- Enduring raging winds and icy waters with minimal protection, he enters the intimacy of elephant seals and orcas using clever ethological analyses and gets them used to his presence. Then comes the extraordinary: meet a man who communicates with penguins with body language, calms young seals and turns them into live pillows, lies underwater with 8 ton orcas or mature male seals...

I'd like also to salute the second cameraman, that we never see but who is here everytime, even in the water with the "hero"...
This comment is important
Delph Zouzou Because the documentary was specifically about the scientist's studies and interactions with the animals, not about filmography. In most documentaries you don't see all the people filming. I'm sure they're listed in the credits.
Must be a girl😍
@@kimnotloona Except that's not what happened. If the other person filming had also been a scientist doing research, and they _wanted_ to be on camera, I'm sure they would have been given camera time. That wasn't the case, so they were given recognition in the credits like every other documentary. No one is discounting their work just because their face wasn't shown.
Documentaries are different than movies, TV shows, CZcams videos, etc. People who film documentaries want their work to be recognized, not for themselves to be recognizable on the street. They may want both, but that's not why documentaries are made, and many photographers and cinematographers _don't_ like appearing on camera, that's why they work behind the scenes.
Specially when he's shots were way better than the shaky shitty shots our hero filmed lol
I knew elephant seals are big but seeing that guy close to them gives you a hell of a perspective 😮
W1ll P0w3R they can be 23 feet so u know
Yeah iv been up close and personal with a few while shopping at walmart.ha ha.and i keep at a safe distance too.
northern elephant seals are a lot smaller than southern ones
@Sara Hunter You trolling or not I still need to say that if you think someone saying hell makes or doesn't make them a cool dude just shows how insecure and immature you really are. btw go to hell.
They are Walrus....
I love how he can literally stand in the water while the orcas hunt seals, it shows that they really have no intetest in hurting humans. The only time they ever attack us if we put them in captivity and abuse them.
It’s completely asinine to think an apex mammal hunting predator wouldn’t give us a bite if it was hungry enough. Respect these animals and the threat they pose to us.
which time in the video?
@Dylan Hicks bro, they hunt great whites literally only for their liver. I don't think humans would be very nutritional for them..
@@Ghost-tw7xw If you put a hungry and desperate predator in a situation where a human is the only option for a meal it’s going to eat the human. Thinking they won’t because they “respect and understand us” is not showing the deference that nature deserves.
Only the polar bear sees humans as a source of prey among their other foods
Ok so when he was playing with the seal pup my heart just melted ! I can’t man ! 😢🥹🥹🥹
I adored the baby penguins following him around! How cute😍
Penguins have severe FOMO.
@@MrT67 9 let
Lol
Beautiful isn't it
The Pied Piper of Penguins! lol
When my daughter was 5 we went to park with bread to feed the ducks and vicious ass geese. They follow us back and forth. Now let me tell you... my daughter is the animal lover.. me the animal feared! They were following us and we got surrounded! I told my daughter to " RUN" as I left her and jump on the nearest bench.. true story no lie. That was 32 years ago. Today I LOVE ANIMALS!!
He really ran over to get a ringside view when the elephant seals started fighting. What a madman. Top camera skills
Fucking legend
They move like 3 mph. I'm pretty sure he was safe
That is the bit that got me. Insane footage.
The size of those things in comparison to him were incredible!
If I were to experience this documentary in real life, Id consider my life fulfilled.
It’s so beautiful
Get on a jet plane !!!!
Orcas are just incredible. Perfection in every way. My favorite animal forever
The part when he is playing and hugging the seals was just amazing.
Pretty sure everyone watching was rife with pure envy at that moment!
Sea dogs.
43:30 Time-stamped for your viewing pleasure. You are welcome.
@@fmills1583 Just re-watched. SO FRIKKIN' CUTE.

That was the best 52 minutes on CZcams that I've seen in a long time.
how many 52 minutes videos have you watched?
Watch “300 days alone”. Instead of Orcas, it about human basic survival on a remote island. One of the best videos ive seen in a long time
Nothing to do with wildlife but still a great documentary “Super Size Me 2”!!! They have the original Super Size Me, but even without watching the first one I watch the 2nd one first out of Curiosity I watched the first one Super Size Me, but that just gave me a back ground to #1 and did not find it necessary or as enjoyable as Super Size Me 2.
exactly !!
