- The sixth and final of the HERO4: The Adventure of Life in 4K series.
Dr. Ingrid Visser dedicates her life and her research to help the most intelligent predator on earth - Orca. She swims with wild orca and advocates for modern solutions to release orcas from captivity.
Shot on location in New Zealand, this short film documents Ingrid's life mission to preserve wild orca through education & leading rescue missions to save orca from shallow waters & fishing line entanglements.
Includes never-before-seen footage of a GoPro mounted to the dorsal fin of a wild orca plus various archival footage and pictures from the Orca Research Trust.
Shot on the HERO2, HERO3, HERO3+, and HERO4® cameras from GoPro.com.

" If I could give the kids that I teach one message, that would be don't buy a ticket to see whales and dolphins in captivity."
Well said.
Only idiots go to sea world
Agreed
+Fangorainblooms thats not enough
Yes, and things are changing for SeaWorld. Their profits are down. They have stopped their breeding program which is a step in the right direction.
Natural orcas are my fantasy I want to ‘sea’ 😎💩
14:52 "You know, as a scientist you have to say that the animals don't recognize you."
Immediately her dog appears, as if saying: "I do recognize you."
Wybe Westra i know i was just like 🤨🧐😂
It's kind of a weird statement tbh.. like why wouldn't a scientist at least consider the possibility that some animals may just have the ability to recognize individual humans?? like i know they're not sitting there thinking "oh that's my pet human Karen and her friend Barbara...." but still.
@@Alejandro_87 It's not that they don't consider it, it's that they can't demonstrate it through easily replicated and blinded experimentation. She is being careful about injecting what she wants to be true into what she can prove to be true; she's being a good scientist.
@@souffle01 Indeed, it has also been demonstrated that dolphins can recognize each other after decades of being apart.
And come to think about it, if "animals" (because as @Arabella rightly points out, we fall under that label as well) could not recognize individual humans, how would a dog / owner bond work then? It would be quite hard to get such a thing to function if the dog didn't remember or recognize the human.
6:03 that attack on the seal was incredible. The pod needed to first understand the physics involved, come up with the idea in situ, communicate the idea so that everyone is on the same page, and finally coordinate flawlessly to pull that off. That alone is a demonstration of intelligence comparable to our own.
They are absolutely amazing!
yes, i agree, they managed to figure out displacement alr
👏👏👏
I had goosebumps with that what the hell they know teamwork and strategy they can think like us !
Are they communicate like:
"Hey guys.. let swim together to make a wave so the seal will slide off from the ice.."
It's no wonder they attack in captivity. Theyre going mad. They are an extremely intelligent, highly social, family-oriented animal built for swimming vast distances in the open ocean and theyre being made to live out their existence in what is essentially the equivalent of a bath tub. Any intelligent being forced to live out its life in a box is going to eventually lose their mind.
Ive been to Sea World once, and despite the scenic landscapes and designs, the music, the lights and the hype, it was the most depressing thing Id ever seen. Being an artist, I stayed to watch and sketch the orcas and dolphins between their "shows", and what I saw was a glimpse of the reality of their life. They were so lethargic and lifeless... dead inside. Many seemed to have the equivalent of a nervous tick. Bumping the walls over and over, swimming slowly in circles, or just floating idle with their nose to the wall. During the "shows" they were robotic... just sort of 'going through the motions'. Truly heartbreaking and I havent been back since.
Exactly. If a human was kept in a locked room for their whole life, they wouldn’t hesitate to attack their captivator if they had the chance.. I know I wouldn’t
Many of these whales were stolen from their moms and let me tell you the mother/infant bond in any animal is very strong. I had a toy poodle that was the best show dog and loved it so much. When she retired from her show career we tried to bred her to get another like her but unfortunately she had a difficult birth and the puppy died. The momma dog held that dead baby in her mouth for hours and cried, I finally said give me your baby and your human daddy will bury her for you, she dropped the puppy in my open hand and plunged her head into my armpit and literally sobbed loudly. Needless to say we all cried too. How can they get over losing their family. They may even hear them calling for them. My horse also lost her mother at age 40 and her daughter mourned and hung her head, wouldn’t greet us and stopped eating for a month.
