Not all Orca subspecies hunt mammals, some ecotypes are strict fish eaters. I've read somewhere that there were a group of orcas working with a small group of humpbacks to catch fishes effectively (albeit very rare). It really depends on the tribe in question. Some are more aggressive than others, like how the majority of wolves run away from humans, while there are very rare ones who simply despise humans to the point to try to kill a human being if given the chance. Intelligent beings are always unpredictable anyway.

They're crazy and earned their name, "Killer," in every sense. They do make good grandmothers tho.

9:52 as far as orcas wearing the dead fish on their heads like that, I wonder if it’s to attract and hunt sea birds. Captive orcas have been known to spit out the fish they’re fed in order to lure in sea birds like gulls and herons.

Scientists do know why they live on past the ability to breed (menopause), it's because of culture and that female pods are matriarchal and their survival is often based on the passed on knowledge and culture. Their importance is to show guidance through experience and to instill lessons onto the next generation to be able to adapt mentally to changes. They're needed in order to teach the next generation to lead and survive.

Humpback whale: You saved me… why? Orca: Mmmmmm. Whale.

I love the grandma hat you put on the orca. 😂

“hey check out my hat! 🐠 “ Other orca’s: OMG LOL

In some places after an Elephant is killed by traffic the other elephants attack traffic for weeks. Maybe those orcas attacking boats are doing that too.

the intelligent orcas understood very well, that being entangled in ropes and fishing nets is dangerous and especially distressful for any dolphin/orca/whale so they decided for a relief operation, and being so emphatic, they chose to go hunting later. They didn't want to change their emotional mood from one minute to the next. if they had been very hungry, the outcome surely would have been different.

Her name is not J35, that is her scientific research classification. She is part of J-pod, one of three groups of the southern residents. And she was the 35th orca observed in this pod. Her name is Talequah.

“They’re not so nice…” Flying dolphin😂

The pilot whale baby isn't that mysterious. Orca's are mammals like us and are very intelligent. It probably tried to take care of the baby for the same reason's you'd try to take care of an abandoned baby orangutan. It's cute AF and you have empathy.

Quick tip on how to differentiate between male and female orcas: Male orcas have much larger dorsal and pectoral fins! (Very noticeably bigger)

Amazing animals with undoubtedly a strong sense of smart to them... once like 15 years ago I was fishing in northern Iceland (I'm a fisherman b.t.w) and a huge pod of like 50 individual came swimming by (biggest pod both me and my father have ever seen), few of em stopped by the boat to check us out and you could just see in there eyes when they stuck there heads above the sealine that they where thinking something and wondering what we where.

orcas adopt pilot whales is just like how humans adopt other land animals as pets when they were still juveniles

You know it's possible that they keep taking care of the male orca. The male Orca gets a lot bigger than the females. So keeping them around big and strong helps protect the pod.

Orcas are so fascinating! Our crew registered how killer whales are changing the whole wildlife in the Arctic. Orcas were rarely seen there. But, now, our team caught on camera these dolphins taking it over and hunting animals that were not even aware of their existence. It's very concerning when we think about the species that live there and how they are going to cope with this main predator.

Strange, orcas are usually afraid of pilot whale pods, especially around Iceland. They'll abandon an area if they hear a pilot whale in thay area.

9:29 Honestly I shouldn't even be surprised that orcas have trends too, but I am very.

This video was just orca facts, not "That's Why Young Orcas Hate Old Ones". Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the video! But young orcas, as mentioned in the video, are taken care of by their grandmothers. Grandmothers care and wayfind for the entire pod, as they are the wisest and are in charge of teaching the next "wayfinder-grandmother" how to get around.

I'm rather amazed we are keeping this close of track on one specific orca or one specific family in the ocean.

I learn that depending on the environment an Orca lives in, it's diet it's different, all Orcas are not the same, at least that's what I study, each pod eats and act different, that's why you see different behaviors

There's also footage of a lioness who adopted a baby antelope and cared for it until it was pretty much dead from starvation because it wasn't weaned off milk yet. She kept it away from her pride the whole time too but iirc a pride male eventually found her and twaxed the baby 🍖

As far as I can tell this video is simply rapid-fire "Orcas do weird things and we don't know why", but the facts mentioned have little to do with the title of the video... Did I miss something?

Orcas are just so fascinating

Elephants also live with a matriarch leading The pack and she is a grandmother, who lives past reproduktive age

My theory personally is that mother’s favor sons not because of biology or anything like that but maybe its just their culture or social norms in some orca pods. I think we are underestimating Orca’s alot more than we think. I like think of them in a human-ish social culture way, esp in asian culture the grandma is usually the head and helps to raise the family and help with social events and such.

thx for the advice! as a human male, i've always dreamed of being a female orca, but this video has changed my perspective of my respective choice, now i think i'll settle for being a doctor or somethiing

That is also a species that Orca fear the most. Don't pilot whales fight Orcas?

It's actually quite special that it adopted a pilot whale. It's known that Orca's actually try to stay away from pilot whales and pilot whales acting aggressively against orca pods. So Orca's are still apex predators, but they do have enemies

With all the orca-related videos from this channel, I've been patiently waiting for mention of J-35. 😊

Orcs are the original Game of Thrones characters 😂

My mom is currently in the living room watching several hours of your videos on the TV

Orcas has strict manners and pride about certain things. I've seen them eating deceased body that they didn't hunt, and they were eating it in eerie silence and even husshed their young daughter when eating. They take a pride of their hunting skills and anything they didn't earn, they take a pride. That's why they let the whale entangled go. They know they are superior and apex, so they do care about this reputation and rightfully take a pride on it, and act upon this.