Just imagine penguins being aggressive and come at you in packs that would be a nightmare.lmo
No matter how many times I watch this and know it’s about the orca’s my heart broke for the elephant seal pup. Breaks my heart every time
Would you rather see the orca die or the elephant seal
elephant seal is ugly, strange and misogynistic
@@Zampierre i get really sick looking at them i have to turn away when there showing them
@@jackieguccione94 i guess that i was the only... they are so weird, sometimes i close my eyeis to don't see them
@@Zampierre absolutely
The Orcas in crystalline water swimming amongst swirling kelp was so moving and beautiful. How anyone can justify keeping these incredible creatures in captivity is beyond my understanding.
I know! People say nature is cruel. It's humans like that who are the real evil!
Agreed. They really suffer. I read a book that a SeaWorld trainer wrote. He said the Orcas get sunburn, the pool water is to warm and they get rashes, they are given anti acids for stomach ulcers. They bang their head's against the cement in the pool. They chew on the cement out of boredom. They break their teeth. A few whales have killed themselves from banging their heads against the cement really hard. They with hold food so they perform. They breed the female Orcas to early. Babies are still born. Or they take their baby away. The mom cries for day's. It's so heartbreaking.
It's the lack of understanding by others that makes them end up in cages. Not your lack of understand of ignorant people.
@@Bella-ht5jb9he3z Sounds like the series, The Handmaid's Tale. seriously!
What I don't get is why do wild orcas hunt dolphins? And they wound them and play with them like cats with mice
"Is she hoping to catch my seal friend?" paralyzed me. This documentary is truly wholesome because he put his feelings into it.
I can't take it!
More like, he puts a script into it. He knew damn well the answer to that fake question. He really poured on the "aw shucks mister" vibe. Seems any normal person's first thought playing with the seal under water is "this is NOT safe for you buddy" and wouldn't have encouraged play time in a death trap area, knowing full well the young seal was a rookie to the dangers of the sea and the killers in that immediate area waiting for a meal. I would have been nervous for the seal and wouldn't have distracted the seal by playing in a dangerous area, but likely this 'super nice guy' was thinking if it gets eaten it'll make epic up close footage.
Just makes it shit in my opinion :)
@@ikigai47there’s literally no such thing as “fake” questions
@@ikigai47He didn’t intentionally distract the seal, the seal came to him and played with him not the other way around.
This man aiming to research orcas but end up befriended a seal pup 💖 how adorable
This took my breathe away. The camera man is super brave. Fearless and intelligent, fantastic watch.
The fact he kept his tent in the beach in the elements was hilarious but also I think this man really wanted to be and feel what they felt. True dedication to the job.
38:33 He's not alone though they try to portray him as is.
You did notice that he's being filmed by a moving panning camera.
When does a "documentary" allow for acting, posing, fiction?
@@PaliAha What is fiction about filming the guy that's filming his subject? It just offers another first-person to third-person perspective- nothing more.
@@Optable , i got no problem w/the added perspective. Read the 1st poster's comment. He thinks this clown is doing things solo: "True dedication to the job" -- my ass.
@@PaliAha It made me laugh when the weather picks up and he says he needs to take shelter, and the cameraman was left outside filming him zipping up the tent. I call BS on him sleeping in that box too.
Luckily for him he wasnt in the path of a male elephant seal
I am an old man. I enjoyed your documentary, because it provides an escape from aches and pain for a visit with Orcas, elephant Seals, penguins and the peace and serenity tell me life is so precious. Thank you so much. Bob from Clearwater, Fl.
do you happen to remember Marty stauffers wild america? I LOVED that show when I was little.
Just wanted to say hi and I hope you’re doing well 💙 Xx
Enjoy!!!
Nice I used to live in new port richey
Hope you're doing well Bob! ❤ Jenna from NJ.
My favorite part is when the docu maker with camera man befriended the young elephant seals is so adorable! My heart warms a lot I goes to see that seals can also show the virtue of friendship toward humans.
This is my new favorite piece of filmmaking. Never in my life have I appreciated more cinema, documentaries or nature itself. Pure art. Thank you so, so much.
The lack of humans is what makes this documentary. Absolutely beautiful.
Humans are best species on the planet, and most beautiful as well, what we acomplished in science, culture , architecture, exploration canot be matched by anything on this planet.
