Clueless people who love animals: “animals never fight, they only understand love, not war” Every animal: “hey wanna see me eat the face off this other animal?!”
Not true. Herbivores are animals, and they do not eat meat, so your comment "Every animal" is wrong. Herbivores only eat plants, they do not and will not "eat the face off" other animals.
The craziest thing about the beginning isn't that they ate its tongue, but that they invited their extended family to the dinner. I mean 50 orcas, goddamn.
Orcas are like the velociraptors of the sea. They're relentless and are prone to teamwork and high levels of communication. They're also highly intelligent and very resourceful.
I doubt they think it, it's certainly not true. I'm unconvinced they haven't taken us in the wild, it's not like a shark where if they choose to attack they may not finish. That just seems like anthropomorphism, they are apex predators and likely just recognize we are the equivalent of a ketchup packet as far as satiety and nutrition
Apparently Orca pods develop very particular tastes and can be very picky with what they eat, and go to great lengths to hunt their favored prey. An orca pod will often ignore easy prey if it isn't what they prefer. Presumably since orcas would only rarely get an opportunity to eat a human, they never develop a taste for them to begin with.
@@BretekV they are picky, is taste even something they'd consider? They target the liver of great whites, leaving every other bit of tissue behind because of the nutrient dense nature of that organ.
Like all w h ale and Dolphins they have a form off echo location. Meaning they can see right through you and see that you not nearly have enough blubber to be considered good for eating.
Have you ever seen how orcas will work together to create waves to knock seals off the safety of ice. They line up and charge the ice then at last min dip down and shoot their tails up making a waves that will wash a seal off the ice.
Holy crap that footage of the Orcas swimming under the ice with the seal on to break the ice up. Thats just wow, I had to rewatch it, crazy smart creatures they are.
Something I think he forgot to hit on was the difference between transient and resident pods of Orcas. Where as the transients travel the worlds oceans and feed on other mammals such as whales, dolphins, any and all variety of seals and penguins, the resident pods tend to stay in one location and eat nothing but fish. So it's only a fraction of the worlds Orca population that is involved here suggesting that with a smaller number of Orcas the behavior changes would be even more radical.
These animals are so smart ... it's just street, but in the ocean. Humpbacks are peaceful singers and they just take out the bad guys if they can. At least that is how I see it. Luv them both and pray to understand more about them in the heavens.
Native Americans called Orcas as "wolves of the sea" because of their unique social and hunting habits. They travel in pods that range anywhere from 5 to 60 whales. Occasionally, lone orcas/lone sea wolf will hunt and travel alone, but this is rare.
one on one , a great white could kill an orca. Great whites teeth are particularly sharp and nasty. However, orcas run in packs sharks do not, it's like angry wolves nipped at your heels from every direction and all at once. Best just to get the hell out of there than to stay and fight such a lopsided battle. Sperm whales like the one is Moby Dick can also kill orcas. kodiak grizzlies and polar bears could kill an orca, they can dig in with their claws and wrestle because like orcas, bears have 4 very long limbs. Orcas could try cornering a grizzly, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be the first one to die as a cornered animal is the most dangerous kind. Also, I think a pride of lions could take on a group of orcas, and one on one,a Tiger or Liger is gonna have a good shot at it, as their strength and lethality is unmatched in the animal kingdom. they don't mind water, they could try to drag a big cat underwater to drown it, however as said earlier, I would not want to be the first one to try to pull this off and get maimed or killed. Also nile crododiles sometimes live so long they can get to be so large that nothing but a shallow water attack from elephants or a big pride of lions beat them. also I think crocodiles have better underwater vision than land predators. don't screw with crocodiles they swim fast like a torpedo underwater and can live in freshwater or salt water shaboing!?! :O :O :O
Yes, they are actually working with AI’s right now to decipher/translate Sperm whale noises. But scientists have the most recorded sounds from Orcas :)
yeah...to think we are gonna really make something similar to natures 22,000 lbs killer whale that's been in evolution for millions of years was a stupid idea. just stick to the fencing that we know, maybe let a few trained guard dogs run rampant along the pier so they can scare off the sealions.
my sensitive ass was ready to bawl when you said humpback whale helped protect others especially the calf of grey whale story. i love whale so much my fav necklace i have was of whale's tail
Orcas should really be called "Sea Lions." The most amazing thing about this story is that there were 50 Orcas in 1 location... that's the most I've ever heard of in one place.
