you are close, STAY AWAY FROM THEM when they are just with their children. You seriously run the risk of concerning them and getting attacked. If you ask me, he was about to have his kayak flipped over before it said, "nah, he's retreating anyways forget about it". Killer Whales can be real jerks. You won't catch me out on the ocean with a little kayak, way too dangerous.

thanks

on the little boat, gotta be as respectful as I can be lol

thank you

The part of the boat you describe is spelt RUDDER. if you insist on using my family name please use a capital R.

thank, it was a very slow fishing day but these orcas made up for it, I could say they made my day, but instead I'd say: they made my year.

​@@Zolindigo I don't think you need to be scared of them though. 🙂

@@Readysetgo2007 i think it's more like a reverence than fear. I mean they are the apex predators of the ocean and called killer whales.

I was shaking, hahaha

thank you so much

Never attack? You mean like the 13 boats they've attacked near the Strait of Magellan? Some of which they've destroyed and sunk?

@@ritcheymt Orcas live in pods, tight-knit family units, around the world. One pod is not the same as the other. They're known to use different hunting tactics, exhibit different behaviors and have different diets. Only 1 pod is known to have attacked boats: the one in the Strait of Gibraltar (which I assume you meant; I've seen no reports for this from the Strait Of Magellan). Behavior is taught within pods, but rarely across pods. We're talking about 1 pod that lives in the northeast Atlantic region and orcas are not a planetwide migratory species; in fact, not even all pods migrate. Even if you did mean the Strait of Magellan in the Pacific side of South America, these 2 pods have never even met. There are more pods around the world in different regions around the world that have not exhibited this behavior at all. What I'm also wondering is if these orcas would actually attack humans in the water. They're damaging boats, but we can't even say for a fact it's an attack, since that implies we know their motivation, and we don't. Would they attack humans in the water? I mean, we're not very nutricious for oceanic animals. And if their regular food is in low supply they'd start migrating more randomly (like the Southern Resident orcas have had to do of late) around the southeast Atlantic looking for food and not just start attacking humans.

thank you

@@Zolindigo Oh! You're quite welcome!

hi Kathy, you experience sounds it was amazing and scary at the same times.

In the whole history of humans on water? Inuit and Vikings have stories of Orca attacks. They are suspected of sinking several sailboats with one confirmed 100% case. A family in the pacific on way to Hawaii.

Yep, this is true. Not one single report of Orca hunting or killing humans EVER. Maybe they're just fussy eaters!

thank you so much

lol

thank you for watching

yep

Especially creatures that could easily kill you.

I might just do that amigo!

Welp when you're right you're right

It worked

@@shahzebnasir4692 😉

Defo worked lol 👊

Blablabla! Orcas do not sink boats! The boats sink due to damage on the rudder suspension. Sailingboats under 15 Meter length should protect their rudder one way or another...

@@malu8653 Damage caused by angry orcas. Yes they have sunk a few boats, there is video evidence. We just haven't yet figured out the reason.

@@thatguyjoe007 I think, "angry orcas" would behave completely different. You are right, we don't know the reason by now, but they dont want to sink the boats for sure!

Several Sailboats have been rammed by Orcas one on a California to Hawaii passage. The family abandoned ship and the Orca swam around them for a couple hours while in their life raft.

it was a lovely day

It's is our home

Not true, Inuit have stories of Orcas causing disappearing tribe members. They are beautiful creatures but they are calculating the risk in making us a meal make no mistake.

@@georgewashington7444 Being Canadian and a biologist that’s actually read the papers written on Orcas with the invaluable help from Inuit to update what we know about these dolphins, I beg to differ. Not once in the years of study did any of the indigenous peoples ever claim one of their own went missing or killed due to an orca encounter. As a matter of fact, not only do they get up close and personal with the orca they know exactly what each pod eats, where, and differentiate one pods sounds from another. Thank you for your thoughts. Have a wonderful day.

I hope that was the case :)

@@Zolindigo yup I'm pretty sure, she wouldn't have hurt you, she was looking underneath your kayak as you where pedaling

true

Safest you’ll ever be as crazy as that sounds. You know there wasn’t a dangerous predator within 3+ miles.

Yep... and males do NOT mate with females of the their pod either how smart is that? I suppose this is why pods get along so well as these animals do NOT fight with one another. well maybe a little...

just like my wife lol

That’s true. They live in matriarchal societies. Great video though, and this gentleman is brave nonetheless.

@@ZolindigoVery funny. And the way it should be. :). Thanks for sharing this video with us though… I can definitely see why your legs would be shaking. Even I gasped and got scared just looking at it, when he/she came so incredibly close. That is no joke. They literally could tip us in seconds. And kill us. It’s a good thing they are so smart and so nice. But considering they are beginning to disable boats, and ram them, maybe we should - as a society - stop being a*#holes to them, by hunting them to capture them for Sea World and other marine parks around the world. I can’t blame them for starting to attack the things that attack and kill them. We would do the exact same.

imagine oh no ahahahah

you should come and watch it from 'the comfort of the shallows'

si, me asuste un poquito mucho jajjaa

this was in Auckland, New Zealand

I love Army Bay, one of my favorites fishing spots

I think she was just curious

You are hilarious

“If they come close like in the video, it means they are coming to you and you could whistle... Make sure it's high pitch. Just don't ever do it if they don't initiate contact first” 🙂 This is contradictory. First you say whistle, and then you say don’t ever do it if they don’t initiate contact. Anyway, have fun 🙂

@@acp865 I'm guessing English is not your first language? Might want to re-read that. Your attempt at being PC failed miserably there. Nice try, though

@@itsjxomusic Hi jxo. 🙂👋🏻 It looks like we have a tough guy here. A keyboard warrior!. It’s clear you didn't pick up on the joking tone of my post. I never meant any animosity to you, but it looks like you wear your feelings on your shoulder. By the way, I avoid being PC at all costs so I guarantee you there was no attempt at it. So anyway, I wish you a wonderful day/night and you might want to change clothes, I think you soiled your under garments.

If this ever happened to me I'd definitely STOP pedaling or moving about just to observe how closely they would approach. They've been known to come right up to humans look at this amazing footage here on YT: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbydnMiiz7uUdWw.html Someone interviewed this swimmer afterwards she's a 60yo woman and they came right up to her. She had absolutely no fear of them. This was Mommy with her obvious female offspring. This was off the coast of NZ in December, 2019. She stated that they looked at her eyeball to eyeball a foot away. Also Dr Ingrid Visser also of NZ has had many encounters with them through the years. They've even brought her food as an offering. Its incredible how smart they are.

“Mammal. Whatever…. “. I love Seinfeld too. Great memory. For those who never saw it or don’t remember, this is what George Costanza said when he was risen up by a wave and landed on top of a whale, before pulling the golf ball out of its blowhole. Absolutely hilarious.

😆😅🤣

Gracias Kitty! besos

yep, that's exactly what my brain was telling me, but my legs were thinking other wise. hahaha

​@Zolindigo hahaha I wouldn't've been able to do that. I would probably scream and piss them off maybe 💔😂😂😂 it's terrifying for me. And I'm glad I can finally see someone who feels nervous around them, like normal person😅 😂

There are literally boats being attacked by killer whales

thanks

luck for my 'no tasty' 🤣

@pinkettandthebrain I read it somewhere; researcher was considering footage they captured and why a couple of orcas were bumping potential prey (but wasn't organic) on the surface. Been looking for the article/video...
