Killer Whales Attack Bottlenose Dolphin at the Beach in La Jolla!

- For the second time in less than a month, these Eastern Tropical Pacific Killer Whales successfully hunted a coastal bottlenose dolphin less than 100 yards from the beach in La Jolla, San Diego. While still an incredibly rare sighting for this area, this specific pod has seemingly taken a liking to Southern California this winter. It's unknown if and when this pod will be seen again, but myself and the Gone Whale Watching team will be ready with cameras in hand for when they return!

Incredible footage!!! One thing that surprised me is how strong the dorsal is, and even it can change the direction the dolphin is going in such a major way.
YES! I was in awe at how quick those giants can change direction and turn right around on a dime!
Poor dolphin, but those orcas are incredible and just beautiful. This footage was beyond amazing especially with all the different angles, perfect! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Really appreciate the feedback 🤙🏻
Even more sad or strange, orcas are also dolphins
Hard to decide what Is more impressive....mother nature at our doorstep or your talent......❤@@DolphinDroneDom
@@drd6893 It’s not really strange; it’s pretty common in nature for larger predators to hunt and consume their smaller relatives. Birds of prey, felines, mustelids, canids, reptiles, fish, And even primates exhibit this same type of behavior.
Incredible footage however, it would be so much better with the actual sounds of nature rather than dramatic music
They are apex predators of the oceans, so this is to be expected. Still, watching them hunt is breath-taking. Incredible footage.
Dolphins are no more angelic than the tuna they chew on
@@hexane8 Don't recall I ever said they were "angelic". But smart predators? Certainly.
Their situational awareness is incredible, to be able to co-ordinate these attacks without bumping into each other, and even distracting the dolphin with their movement to set up another pod member for an attack (0:26). Can't deny their intelligence.
True!
Orca for us president!
We can see why they need to be in a group... A single orca would struggle to catch a dolphin.
Yeah they never would only a sneak attack would be possible
They aren’t struggling, they’re playing and teaching. They do it to seals and penguins too. They throw the prey around to weaken it for the learning ones
@@JenAngel21In fact they really struggle. I’ve seen a video of orcas taking HOURS to kill a male sea lion (they even needed to regroup and rest in the meantime). “Apex predator of the earth”
Sorry but Orcas are one of the fastest creatures in the ocean look it up . And regular Dolphins prey on the Bottlenose Dolphins.
@@JenAngel21 Actually dolphins are faster than orcas, so yes they need to be in group and they struggle to chase it
These few minutes of a dolphin's life must be terrifying and do painful😢
Orcas really are a$$holes. They could just kill that dolphin......but they like making a sport of it. That one dolphin ain't gonna feed them all, but they all join in just to make a game out of it.
The Great White.....just show up and kills you.
Orcas are like Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction. They want to show up, eat your burger, drink your soda, scare the hell out of you, read you a cryptic bible verse and THEN kill you
😂
Same as the animals that dolphins played with
@@SAN-bi2vm yeah....but Dolphins are smart enough to know what's happening
Instead of watching this why didn't anybody do anything. Like I would have slammed something against the boat or something or hit the boat for loud noise under the water. This is so heartbreaking and I love My Orca's but I will not just stand there and watch them hurt this dolphin that doesn't bother No1 😢😢😢 I can't believe ppl would just stand there and record and watch.
Dolphins : why you did that? We came from the same ancestor 😢
Orca : hehe we didnt learn history yet 😂
Wow, how do you escape that as a dolphin. Incredible coordination.
Definitely no easy escape 😮
@@DolphinDroneDom😪🥺
They're such AMAZING animals! 😍
Yes they are!
@@DolphinDroneDom thank you SO much for the video, they are VERY BEAUTIFUl
They expect the dolphins’ acrobatics, and they have orcas waiting to intercept them mid-air. Amazing 🤯
Poor dolphin 🐬 but it is part of life and orcas are beautiful creatures too 🤗🥰👋👍
That really sucks , it hurts to watch but it’s sadly a reality, they are both amazing creatures, it’s just hard to wrap the brain 🧠 around 🙏🌅
got to eat
@@DAViDD767 That's true but there's plenty of other food in the ocean Orca know how intelligent dolphins are I think it's akin to A Chinese person eating a Swedish person That makes me Sick just thinking about itNot all dolphins are eaten by orca there are orca pods who are much more emotionally intelligent and don't eat their smaller cousinsThis pod acts like a bunch Of heartless psychos Very few orca pods eat dolphins or whalesThis pod is just a bunch of a holes
Just so awesome! Your footage is on point! Not one bad angle! Thank you for all the work it took to bring this amazing sight to us! I can't imagine what it was like in real life!
Nature can be brutal. The dolphin was out gunned and out numbered. It didn’t stand a chance.
This was incredible, thank you for posting!
Красивые кадры про косаток. Косатки не только красивые и умные, но и сильные создания. Бедного дельфина жаль.
Dolphins can be and have been cruel to their female species and Orcha are their judges.
@@Davidsavage8008не верю
They work awfully hard to get their prey. You would think that it would be so much easier to attack like sharks do. I don’t know a lot about Orca’s but I have always wanted to go on a whale watching trip.