I feel obligated to make one correction, here: Blue whales don't have dorsal fins, in the typical way one would think of a dorsal fin to be. It hadn't been bitten off. What we are seeing is their natural shape: Just a small ridge along the back, which is only slightly remnant of a dorsal fin in the traditional sense! The orcas are still incredibly powerful though, and I don't doubt the extent of the damage they inflicted, overall!
It's impossible for the whales to get too close to the blue whale like that because the blue whale can release a sound of something something decimals hurting the killer whale if it gets too close to it so I doubt they get close to a full grown blue whale
When Orca's hunt in a pack it's commonly referred to as a Wolf Pack because they hunt the same way as the actual land based Wolves in cooperation and strategy with each other
You'll still end up with "Orca" and "Whale" after some time. They're not evolving, even though they might have characteristics in their DNA that become dominant according to their environment; as is prudent of all the unused genetic material to swap out what's needed. - Evolution doesn't work and has been disproven time and time again.
Two whales see a fishing boat, one says “hey, isnt that the boat that killed your Ma?” The other says “ya… we should get revenge! Lets take a deep breathe, swim below them and blow out all the air. That’ll capsize them, and we just go and eat them all!” The first whale says, “I dunno, I dont mind all the blowing, but I aint swallowing no seamen!”

A few years ago a video captured a few orcas going after a great white shark. It was the first time that there was proof of how the orcas killed great whites. I was in awe when it showed the orcas turning the shark onto it's back causing it to go catatonic, or whatever, and then the orcas drowned the shark and ate its liver first. Orcas are extremely impressive animals.
If memory serves they're the only pod that do it as they've learnt it, and it caused all the sharks in the area to dissappear for years. That's how they found the smell of dead shark is extremely potent to other sharks, great documentary about it! But usually they just ignore each other because the risk vs reward is too high for them to engage one another, that pod aside
@@joshyc2006 I'm sure you're right. That is spectacular footage. I think I'm going to have to look it up later when I get the chance. I hope you have a wonderful day/night!
Sharks are very acidic, they are supposed to taste like rotten piss when not prepared. That's why Orcas only eat the liver. Meat eating humans eat Liver too, Foie de Grasse was a delicacy before it became illegal.
@@CordeliaWagner Ya, I don't think I would have eaten goose liver. Just like I won't eat veal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a vegetarian. I'm just not interested in some meat items.
There was an incident near the Farallon Islands some years back that may be what you're referring to. The way I recall the story, a great white was attempting to take a seal away from the orca which had killed it. The orca rammed the shark, stunning it, then flipped it on it's back until the shark suffocated/drowned. (Some species of sharks cannot pump water through their gills, and need to keep swimming.) The orca then ripped the shark open and ate it's liver. There's also a pod of orcas that showed up off the coast of South Africa in the early 2000s. It's the area where the "Air Jaws" shows were filmed. The sharks left the area and moved to a location quite a distance away after at least 5 great white bodies washed up on shore with their livers missing. The orca pod was easily identifiable as two of the males had collapsed dorsal fins, and had been nicknamed "Port" and "Starboard" for the side the fin ended up. There are also orcas near New Zealand who hunt sharks and stingrays as a major part of their diet.
I dont think it's about messing with Orcas, or that it's a response to orca hunting sounds there was a humpback who protected a woman from a tiger shark.
Well, right now a bunch of animals -- the "Russians" pack -- are fighting another bunch of animals -- the "Ukrainians" pack -- while various animals such as Americans and Poles encourage them from the sidelines. Isn't nature fascinating? Speaking as a lifelong animal, I appreciate this :)
@@jamieoliver3262 yeah I'm notice there's no discussion of culling despite orcas not being endangered and their hunting behavior being learned. So were sitting by going "ooh so mysterious is nature" while orcas do shit like hunt kill highly endangered whale calfs, kill and run off great whites from their spawing grounds and terrorize seals starving polar bears. Like if it was normal behavior, yeah it is what it is. Bit orcas learn and they absolutely kill for fun and are very wasteful hunters. They have been doing shit like the one pod killing blue whale calves for their tongue and maybe liver. Theres another pod eating shark livers off south Africa disrupting the entire ecosystem...culls seem in order but nope
I feel you. I know it’s a balance of nature, and I’m a whale lover-but I cannot “get behind” orcas. They are the only whale I just don’t like, as they take out species I do like. It’s not logical, I know. But it’s how my gut reacts.