Patricia Smith I balled my eyes out reading that 😭
This is the reality of sea world that they don't want you to see plus they don't bite and rake each other in the wild if there not being fed.
It’s a HORRIBLE thing to keep an Orca in captivity. It’s cruel and evil to trap them and enslave them like that...
I adore humans who came to this world with a determination to be angels throughout their lives without a thorough plan.
I would give it all for these orcas , the beauty of having a child things like this like , anything to see & help these animals who are so. Ery special in my heart. If you have info please contact me Nicole LeeHanna vis FB , thx tis a prayer & I won't stop praying til its my reality
So amazing how at 11:56 you can see that the other orcas could’ve easily swam away and abandoned the one who was tangled. They weren’t tangled, they were free to leave and go hunt or something. But they stayed with their pod member to provide comfort and support. It shows how important family bonds are to cetaceans. Also it’s so cute to hear the kids with the Kiwi accents
They are her kids, ofc they stay next to their mother
Dumbazz comment lol tf... who leaves just because someone is tangled? And also that's their mom.
You can even see in some instances that the babies would go under and push her up a little bit to keep her from sinking, I'm assuming she was extremely lethargic at this point
You can’t abandon a family member when they can’t defend themselves and are stuck
12:05 the cute baby orcas stay with mom and waiting for help from Dr. Ingrid to save fishing line entanglements 🤗👏
Also, many thanks to Dr. Ingrid’s great help for those beautiful orca family 🙏🙏🙏
6:14 - 6:20 the four orcas look so cool doing the wave!
it's pretty incredible but my heart dropped for the seal
poor seal :(
@@snow.flower every time you feel bad for a seal remember what they do to cute penguins :D
@@briaan2697 They kill penguins to eat the fishes that are inside
THEY DONT EVEN EAT THEM
She deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
Definetly
+Cassandra Williams She deserve to be heard and we need to listen to her teachings.
+nalog007 ^^^including Sea World
+Cassandra Williams Seaworld is pretty much finished now. It won't be long before they close their doors for good.
+Cassandra Williams Don't think they ever will listen to her one bit. She's been working on Killer Whales for a very long time. Sadly,the people won't give a single damn cuz of their goddamn money. But Sea World is slowly gonna be finished soon.
14:50 Says animals don't recognize her....Dog walks up like.. sup Ingrid.
The orca's. Not pets like dogs
She says that _as a scientist_ she has to say that they don't recognize her, because neither she nor anyone else has done the experiment to prove that they recognize individual human beings...it's clearly conveyed, however, that personally she believes that they do.
Micky de Lange yes of course but it was still ironic and funny
there is a man in south america who has made friends with an orca. he goes out int o the sea with his boat and calls out to her and she comes to him...isnt that wonderful. he says he tries not to get too close but can one really not get close to something so beautfiul and so intelligent and wants to interact with human
" If dolphins can recognize people, I am sure Orca do"
Just to clarify: orcas ARE dolphins...the largest of the oceanic dolphins, in fact.
I absolutely adore Ingrid. I never get tired of watching documentaries on whales, sharks, otters, sea lions, etc... Especially when Ingrid is in it.
An amazing woman with a vision and a mission in life. What a life achievement.
I've paused it multiple times on the close-ups where you can clearly see into their eye, and it physically sends chills down my spine. There is so much soul and emotion behind those eyes. Majestic indeed. They must be protected.
It's pretty evident she is very passionate about Orcas, she speaks Orcas language, most importantly she has inspired kids we need more conservationists like her. She seems to be really happy person... happy with her work. Brilliant video
I absolutely love her work to rescue orcas . We need more people like her. Absolutely in awe with orcas . Can’t emphasize enough people need not go to places where they are in captivity.
Thank goodness for Dr. Ingrid Visser , she's a treasure, making the world a better place.
Gosh, I cried in the last few minutes, I'm so awed by how passionate this lady is, and I'm so grateful to have people like her in the world, teaching everyone to help animals. Very inspiring film.