Orcas having fashion week is insane😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍

This world lmao. Gen z "tide pod challenge" Orca teens " hold my beer"

Great video!

Your intro never gets old man...

Well, to be perfectly honest in my humble opinion without being sentimental, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in distinct perspective and without condemning anyone's view and by considering each and everyone's valid opinion I honestly believe that I vividly don't have anything to say. In fact, i forgot what i am about to say. Much obliged. Yours truly.

Orcas my favorite animal

Orcas hunting human boats for sport is probably the funniest irony.

I feel that the orca took in the pilot in grief and learned to love the spices unintentionally and when it seen what it already knoww as a loved one/baby if it’s own care. It new to mother the baby yes even if they weren’t hers. It’s what she knew best and she didn’t mean any harm. Then again we’re talking about whales and more specifically killer whales so you take what you want out of that

Food etiquette of the Orcas!🤣🤣

humans are funny i was watching avatar 2 with some friends and the sea creatures my friend was like imagine if we had animals like that had to explain to him we do . orcas and whales many types with their dead ones is where the idea for them creatures came from lol

6:25 love the use of minecraft enchanting letters.

I tried to find the original videos of the killer whale carrying her baby and also the video of her setting it down, but wasn't able to find either anywhere. If anyone has a link, I'd appreciate it (and some other people might too). I like to study animal behavior and body language and I think those might be interesting videos. Have never noticed orca's having "body language before"... but I've heard from trainers that say they do.

Finally subscribed after so long lol

Baby Orca Doo doo doo doo doo doo Baby Orca Doo doo doo doo doo doo *Baby Orca*

Went to Anacortes last summer and saw roughly the whole resident pod at Friday harbor! Calf included!

Male Orcas: Momma's boys Port and Starboard without a momma to reprimand them goes on a killing spree

Interesting ! thank you

My absolute favorite animal!! So fascinating. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤘🏽🌺

Young orcas needs to respect their elders

WATOP ты лучший. 👏👏👏

Orcas are most interesting creatures of sea i believe they amaze in all sense

lol the fish hat thing is funny

You never explained why Orcas hate the newborn female so much.

Loved how you’ve ended the episode

Very interesting event and facts

Among humans, the presence of the maternal grandmother improved the infant survival rate. The presence of the paternal grandmother had the same effect as no grandmother in the infant's life. It's probably the same effect in orcas.

Orcas speaking in standard galactic alphabet... yeah that actually makes sense. South park was onto something...

They're going after boats now. Love to see it. Liberation!!!

I Come from WATOP Español... It's wear to listen this voice 😂 i mean, i really Think was a Spanish Channel jaja Greetings From México.

Orca: lets get you well fed, you will be a great delicacy

Orcas are so intelligent. We need to learn about them more, I feel like they’re super super intelligent, and they’re waiting for us to figure it out….

TY 📚🤔📚

hiLLarious! the hat study killed me there!

So beautiful ❤️ i am glad 😂

10:59 Oh no... It's a crappy social media challenge among them! 😭

I live in WA state and the Southern Resident Orcas (J, K, and L pods) are almost functionally extinct 😩 While there's over 300 Northern Residents off Canada's coast, there's only 73 left in the Southern Puget Sound population and they're losing on all fronts... The females aren't successfully reproducing, they face *major* consequences from boat traffic (both noise & water pollution, plus boat strikes), and we have over-fished the salmon that make up 90%+ of their diet 😡 It's sad that if we can't figure out how to fix this, then Orcas will probably be gone from WA's waters in my lifetime 😢

Orca: how else would you wear a salmon? 🤨

I'll always say it , there are some animals out there that are way more intelligent than we think

Amazing animals

How do i see 3 different titles for the same video?

What can you say about orcas? Nothing unless they chase you while you are in the water! LOL

Yaa

If Orcas knew what we do and are still doing to them I would be terrified to go into the water, if they knew what revenge was we humans could not stand a chance! the Ocean belongs to them and we need the ocean to live.....

Steve your research is allsom...

I used to think the white spot on their head were its eyes-

9:50 to bring the kill back to their kin. As you've already previously mentioned 😂😂😂???

The way they waved the seal off the iceberg 👀 they are 🦈🐊🐳🦖

12:42 I'm glad this sad story had a happy ending

The orcas are beginning to farm 😂

Very interesting.

I'm early today 😅 cuz I got no work today

Hey Watop wild horses where they at and where they go?

4:59 Yup 😁

In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). At least 174 orcas have died in captivity,

J35 what a creative name.

Shout out my homie J35 😊

why does an orca look like a big penguin

I wonder if those young orcas have a phrase for "boat tipping."

In the Caribbean they kill leather-backs, they specialize in it. Apparently there are different morphs/phenotypes within the species.

It’s fashion statement

The simple answer is these whales. I mean dolphins are very complex and are capable of showing compassion and understanding when it comes to other mammals and creatures. It truly understands that it's tied in the universe all together❤

i think it is possible for creatures to be both violent and emphatic. I mean, my own aunt smacks my cousin daily and still she keeps her cats spoiled

This explains why pilot whale pods attack and chase away orca pods.

it was a snack that swam with you for me