This is what happens when you free Willy! Confined all those years, Willy was wound up tight and blew off some steam one week off the Keys. After going through many partners a new pod was formed. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but Willy had mental issues that were passed down to the entire pod through a combination of epigenetics and learned behaviours. Willy had small man syndrome, being a former runt. Larger whales have been endangered since.
Definitely. There's even a video, of a diver whom was suddenly confronted by a Hump Back Whale which continuously pushed her in the direction of her boat. And no matter what the diver did, the Hump Back kept circling around her and pushing her towards her boat. Turns out, there was a Tiger Shark in the area and the Hump Back was trying to protect her.
I was coming to.say the same.thing. They said it isn't humans fault that orcas are starting to feed on larger whales more frequently. But really, it is. Between pollution and over fishing, species are dying more and more causing there to be less and less for the predators, in turn, causing them to turn to other sources for food.
There is a documentary about this cooperation between orcas and whale hunters. It is Incredible. They didn't just ambushed the whales trapping them in the bay, they also had a way to contact the community to tell them that they have gotten some whale. So soon some whale came to "tell" them about a whale that was trapped by the orca, somebody from the community run to the church to ring the bells. So each whale hunte would go to the sea.
Yes u are absolutely RIGHT !!!!!!! HOLLYWOOD SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THE ORCAS IN EDEN AUSTRALIA HELPING THE WHALE HUNTERS BY THEIR OWN DECISION. ORCAS THINK AND DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES , NOBODY ASKED OR TRAINED THEM TO DO SO. FAR BETTER THAN SHEEP DOGS I VE BOUGHT THE BOOK !!!!! ORCAS ARE V SPECIAL BEINGS AND CAPABLE TO DO MANY UNIQUE THINGS THAT FASCINATES ME ! SUCH AS GIVING PRESENTS TO HUMANS LIKE AN ORCA OFFERED A DIVER FROM NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC A PIECE OF STINGRAY TO SHOW FRIENDSHIP I VE READ IT. IN A BOOK ABOUT WHALES. ALSO A GROUP. OF DOLPHINS IN BRASIL , IN LAGUNA I BELIEVE AND ANOTHER COUNTRY HELPED. FOR MANY MANY YEARS. FISHERMEN. TO CATCH FISH BY THEIR OWN DECISION.

Long ago, the Cet-nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Orca Nation attacked. Only the Hump-vatar, master of all tail-ements, can stop them. But, when the world needed him most, he vanished.
I mean , we humans are killing machine. Killing in order to eat is the way of the nature. That's what every single organism is doing down here. Killing in order to survive.
The narration. Ok, I'm captivated by every topic on this channel- yet increasingly I'm transfixed by the quality of narration. Where else do we know this voice from?? I am subscribed to another CZcams channel with this narrator, but where else do we know this voice from? Television?? Assuming it's a human being and not some clever A.I., I'd say their delivery is among the best out there. And if this person isn't already a well-established pro, they deserve to be in high demand. 🤔...Oh, Steve will never let that happen, will he?
humans are nature though, pretty invasive but when food becomes less avaible it'll balance itself usually. Look at viruses or ants, large populations either macro or microscpic always follow the same trends. Waste disposal has evolved but needs some extra advancements, but population growth and wealth inequality is a bigger threat I think. Fishers do follow rendability rules against over fishing these days
As a kid growing up I always wondered why they call a big Dolphin Killer Whale. It's later on when I found how deadly they are and can kill any ocean creature known, including Great White Shark
Wasn't expecting to see Astoria show up here! I will say, a barrier would be extremely impractical without severely disrupting ecology and culture of the area, so I wouldn't say cost was the biggest factor. The Columbia river and nearby estuary can't be gated off from the ocean, and the docks and piers where the seals rest are either part of historical structures or businesses. Rebuilding the piers is a tough sell for a 200+ year old town that prides its historical identity and the tourism that brings. Plenty of tourists and locals also like the seals. I remember various attempts at getting rid of them were always controversial. I also believe that there are factors stronger than the seals leading to declining fish population. If there truly are too many seals than something will need to be done, but the numbers are in line with historical populations I don't think we should try to decimate them, and should conserve the fish in other ways.