11:36 quite literally made me cry, seeing that poor animal just sit there and it's 2 family/friends whatever they may be sit there with him trying to help just hit me in the heart, this woman is awesome.
its 2 calves, they aint going anywhere without the mother regardless
@@bladerj might not be her own calves. Could be her siblings or cousins. No way of knowing
That wasn't a dream you had. That was you traveling through other realms and swimming/communicating with them. Very spiritual ❤
We need to teach children that they need not to save only the orca, but all creatures of the world, I believe the future will have a head start.
Amen
It legit brings a tear to my I knowing how sentient, self aware and intelligent orcas are, with the knowledge of them being held captive ...
Do you care as much that people have their babies ripped to pieces through abortion by the millions each year?
Charles Terrizzi No, too many humans a it is.
Charles Terrizzi that is why abortion should be illegal. Also your “argument” doesn’t change the fact that orcas shouldn’t be held captive.
@@charlesterrizzi8311 No cos those are just humans and they're not even conscious.
I know. I was tearing too!!
you beautiful human, you already succeeded, and, are definitely coming back as an orka.
Orca*
misa lazovic You forget one very serious problem with that evolutionary theory. Orca's are canibals. They eat dolphins, a member of the Delphinidae family that they belong to as well. They will kill and eat any member of their family except each other. They are very ruthless and amazing creatures, but not an evolutionary up for us.
you took me literally, sad.
Eating other dolphins isn't cannibalism: humans eat monkeys, and some eat other humans.
*Okra
Her dedication is contagious...what an exemplary human being!
I love how at 7:54 one of them bites the other, and then the other one smacks them with its tail. Back off, girl!
Me with my younger siblings lmao
@@cfdby4784 Haha relatable.
"Stay six feet away"
@@cfdby4784 it didn't bite the other.
Never been to Sea World and it was because the tickets are really expensive...
BUT! this is why I will not go. Because of you, Dr. Indrid Visser.
*Whispers* Ingrid... and I agree with your enthusiasm!
You could go on a whale watching cruise.
bondroid bonaducci I know now I don't have a problem with zoos because without them a lot of species would be completely gone i.e. The scimitar horned oryx.
this woman's passion for orca is incredible. wonderful seeing human compassion for animals!
The story about them trying to rescue each other. Incredible.
My home village is a fisherman village.. And we've always had a statue of an orca as our sort of symbol... No idea why, but I'm glad it is! Some people even say that the name of my village originates from orca.. Living on a former island gives me that extra love for water, the ocean and the creatures that live in it and videos like this just warm my heart❤️
They symbolize family, loyalty and community. I know because my local hockey team is the Vancouver canucks. They are named for orca and that’s what they symbolize
Thank you GoPro for supporting such scientists!
Hiii how are you
Ooh I love these animals😍this woman deserves more recognition than she gets, she's really made a difference
Ingrid is an angel. ❤️ Love all the work she is doing for the orcas
I went to Sea World once, all I wanted to do was cry. Seeing them in a concrete cage was one the most heartbreaking things I have ever experienced. I want the exact same thing for them, a sanctuary where they are safe in the world they belong in. We wouldn't want to be trapped in a box in the sea for their entertainment, why on earth do that to them?

Dr. Ingrid Visser you are an amazing person. Shame there aren't more people like you on this planet!!
At the very least a Queens award. I love her.
@@nellbell7104 Nobel Peace Prize!...with the $million$ that comes with it so much more advancement in understanding and protecting Orca would flow.
WHAT AN AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING WOMAN, ONE IN A BILLION!!!!
14:47: "You know as a scientist you have to say that the animals don't recognize you"
Her Dog: Hello Ingrid
Her: Oh hello sweetie
That doesn't seem like a very scientific thing to say. Of course animals recognise you if they know you.
@@lauralishes1 Not all animals "know" people though, they can't tell you apart from another member of the same species. In fact probably most can't, many can't even recognise themselves in the mirror. What she's saying is that the science says orcas don't perform well in recognition testing.
@@neildepressedtyson540 I think she's trying to deter people from using her work to justify captivity or interactions in the wild from common people
As she just talked about Ben the whale constantly swimming up to her...hmmm.
