Absolutely. I refuse to visit zoos or aquariums anymore.

You can still have fun observing them out in nature! That's my point!

Pete Fredrickson That was my point, as well. Some idiots like Jeffrey will simply never get it.

***** Again.....right over your head.

LABRATSFAN2016 I don't really hate zoos for the most part, just circuses and marine parks like Seaworld mostly because they put animals through suffering unnecessarily.

+TIKI K lol this made me laugh

haaaaa and looks like they not even busting a sweat

for real I never knew they were that fast , amazing

They are seriously fast. Dolphins can swim at 30 knots - orcas can outrun them.

they also swim far too, about 100 miles a day.

LOLL

Sounds really like the kind of conversation these orcas could have had, lel.

i think they might try to catch up and eat the boat and people?? idk

Shelly Man Orcas don't eat humans.

They might have fancied a change from fish. I don't think you hang around .

lagu anak

50 km/h

This is one of the main reasons they are the APEX predators of the sea with the main reason being their intelligence. Their speed and stamina can’t be matched by most of their prey and other predators. It’s incredible how they will chase a whale (like a pack of wolves) for that same amount of time and for miles, til the whale fatigues.

That's why also there shouldn't been kept in small bathtubs like Seaworld and Miami Seaaquarium! There need to swim alot and fast!

+ozzy do I'm sure killer whales are way more aware of dangerous human things than the other "slower" whale species. Even with out ever seeing a propeller before, I'm sure they can connect the dots.

Me too!!!

blacksoulman that is an idiotic comment. you clearly have not spent time out on the ocean.. the amount of animals you see damaged by propellers is RIDICULOUS> you're an idiot.

@giancarlo stanton lmfao so a propeller still sticks out if its a inboard. Of course it is you see any outboards on that big boat.

@@noway57 yeah but inboards props are usually further under the boat and have the rudders in front of them

But China doesn't have a monopoly on them.

that was funny

🐼+🐬=🐳

Don't tell people how to describe things.

No, pandas are orca bears.

Lol

lol omg... was this a serious comment?

well, orcas belong to the Delphinidae family just like some dolphins, in fact the Delphinidae family is also called the oceanic dolphin family and the killer whale it's his largest member. So yes, it was a serious and correct comment.

^^^

i think she was referring to the more popular types of dolphins, ones with long snouts like Bottlenose Dolphins and the Atlantic Spotted Dolphins.

***** No, humans are never on the menu with Orcas. Like dolphins, Orcas are highly intelligent and well aware of what humans are. They have a natural curiosity about humans whenever we enter the water because like us, they are mammals with very large brains. It's ironic that you mentioned the Orca would make Jaws its bitch, because Orcas have been known to attack and kill Great White Sharks, but they are no threat to humans.

killer whales are dolphins, the largest of the dolphin family

TheOrmsson Yes, that's kind of what I meant when I said they are "related" to dolphins. Both Killer Whales and dolphins belong to the oceanic dolphin family.

I bet if you threw someone into the sea with 10 orcas and left them there floating on the surface it would take about 30 mins or so before they start smashing the human out the water like a seal playing "games" with you...I'm pretty certain we are not on the food chain , but if left with them for so long out in the wild they would kill you. I don't dislike orcas but they have always scared me more than what a shark has. very (happy/agressive) animals. weird mix of friendly but incredibly brutal killers, they play with their food too by slapping seals around into the air breaking their bones to dust before they tare them apart. so if I was given the choice to be thrown to sharks or orcas I would pretty much cut my loses and hop into the sharks, I think I'd have a better chance of swimming away and not being playfully followed by a pod of orcas while you totally shit yourself. at least with sharks they decide weather they are gona eat you or leave you within a minute or 2.

Davie otops Nope, if you threw someone into the sea with 10 Orcas, the Orcas would more than likely not bother the person, or they'd perhaps approach them with curiosity, but no differently than dolphins. There is a video of a dog that was swimming along a beach near feeding Orcas, and one of them approached the dog and pushed the dog to shore in order to make sure the dog was safely out of the way. The only reason that Orcas do what they do with seals is because seals are on the menu; humans and dogs are not.

Yep, they are. They normally swim 5-7 miles per hour. And they swim far too, reaching around 100 miles a day.

My research tells me that killer wales are not wales but the largest of the dolphin family. Very smart and Apex predators, meaning they have no predators after them, they are at the top of the food chain in the sea.

+R Alan no way ☝🏼Great Whites may in fact be at the top of the food chain

Fuhrer - Please research killer whale vs great white shark. Then revise your comment.

Orcas eat them for lunch ^^ though not usually i heard

MsWatcheverything you know they paid to ride the boat right ? ..