I didn't think about the effect of whaling and the ensuing reduction of whale populations on mammal eating orcas. I wander if there was a point where food was more scarce for mammal eating orcas and how they adapted to that.
I was confused on many occasions when you changed whale species being discussed and yet displayed a different, and incorrect, species of whale. 0:40 - Discuss Blue Whale, show Humpback Whale 0:51 - Discuss Blue Whale, show non-Blue Whale (likely Gray Whale) 1:33 - Discuss Blue Whale, show Gray Whale 8:14 - Discuss Southern Right Whale, show Sperm Whale 9:35 - Discuss Beaked Whales, show Humpback Whale 10:51 - Discuss Humpback Whale, show Sperm Whale 11:56 - Discuss Humpback Whale, show Gray Whale There are likely more after this, got tired of looking for them. Normally I don't spot so many disconnects between what you are saying and the images on the screen, but this one seemed to be excessive.
Someone asked me if I was to be reincarnated what would I be I said I would want to be an orca he said why I said the apex predator all I have to do is eat,,,poo & f=+!,,, I'm good with that he said hell yeah I want to be an orca to,,, see ya later
14:31 Since the Humpbacks didn't prevent the Grey Whale calf from being killed, only stopped the Orcas from eating it, this could be a survival strategy for the Humpbacks. If they prevent the Orcas from eating, after putting in the hard work of hunting, this weakens the predator significantly..which means the Orcas are less of a threat. Keep them from eating long enough, the Orca will start dying, or maybe even leave the area. Either way, the Humpbacks win Edit: @14:38 yeah...because they don't have any other food. We saved the whales, but continue to pillage, pollute, and destroy all other life in the ocean. STOP EATING SEAFOOD! STOP FISHING! It's bad enough we're filling the oceans with plastic and raising temperatures, but we're also scooping out ALL of the fish! "But wait," you say, "It says sustainably caught on the bag!" Sorry hun, that's bullshit. There's no laws and no oversight in international waters. Just because there's a process, doesn't mean everything's gonna be okay.
So are you gonna make China stop? Its not the us causing the problem, not by catch and not by consumption. Americans eat very little fish, alot of it is farmed inland anyway and the rest is the same 4 heavily regulated species we catch in out own territorial waters. China on the other hand has been sending massive floating factories into protected waters like off the galapagos and yes even into Alaska and the uk because what are you gonna do about it.
Humback own calf also get killed and eaten in front of their eyes by orcas while orca didn't yet feel the killing of a child infront of a mother and being dinner of someone's who recently killed her child so stop your over love for orca, humpback try but they get succeed sometimes and sometimes not and it take time so child got killed, I hope orca get wipe out because they are letterally like human who kill for their benefit, shark also do hunt whale but eat them whole not like eat a special area of a child and then search another and do the same with them, filling a belly of orca is take 3 10 whale children's tongue but shark only take one whale calf even hardly
@@noelhalwick1568 As long as we're still consuming dairy products, there will always be steak as a byproduct. Hopefully in the future lab-grown meat will help take the pressure off, which will reserve actual cow meat for nice steaks instead of, like, pizza beef.
Until the marines scientists come up with solutions to protect these giant whales, hundreds of years from now, there will be no humpback whales left. Sad but true.
I wonder if the Orcas eat certain organs for holistic reasons. I mean even unknowingly if they crave a certain organ that day maybe it's bc their body needs that specific nutrition in that organ. 🤔
Many times I have seen one of these beasts attack without mercy, eating those around them that they dislike or disagree with. Vicious beast, those Oprahs! Oh, Orcas, not Oprahs? Well, description still fits.
