Queens, narrated by Angela Bassett, is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu www.disneyplus.com/browse/entity-b71e9894-d795-46c3-8d80-207e1c06bade?cid=DTCI-Synergy-NatGeo-YT-Acquisition-Library-US-NatGeo-NA-EN-TH-cam-Queens-NA
The way the shark is trying to watch the orca circling it was incredible. Normally we know the sharks are the ones circling the prey and analyze the situation but in this case it's the other way around and that's spooky. This old lady is 60 years old and this is normal for her, because now the rest fo her pack feasts on the predator which is nothing but food on the menu after that brutal impact. It's like getting rammed by a truck at full speed.
I've always thought orcas are natures equivalent to when you create a character in an RPG game, then use cheats to max your stats and become overpowered. They're big, extremely powerful, fast, intelligent AND hunt in coordinated packs???!!!! Talk about game breaking.
@@Romulan2469 Probably because our perceived understanding would expect that kind of power and accuracy out of an animal that's younger. However, nature does not care for age in the same way we do.
@@Romulan2469 well the narration said something about the calf’s mother will then be ready to mate again and the grandma was doing for one of her sons 😬😬
Orcas are absolutely insane. The intelligence they have. Everyone wants to know what dogs are thinking. I’d give anything to have a conversation with orca. Can you imagine the knowledge you learn from it.
You and an orca wouldn't have a chance of understanding each other even if you both spoke the same language. The context of your lives would be too different. Now, if you're talking about an orca who turned into a human at 35 years old and you're having a convo with it when it's 70, maybe you'd have a wild, mind blowing chat. But just a convo with an orca who speaks English? Nah
For those of you who are confused by the narrator's last sentence: Some shark species (particularly Great Whites) need to constantly swim forward to push water through their gills so they can breathe. If they stop, they suffocate.
@@darthex0 they don't have ' ribs ' but they have something similar looking, called ' Gill arch ' which is made of cartilage. Shattering those will cause the shark to be unable to breathe👽.
You can certainly appreciate how orcas are more friendly than Sharks too. Any wild animal can be friendly in the right environment. But a cruel world makes it unlikely.
Honestly crazy that it even snuck up on a shark with their electroreception abilities. Must’ve been in a really docile, almost numb state at that moment. Usually it’s the shark who ambushes a dolphin.
@@AG-wn8tc lol thats an insane jump in conclusion, the only thing that is clear is that the underwater shots and the drone shot are not from the same scene
Imagine the physics that allow the orca to take on that force with its snout/face! She essentially head butted an 18 wheeler going 60mph(?). . . and "walks" away. The engineering of that body to absorb and disperse the kinetic energy of that force is wild!
@@andread5560??? Of course fish have bones lol. That is the feature that seperated them evolutionary from the other marine life. Lobed-fin fishes are the predecessors of all vertebrae on land. Its just that sharks are from a different class called chondroichtyes (cartilaginous fish) along with rays and chimeras.
@tsioko98 no. We must be quite more precise. The fish are divided into two groups , bone fish and cartilaginian fish. The shark is a cartilaginian fish. The orca is a mammals with bone.
Wow, that was like watching a loaded freight train at 60 mph slamming into a semi tractor/trailer stalled on the railroad crossing. BAM, done and gone.
@@6XXBANSHEEXX8 that's how everybody gets experience, if you're not a know-it-all you won't give it a try since it's gonna sound too difficult/dangerous... It's a feature, not a bug.
I had to rewind the video a couple of time to realise the speed of that grandmom. My God...the shark would have been pulverized. Like an underwater anti-tank shell. Fabulous footage, Nat Geo.
@@Robot-i1v I think the sharks initial response was adrenaline. And the internal injuries were too much for it to do anything else after it's defensive turn, just after the original strike it took.
This is Sophia, a remarkable individual believed to be approximately 60 years old according to scientific estimates. Additionally, we have L25 Ocean Sun, estimated to be over 90 years old. Ocean Sun belongs to the Southern Resident orca community and primarily sustains herself on a diet of salmon. Lastly, we have T018 Esperanza, another fascinating individual estimated to be over 68 years old. Esperanza is a part of the mammal-eating Bigg's orcas group. Orcas possess not only immense strength but also remarkable intelligence. Their limbic system, a collection of brain structures responsible for emotions, memory, and behavior, is exceptionally advanced.