@cristina Banuelos are you trying to imply that we arent?
Legija we’re also destroying this planet but yay humans
Of course, you're one of the GOOD humans, right? Dumbass.
@@trivunkonjik7413 that's only a very small percentage of people, most of humans won't accomplish anything notable in their entire life.
Damn now I can’t stop thinking about cuddling up with some seals. He legit read a book, took a nap and played with wild seals. Life goals
I remember a guy named Timothy who did the same with brown bears....
Bucket list, RIGHT!
Lol literally!!! I second that sir
yeah until a 6 ton heaping unit of absolute raw sexual aggression body slams you 6 feet under sand. those guy are huge.
And came within a few meters of Orcas.
This documentary has ended, I wish it never would. Makes me cry tears of joy, for watching these fabulous creatures. I love these animals, the orcas, penguins, seals, birds. How could any person harm them? It is really hideous. I hope these animals become protected, especially the orcas. Thank you so much for filming. Amazing work!
Not creatures pay attention!
Excellent documentary. Nature and the balance of it is so beautiful, yet so tragic. I could not stop crying for the baby orphan because he was so cute, and so innocent. He just became a victim of the circle of life and as sad as it is, it is also the very concept that keeps nature balanced.
Hope he gave it a good quick death
I like the squeaky sounds the orcas make. It's so cute
Also creepy making that cute sound when they are killing the seals.
It's not a "cute squeaky sound" its a highly sophisticated language that we can not under stand. We have researched the shit out of their language and have gotten nowhere. That "cute squeaky sound" is different from all other orca pods. Every orca pod has their own language and not one pod has the same language as another. Also the males never leave their mothers. Their whole lives they are no more than 10 ft from their mothers. If they get bullied by other male orcas. They'll stay on the outside of the pod. In which they'll eventually come back into it but pods never break or never fully kick out another orca. This is also why releasing them from captivity could have horrible results. They don't speak the same language as other pods so they wont be accepted in, only to their pod, which may be impossible to find
@@chakinfingerz947 Jeez way to turn an innocent comment into your little rant box. We're watching the docu, we already know this. Sit down and let some people comment on a squeaky noise that they enjoy.
@@icky7604 no where in my comment did I rant about something bad, or try to dismiss them from enjoying the sound. What someone tells you information of something and you're like, "No! Stop! I want to remain stupid!" fuck you and your negativity towards learning.
@@chakinfingerz947 Sorry for late reply, didn't see comment. When you add the quotations and stuff you sound passive aggressive. Once again, they're already watching to docu that says the info..Party pooper.
I didn't realize how dangerous and enormous the male elephant seals were until I saw the guy filming the fight scene. Great documentary.
And it's more scary that killer whales can eat them for dinner.

Hard to believe these killer whales arent fish but mamals

The orphan seal pup broke my heart. I'm a grown man , a veteran, a former boxer, that pup made me cry , my heart hurts. I can't watch the rest of this until later.
Beautiful documentary. It shows the truth of life in the wild, and also just how smart and conscious orcas are.
Now THIS is a top-notch nature documentary. So beautifully shot and narrated. Such a far cry from the mordern trend of egotistic hooligans who manhandle animals for ratings leaving then in distress. This is how it should be done. BRILLIANT 👌🏾
The Steve trend in Ego docs.
You called it!
Yanano Bere who exactly are you talking about
@@dasit1965 You really had to ask..?? 😕🙇
@@romb4649 im also wondering
One of my favorites was when he was scratching the seal's itch, took a nap & literally lying up against an elephant seal.
How kind. How human.
"How human". The signature of humanity ranges from the best to the most cruel and bestial behavior.
Why do we attribute "human" to kindness? The other animal world is full of accounts of 'kindness". And why do we think everything is out to get us and when it shows that it isn't...wow!...what a human-like behaviour? Humanity has shown such incredible deliberate cruelty towards every other species - and including its own- that we should be also then surprised when we are kind. Humans are like all other critters....some good and some bad and it is us that makes that distinction based on our own perception of the world - which I am sure is very different from a snail or an orca.
Gerry S - According to Atheist cult Priest Richard Dawkins, "there is no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but pointless indifference."
So in 'honor' of "atheism", which is absurd and truthfully to mock the absurdity of the notion of a lack of belief, let's all kill the whales, shall we? No such thing as evil according to Atheist Priest dawkins, remember?