@@neildepressedtyson540 If dolphins can remember another dolphin they haven't seen in twenty years just by hearing a recording of another dolphin's whistle, than Orcas can surely remember humans for far longer. They have a cerebral cortex that is much larger than their smaller cousins, the dolphins. (Orcas are the largest of the dolphin species)
Is there a link to a study that says otherwise? I'm pretty sure Orcas blow humans out of the water when it comes to intelligence and memory. Certainly elephants have better memory capacity than humans as well.
She is sooooo amazing and sweet dreaming she is talking with orcas, following her dreams from when she was a child, and being fearless in her curiosity and passion. ❤️ I too am fascinated by whales and the sea. “Don’t buy a ticket “ and educate yourselves about all the amazing creatures that share this planet with us.
I really enjoyed this video. I love seeing people living their passion. Whatever it happens to be. They always appear so much more alive and thankful for their time on earth. This was a really special video that makes you question how they ever rationalized putting orcas in capacity to begin with. Man has got to stop putting money before everything.
So true! They deserve to be free to roam the waters with their family, not to be captured and put in a tank.
Unfortunately, it has always been a facet of the human mentality that we can do anything with any other animal species, whether for food, sport, or merely entertainment. There are those who still feel strongly in that direction. Fortunately, there is now a strong tide leading in another direction, that of respecting other inhabitants of the earth instead of treating them as playthings.
I certainly agree that this video is all the more powerful for being a view of Dr. Visser, living a life of purpose.
Nicely said...
Sadly, someone rationalized it because they saw it as an opportunity to make money. I think that's why her statement at the end is so important. If enough of us refuse to buy a ticket, and it no longer becomes profitable to put orcas in captivity, then the odds of them being freed grow much higher.
Wakaleo well said!!
i can't even find the words to describe this. 1000/10.
Ignacio Varga but that’s not even a word it’s two numbers and a forward slash
Ingrid, I was very moved by this video, your shared knowledge, and your insights into Orcas. Those children benefited enormously as well, and will be forever changed due to your time with them. What a magnificent thing is your passion for Orcas. In the footage of the deep, I was moved to tears watching those giant animals being so gentle with you, and curious about knowing you, understanding you. I wish we could all do the same for them.
I have worked with animal rescue since childhood and across continents. I love all animals. I discovered scuba diving and this was an epiphany! There is so much more in the ocean than on land. So much more beauty, diversity of plant and fish, incredible colors, textures, forms, and the silence speaking volumes.
I have hope that we will grow as humans and be able to appreciate these animals in their full glory. Our knowledge and values of most things is entirely deficient, wrong, and the opposite of what is. I have discarded most of what was taught to me and embraced my own experiences and inductive knowledge of what really is. Snakes for one. Snakes are so misunderstood. They are gentle and sweet, and love to cuddle. But every source from the Bible to Walt Disney makes snakes the bad guys to be feared. The only animal to be feared is the human being. With videos like yours, we can educate, inform, change minds and values, and save the planet. Thank you profoundly for this gift.
What an amazing human being she is.. everyone could and should learn from her compassion for these animals.
I was thinking from the beginning that you must have been an Orca in a previous life. Sent back to be able to fix the problems that humans cause to them. You are an Orca Angel. Hope would be that in the next life you will be an Orca again and not have to worry about the harm that people used to do.
I'm sorry, what?
The hell did I just read? She’s a marine biologist not a messiah, I agree with her message but come on, there’s no need to start a cult worshipping her.
I am guilty of buying a ticket to see the orca and other sea life creature....for the first time this year and in my entire life, I bought a plane ticket to see them in the wild...I'm extremely excited and so thankful to have that opportunity!
Read about how boats are harming the wild Orcas.....it's just as sad as SeaWorld whales in captivity. There has to be a change in how we visit them in the wild, they are on the extinction list.
Don't beat yourself up over it; you may have paid to see it, but it's not your fault that they're there.
Did you see them in the wild?
I believe a lot have people have seen whales in captivity (including myself) because they want to see them and think they are being looked after. I visited Sea World Orlando and swam with dolphins at discovery cove.
When I started to be educated about their conditions and how oblivious I was, an enormous amount of guilt clouded around me! I told myself that it's happened now, but now just pass the education forward and reduce/hopefully eliminate the ticket sales.
I am doing the same and seeing them in the wild. Kayaking in Canada is on the top of my list!
