Pods of killer whales inhabit the waters of every major ocean on Earth. Each family is able to survive thanks mainly to one member, its most knowledgeable hunter: the grandmother. These matriarchs can live 80 years or more and their expertise can mean the difference between life and death for their families. Darren Croft details the lives of killer whales and the dangers facing their survival.
Lesson by Darren Croft, directed by Boniato Studio.

They go through *menopause* !?!? The more I learn about killer whales, sea world, our part in all of it, and documentaries, the more and more I humanize these creatures. They mourn their dead, communicate, love their families, and their babies are babies through and through wanting their mama, crying for them, and separation *destroys* mothers. They become lifeless, because the love of their life is taken away....gosh. How can anyone look at these beings and not feel like they are SO close to us? How can anyone not empathize with their feelings? Agh.

I'm so glad someone made an animation about killer whales and mentioned the Center for Whale Research. I've been donating to them for years and got to see their work in person on the San Juan islands months ago. Stop eating wild caught salmon, people! We don't need it, they do.
@critterfreek83 5 жыл бұрын
People who live along the streams, rivers, and other waterways that flow into the Columbia river and other rivers that flow into the coastal habitat for the S residents should also take steps to plant or allow bands of natural vegetation called buffer strips to grow along the edges of the water. These buffer strips filter out and stop pollution from getting washed into the streams, and also provide shady areas, making the water cleaner and colder and safer for spawning/young salmon, increasing their populations. And they keep that much less pollution from entering orca habitats too.

Killer whales are among the very few non-human animals that have been described as possessing a “culture”; the dialects and calls mentioned here are indeed unique to specific groups, different populations around the world have developed innovative and vastly different hunting techniques depending on their type of prey, and both dialects and hunting strategies are passed on In detail from one generation to the next.

Good news! This year in 2018 the salmon population was large enough that the Department of fisheries actually allowed commercial and recreational fishing of salmon again (for a limited time). They had heavily restricted it for at least 4 years prior to this. The fact that they opened it up to recreational fishing means that the population this year was quite impressive. Of course it's important to continue fighting for our salmon populations, but just thought I'd share some good news to offset the doom and gloom.

The Australian aborigines aren’t less intelligent. Something that people often don’t realize is that less access to a base of knowledge and tech is not less intelligence. For example, many ancient people (like the Egyptians) were able to construct incredible feats of architecture despite limited technology because of excellent planning and management. They had the same cognitive ability as us, just not the same resources. And hunter gatherers that didn’t produce great architecture weren’t less intelligent; they just lacked the main resource (manpower) and motive (a stable food source in one location) to really accomplish it. Our intelligent brains were what allowed us to spread out from Africa to every other continent except Antarctica long before we invented agriculture. And those brains are also what allowed us to independently invent agriculture in different environment. We didn’t become smart because of success, we found success because we were smart.

I had the privilege of watching these magnificent beasts ride the wake of the ship I was on when I went to Alaska back in ‘09. It’s amazing. These whales are close to the size of a bus and yet they just GLIDE through the water. When the captain lowered the microphone into the water, the sounds they made were almost like music. And yet, at sea world, they essentially lock them in a kiddie pool. To my knowledge, orca attacks on humans in the wild are rare. Like, more rare than shark attacks. Yet at sea world, it seems like every few years one of these whales kills a trainer. It’s a shame. Animals such as this cannot be penned like a tiger at the local zoo. They need to swim, to hunt, travel miles on end to find dinner.

And Seaworld tells Orcas live up to only 30-35 years when they could really live long up to 80 years in wild.

It's not just salmon, it's chinook salmon. Southern resident orcas only eat chinook salmon, despite also living alonside other populations of salmon.
@kyleenglot9184 4 жыл бұрын
About 70-80% of their diet is Chinook. However they have been known to supplement with Sockeye and Chum if they are having a hard time finding Chinook. They may also eat halibut and rock fish as well. Again that's more out of desperation... The less salmon that return to the coast the less we will see the southern residents in the Salish Sea region :(... It's weird though because the Northern Residents that range from north Vancouver Island and up to Alaska are doing somewhat better than the Southern resident orcas. They say there's more salmon further north for the northern residents to feed on, also those waters aren't as busy with ships and whale watching boats all summer long. The northern residents currently sit at over 200 compared to the 72 southern residents... Maybe the southern residents will have better luck if they move further north to feed until things change and Chinook salmon stocks rebound in the southern waters.

Im amazed that they stay with there mothers familt there whole life. They somehow know not to mate with family. If we know they calf every 6 yrs and calves are endangered at not making it through the first yr of life then why are we not putting pressure on fisheries to sustain salmon for these mammals.

You should probably clarify that Orcas aren't whales. It's particularly misleading when you say 'other whales' (showing a narwhal and a beluga(?) at 2:05) talking about mammalian menopause.. Sorry, Orcas are too awesome for me to let this slide!

@Greg Fakerson I don't recall making another comment! Anyway, I both agree and disagree with parts of your reply. I agree: 'Whale' isn't an official taxon. Orcas do fall under the broader category of 'toothed whales' However, we can then go on to say dolphins and porpoises are also 'whales' as they too fall under the toothed whale category. That category is Delphinoidea. And unlike what you've said, this is a taxonomic subset to Cetacea. Delphinoidea has the sub family Delphinidae, which consists of dolphins, porpoises and orcas. The dolphin family. Even though they are under the broader category of 'toothed whales', we don't normally refer to other species of dolphins as 'whales' do we? Technically though, you are right. I cannot say Orcas aren't whales just as I cannot say dolphins aren't whales. But just as we don't refer to various species of dolphins and porpoises as 'whales' I felt emphasis should be made that orcas fall under the dolphin sub family rather than just under the broader 'toothed whale' category.
@eduardofreitas8336 5 жыл бұрын
They are cetaceans, wich makes them whales. And yes they are dolphins, wich are all toothed whales. It depends on how you define whales but in biology we tend to call every cetacean whale.