Real Estate Unplugged you are taking something out of context and bending it to make a point of your own here about religion. I doubt Dawkins would agree with your depiction of his position. But moreover, Religion has nothing to do with this here.
Raph Ael - I came here to see the whales but the big question sprung up ☝. Are you with the Atheist cult master, Richard Dawkins?
Amazing documentary. People need films like this to remember our place in the world and our responsibility to protect it.
Amazing amazing amazing 👏👏👏👏
I love how the researcher is wondering what the whales think of him and the part of him chilling with all the penguins. The way he got upclose to that elephant seal fight! Wow what a great documentary
Exactly
I loved it when he took a nap with the baby seals, that was so cute!!!
Yes and it's truly the first time a can feel a sense of scale with those giants
The way he made the elephant seals look 15 stories tall instead of 15 feet while he was next to them lol. Amazing work truly
Narrator: "In orca society the young doesn't need to be told twice"
🤣🤣🤣
in human society even if serenata the word kids will do whatever they want
😂😂
In human society, even adults don't listen😂😂
that shade..
It’s an amazing documentary, but that’s actually not true! There is good documentation of orcas with childlike personalities that constants need to be corrected/saves up to a certain age lol
I have watched this same documentary multiple times and I never seem to get enough. I hope there’s a part 2 to his journey. If anyone knows if there’s a part 2, please link me in. Thank you ❤ Happy New Year everyone around the world 🌎
Such an incredible beautiful look into their lives, nature is so breathtaking and sad all at once, animals are so pure and accepting, the way they allowed the scientist to hang out with them was just amazing, i have so much emotion while watching this, just so well done
Who else thinks this Doc. should be titled: "A Man among Elephant Seals"?
OR... the man in the yellow tent. 😂
I thought that as soon as I seen him sleeping next to them LOL
then came down here to see if anyone else commented about it 🤣
That’s what exactly what I said when it was over lol
Smh
Featuring Orcas
Loved the orca rescue guy jumping in happiness
This is one of the most therapeutic nature documentaries that I have seen. It is informative and also very very calming. I watch it whenever I feel stressed, and suddenly am transported into another world. Really well done!
Exaxtly, same with me. Such a magnificent movie
I love Orca, they make the sweetest sounds ever and they are the wolves of the ocean ❤
“Hauling 4 tons of blubber on to dry land, only one thing is on his mind: Sex.” I take that statement very personally.
lmao
😂
We all bottom feed from time to time...
😂😂🤣lol
😂🤣🤣
The visuals of the abandoned, then orphaned, then rejected seal pup it's beyond heartbreaking. You can feel the little fellow's despair, he knows what's coming. He tried to follow his mother. His mother looks back towards her pup, she does not want to leave him, but she has no choice, her strength is gone.. Deeply sad.
I think it was the annoying whine that made the mom ditch it
Trippypuddin funny asf
The orcas probably got the mom.
@@onyxblak-roses6957 I think the vid implied that with the Orcas going after it and eating it. It's nature it's not only tough in the human world but the same for all animals in the Animal Kingdom
@@Anonymous38572 it must be great to live such a privileged life that you want for nothing, with an over full belly, sat lazing around watching TV all day and night wrapped up in cotton wool

This is better than BBC!!
Beside the amazing quality of the footage and of the editing, what an incredible empathy with the wild ❤.... not to mention diving with orcas, let's appreciate also the sincere serenity felt and spread among elephant seals and penguins.
The purity of your heart is so evident that it's recognized by the animals and arrive to us too.
What an incredible life you've deserved to live, men 👏👏
Thank you for sharing with us 🙏
Бесстрашный человек, живет в гармонии с природой и стихией.
I knew orca's were smart, but damn, they really do have their own culture. I'm stunned by this honestly, and also fascinated
Edit: Damnit, now I'm crying
I met a commercial fisherman in Alaska and he really respected the orca's, even though they would steal his catch, etc. In his view nothing else in the sea measured up for size, power and intelligence. It was nice to meet a guy, who despite the economic challenges the orca's presented, still thought they were of such great value and should be looked after. When he talked about them, you could see the smile on his face and how he treasured the occasional interaction.
I consider Orcas the 2nd most intelligent lifeforms on this planet.
2nd only to us.
