Icelandic killer whales, similar to the Southern Residents in the Pacific Northwest, suffered greatly due to the captive industry. They were taken from Iceland and sold to marine parks in the U.S. Currently, there are two Icelandic killer whales that were captured from the wild and are still alive in the U.S. - Katina, the matriarch of Seaworld Orlando, and Ulises, who resides in Seaworld San Diego and holds the title of the oldest male killer whale in captivity.

I would love an episode focusing on T046B Raksha and her daughters.

Love your podcasts! We will be on the boat 5/8 - hope to see you!

I hope you consider inviting Jared Towers to share the captivating tale of the ongoing saga of T109A3A Brave Little Hunter.

Why didn't the beaked whale dive?

R.I.P Beaked Whale :(((

Great but you’re legally supposed to turn off your motor to prevent injury to the orca.

Corky took care of lots of whales whom mothers have passed on she raised them she's like a Godmother

I Really Love Corky she's the Sweetest Killer Whale ever and she gets bullied i don't like that

So, in Blackfish, they talked about a captive orca named Corky whom, back in the 80's/90's (I can't remember the year) was rammed by two other female orcas and she was rammed so hard, it broke her jaw and severed an artery in her head and she bled out and died. I don't think this is that same Corky that they're talking about, but it is confusing.

folks need to show more caution letting orcas get close to their boats especially the rudder end. i guess orcas have been snapping off entire rudders & some times breakingna hole in the boat causing them to sink. fortunately theres been no attacks on humans during these sinking boats or in the wild.

The rarity of the beaked whales makes a hunt like this especially sad to watch, once Orcas target you, you're pretty much done

Can a two-year-old killer whale survive on its own?

You started the episode with a bang. I love humpback whales. ❤

Yahoo. really unreal ~ have a nice day. 🤚

So Beautiful💖

Corky is the sweetest and most patient orca in captivity imo. I've only read two incidents where she hurt a trainer but by accident, not intentional or severely. Such a gorgeous girl

Do the beaked whales ever escape? I know they can dive deeper than the Orcas but it seems like they are forced to stay on the surface because they need to re-oxygenate their blood? That's when the Orcas get them yes?

💕Wow🧡💜💜🧡💜💜💜

I adore the A23s. Ripple, Fife, Midsummer, Fern, Eliot, and Ne'nakw hold a special place in my heart. Corky should be with them. 😔

It´s so fascinanting how orcas hunt.... It's not just about killing and eating. There's something else to it, for sure.

Watching this whilst thinking also about how ancient seafarers would see these pods and races with their prey. Not being able to explain what they have seen for the very first time. To see the waves and the surfacing and then the brief view of the beaked whale with a large spike at the end of its face, it’s surreal. To know now as modern history has studied and we can explain the view, but to be in absolute fear of the deep oceans. It’s the underworld and it chills me to the bone. No sense of direction or light. The video was beautiful but the haunting under tones is inescapable.

Corky is a Northern Resident from the A5 pod, A23 matriline. She has been in captivity since 1969. She has family in the wild - sister Ripple, brother Fife, niece Midsummer, great-nephews Fern and Ne'nakw, and great-niece Eliot. Corky lives in Seaworld San Diego.

I've never heard that kind of whale (beaked whale) before °○)))

Galiano ❤

Note the breathing cycles between the Orca and the Beaked whale, one whole second longer breaths for the Orca, hence their ability to chase their prey to exhaustion. Their large round pectoral fins allow the effortless higher lifts out of the water for more endurance enabling oxygen uptake. 🐬

I love orca

What happened to the beaked whale?

That pic 😮

Eastern tropical pacific orca

Remember to record the audio next time 😊

Just like wolves on an elk. Great footage.

The clarity of the video was excellent. Now if only there was audio to accompany it. Dead Air sucks.

For Orcas, if it swims, it's on the menu!

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting.

I love your podcast. ❤

Beautiful killers.

What a great way to start my Monday! Thank you!

You got some steady hands Jeff