I luv orcas they have the nice versions that live close to shore also they are not as big as the more agressive ones farther at sea maybe you can look into that for a next video

Ok, so that is a joke. Not a story. Its a “play on words” that only people fluent in sarcasm will get, so I will type this slow for you…
Its a joke, or pun, about a very large foreskin. Not meant to be factual or accurate. 🤦♂️ no skindivers were harmed in this story
Narrator: Humpback whales are the only whales that can defend themselves
Sperm whale: Am I a joke to you??
A few years ago a video captured a few orcas going after a great white shark. It was the first time that there was proof of how the orcas killed great whites. I was in awe when it showed the orcas turning the shark onto it's back causing it to go catatonic, or whatever, and then the orcas drowned the shark and ate its liver first.
Orcas are extremely impressive animals.
If memory serves they're the only pod that do it as they've learnt it, and it caused all the sharks in the area to dissappear for years. That's how they found the smell of dead shark is extremely potent to other sharks, great documentary about it! But usually they just ignore each other because the risk vs reward is too high for them to engage one another, that pod aside
@@joshyc2006 I'm sure you're right. That is spectacular footage. I think I'm going to have to look it up later when I get the chance. I hope you have a wonderful day/night!
Sharks are very acidic, they are supposed to taste like rotten piss when not prepared. That's why Orcas only eat the liver.
Meat eating humans eat Liver too, Foie de Grasse was a delicacy before it became illegal.
@@CordeliaWagner Ya, I don't think I would have eaten goose liver. Just like I won't eat veal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a vegetarian. I'm just not interested in some meat items.
There was an incident near the Farallon Islands some years back that may be what you're referring to.
The way I recall the story, a great white was attempting to take a seal away from the orca which had killed it. The orca rammed the shark, stunning it, then flipped it on it's back until the shark suffocated/drowned. (Some species of sharks cannot pump water through their gills, and need to keep swimming.) The orca then ripped the shark open and ate it's liver.
There's also a pod of orcas that showed up off the coast of South Africa in the early 2000s. It's the area where the "Air Jaws" shows were filmed. The sharks left the area and moved to a location quite a distance away after at least 5 great white bodies washed up on shore with their livers missing. The orca pod was easily identifiable as two of the males had collapsed dorsal fins, and had been nicknamed "Port" and "Starboard" for the side the fin ended up.
There are also orcas near New Zealand who hunt sharks and stingrays as a major part of their diet.
Orcas just becoming more like humans.
Their greatest defence against the orcas is the deep dives
I dont think it's about messing with Orcas, or that it's a response to orca hunting sounds there was a humpback who protected a woman from a tiger shark.
It was a marine biologist working off the Cook Islands. She revisits the humpback regularly.

@@CordeliaWagner - When WATOP often changes their video title, so I put it in the comments, in case they change it later.
Bruh when the whale yeet the orca, it made me laugh so hard! 😂⚰️💀
What’s the time stamp I didn’t see
Me as someone who loves animals and nature, fighting internally to remember that this is just how nature is so I don’t wish death upon Orcas.
Well, right now a bunch of animals -- the "Russians" pack -- are fighting another bunch of animals -- the "Ukrainians" pack -- while various animals such as Americans and Poles encourage them from the sidelines. Isn't nature fascinating? Speaking as a lifelong animal, I appreciate this :)
That all depends on the numbers there is a time and a place for culling orca if there numbers become a problem 😉
@@jamieoliver3262 yeah I'm notice there's no discussion of culling despite orcas not being endangered and their hunting behavior being learned. So were sitting by going "ooh so mysterious is nature" while orcas do shit like hunt kill highly endangered whale calfs, kill and run off great whites from their spawing grounds and terrorize seals starving polar bears. Like if it was normal behavior, yeah it is what it is. Bit orcas learn and they absolutely kill for fun and are very wasteful hunters. They have been doing shit like the one pod killing blue whale calves for their tongue and maybe liver. Theres another pod eating shark livers off south Africa disrupting the entire ecosystem...culls seem in order but nope
I feel you. I know it’s a balance of nature, and I’m a whale lover-but I cannot “get behind” orcas. They are the only whale I just don’t like, as they take out species I do like. It’s not logical, I know. But it’s how my gut reacts.