Dave Crupel there just as smart as us if not smarter
@@keithzacek7692 and i love that. :)
@@davecrupel2817 The second most intelligent life form on this planet is a dolphin. They have an estimated EQ of around 5.26. For comparison a human has an EQ of 6.56 to 7.28 or higher. The EQ of an orca is around 2.50 or 2.61. Dolphins are extremely intelligent and are some of the only few animals that display self-awareness. Orangutans Are very intelligent as well with an EQ of around 4.5. Chimpanzees are better than humans in some memory tasks.
Goats have excellent long-term memory.
Elephants can work together.
Parrots can reproduce sounds of the human language.
Dolphins can recognize themselves in the mirror.
New Caledonian crows understand cause-and-effect relationships.
Scrub jays plan for the future.
There are many categories of intelligence. Many animals display different abilities of intelligence. Chimpanzees have a better memory than humans. I guess it all just depends on your interpretation of intelligence.
To this day, the animals sing of the strange human who moved in rent-free and never kicked in for food.
Underrated comment
Really loved the relationship between the seal and the man. Absolutely great documentary
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this because it took me far away from life's problems and into a peaceful realm.
I hope I find more quality stories like this in the future because we need them instead of the "look at me videos" filled with needless incessant chatter, crude lame jokes and personal opinions that litter this platform.
29:26 these orcas are headbutting each other like cats, I can't even... WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE!?
Lol ikr
Because they are a type of dolphin
they are cute until they follow u
It’s heartbreaking watching this seal pups orphan.
Omg i cant deal with it so sad poor baby
@MetraMan09 the fact is human food just doesn’t contain enough nutrients for its rapid growth. So it’ll eventually starve no matter how much food you give it
@@lyd-ch1148 Realistically speaking you could make a compound good enough to feed them for weeks but most don't want to interfere with the nature
Person is smart. He will feed this one but how many such babies like that on the beach. Sadly! It's natural selection. Heartbreaking to see but nature is wild.
@Miss Isle .... Are you insane? Nature is cruel? It is neither cruel nor benevolent. It just is a cycle. Humans have broken that cycle and defile every quarter inch of the world we step on with full on megafarms. Have you not seen Chernobyl? Humans did that, and nature reclaimed that human made catastrophe and will continue to lick the wounds humans inflict on the world. Give me a break.
Wow what a wonderful video! The encounters with the Elephant Seal, the birds, the sea lions, and the Orcas at the end, what an amazing experience, so nicely and uniquely documented to share with us. You made friends with them all! :-) Well done, and thank you for this. :-)
What a pleasure it was to experience this documentary. Thank you, for sharing this! I'd be thrilled to see more similar docs. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to explore them.
Too bad the Orca content is no more than 10% 🤣
The only thing bigger than the elephant seals is this guys balls for getting in the water with them Orcas. Respect.
Orcas aint dangerous towards men
Bram Steenhoek of course they fucking are. If they’re hungry enough they will gobble your ass up like a goddamn snack. Just cause there aren’t any recorded attacks doesn’t mean that it never happened.
Eustace King With how much bullshit you're talking, you would make an excellent farm.
There have been only 2 recorded orca attacks on humans in the wild and none were fatal. The ones that resulted in human deaths occurred in captivity.
Are orcas physically capable of devouring a human? Yes
Do they do it? No
And here’s why: They know exactly what they are looking for, to eat; just as you may look at an apple tree, and choose to eat the apples and not the leaves of the tree. Around the world, there are Orcas that like to eat sharks. Others like to eat sting rays but not fish. Others like seals and fish, but not sharks. There are Orcas that eat almost exclusively whales; Gray Whales, Bowhead, Beluga, even the unicorn-horned Narwhal.
None of them like humans, because they have not been taught that humans are food. Unlike other apex predators like lions and others, they do not go after anything and everything that moves. They have been taught what to eat, by others in the pod, by their parents, by their grandparents. Why did the word get around that humans are not food? It’s very possible that they would have trouble with our bones. Our long bones are longer and thicker than any other animal that they do entirely consume. They don’t have to get a bone stuck in their throat to understand that something with these long thin appendages might not go down easily. They can see we are alien looking, and things that aren’t fat and compact are not attractive… don’t look scrumptious. Obviously, they can’t swallow us whole. That would leave two options; crunching us up, which would create sharp bone splinters that would be dangerous in their throat… or, they could bite the meat from around our bones, as they do with prey such as walruses, or large whales. Clearly, we aren’t big enough, muscular enough, or blubbery enough to allow them to do that. So… the bottom line is… we are not on their menu. We don’t make a good meal, and in fact, trying to eat us may be dangerous if they try to chew us up. At Thanksgiving Dinner, we don’t just eat an entire turkey… it has bones that would harm us if we did that. We cut the meat off. Orcas don’t chew us up, for the same reason. And they can’t cut (bite) the meat off. So, once again… we are not on their menu.
