I see these thing coordinate and attack seals on ice and are now attacking boats, no way am I swimming along side one. They might just decide that this could be food.

I wonder how they know not to attack humans. I’m not talking about because we’re not palatable & there’s no fat. But the emotional aspect of it. How would they know if they didn’t try to bite? Do they just assess us physically or do they have ESP?

@@livefully7568 lol i got that vibe from her too

Brilliant! Thanks for making me laugh today!!

i bet, that if they had the mind for culture & language, they wouldnt be this friendly to humans!, but they are animals afterall....

@nevy channel yes, animals belong in their natural habitat. some animals can tolerate humans better, but to lock up these creatures is just plain stupid, same with birds and other big animals. i can understand zoos trying to educate the public about animals can help, but only if the treatment of the animals is very good and they have a good life. unfortunately there is not enough laws protecting animals from human stupidity / abuse.

OMG, Is that even still legal?? Thought they couldn't do that anymore? They can only keep the ones born in captivity. We _need_ to pay attention to our _own_ country first. BEFORE we go spouting off about others. If the torture is _still_ legal here, what gives us the right to complain about _anything_ happening in others countries?? 🤔IE: Rainforests, burning fossil fuels, killing the endangered, poisoned beaches & so on...

@nevy channel The attacks in captivity often are actually violent either. If an Orcs wanted to, it could pulverize human bone to a jelly. The couple of people who have died from Orcas in captivity often die with just some minor lacerations, a few broken bones. The main cause of death though is drowning. Which indicates the Orcas were frightened or anxious and were dragging the trainer down into the water (Maybe to protect them, which is an instinct when they feel threatened). If the Orca was actually trying to kill a human, we'd most likely literally see the organs squeezed out (Which is what they do to seals, which are far bigger and stronger than humans). But we don't, as said, it almost looks like they were just frightened and running away with what they viewed as a vulnerable member of their pod--and unfortunately humans are extremely fragile comparatively.

susan brown There are no fatal attacks on humans by Orcas ever done in the wild, but there has been one recorded bite.

@@whengrapespop5728 Makes ya wonder what that person did to get bitten. Lol

Actually Sharks run away from Orcas (not surprising as some of them Eat them - Great Whites have virtually been wiped out off South Africa).

They're probably friends, if he swims there a lot.

It is too bad the drone was flying way too high to capture this really well.

New Zealand Orca tend to interact with humans than any other ecotype. Norway's Orca can be curious somedays, and distant other days. New Zealand Orca do push the limits of their curiosity. Not in an aggressive way, but swimming with humans within their safe boundaries.

Looked like they were practicing tactics to hunt when one of the orcas intercepted the swimmer up front.

The lady swimming is well known for her lifelong studies and research on Orca. Several other videos on YT about her, and the encounter that day. Wonderful experience, and footage!

I would think that too until they released one that had been in captivity in sea world and it showed signs of depression and eventually died. Maybe since they stick to family groups they actually have feelings and developed a bond with the humans and felt rejected when set free? You could make the argument that if they were never in captivity they wouldn’t have had that bond to begin with which would be true, but since they can’t talk, well at least not in a way we understand, we don’t know if they actually preferred their captivity where they were always safe and well fed? We assume they would prefer freedom, but maybe not?

I 100% agree on this!

@@mikeheimer537 No, not really. Orcas and all dolphins can repeat words and scientists have started a recent study to talk with cetaceans. But even though we can't literally talk to them at the moment, cetaceans show us perfectly well that they are unhappy in captivity thanks to the language of depression. Dolphins that commit suicide, or try to do so without succeeding, cetaceans that self-mutilate, others that have fun regurgitating and reingesting their frozen dead fish or eat sand out of boredom, repeated attacks between individuals of the same species because of a lack of space to separate themselves during arguments. We can also talk about natural needs. Hunting, for example, is considered a game for most odontocetes. However, captive cetaceans are deprived of this game, which is more than important to create links between different individuals. Also, the gigantic lack of space. In the wild, an orca would travel 250 kilometers per day, while a bottlenose dolphin would travel 100 kilometers per day. Both species are enclosed in 0.03℅ of the distance they would normally travel in the wild. Worse still, the spectators are sheltered from the sun but not the cetaceans, which have a much more fragile skin, the dolphins have no access to shade and the water is too shallow to shelter from the sun. All this so that the spectators can see the animals well Sensory deprivation is also one of the most recurrent problems in captivity. Dolphins have nothing to explore in their empty environment and even if they did have something to explore the tanks are so small that the sounds used for echolocation would bounce back so loudly that they would hurt the cetaceans, which is really horrible for these inquisitive animals. Also, dolphins are extremely fast, orcas, for example, can swim at a speed of up to 80Km/h, so when a cetacean tries to accelerate even a little bit, it is directly blocked by a wall. Knowing that speed is one of the favorite games of dolphins and that it also serves to bond between individuals, this is a huge loss for cetaceans. To be a little less general, there are also heartbreaking stories such as those of Gudrun, Splash, Tokitae or Inouk, which I invite you to read. If you want me to tell stories, don't hesitate, and don't forget that behind each story is or was a life. I also have a lot of true evidence of the suffering of captive cetaceans to give. Or if you want any other information, ask me and I will answer you if I know. I always answer no matter how long it takes me to answer, no matter who asks in this comment section, I will answer. Now I have things to do, have a nice day and don't buy a ticket! Also, cetaceans can be rehabilitated. We have proof of that with Keiko or the dolphins that were released by Richard O'Barry. Keiko was a clear success, he lived 7 years free, met other killer whales and recovered from his illness while during that time 22 killer whales died in captivity and he would undoubtedly have been the first to see his condition before his rehabilitation. We also have the story of Stumpy which gives hope because while he is disabled, 5 different orca pods not speaking the same language saved Stumpy. We can imagine that wild orcas teach former captives how to have a life, they are largely social enough for that knowing that they even have an area in the brain reserved for socialization. And if not, the sanctuaries already in existence and those to be built in the future will form a perfect alternative where cetaceans that can be rehabilitated will train and those who cannot will have a well-deserved retirement. In short, young and fit cetaceans can perfectly be rehabilitated and those who cannot have other much better alternatives than staying in the chlorinated pools of dolphinariums where they crumble under the sun, are fed with frozen fish and endure the cries of the spectators and loud music by making often painful shows

There has never been a case of an Orca attacking a human in the wild. Sea World is a different story as the animals are locked up in a confining space which is hugely distressful to them.

@Mark Lfc I'll agree with that

@Mark Lfc Orcas are very careful about picking their food, there is no such thing as ¨"feeding time" . Orcas hunt and they hunt in a groupe, highly coordinated. Their natural diet consist of seals and blue whales. They dont eat humas, ever! They have natural bias to our species for unknown reasons.

@@Sadon06 Thanks for that, fills in a bit more to the whole story. Truth be known I do not know, I think they were curious about this creature (Human) and they perhaps also wanted to say Hello. They knew she was no threat to them and just politely said hello. John, Australia.

Useless. This dumbass was devored by two angry and hungry orcas two days after.

@paul moloney thanks bud. I actually did see the interview afterwards. Amazing woman.

Perhaps too naive to panic.

here is the interview: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNeTgsScvtnPgWg.html she is like 55 and went back in the water and swam with them again :-)

Tv interview with woman >60 She wasn't afraid at all. If anything, was buzzing on the whole thing while swimming. She said at one stage they were so close, literally, looking at each other eye to eye. She commented on how big the Orcas eye was lol. She was lovely.

I would have crapped my wetsuit and died 😂😂😂🇨🇦