@@kennyboyle700 I like to think that people still get inspired by the orcas in captivity and leave with a new understanding and fascination with them. All the wows and woahs and laughing shows that people are enjoying it at least and will take away happy memories that they paid for. A shame for the orcas themselves, but it has helped shape the public's eye into loving orcas rather than dreading and fearing them like in old times. Before orcas in captivity were common, they were sea monsters. Now they are lovable symbols of fun and entertainment at least
Cannot extend enough admiration & Thank you For What You Do for Orcas! I’m in support of Rescuing Orcas - Blackfish just about literally broke my heart - I cannot say it enough - captivity needs to END! I’m nowhere near the ocean but I’ll go to the ends of the earth to fight for this until my last breath! THANK YOU SO MUCH & GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Geez this lady is more obsessed than I am...and I love it!
My favourite animal :) Was so disappointed my trip to New Zealand was cancelled. I would have loved to see them in the wild.
I live in nz, I would mind going on holiday to a few places but there's no country id rather live in.
Am I the only one that feels an irresistible temptation to get in the water, swim with, and hug an orca? Not riding them, that is called seaworld/animal cruelty.
Go to British Columbia Canada and go on a whale watching tour I did it and I saw many orcas
I love orcas I'm currently studying marine biology
How is it going?
I wanna study it too
Macie Jenkins good how did it go?
I’m in my first year of fine art but I’m thinking about changing to marine biology
Look at these simps who replied 3 years later 😂😂😂
A wonderful video. We are lucky that there are people like Ingrid out there. If everyone had just a grain of what she's got in their hearts, the world would be in so much better shape.
What do they think you are Miss Ingrid? You are a pet, a friend, a precious toy, a curiosity, an interesting find in their water kingdom. You are safe to interact with, trustworthy, even helpful, and they treasure that. I am so glad to see videos of dolphin and whale rescues especially, but so saddened to think that for every animal that is rescued, maybe 10 died unknown. Thank You for Your Service to Our Planet and Your Wonderful Videos.
OMG those 3 orcas doing that wave , that was AMAZING
This is amazing, Ingrid Visser visited my year 2 class when i was six around 12 years ago! and my class did a 60 minutes segment about going to her house. So awesome to see her still doing this, she was and is so inspiring. I still love Orca today
Thank you for watching over these wonderful animals! 😊♥️
As a big fan of orcas, this video makes me tear up a bit every time I see it.
Same here brother!
"You know as a scientist you have to say that animals don't recognize you..."
Dog walks upto her...
Hahahahaha, nice one!
not exactly, she said "... that *the* animals don't recognize you" meaning the orcas, in that context. but is a dog smarter than an orca? i don't know. my gut says it is, but my gut says a lot of things ...
anyway, i also found that scene a bit melodramatic. i wouldn't be surprised if it had been staged. on the other hand i _would_ be surprised if orcas didn't remember and recognize people, especially when having such large brains.
No the orca is actually smarter then us, fun fact :)
teed Orcas are much smarter than dogs. Dogs can be very smart but, as a species, orcas are smarter. But no, despite what Brandon said, they are not smarter than us. About some things? Sure. They would have us beat in many activities but we, as a species, are smarter.
who said something about anyone being smarter than "us"? Oo
Saint Of AwesomeMess Lol its more like if your walking down a path, would you "recognize" an ant before you stepped on it, I believe was the context she meant it.
Let me say that in a world gone mad; people like this make it all worth it. I think with what we have now, videos like these, we don't need captive animals in any form. It used to be some one would never be able to see animals in their environment so zoos and alike mimicked this to try and show people nature. Unfortunately, no one ever asked the animals. Utterly beautiful interaction and a really heart warming experience. Oh and by the by, if reincarnation is true I think she already was an Orca.
Wir müssen Ingrid viel mehr supporten, sie hat so viel mehr verdient. Die ganze Erfahrung, ihr ganzes Wissen hat so viel Wert für die ganzen Orcas.
I was very shocked to hear this woman say "As a scientist i must say that they dont recognize you" As i marine biologist myself, i can say this statement is neither taught nor believed in the orca research community. We applaude the work this woman does so passionately, dont get me wrong. But many, many animals recognize their saviors, researchers, and friends.