@@emilygerow5034 how do you get on with a bit of salmon 😋
Okay the Tom & Jerry scream crushed me 😄
This is what happens when you free Willy! Confined all those years, Willy was wound up tight and blew off some steam one week off the Keys. After going through many partners a new pod was formed. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but Willy had mental issues that were passed down to the entire pod through a combination of epigenetics and learned behaviours. Willy had small man syndrome, being a former runt. Larger whales have been endangered since.
This is not the first time I've heard of Humpback Whale's being protectors of other Sea Mammals.
Definitely. There's even a video, of a diver whom was suddenly confronted by a Hump Back Whale which continuously pushed her in the direction of her boat. And no matter what the diver did, the Hump Back kept circling around her and pushing her towards her boat. Turns out, there was a Tiger Shark in the area and the Hump Back was trying to protect her.
✨TEAM HUMPBACK WHALES✨
Payback whale
These videos make my mornings
13:06 had me dead😂😂😂
With the amount of over fishing its kinda understandable why they would eat each other.
I was coming to.say the same.thing.
They said it isn't humans fault that orcas are starting to feed on larger whales more frequently. But really, it is. Between pollution and over fishing, species are dying more and more causing there to be less and less for the predators, in turn, causing them to turn to other sources for food.
Orcas are magnificent animals, it’s always a privilege to see them
There is a documentary about this cooperation between orcas and whale hunters. It is Incredible. They didn't just ambushed the whales trapping them in the bay, they also had a way to contact the community to tell them that they have gotten some whale. So soon some whale came to "tell" them about a whale that was trapped by the orca, somebody from the community run to the church to ring the bells. So each whale hunte would go to the sea.
Yes u are absolutely RIGHT !!!!!!!
HOLLYWOOD SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THE ORCAS
IN EDEN AUSTRALIA HELPING THE WHALE HUNTERS
BY THEIR OWN DECISION.
ORCAS THINK AND DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES , NOBODY ASKED OR TRAINED THEM
TO DO SO.
FAR BETTER THAN SHEEP DOGS
I VE BOUGHT THE BOOK !!!!!
ORCAS ARE V SPECIAL BEINGS AND CAPABLE TO DO MANY UNIQUE THINGS THAT
FASCINATES ME !
SUCH AS GIVING PRESENTS TO HUMANS LIKE AN ORCA OFFERED A DIVER FROM NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
A PIECE OF STINGRAY TO SHOW FRIENDSHIP
I VE READ IT. IN A BOOK ABOUT WHALES.
ALSO A GROUP. OF DOLPHINS IN BRASIL , IN LAGUNA I BELIEVE AND ANOTHER COUNTRY
HELPED. FOR MANY MANY YEARS. FISHERMEN. TO CATCH FISH BY THEIR OWN DECISION.
ORCAS ARE DOLPHINS , BOTH INCREDIBLE BUT ORCAS EVEN MORE AND HOW MUCH ORCAS LOVE MUSIC EVEN MORE THAN HUMANS IT IS AMAZING !!!!!;!!!!!!;!!
ORCAS❤ ORCAS❤ ORCAS❤❤
It's called the killers of eden
Long ago, the Cet-nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Orca Nation attacked. Only the Hump-vatar, master of all tail-ements, can stop them. But, when the world needed him most, he vanished.
5:38 tell me that doesnt look like a dinosaurs skeleton.
Orcas are my favorite animal! I Even have a tattoo of one on my arm. More orca videos forever pl3ase
Orcas is a killing machine alldo I don't like orcas.
@@whiteking8341 orcas are the coolest smartest animals out there. They deserve to be killing machines if they want to be
I mean , we humans are killing machine. Killing in order to eat is the way of the nature. That's what every single organism is doing down here. Killing in order to survive.
The narration.
Ok, I'm captivated by every topic on this channel- yet increasingly I'm transfixed by the quality of narration. Where else do we know this voice from??
I am subscribed to another CZcams channel with this narrator, but where else do we know this voice from? Television??
Assuming it's a human being and not some clever A.I., I'd say their delivery is among the best out there. And if this person isn't already a well-established pro, they deserve to be in high demand.
🤔...Oh, Steve will never let that happen, will he?
It is a ai voice ive heard it used on other channels like this one about military stuff (forgot the name)
It’s a voice actor they hire. I’ve heard the same voice in What If. and Snapchat stories and other things
Sounds almost identical to seth rogan in my opinion.