Orcas intelligence never fails to amaze me. The fact that they can tell the difference between humans and the other sea creatures that they can prey upon is exceptional. Imagine if they think that we could be food for them, how terrifying can that be?
Another example of how intelligent they are, I'd swear they somehow have understood attacking people would be a very bad idea for their survival as a species.
Nah, if Orcas preyed on one too many humans they'd wind up extinct. Orcas are intelligent thus they understand what the crazy insane human invasive species can do. They've witnessed us at war and understand what subs, ships planes and missles can do. We destroy whole species just by accident and it's a rare few (mostly insects and Florida pythons 😂) that could survive an intentional human onslaught.

Orcas are one of a few mammals that can recognize itself in a mirror. When they placed mirrors in tanks Orcas were in they had would come up to the mirror and stick its tongue out because it had never seen its tongue. Amazing mammals.
And they have been able to outwit large commercial fishing vessels’ tactics/strategies to try to prevent the Orca from “stealing” it’s long-line fish catches.
Wow that angle change at 0:17 was just on point. Shark didn't realize till last moment the Orca was coming at it. I am sure it felt movement, but the slight direction change.
@@LouiseHultcrantz then look into the insane number of sharks who are caught, have their fins cut off and are then thrown back into the sea to drown or bleed out. It's horrific what humans do to sharks.
Those things are wicked smart. I remember being called out at sea world back when i was a kid. That thing came up out of the water, stuck his tongue out , showed me its teeth and then it kissed me. Scared me half to death.
An orca actually mistook a diver in California for a seal because of his dark wetsuit. One bite and it spit him out. We don’t taste good to orcas. Not enough fat content.
They are intelligent and learning as a species , not just individuals , they pass on what they have learned to others . They have recently learned how to get a tasty meal from Great Whites and have already started targeting boats and its only a matter of time before humans are on the menu .
wouldn't it be amazing if, instead of imposed artificial recreative sound and heavy music, the video was left to just the sound of an open ocean... which consists of a little wind and waves and literally nothing else... so we could appreciate nature as it is, spacious, barren, stark and exposed... and not through the bias of our senses, values and projections?
Orcas are the ultimate evolution of sea lives: beautiful, powerful and intelligent. Individually, they are already apex predators, but together as a group, they are unstoppable force of nature hunting down the largest animals of the oceans.
But also don't just use intelligence for the kill... Which is just as amazing for me. In Australia a humpback was caught in ropes. Instead of killing it, the orcas freed it from the nets. We might be attributing human emotions to another species... But their brains do have regions that correspond to empathy and emotion in humans.
I think when we talk about human emotions I think we need separate the raw feeling from the cognitive function. The closer other animals are to us in terms of having social structure the more likely it is they feel much of what we feel. So for example I have no doubt in my mind that wolves or orcas or other ape species feel the base emotions like the Pixar movie Inside/Out (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear & Disgust). I tend to think these emotions probably filter all the way down to less complex animals - I know scientists have studied the purpose of laughter by tickling rats (joy) and they are prey animals so certainly feel fear. The idea of human emotion as I see it becomes two fold - first, what are emotions that truly only humans feel (like do other animals have nostalgia or ennui?). The second part is cognitive capabilities that induce emotions rather than simply existing in the moment? Like humans can read a book and have feelings driven by higher level thought. Like I'm pretty sure only humans can feel existential dread by imagining a zombie apocalypse or feel hopeful and inspired after humming the Superman theme. I'm sure because I don't believe other animals have the cognitive abilities to imagine things that don't exist - including writing fiction or creating multi-instrument musical pieces.