Maybe this is a sort of protective measure for the animals she works with...? In other words, so ppl don’t use that to entrap and harm animals. Just a thought.
She said as a scientist i'm "supposed " to say animals dont recognize us. I dont think she believes it to be true.
The way I took it was that she was saying as a scientist you're supposed to believe that, but in her heart she doesnt. Not saying I'm right, that was just my impression.
As scientists she’s probably supposed to say that so random people don’t start jumping in the ocean thinking they can become bffs with an Orca. Lmao
yeah crows are amazing with remembering people
wow tears just running down my eyes, such nice thing to help animals when they're in trouble. great job :)
Not only a big thank you to Dr. Ingrid Visser but also to this marketing campaign. This shows that even though marketing is about getting people to buy products, a company also has the possibility to inform, make a point and support a good cause. Great footage of my very favourite animal. :)
7:17 She’s drop dead gorgeous!! You can see her eyes looking into the camera
Since I was little I love orcas,.. As I grew I watched many documentaries about them, tattoed one and learned how to scubadive so that one day I may dive with them. It is a passion few people understand.
Now I have to save money in order to dive with them. Meanwhile I watch videos like this to keep the dream alive and be happy seeing people taking good care of them.
How the hell are there over 400 dislikes? They probably work at Sea World.
Because there is no need for her to be intruding in their world. All she is doing is monetizing her encounters to make a living and aggrandizing. There is plenty of research already done there is no need for more intrusion. Her so-called research is redundant and unnecessary.
Trust me - the majority of people dislike the places that they work at (specifical organizations like that).
My dislike is regarding the waste of resources this puts on taxpayers, all these money could be use to something more relevant in the modern world, saving 4 Orcas costs about the same as educating 42.000 kids in the developing world. I know is a noble end, but is it really worth it?
@@MrBlues113 you're right.
@KyoKonKyoChin With the money you spend saving one Orca, you could teach how to use contraceptives to about 2 million people in the developing world, so what would you prefer? 1 orca or about 3.5 million less "parasites" ...
what amazing creatures...and what an amazing human
Ingrid I would just like to thank you for your service of these beautiful whales.
I'd so love to swim with them no matter the cost to me as the respect these whales give you is totally mind blowing.
Absolutely wonderful. Ingrid, we need a world full of people like you!
it's depressing that people are so terribly cruel to this animals whose brains are so similar to ours
How can you say they don't recognize you when one of them swims up to you, and only you? They are very intelligent and i believe they can identify objects and people quite well.
Orcas are my favorite animal! They’re so cool and beautiful and cute, all at the same time!
Imagine she has an orca hotline she is a national treasure much respect
Dr. Ingred.... you are my hero!! I would LOVE to do what you do!! Thank you for your heart for whales!!!
i love how people have not forgotten about how this life is a gift and we should have so much respect for every animal that shares this gift. we dont own this world we are but a small part of nature.. huge amaout of love goes out to everyone who protects these beautiful animals..
I wish I loved my job as much as this woman loves hers. She seems so fulfilled.
This is one of the most inspiring videos I have ever seen. You are all doing an amazing job and long may it continue!
Ingrid is SUCH a badass. Her documentaries are fascinating. You won't see any other scientist jumping into the water with orcas during feeding time. There's a lot we know about orcas that we never would have known if it wasn't for her. She's a remarkable person.
Thank you so much for doing this with Ingrid! She is such an amazing person and a huge advocate for cetacean freedom! Captivity is NOT ok and I am so pleased to see GoPro standing loud and proud with this fantastic message! Way to go!
I love this woman!! I've seen her in many documentaries and lil shorts. She's so knowledgeable in what she does. She knows her limits. I commend her and everything she does and I support her in everything that she does.
Keep on keeping on my lady!!
🐳🐬🦈🐠🦪🐙🦀🐧🦦🐚🐜
Thank you for rescuing these wonderful creatures!❤️❤️❤️
By watching this video, this woman has inspired me, and now I'm dreaming of doing the same work as she is doing, in the future. Yes, I have been to Marineland where they hold these whales in captivity, but seeing them perform in these tiny tanks has awoken me; now I'm dreaming of starting an Orca Sanctuary and studying them! This video is beyond fascinating and inspiring.