It's not A.I., well, unless it learned how to add pauses mid-word and an inflection. I'm sure that it's possible but this sounds like a V.A.
@@Adstew yea actually a little bit lol
the shields on the flippers as a motherly defensive instinct was cute :)
Another good lesson learned. I wish man would consider what he does as how it affects nature so we can do things differently.
I don't eat fish.
Empty Oceans is why Orcas don't find enough food.
humans are nature though, pretty invasive but when food becomes less avaible it'll balance itself usually. Look at viruses or ants, large populations either macro or microscpic always follow the same trends. Waste disposal has evolved but needs some extra advancements, but population growth and wealth inequality is a bigger threat I think. Fishers do follow rendability rules against over fishing these days
Wtf how humans and orcas cooperated that harmonically 😳
Damn 😂 Them Sperm Whales really said..."This Is Sparta!" 💀 9:10
As a kid growing up I always wondered why they call a big Dolphin Killer Whale. It's later on when I found how deadly they are and can kill any ocean creature known, including Great White Shark
Actually the Spanish sailors gave orcas the name killer of whales henceforth killer whale
Wasn't expecting to see Astoria show up here!
I will say, a barrier would be extremely impractical without severely disrupting ecology and culture of the area, so I wouldn't say cost was the biggest factor. The Columbia river and nearby estuary can't be gated off from the ocean, and the docks and piers where the seals rest are either part of historical structures or businesses. Rebuilding the piers is a tough sell for a 200+ year old town that prides its historical identity and the tourism that brings.
Plenty of tourists and locals also like the seals. I remember various attempts at getting rid of them were always controversial.
I also believe that there are factors stronger than the seals leading to declining fish population. If there truly are too many seals than something will need to be done, but the numbers are in line with historical populations I don't think we should try to decimate them, and should conserve the fish in other ways.
I hate how he Pronounces Astoria and Oregon!
6:36 "I have to stop taking baths during Peter's shenanigans"

Iv been to Eden and fished in Twofold Bay. We visited the museum aswell. Good trip.
People need to understand, the Orcas and Velociraptors are not evil, their just hungry. They have/had to eat something.
Wow.....Lil dose of reality there.......this channel is in my top 3 being number 1 😁
4:03 we all appreciate that you blurred out the gruesome animal cruelty scene on that old painting 🤣
He censored it for youtube monetization not for folks watching this video....lmao
I wouldn't mind.
But CZcams wants everything "family friendly".

Orcas are the coolest and yet most terrifying animal on this earth..their intelligence is mind-boggling..
2:20 it's even crazier orca eat BIRDS like wowzies. Nobody safe when Orca around. Whole new level of respect and fear for Orcas.
They don't attack humans. Get some education.
Ocean gang fights
I didn't think about the effect of whaling and the ensuing reduction of whale populations on mammal eating orcas. I wander if there was a point where food was more scarce for mammal eating orcas and how they adapted to that.
The most amazing thing is that this narrators voice is on every tenth video on CZcams. How is that possible?
6:34 HAHAHA *_This is EXACTLY the expression a pissed-off local, retired fishing enthusiast dealing with those seals would have!!!_*
I was confused on many occasions when you changed whale species being discussed and yet displayed a different, and incorrect, species of whale.
0:40 - Discuss Blue Whale, show Humpback Whale
0:51 - Discuss Blue Whale, show non-Blue Whale (likely Gray Whale)
1:33 - Discuss Blue Whale, show Gray Whale
8:14 - Discuss Southern Right Whale, show Sperm Whale
9:35 - Discuss Beaked Whales, show Humpback Whale
10:51 - Discuss Humpback Whale, show Sperm Whale
11:56 - Discuss Humpback Whale, show Gray Whale
There are likely more after this, got tired of looking for them. Normally I don't spot so many disconnects between what you are saying and the images on the screen, but this one seemed to be excessive.
Who cares
That scary 50 orca’s attacking one whale 🐋 ‼️
I keep amaze how you find this kind of topic, just from the tumbnail itself already very interesting
15:00 that made me a choked laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Whale killing killer whales
Killer whales Killing whales
Orca: "Open wide!"
Whale: "Ahhhhh....AARRGH!"