Aurok I don't care as long as the animal is free and happy

MsWatcheverything what if the animal is in captivity and is happy ?

Aurok No such thing for a large marine mammal.

Ronald Bringhurst Proof ?

agree... a memory that will last a lifetime. Its unfortunate that people misinterpret Orcas as fearsome predators. While thats true, Orcas (for whatever reason) don't eat or intentionally harm humans.

COURT GO TO HAE HAI COROMANDEL IN NZ AFTER WHALE WATCHING

realy my sister care about you but what after die?islamreligion.com

RIP Tilikum. See World Prison.

No floppy fins here! haha

Hell yeah!

SallyOhMally3 their fins are huge and intimidating when they are free!

Paranoia lol ikr

Kristopher G ikr

lol these things are really killing machines wouldnt wanna piss it off but they look like sea pandas =)

I rather call pandas "land orcas".

they are called killer whales cause they eat dolphins, and they are dolphins themselves

dudersification wouldnt that make them cannibal whales!!!

yes but it has to do with nature so they are just labeled killer whales, who would want a name like cannibal whales lol, that would strike more fear than the name they have now, i asked a couple of friends about your question before lol so i know the feeling

dolphins have a reputation of surfing on boat wakes for kicks. orcas are friendly playful animals but they're not tame.

Scary cat

+gixer turbo Indeed, taxonomically they are a type of giant dolphin and not whales.

@@octapusxft They are still in the Toothed Whale family. As are all members of the dolphin family. So they ARE whales, but not all whales are dolphins.

***** dogs were bred to want human companionship. How can you compare a domesticated animal to a wild one? Your comment made no sense.

Allison S. that was a digital slap in the face!!!!! Ha Ha!! GET EM

Gryphon S. Well to be fair dogs weren't always domesticated. At one point in time humans had to have captured wild dogs.

Bruce Banner You know that there have been almost no agressive swings by killer whales to humans in the wild but in captivity a number of people have been killed

***** Nice wikipedia.

Fuck Sea World, watch the documentary 'Blackfish'.

i've watched blackfish like 5 times:P

Kamele Rivera

ok

Orcas aren't​ actually whales, they are dolphins

ballinacrossrose but are they free? Are any of us free really? That is the bigger question

ballinacrossrose there not whales the orca is a dolphin

manny mew we are more free then inmates, pets, pure slaves, and other animals in our animal kingdom

Monokhem They are 2 separate species.

Sean Harris they're whales, they're also referred to as 'killer whales'.

Sometime you think I need a bigger engine ... this might be one of those days

me too. i will never fill the pockets to watch animals in a swimming pool for those greedy businessman who keep them in tanks

what about SeaWorld?

seaworld is the worst!

Creative Vlogs I. Bet you have though . TV maybe ?

@@benday3043 I'll admit, I watched free willy about 63,000 times as a child.

wild ones yes, captive borns sadly no

Sadly, you are right. They will never get to experience their true native wild life. For them my heart does break.

Well you still could, after the college. but you would have to limit yourself very much and abstain from a lot of things.

I grew up on an island in British Columbia, and saw whales, dolphins, and all manner of sea creatures on a regular basis from my living room windows. And the fishing... Oh my.

That's right! 🙏🙏🙏💙

You are so lame. Don't you run away in a car or a yatch? If you want to get grammatically correct. The swimming away trying to scape from Killer Whales. You are the worst troll ever.

***** clever lol

What are you talking about??? My blood pressure is right on the dot. 12/7. Besides, I wasn't infuriated nor rattle by anything you said. I just stated two facts. You are awful as a troll and killer whales are in fact dolphins. =)

Don't be too literal he was just making light jest of a phrase you used metaphorically. Didn't seem very troll-ish at all to me.

Screw his light jest of the phrase. He is a clown who was looking for attention. My mistake was that I gave to him. He is an asshole and that's as undeniable as Killer whales are dolphins. He doesn't know me to act like that. He is the one who take phrases literally and use it to make a sorry of a joke.

Killer Whales are just the only whales that eat large animals. Thy're actually pretty friendly towards humans, at least in the wild.

They're pretty friendly towards us. They weren't trying to eat them ; they just wanted to play.

There has never been any account of killer whales harming humans in the wild. They are very smart that they can distinguish between food and humans. Don't mistake them for sharks.

gothicheiressleah really? id have thought as they eat seals, a person would be pretty similar and just as easy to toss around. half expected them to ram the boat or something. i know they clearly were not being aggressive but id have been far more worried than excited when a whole pod of pack hunting animals that eat seals surround a small boat of people

gothicheiressleah The orcas only ate people at SeaWorld only because they were kept in captivity for too long, that's the only time orcas ate people. Orcas eating people in the wild was never heard of..

ignorant statement

Bu I'm willing to guess that plenty of orca have been attacked by human

No fatal attacks have occurred in the wild, there were attacks but they're accidental. We look nothing like what they normally eat or see in their habitat (fish, squid, crustacea, seals, porpoise,...), so there's no reason for them to attack us. Also many Orcas live couple of miles close to the coasts (residents or transients), so human-Orca contact would be quite common, and yet attacks have remained rare.