@@orcawithdrip827 I think they understand that humans are really smart and a possible threat to them so they act friendly to us.. I've seen a lot of orcas showing their belly to human which is a friendly sign.
Disturbed Orca Okay, but would you jump off the boat and into a group of orcas looking for food?
I for one am glad you befriended the baby seals. That orphan had me in tears. I also was yelling at you a bit during the fight. You were so small and so close. This was great.

i felt so bad for the baby seal that got rejected by everyone..
Ču Me I cried lol. Poor little guy.
It broke my heart
Me too
Nah
@@riptidev10 not sure you can blame natural selection here: the phenotype of this baby seal has not much to do with the fact it was eliminated while other babies were selected. It's more about population regulation by predators (here orcas). Or what survival mode is about: those mothers are simply doing their duty of protecting the life of their own baby.
@SUN OF GOD As humans most of us are blessed to no longer know what survival mode is about. But many of us experienced the pain of feeling rejected while we needed help. And that's what gets triggered by such images. So if you find yourself saying "Bitch !" to those animals, just take 1 min to think about who you are really saying it to, because you are clearly projecting you own drama on those animals that are simply struggling to survive.😟
The work this guy does as well as the relationships that he builds with the wildlife is truly remarkable 💪🏾👍
this is incredible, best nature documentary ive seen. The way he connected with both species its trully breathtaking and the orcas intelligence never stops to amaze me
Blackfish also is a beautiful documentary

What a beautiful documentary. The wildlife were very inquisitive of this hooman staying on their land. Loved the interaction with the seals. Orcas have every right to be wary of man, but the matriarch showed through her own fear and then wisdom, to learn to trust the man. They truly are magnificent creatures!

After seeing how those seals treated the orphaned pup it made it a lot easier to watch them in the water surrounded by orcas. The eyes of the seal looking around for the next bite or blow from the orcas is a vivid image in my mind but made a lot easier after the poor pup was attacked.

Not enough elephant seal twirking.
It's my third time watching this. The first and second was on Television.
What a beautiful documentary! Thank you so much. One can feel his passion about the animals and their environment❤️
Beautiful❤️
Narator: "This male is staking out his territory even though it hasn't found any single mate."
Seal: "The fuck did you say about me, man!?" *charged at him*
He was really offended 😂
lmao
Exactly!! Rofl!! 😂
the disrespect lmao
Basically Orcas are literally the mob the ocean. The boss music that plays everytime the orcas showed up lol. He went there to bond with the orcas but ended up bonding way more with the seals. The orcas were just too gangster 😭
🤣🤣
@Jeremy Marsh huh ❓
@Jeremy Marsh What does this have anything to do with job interviews? Freaking weirdo
@Jeremy Marsh And you can't watch a video without getting hung up over a simple comment. What's your problem, old man?
@Jeremy Marsh Yeah, you're so "smart" that you waste your time & intelligence by being a d*ckhead on the internet.
this doc is so full, i felt like i watched an entire season
Beautiful Documentary, dude just nailed it.
I like how nature has this balance and everyone has their place. It’s so funny how the penguins are walking about near this massive elephant seal and just get on with their day. It looks so sweet.
Wonder if leopard seals ever set foot on this island. Or any kind of sharks, like the mako or white sharks since they are sorta "warm blooded" and can hunt in colder waters other sharks would be killed by. Any thoughts?
The sharks would probably be eaten by the orcas. Well, just their livers
@@CoreyMillionaire2029not with all those orcas around
Lol none of these animals seem to give a shit that he's there lol. That bird standing on the crate as he's getting out of it just doesn't care.
They're busy dude, just look at them! 100% focus 24/7 laying on the beach working their asses off.
Because they can all fuck him up.
Including the bird.
@@hothotheat3000 Bird up
That was the best 52 minutes on CZcams that I've seen in a long time.