Sharks need to swim constantly to pass water through their gills where the oxygen exchange happens. So if they cant swim they dont get oxygen and suffocates. The orca will hold the shark under to suffocate it to death.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy unlike the shark the orcas have lungs like humans. They can hold their breath under water for 15 mins. My guess would be it will probably hold the shark motionless or flip it over. Most Sharks cant move when they are flipped over. Also looks like the orca already damaged one side of its gills anyway. The shark will also have to actively take water through its mouth and direct it towards its gills rather than swallowing it to get oxygen. Looks like the shark is already too damaged to do so from that blow.
possibly just a trend from some youngsters from a pod that live along the Iberian coast and Mediterranean sea. They only attack sailing yachts ...and if they sink them, they leave the humans escape unharmed in the small dingy boat.
this proves not only how strong and powerful orcas are, but how insanely intelligent they really are. sofia knew to avoid the jaws and hit the neck, this isnt her first rodeo and it wont be her last. orca whales are the true apex predators, they rule the ocean.
I feel bad for the shark. It was just minding its own business. But I realize this is the circle of life. The orca is truly the apex predator of the seas.
Sperm whales swimming to the bottom of the ocean and hunting down, killing, and eating giant and colossal squid is quite impressive as well considering no other creature on Earth is capable of that.
It was an 8 ft long juvenile Jaws, to be fair. If anything, this was quite a solid durability feat from the shark, still moving and turning around after such a coordinated full-speed ram from that far larger and heavier orca.
What's more frightening than a fast, strong, huge predator? A fast, strong, huge, INTELLIGENT predator.. We humans are lucky we aren't seen as prey by this creature
Well not true at all. Only when they sre full grown. Beforr thay they can be easily prary by another sharks. But i bet this particular shark with that size and age woudlnt have expected to die today.
Your channel is a treasure trove of knowledge about animals! I always learn something new with every video. Thank you for sharing such fascinating content! 1:17
😂 why do I feel so pumped, I could watch this at the gym and get a good pump of energy to do my workout. Sofia is admirable ❤ cute, intelligent, warrior.
Wishful thinking. They would've gotten Sophia too, so I'm glad she wasn't around. Orcas may be apex predators in the oceans, but humans are the apex predators of the planet. Orcas are no exception to that rule, no matter how large and powerful they are. Every single animal on this planet is vulnerable to humans and capable of being killed by human means if that's what we really want to do.
A pod of Orca were at one time fairly recently, thinning out the Great Whites at Gansbaai, Western Cape, South Africa. Apparently, they had also developed a liking for liver.
Do you guys not read? Sharks cannot live or breathe while they are upside down, even if they're under water! So the orca turned the shark on its back, hence suffocating the shark..even if the shark is under water. Sharks cannot breathe upside down. That's why you never see them swim upside down. My gosh, do you guys read?
Yeah, I wasn't able to find any information online to support the idea that an orca could "suffocate" a shark. If anything, online information suggests that great whites can actually dive deeper than orcas, and that they can loiter around 3000 ft, whereas orcas seldom spend time at depths below 650 ft.
All on her own?!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Where is her family? Wow what a speed for a granny. Yes I know they usually lead their whole...what is it called?! The group, family... But that's still impressive
They know its not convenient for them to Hunt us. Im pretty sure thst is why they dont. Also i think they are very interested in us in a genuine way. I really do.

Orcas are the ultimate evolution of sea lives: beautiful, powerful and intelligent. Individually, they are already apex predators, but together as a group, they are unstoppable force of nature hunting down the largest animals of the oceans.
The true Wolves of the oceans, and like wolves are absolutely fascinating.
But also don't just use intelligence for the kill... Which is just as amazing for me. In Australia a humpback was caught in ropes. Instead of killing it, the orcas freed it from the nets.
We might be attributing human emotions to another species... But their brains do have regions that correspond to empathy and emotion in humans.