I will definitely work with you
she's a blessing on earth for the killer whales great job.
Dr. Ingrid Visser @2:58: "They have a part of the brain which is linked to empathy and compassion...'"
Me: *instantly thinks of video of Orca throwing seal in the air to kill it by impact*
at least they die instantly then get a nice moment of flying before they crash to death
I don't think they're trying to kill it by impact, I think they just wanna play with their food
@@zairoxpunkNot really, mb for late reply, they do that so they can stun their prey to decrease its chances of fighting back. Seals are very agile and got sharp teeth to bite back so that makes it less time consuming for the orcas since they gotta eat too. They don’t have a local supermarket, grocery store, or Walmart to go to like humans do.
I adore this woman✨💖🐠It is so beautiful how the whole Orca family stays next to the stranded one. True love💖
Orca are the most interesting animals for me.
1.) They're highly intelligent.
2.) They're able to somewhat understand humans.
3.) They have an entire section of the brain that we don't!
4.) They are only angry in captivity. You will never see an Orca that feels safe in the wild try to kill you for the sake of just killing you. Unlike some animals.
5.) We know just a tiny fraction about them. There are endless information about them that we do not know!
Wish we would stop capturing their young for the sake of money.
Hobbies include: Swimming with Killer Whales, Hanging out with Killer Whales, Dreaming about Killer Whales, Eating with Killer Whales, Talking to Killer Whales, Knitting with Killer Whales, Inviting Killer Whales over for brunch, Watching Killer Whales' baby daddy children, Game of thrones with Killer Whales, Helping Killer Whales move out of their apartments. Oh, and fishing................with Killer Whales.

Ingrid Visser is one of my favorite fellow countrypersons. Intelligent, humble, hard working and open. She's a fabulous teacher to young and old and she's the best ambassador for marine life this country has. A world class scientist, we are fortunate that her entire life is dedicated to these amazing animals. Instead of a fundraiser for a stupid exclusive wall, how about putting that sort of passion towards a sea sanctuary for captive orca?
Dr. Ingrid Visser we are forever grateful for all your services.
It's a shame that such intelligent animals are kept in captivity. I'm sure they're fantastic to see, but I'd MUCH rather see one in the wild and know that it is interacting with me by choice, than to see one in a cage at a place like sea world. We can make this change, just don't patronize zoos or aquariums where they keep these types of animals. If it's not profitable, they will stop doing it. It's clear that these animals are FAR more intelligent than humans give them credit for. I don't think we should cage them for our own entertainment, it just seems wrong.
Captivity is bad for any animal but science has learned a lot more because they are able to study these animals. I bet that we wouldn't know half the things we know about these creatures without studying them. Again I agree that captivity is bad for all animals but it also helps the research to keep these animals safe. We humans are very ignorant as a whole and I don't think people would care if some animals went extinct unless they saw it at a zoo and it said that we need to take care of these animals. It's not all black and white like orcas. To make a good argument you have to know both sides. Most people think that they know everything and that their opinion is valid above everyone else's opinion but you just have to consider both side of the argument.
you dont save the world by being a fcking princess
If I hear ONE more time that keeping animals in captivity is good for 'research,' or to keep them 'safe', I'll blow a gasket (which won't be pretty sight). Scientists have successfully been researching all types of animals in the wild for years now.
Scott R I have seen them in both settings on a whale watching boat in Alaska, it was so exciting and fun timing when they would surface to breath and the sound was amazing. But the heartbreaking sight of them confined in those little pools is terrible. You immediately know it’s wrong. I went to see Winter the dolphin with the prosthetic tail. Granted she can’t be turned loose but the tiny pool she was in was like a fishbowl. She was on the bottom and we never saw her come up. I think she is depressed. I am appalled that the Japanese are so lazy that they go kill and eat whales. Why doesn’t the UN do something valuable like stopping the Japanese.
I only go to non profit zoos and aquariums where I know they are being taken care of and are there for a good reason
What an exceptional human being. We need more of her.