In recent history maybe, it seems the orcas in the pacific used to be quite mean to ships

Ships were probably quite mean to them first. Elephants hide their tusks because they know people find them valuable. Orcas are just as smart or smarter.

Nice channel great content

XxCrazyxX Thank you. It's mostly tech stuff with a few vids of my trip to South Africa. Honestly I have lost the desire to create new tech content. Maybe I'll get my second wind.

Killer whales are Dolphins.

***** That's not what they tell me.

HaligonianType1 That's not what who tells you?

Have you heard the story of Keiko the orca, who they tried to free, but in the end he died because he got too close to a large ship and was struck by the propeller? Yeah they found he was seriously malnurished and relied too heavily on humans to know how to hunt. Sure, go ahead and free them all so they can suffer the same fate. A slow long starving death. Is that what you want?

+CarusioMystWolf Maybe if they weren't in seaworld in the first place, they'd know how to live for themselfes. But you'll probably just come up with come excuse like seaworld is "Saving" them.

Potato I agree that it would have been better to leave them the hell alone. I just don't want to see them be set free only to die.

CarusioMystWolf Apparently you do not realize that these animals can be shown how to hunt. Apparently that flies way over your head. Yes, free them.

Anjel WithaJ K I'll take your word over the experts...

+john wasterson cause people are bunch of dumb fucks.

+Life On Two Wheels,Then also are called black whales.I call them orcas that's just me I guess🐬🐬

I call them Orcas too. Some people want to rename them to "Sea Panda" which I think is pretty cool.

Because they do kill, they are sometimes referred as the wolves of the sea (Panda bears are vegetarians!), they hunt in packs and are extremely vicious with their preys. They kill baby whales while the mother is nursing it by drowning, very horrible. Orcas although have highly developed social skills are very imposing, violent creatures always scouting the territory for Orca females and more baby whales. They are nasty evolved creatures. Don't mess with them...you don't want to deal with those teeths.

Because aside from humans. Orcas are THE apex predator. As someone else mentioned, they hunt like wolves. Only these wolves weigh five tons, have human-like intelligence, and are notorious for playing with their food while it's still alive. Hell they even kill sharks only to harvest particular organs, before abandoning the carcass and moving on to their next victim. And if that weren't enough; do some research on what they've been known to do to other (larger) species of whales. The real question is; what is it about us that attracts their curiosity even though they don't see us as food?

ROFL....Good point.

there not whales and fair point but its because dolphins tend to do this with boats for extra speed.

expressrobkill

La fiesta Patrick Sébastien

Bat5hade well, they don't know, they could be confused about the boat, chasing them, or playing, nobody can assume what they were doing

seriously dude.

TylerFilms Its actually True they are dolphins not whales

OneHappyGuy they also eat other dolphins...and well everything else in the ocean too.

Flippity Floppity Killer whales are "toothed whales". So are dolphins.

Flippity Floppity Yep, orca are the top apex predator in water. A great white has no chance against a pod of these black and white dolphins.

Yes, fucking terrifying

realy my sister care about you but what after die?islamreligion.com

@@hamadagarip9213 are you suggesting that I see whales after I die? I don't see how your response has anything to do with my comment. thank you for the link though.

+Adam Kelleher They're all whales.

Katie True, but there are more than one type of toothed whale, and the Orca is a member of the Oceanic dolphin group. That is why they act so much like Dolphins, because they ARE Dolphins.

Yes, agreed. Beautiful video of Orcas enjoying themselves! See how close they are to the boat! Incredible dexterity and finesse, an evolutionary triumph and very deep intellect

Yeah, that only happens in captivity.

I was wondering about that myself.

Michael Price but isn't bent dorsals more prevelant in older males than the younger males or females? I've seen orcas in captivity and they didn't have bent dorsals

***** They're nearly universal in males in captivity -- not in wild orcas, male or females. The captive ones you saw without bent dorsals were likely females (though sometimes captive females get them as well). Occasionally wild orcas have bent dorsals, but it's not very common.

They are still in the Toothed Whale family. As are all members of the dolphin family. So they ARE whales, but not all whales are dolphins.

