Drone film of an orca pod (27's) training the calf to hunt a seal which they have surrounded, (The seal is NOT killed in this video) but likely it was soon after

It's called teaching the young to hunt down their meals

My cats do the same thing when they catch a mouse.

Is there any sound, it’s hard to watch a quiet screen, maybe just my device, but can’t watch in silence,

Sorry, no sound with this film, i did overlay some music on one but prefer to just leave it as it is.

It’s curious to see indeed they don’t start eating although it’s obvious the seal it’s pretty done. So we could assume that either they’re are teaching the younger or they’re playing which is also a learning process. Still amazing creatures. I just can’t figure why they don’t attack humans in the wild. Like, they seem so confident on the hunts, and sometimes they will literally smack other animals for “fun”. But when they encounter (humans on the wild) they never do any of that. Any theories besides “they get curious”? Because I don’t think it’s just that. They’re too apex for the that reason being limitation of not wanting to engage us in an harmful way… (they could harm us…out of curiosity x) ) Would like to hear some opinions on that cause can’t find much about out it :(

So much we don't know about these amazing animals, like why they are unlikely to attack humans in the water, Personably i would rather be out of the water than in if they were around

Orcas are picky eaters and learn from family what is good food. * Humans are not FAT enough to make it worth their while to hunt them and the interactions are so rare that humans were never a reliable source of food anyway, so the knowledge to eat them was never passed on a. A seal or hering has a lot of fat and they exist in large numbers in some place. Some Orca pods hunt other whales (or dolphins). Which also have some fat as insulation. Some pods of Orcas have learned how to kill Big Whites and they were observed how they ate the liver of the shark they had made short work of - but left everything else behind and swam on. So that liver might be a delicacy. In California researchers found that Big Whites leave an area when a pod of Orcas only came through - sometimes for as long as one year. (Some) Orcas seem to love the taste of squid, a pod that is living off the coast of New Zealand (year round) that are specialized in hunting those squids, and those squids are not easy to hunt - the researcher said she thinks to them it might be like chocolat for us because they go through a lot of trouble to get them. Usually the young learn from the experienced pod members what is suited for food and how to hunt it, they do not easily adapt to other food even if they are starving, and in the wild do not even try (normally - I guess there are "inventions" from time to time that are passed on through the generations if they are nutritious or taste good). For instance there are Orcas that swim in the regions of Norway in winter to feast on the fattened up hering - but there they leave the seals alone. These Orcas may never eat seals - or it is not worth their time _at this time and place_, with the abundance of fat fish, that they can herd in and eat in a frenzy. There are wandering and stationary pods of Orcas, the nomads may have a more varied diet (and range of acceptable food) as the travel the seas. * In the waterparks they had real trouble to feed Orcas when they started to capture them to show them in waterparks (I think that started in the 1950s or 1960s, and they had zero experience how to keep the animals). The stressed out animals refused food in the first weeks and did not accept "dead meat". I think the parks got fish (frozen) and thawed them and that finally did the trick.

@@franziskani informative response, thank you. There have been examples of Orcas ramming small boats off Galicia in recent times. I believe these were juvenile males and it might have been an example of experimental play of the sort that could lead to adoption of new food sources. Obviously this wasn't the outcome in this case, but it was still an example of behaviour threatening to humans.

You need to view on a decent size screen to see the seal, laptop size or bigger.