@@hothotheat3000 Lol😂
I have always been and continue to be immensely grateful for the contributions of science and scientists. The tireless efforts of individuals like David Reichert and the entire team behind this remarkable documentary deserve our utmost admiration. Their work has resulted in the creation of a truly precious film that we can now enjoy and learn from.
I can't help feeling in deference to the people who engaged in the creation of this rare unique, & ineffably singular doc. In particular, I'm in utter awe to the 2 photographers who also happen be undersea ones, cause they spent 4 long & hard months w/ an infinite patience in order to procure these incredible & indelible momentous shots one after another in the face of some perilous conditions at such a bleak, desolate, & inhospitable island. They are truly valiant, gritty, & courageous but also thoughtful, gentle, & discerning that all the wild animals love them. That David's moment intermingling w/ the seal taking a little nap w/ it as his own pillow & playing underwater until the Orca approached near them gave me a favorable & impressive impact on me. My heartfelt sincere gratitude not only the two but also to the entire post-production crews such as a script writer, a narrator, editors, the background music creator, etc.. ( W/out them, it seems unable to accomplish to become such an unrivaled, unparalleled, & nearly incomparable resplendent & sublime doc. Thanks for reading my rather lengthy comment,,,,,From California,,,,,(07/19/23)
People that dislike animal documentaries are weird.
Wonderful!
Re-fukntardz
I have to watch a animal documentary before I sleep
They probably don't believe animals exist or something stupid
Maybe they like a vegan dokumentation about plants .😁
This is such an extraordinary documentary!!! one can only wonder the amount of courage needed to live there in such harsh environment and for 4 LONG MONTHS, amidst potentially dangerous animals. thank you for the hardwork, David, Jean-Francois and team!!!
Id live with u for 4 harsh months. That makes me braver then him...MARRYMEPLZZZZ

The dominant male(me): You are trespassing my domain, this is a warning. Get lost.
@@GinoNL anyone who calls themselves a dominant male in the youtube comment sections is deffently not a dominant male. That much i can promise you
jetpack johnny Let me get this straight; you promise me something that has to do with my personality and you don’t even know me.. you seem like a bright guy
I'm a penguin "peip peip peip"
One of THE best documentaries I have ever seen.
Should have been called massive steel balls among killer whales
I have literally watched this video over 50 times. I just love orcas. There should be more vids on CZcams like this...
Me too they are my favorite animal
Ikr love orcas also and dolphins i really wanna touch/pet one of each
@@sabrinacole9524 Haha no you don't. They will probs kill you for fun. They're sadly alot like us and kill things for fun.
Watch blackfish
@@someguyyouknow1635 "Us"? You mean you? Right?
Orcas are so amazing. I'm convinced they are one of the most intelligent species on the planet, along with us, other dolphin type mammals and octopus.
William Thomas Ramey isn’t it amazing how our intuition tells us they are super intelligent? they are actually the second most intelligent being besides humans which is amazing and it is quite clear why they have been dubbed the second most intelligent being, they are so human like, yet so alien which is pretty beautiful and call me crazy but there is such a connection to them and it makes me wonder if we have a deep past with them perhaps or something even more complex and I suppose that might play into the aquatic ape theory (it’s a really intriguing theory that is about as credible as the standard theory of human evolution, Look it up)but setting that aside even still, it’s astonishing this connection that we have to them and even your run of the mill dolphin, they even help us fish for Christ sakes! Also, sorry for such an essay but I have been very interested in this subject recently. Cheers man.
Toxic Waffle they aren’t the second smartest though? Like I know thats a very debatable subject, most of the time internet pages choose bottlenose dolphins as the second smartest
William Thomas Ramey elephants, too...(edited: elephant brain largest land animal brain at 3x size of human.)
Adrián Medina yeah i saw that too and it’s hard to judge the “intelligence” of anything, I’m not sure why I haven’t changed/taken down my comment because I don’t really agree with what I said although I do still think orcas are very “intelligent” creatures
And elephants
Thank you for making this amazing documentary free to watch, and with cc too! 🙏
I love documentaries like this! Thank you!
this documentary is truly awesome not because the cameraman is bold and gets as close as 5 feet to orcas and male elephant seals but he puts his feeling into it "is he going to catch my seal friend" a truly chill person with animals and life itself