And their scientific name is "Killer Whale"

@@95DarkFire wrong the scientific name is Orcinus orca, hence orca.

no the name is whale killer not killer whale. It would be like calling a lion a zebra killer or killer zebra.

lol, so when the two of you go swimming with the Orca's be sure to film the event so we can all see just how playful they are. I seriously can't believe you posted that no person has ever been injured by an Orca in the wild smh so you know what every pod of 20 plus whales is up to. I think you just wanted to let people know their scientific name but Orca doesn't care who it eats man or seal

Arthur Echols You miss the point of my post but I'm guessing your just enjoying being cynical and I get it. Here's the point, they should not be caged, and people should not go swimming with them. But I encourage you to find a documented instance of an Orca harming a human in the wild.

I agree they shouldn't be caged I also think the term killer whale is accurate and might actually save the life of someone who may be ignorant to the threat after seeing free willy or some sea world show. I'm more concerned about the people who mite make a terrible mistake the whales can take care of themselves.

Actually theres a bunch of videos on people free diving with orcas and they never were touched or even bothered , they are peaceful creatures. Of course an animal , mammal , or even person can become dangerous once feeling threatened so they could attack but they are very intelligent and know we dont pose a threat to them .

been watching blackfish then?

poon tang Key words "in the wild". When they're imprisoned they get pyscho.

***** you obviously havent seen frozen planet then. A group of whales are filmed trying to wash a cameraman out of his boat using the same technique they use to wash the seals from the ice bergs to eat them. www.discovery.com/tv-shows/frozen-planet/videos/filming-a-killer-whale-hunt.htm

Using the same logic as you, I dismiss all of your theory as incorrect because it is not interesting. That makes a shit load of sense doesn't it.

You didn't quite get that last comment did ya? Let me rephrase - You were dismissing fact because it is 'not interesting' - I was merely pointing out to how ridiculous that it is by doing exactly the same... but you totally missed that. Another point - An Orca is not a whale. It is a dolphin. Also, at what point did I say I thought all whales 'follow boats trying to kill humans'. Have I just got into a youtube debate with an adolescent? Whoops.

awkward laughing

Only if you're not a seal or a penguin :D. But as I am none of these I also like them a lot. Would love to see them in real life some day

I'm going to be pedantic for a moment and say they're actually dolphins, not whales. They're referred to as whales because it doesn't have specific requirements, and is just generally referred to as a big sea animal. Scientifically/biologically speaking though, killer whales are part of the dolphin family, which probably helps explain their nicer aesthetic.

RichardMHoward is the channel

+TheTTVCrew Jesus Christ, are you 10?

AngryKitty Lol dude it was a joke. I was being more sarcastic than anything :P

+TheTTVCrew LOL ! XD

LMAO CTFU I was thinking the same thing😂😂😂😂😂

+TheTTVCrew It's because humpbacks and sperm whales are the most common. It's rare to see a pod of Orcas.

Oooo Hoe They know exactly where that engine is - no way they were going to collide.

I'm pretty sure they'd be ok.

Also pretty sure that they know to stay away from fast moving sharp things (unlike some people).

LOL. You're probably right

Yeah... They chased them for a whole hour, just to say get off our turf, I don't think so buddy. Killer whales are more emotionally complex than humans soo they wouldn't waste their time on a "turf war" also , we are animals too you know that and orcas are all about family and connection just like humans. We're not too different; remember.

Julia Walsh We are not different? You are a god damn genius.

+William Aldinger How do you know? Are you really a Killerwhale with excellent WIFI deep under the ocean?

+Artem Rayskyy I agree, I was about to comment similar things. Some of these "extreme" animal lovers (extremists) have lost touch with reality.......

>takes whale knowledge from a PETA propaganda film.

>chooses that rather than single misleading word

If you remembered something from middle school, then you would remember that orcas are Cetaceans, and not whales.

***** humm, whales are Cetaceans too. Maybe you wanted to say they are dolphins?

Yes, that's what I meant to say. And hold up- shouldn't you corrected me last month? It would have made more sense.

Yeah, many unnecresary comments, really sad that the internet can have kind of effect on people, Actually now that I think about I ahve experienced more of this comments when theres a lady in the video. Either thats just me or some people really need to grow up.

Everytime a fat person is on any boat, killer whales get confused thinking that someone has kidnaped one of their own. I dont blame the whales , but people who allowed fat people on their boats. There is a weight limit on everything!!!.

Says Anonymaeg the girl dressed like a fucking animal. bwahahahahaha.

Parker Andrews I feel there are too many mean and unnecresary comments here about the lady. calling her a whale and stuff like that. Also according to your comment its ound like youa are saying everybody does it, so its okay.

John Anstirman lmao thats why the whales were chasing them lol

They aren’t whales. They are actually big dolphins.