They teach the young how to hunt. They normally play around with the prey to get it tired so the young can practice on it
i feel like they're only using 20-40% of their energy on these hunts. barely any effort just booping and knocking them tf out bc of the immense size and weight different. minimal effort. almost like conserving energy for other things? lazy? prehaps.
@@nepq1of1 I think that you are correct, especially if the pod is larger they wouldn’t have to give it 💯
@@Samsquench definitely.. these guys are way too smart
@@nepq1of1 I think they work really hard cause dolphins are way faster, otherwise they wouldn’t need all that effort (leaps, chasing,…) to take him down.
Thanks a lot for this amazing footage and for sharing it ! You're always doing a great job, please keep going !!
Not very fair theres like 5 orcas and one dolphin…
There's no such thing as "fair" in nature.
Your documentaries and videos are just fascinating, thank you so much 😊 I love Orcas and this is pure joy for me.. your editing it’s impeccable
Is it possible the Orca were playing with that Bootlenose Dolphin? Admittedly in a very rough way. But I don't understand why the Orca didn't bite when they had the opportunity? Did you witness the end of the encounter?
Orcas generally beat their prey Into defenselessness or unconsciousness before they consume it.
Quizás si se lo comieron. Nunca trabajaría cómo fotógrafo en la selva africana. Ellos deben tomar fotografías o hacer videos con el compromiso de no intervenir en lo más mínimo en la cadena alimenticia. Es la realidad.
Astonishing and also confronting footage.
My heart goes out for the dolphins but you xant escape the beauty and coordinate of the killer whales. 🙌🏻💚🇨🇮
Oooo my goodness!!!!
Intense stuff!!
Orcas are so bad ass!!
Incredible footage
Oof, I know this is nature, but I don’t like my Shamus messing with my Flippers like that.
But still, incredible footage! It’s amazing to see how intelligent and fearsome these animals can be. Should probably give pause to all these free divers thinking they’re off the menu for orcas.
Gawd dayum!
Killa Whales are straight SAVAGES!
That Dolphin got GOT!
Shiiii
Have a burger lately?
So sad to see..... Yet, that is life and death.
Dolphin fighting for its life there
Sacre bleu!
In true internets fashion I thought we all should know my opinion on Orcas…They’re Underrated!
this isn’t hunting, this is orcas showing us how to tenderize your meat.
😅
Poor dolphin😢
To sice ano
Ale kosatky stejně jako kočky zabíjejí šokem.Timto způsobem pokud delfín uteče má větší šanci přežít, kdyby do něj kousli a on uprchl tak by stejně nepřežil.Takhle tu šanci má.
Navíc když ho zažívá budou trhat je to nehumální ještě víc.
Taky to zavolá ostatní predátory a to by pak nebyli dobrý.
Takhle je to přijatelnější
Oh that’s sad, I thought they were friends in the sea? 😢
Lmaooo. Wait until you see a bird eat the head of a mouse. 😂😂
@@Dolcevita_bakes unfortunately there called killer whale for a reason😔theyl kill humans out swimming in the sea or kayaking theyl ram into the kayakes to get to you though they usually don't bother were not enough of a meal but will try kill you even if not to eat matting season or if to close to there baby's some no apparent reason. Tho there usual meals are seals huge whales sharks even great whites &sadly a lone stray dolphin dolphins are usually to fast to smart&in large groups to bother as dolphins look out for1another
Poor dolphin..😢
I know it's nature but I cant help but feel heartbroken seeing a dolphin killed and killed like that they must be petrified 😢💔
Dang dolphins going full race war in full display
They slapped it around like a rag doll 😮💨
He is so out numbered 🥺
I think it was a training exercise for the younger orcas. Poor dolphin had no chance. I don’t even think they ate it.
Super cool! How many individual impacts were you able to get? Absolutely incredible, thanks!
How would u do those vdos so beautifully wih every angle? Just amazing 😍
Part of the music low key sounds like the Bowser music from Mario 64 😅
Clearly filmed and in slow motion . A full array of techniques easily observed.
Sensitive - or new to nature video - viewers may faint . . .
When your cousins come over for dinner.
Don’t dolphins usually run in packs? How was this dolphin left alone?
that's not attacking; that's playing...very roughly...
The thing that's sad here is that orcas don't eat bottlenose dolphins. They are murdering this smaller dolphin for fun.
Orcas absolutely do eat dolphins. Every pod has it's own unique dietary preferences. Some specialize in hunting and eating dolphins.
Really? I guess either way that’s what they do and it’s not out of malicious intentions like when humans do it to animals. Animals are just being animals in the wild as sad as it is.
@@jakewkayakfishing8457 do they? Well regardless, I know it's been observed and documented that orcas do kill for pleasure, which I find disturbing. It's like the smarter a species becomes, the more likely it is to kill just because it feels like it.
@@Dolcevita_bakes I find it more disturbing when animals (and humans) kill for fun. That's what weirds me out about orcas.