The nano second I hear this guy's voice: NEXT VIDEO!!!Every SINGLE time!
god to see some animals standing up against the biggest bully of the sea
That whale they killed is not a bully at all
Happy I got here early this time ...
What would’ve been the difference if you got here a month later?
The video would still be exactly the same
a lot of other species also made massive comebacks after a great decline in population and distribution
Like the white Rhino???
So female Orca's are just like female humans! Ferocious!
Orca: "I'm going to eat your face."
Humpback Whale: "Haha, is that a funny way of saying kissing? Are you proposing making out with me?"
Orca: "No."
Someone asked me if I was to be reincarnated what would I be I said I would want to be an orca he said why I said the apex predator all I have to do is eat,,,poo & f=+!,,, I'm good with that he said hell yeah I want to be an orca to,,, see ya later
Lol cool story bro
Humpback whales are the only baleen whales the fight Orcas. But the toothed male sperm whales also fight them.
I love animals that cooperate.
first god
14:31 Since the Humpbacks didn't prevent the Grey Whale calf from being killed, only stopped the Orcas from eating it, this could be a survival strategy for the Humpbacks.
If they prevent the Orcas from eating, after putting in the hard work of hunting, this weakens the predator significantly..which means the Orcas are less of a threat.
Keep them from eating long enough, the Orca will start dying, or maybe even leave the area.
Either way, the Humpbacks win
Edit: @14:38 yeah...because they don't have any other food. We saved the whales, but continue to pillage, pollute, and destroy all other life in the ocean.
STOP EATING SEAFOOD! STOP FISHING! It's bad enough we're filling the oceans with plastic and raising temperatures, but we're also scooping out ALL of the fish!
"But wait," you say, "It says sustainably caught on the bag!" Sorry hun, that's bullshit. There's no laws and no oversight in international waters. Just because there's a process, doesn't mean everything's gonna be okay.
So are you gonna make China stop? Its not the us causing the problem, not by catch and not by consumption. Americans eat very little fish, alot of it is farmed inland anyway and the rest is the same 4 heavily regulated species we catch in out own territorial waters. China on the other hand has been sending massive floating factories into protected waters like off the galapagos and yes even into Alaska and the uk because what are you gonna do about it.
I hate seafood YUCK! give me a nice bloody steak! Yummy
Humback own calf also get killed and eaten in front of their eyes by orcas while orca didn't yet feel the killing of a child infront of a mother and being dinner of someone's who recently killed her child so stop your over love for orca, humpback try but they get succeed sometimes and sometimes not and it take time so child got killed, I hope orca get wipe out because they are letterally like human who kill for their benefit, shark also do hunt whale but eat them whole not like eat a special area of a child and then search another and do the same with them, filling a belly of orca is take 3 10 whale children's tongue but shark only take one whale calf even hardly
@@noelhalwick1568 As long as we're still consuming dairy products, there will always be steak as a byproduct. Hopefully in the future lab-grown meat will help take the pressure off, which will reserve actual cow meat for nice steaks instead of, like, pizza beef.
Until the marines scientists come up with solutions to protect these giant whales, hundreds of years from now, there will be no humpback whales left. Sad but true.
I wonder if the Orcas eat certain organs for holistic reasons. I mean even unknowingly if they crave a certain organ that day maybe it's bc their body needs that specific nutrition in that organ. 🤔
make history channel please

If Orcas are the Kings of the Sea, Humpbacks are the Pharaohs👑
Why?
A pharaoh was an Egytian king, so your statement makes no sense.
I never cared for orcas one bit...
Many times I have seen one of these beasts attack without mercy, eating those around them that they dislike or disagree with. Vicious beast, those Oprahs!
Oh, Orcas, not Oprahs? Well, description still fits.
Shamoo was so cute lol can’t believe there really vicious 😂😂
"They're", even.
Thank you 💛. I love to watch everything about whales and orcas. Please send me more! Ty
Nature is brutal. Maybe not as bad as crime in a Democrat run city, but still very brutal!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I luv orcas they have the nice versions that live close to shore also they are not as big as the more agressive ones farther at sea maybe you can look into that for a next video
All orcas are basically the same size. The difference is some are transients that eat marine mammals and some are residents that eat only fish.