Was fortunate enough to have met Ingrid at a whale stranding sadly, but the love she showed for not only orca but whales in general was astounding. She's always been someone I've looked up to from the very first day I heard of her work.
Such vital and important work, hats off Ingrid. No tanks, no cages.
oh my god they are so beautiful creatures,
Thank you Dr. Visser for your tireless dedication and passion. Orcas are my 2nd favorite animal after the African Elephant, having them in captivity is ignominious and SeaWorld is an abomination. This is not right people, these creatures do not deserve this garbage and are suffering. The rapacity of human beings is disgusting at all levels but when you take a creature of supreme intelligence and emotional depth and put them outside their natural world with no space and away from their families it is a criminal act, no doubt about it. Who gave us the goddam right to take these wonderful animals away from their playground?? They are fking apex predators that thrive in all oceans and live with their families their entire lives, their bonds are much closer than human beings. Every single person who works at Seaworld should be put in a cage and treated like a circus act. How do you think they would like it? We have people like Dr. Visser that have taught us all we need to know about these special animals, SeaWorld isn't teaching us anything other than greed and repulsiveness. It is my opinion that anyone who poaches an elephant or buys Ivory from those elephants should be given the death penalty with no trial. PERIOD. It is my opinion that those who are selling slow lorises, taking them from the wild in Borneo, and keeping them as pets should be imprisoned with torture for LIFE. And finally it is my opinion that everyone who works at SW, is associated with SW, or buys a ticket to SW, should spend the rest of their lives in a cage slightly more luxurious than solitary confinement. It is our responsibility as human being to know what is going on at these aquarium parks. With the exception of young children who do not know every single person that goes to these Shamu shows should be caged and treated like a slave.
you are a truly repulsive human being if you meant this in the slightest bit
Wow, must be such an honour to swim with these awesome creatures. Thanks for helping them and sharing this👍
I would honestly pay money to swim with a pod of those Orcas, just to have that experience of a lifetime 🥰 & I simply love this lady and her line of work. Wow ! & her job is ever ever so rewarding ✌🏾 & thanks for all of the tender loving care towards the Orcas ✌🏾 😘
She is an angel, Orcas are so lucky that she is on this earth
My family never had money to go to parks, but I always wanted to go to sea world. Never disney, never roller-coasters, I just wanted to see whales and marine animals so bad. Never got to go. Now I'm glad I wasn't able to.
Now that I'm an adult I have learned to hate the concept of animals held in captivity when they don't need medical attention.
Now the dream is to go on a whale watching trip to see wild whales.
Kaytie Buckhalt people always say we need zoos and aquariums so that people grow to love animals but you don’t have to see them like that to love them. Especially now when we have such amazing technology. Many people love animals and never get to see them
slone magyar exactly. When I was a kid, I had a book of animals, there were 90 pages, with around 4 animals on each, and even though I’d never actually seen any of them, i still loved them, and wished the best for them. Zoo teaches us that it’s okay to abuse animals.. it shouldn’t.. if we absolutely feel the need to have zoos, then it shouldn’t be where we come in, and see animals in captivity. It should be them roaming free, with us walking inside a cage, looking about at them, instead. If you want something, it shouldn’t benefit you only, and make another suffer. If you want something, then you have to suffer a bit too.
@@slonemagyar1034 What type of 'people' or person says that? Only people who have no empathy with animals would say such a thing, and frankly these people are not worth knowing.
Wow so cool!, in true i think its easy see then,i mean if you are a american or canadian there's orcas for there-
@@fanroderonwattpadandao3352 YES
Thank you for showing the orcas in their natural habitat. Not paying to see them in a pool . Beautiful video .
I love Orca so much! Thanks for all the effort to protect this magnificent beautiful creature!
I sincerely admire you, you're definitely the kind of beings we need in our world and an inspiration for this generation and the ones that are coming. Wish you all the luck and keep doing what you're doing. Love from Costa Rica
THIS IS AMAZING😍😍 so proud of people like this well done, and keep doing what your doing🙏
What a fantastic human being, restores your faith in mankind, incredible work and what dedication, long may the journey continue helping and studying these magnificent creatures 🐳
I live vicariously through people like the good Dr. and her crew. I'll never be able to do something like this so I'm glad for this post.