This is disinformation. Orcas do eat dolphins! We have known that orcas feed on marine mammals for literally thousands of years, hence their ancient name "whale killer". Seriously, all you would need to do to learn the truth is a simple Google search or a quick browse of Wikipedia, so there's no excuse. There are many communities of orcas around the world with their own preferred foods. Some orcas don't eat dolphins, but these ones do. Don't accuse them of being "murderers" when they're just trying to eat; that leads to people demonizing and wishing harm upon them. The Navy used to do target practice on orcas because people like you called them monsters. They are some of the most amazing animals on planet Earth, and without apex predators like them bottlenose dolphins would be overpopulated and deplete fish stocks that other species, such as pinnipeds, rely on. Bottlenose dolphins are awesome too, don't get me wrong, but orcas (which actually are a species of dolphin) are just as important as them.
The bottle nose dolphin didn’t stand a chance against a pod of killer whales. I have seen the same where the dolphins have attacked a killer whale. They can be just as ferocious. Amazing footage.
Why don't they just bite it? It seems like they waste more energy trying to secure their food than their food is actually worth
Orcas like to have fun. This is fun.
ھجوم الاوركا مثل ھجوم الذئاب : خطط نسق تمرن نفذ .. اذا لم تَفترس تُفترس ..
😭🙏🫣Facts of life
🤔Small snack for 2 huge whales
🙏I’m glad to see them free….not in captivity
@0:30 you can see their tactics in which they box in the dolphin, only for a trailing Orca to come from below and make the strike?
they are such amazing hunters. Their strikes are so perfectly timed. There's just no where to run because they know where you will be before you know where you are going
But why they seems not hitting the dolphin? Could it be they're just playing with it?
Creo que no se lo comieron, el delfín por algo está cerca
Are you the same people that run gone whale watching in San Diego? If so did you see this on one of your tours? I've ridden with GWW and they're awesome !!
It's a massacre. Wildlife is cruel and this epic music sounds nonsense.
This is Dolphin on dolphin crime
The cycle of life!
Think the dolphins were from a different gang
Teaching the calf to kill. So cute. ❤
Amazing 👌🏾 🙌🏽
Whale Killers not Killer Whales. These belong to the dolphin family and are NOT whales. Whale Killers is the name given to them by sailors after witnessing them in action hunting whales, something no other sea predator is capable of. However, I prefer Orcas.
The dolphin was out maneuvering them there were just too many & I'm sure the poor dolphin was worn out from jumping out of the water so many times. Sad to watch but that's nature's food chain.
as sad as it may seem, this is nothing compared to how humans butcher animals for food, and sometimes being cruel to animals for no reason at all
Muita emoção com as criaturas de Deus lindo demais ❤
They really need to stop playing with their food first. So many times they could have eaten the dolphin.
I love the look of Orcas but I much prefer dolphins. 🐬 I’m glad I didn’t see him/her eaten.
dolphins and orcas both might have good reason to ram each other, assuming dolphins sneak up and ram orcas, when all is peaceful, sudden indigestion, i hate when that happens
probably didnt even eat dolphins after all that
They most certainly did
شكرا جزيلا لك على هذة اللقطات الجميلة
0:51 bro missed his special attack 💀
You're going to need a bigger boat 😬
This makes me so mad 😡! It’s like killing a deer 🦌 only to eat 1/10th of the whole food source available!
These predators hunt dolphins 🐬 & sharks 🦈 just to eat their livers
So striking is a more lethal tactic for orcas than biting.
How are orcas beautiful? I thought A flower or A woman is beautiful 😊
You are ignorant. A 7 year old
They toyed with that poor dolphin
Orca are beautiful and majestic apex predators. They’re also very friendly, playful and gentle towards humans. They don’t have the privilege of going to the store for packaged meat and therefore must hunt for their food. I wish they would make La Jolla their permanent residence and help us to reclaim the Children’s Pool.
What's goin on with the children's pool? A sea lion tried to hump my wife there once
No blood? No bites? Maybe just training or playing?
Mean whales
You don’t eat?
can you imagine a ton animals going full force into your abdomen. gg.
I want a tee shirt......❤ !
How many Californians are going to leave California because of this hate crime😂😂
Kopelbaligina da bunu yapabilir mi?
Wolves 🐺 of The Sea 🌊
La Joya where exactly? Which country?
Killer whales are low-key thugs, aren’t they? Poor dolphin. 😢
Eat shark liver, orcas. Not dolphins. Might be the way of life but it’s still sad.
they are not to be messed with
Horrific. Brutal.
They are eating there little cousin.
Why this music :)
Bello da vedere ; certamente le orche sono animali bellissimi e super intelligenti ( fanno squadra) cmq mi dispiace molto x il povero delfino. Ah... una curiosità a quanto pare c'è un animale x il quale le orche lo evitano ; è il capodoglio adulto.
Horrible. Aren't dolphins faster than these whales?
Did they eat him? 😢
😳oye amigo creo que unos de tus videos fueron borrados si no temolesta
Orcas are the Defense Team of the sea 💯
Shamu assassinating flipper.
Uhhhhh, Orca's are dolphins.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The orcas are the lions of the ocean
