Filmed on 4 December at Hahei Beach on the Coromandel peninsular, New Zealand. I was watching a pod of orcas swimming up the beach, I saw a swimmer swimming along shore directly towards them, at this point I asked my partner to get my mobile phone as I wasn’t sure what would happen and I may have to call for help. The orcas circled her and she got quite the fright. She then got out the water as she was only 20m from shore. Some on lookers chatted to her about the experience and then to my surprise she got back into the water and swam back towards the pod, to I assume continue her training swim. I then launched the drone and filmed from a fair distance away making sure not to disturb the pod of orcas. What I witnessed was truly amazing.

Orcas live in tight-knit families. In most cases, both males and females stay in their natal pod throughout their entire lives (this is especially true for Southern and Northern Residents). Orcas are incredibly intelligent and social. Their limbic system (the part of the brain that processes emotion) is incredibly developed and complex. Each pod uses a distinctive dialect to communicate. They're the only species, besides humans, pilot whales, beluga whales and narwhals, that go through menopause.

@ethanl5527 2 жыл бұрын

A thing to note is that orcas have generational knowledge. In other words, most orcas only eat what their mother or grandmother has taught them to hunt. There are communities of orcas that scientists have noted that eat majority stingrays, seals, or fish, even ignoring easier catches for these specific prey. In fact, a group of orcas have been known to ignore chinook salmon that swim past them, preferring to wait for fattier ones that arrive later. For this reason, there have been no orca attacks on humans in the wild, and this behavior has been known for centuries. The Tlingit people of the Pacific Northwest actually have a myth that explains why orcas never attack humans. There are people that will make the argument that it's possible that orcas might mistake humans for seals. Yes, there are videos of orcas out there who have seemingly tried to attack humans, but they all aborted their hunt after getting close enough to realize that it's not a seal. Orcas aren't sharks. They're far more intelligent. They know you're not a seal.

@conats 2 жыл бұрын

“That big male…” If you’re talking about the adult orca, that is a female. You can tell by the curve in her dorsal fin when she’s on her side. It’s hard to tell if the calves are boys or girls but I think the bigger one at least is female. Orca pods are very, very trusting among their members and mother orcas are perfectly happy allowing older females (usually the matriarch, or the oldest female of the pod) to take their babies to teach them different lessons-namely what and how to hunt, what to avoid, etc. I suspect that that’s possibly what we see here, a more experienced female taking two of the kids out to teach them the ways of the orca. Definitely not a threat to the swimmer. If the adult orca wanted them dead, she could’ve done so in seconds. It’s cute how the female is checking out the human while the two kids play with something as they swim along. It’s so adorable how close they are.

Jack yes I feel the same....it’s the Curious George in us and animals that makes exploring so much fun. Plus I believe Orcas in captivity build up an anger or hatred for humans for keeping them in prison like conditions or the trauma of capture..they never forget that and that’s why Orcas DO NOT BELONG IN CAPTIVITY PERIOD! These Orcas had no reason to believe the swimmer was a threat to them therefore the Curious gear kicks in.

At 1:30 with her sudden move/turn I think she wanted to make the human get pulled to the shore by the wave, like she tried to help him/her get out of water where is dangerous, but when she saw that the human doesnt want the help she just took off.

Seen comments which mostly are praising "kind" and gentle to a human species orcas. Actually I love them too( i mean orcas, not humans) But I have a different opinion about this episode with the swimmer and orcas. Looks like mom teaches her breed to hunt. Usually they hunt on seals in shore areas. They make quite risky leaps to catch the prey on a very shallow depths. Looks like mom orca wants the swimmer to get back to the shore where she could show her breed the trick. Fortunately, for the swimmer she didn't panic and didn't try to get out of water. Otherwise she could possibly get victimized. At least, it my vision of the situation after watching the video for several times..

If the swimmer had panicked and acted like prey the encounter may not have gone so well.

I would have looked like a skipping stone for swimming so fast back to the shore.

In NZ we have a lot of islands, so most of us have to swim to work every day. The orcas love trying to make us late for work and they mock us constantly so the best thing to do is ignore their mischief and just keep swimming like my countryman did here. It is estimated that orca antics lower the GDP of NZ by 15%.

That is so funny! I can understand, in Texas we all ride horses to work and occasionally armadillos and coyotes make us late to work. Damn horses spook easily.

Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering why the swimmer wasn't scared or stopping.

I've heard that sometimes, in play, they'll grab a person by the arm and take them deep down into the ocean where they may drown. I don't know if it's true or not.

@@jimzorn3853 They've been known to do that in captivity but in the wild it's extremely, emphasis on extremely, rare. They would probably only kill someone if provoked which usually people in the water with them know not to provoke them but orcas in the wild won't hurt you unless you hurt them which is fair