Beautifully designed
@@MrZoomah not to mention those regions are far more developed than ours, indicating they might have far stronger empathy than we do
I think when we talk about human emotions I think we need separate the raw feeling from the cognitive function. The closer other animals are to us in terms of having social structure the more likely it is they feel much of what we feel. So for example I have no doubt in my mind that wolves or orcas or other ape species feel the base emotions like the Pixar movie Inside/Out (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear & Disgust). I tend to think these emotions probably filter all the way down to less complex animals - I know scientists have studied the purpose of laughter by tickling rats (joy) and they are prey animals so certainly feel fear. The idea of human emotion as I see it becomes two fold - first, what are emotions that truly only humans feel (like do other animals have nostalgia or ennui?). The second part is cognitive capabilities that induce emotions rather than simply existing in the moment? Like humans can read a book and have feelings driven by higher level thought. Like I'm pretty sure only humans can feel existential dread by imagining a zombie apocalypse or feel hopeful and inspired after humming the Superman theme. I'm sure because I don't believe other animals have the cognitive abilities to imagine things that don't exist - including writing fiction or creating multi-instrument musical pieces.
“Takes the shark under water and suffocates it”. WHAT!? 😂
Sharks need to swim constantly to pass water through their gills where the oxygen exchange happens. So if they cant swim they dont get oxygen and suffocates. The orca will hold the shark under to suffocate it to death.
@ But the orca is swimming, so it must be getting some gill flow, right? 😂
@@TonyTheTruckGuy unlike the shark the orcas have lungs like humans. They can hold their breath under water for 15 mins. My guess would be it will probably hold the shark motionless or flip it over. Most Sharks cant move when they are flipped over. Also looks like the orca already damaged one side of its gills anyway. The shark will also have to actively take water through its mouth and direct it towards its gills rather than swallowing it to get oxygen. Looks like the shark is already too damaged to do so from that blow.
Orcas are fearless! I mean, they don't even fear boats anymore. Our crew came up with some theories about why they decided to sink boats.
possibly just a trend from some youngsters from a pod that live along the Iberian coast and Mediterranean sea. They only attack sailing yachts ...and if they sink them, they leave the humans escape unharmed in the small dingy boat.
I've heard it's part of orcas prank, after the boat upside down they'll fled the area and I can hear them laugh
Also one of the boats hurt Grandma Gladys who’s an Orca. She taught her family how to rip the motors off the boats since her injury.
The way they featured Grimes song in this, yes truly We Appreciate Power
Thank you, I was wondering what it was.
Song name???
Rick Grimes?
We appreciate Power by Grimes@@Popularmango10245
A fan of bad music, huh?
That was an awesome video! The music, in concert with the action on the screen, was so amazing! Thank you for sharing this with us!😁👍
this proves not only how strong and powerful orcas are, but how insanely intelligent they really are. sofia knew to avoid the jaws and hit the neck, this isnt her first rodeo and it wont be her last. orca whales are the true apex predators, they rule the ocean.
With the speed and mass, I would say it's not that relevant where they hit... If they do, it's game over.
I'm so glad it wasn't a clickbait, respect NG!
I feel bad for the shark. It was just minding its own business. But I realize this is the circle of life. The orca is truly the apex predator of the seas.
Sperm whales swimming to the bottom of the ocean and hunting down, killing, and eating giant and colossal squid is quite impressive as well considering no other creature on Earth is capable of that.
She isn't the grandma that our grandparents grew up with, she is sophia the orca grandmother so please respect this powerful granny
She beat this shark but smells of cabbage still
I dunno, my grandparents were part of the WW2 generation…
Its unbelievable to see our nightmare shark, the jaws predator, become the hunted!!....that orca has some power in her!!!..... incredible filming!👍🦈🐋
It's interesting how intelligent they are too, when you see them hunt in packs.
And they've never attacked a human in the wild either.
It was an 8 ft long juvenile Jaws, to be fair. If anything, this was quite a solid durability feat from the shark, still moving and turning around after such a coordinated full-speed ram from that far larger and heavier orca.
@Brandon-br7tc thanks for sharing Brandon 👍👌🦈🐋
now we knew why the boats name was Orca lol
You do realize that sharks aren't nightmarish creatures right? They're amazing creatures that have been around for over hundreds of millions of years.
What's more frightening than a fast, strong, huge predator? A fast, strong, huge, INTELLIGENT predator.. We humans are lucky we aren't seen as prey by this creature
Like a freight train!
Great Whites are probably not accustomed to being the prey. The Orca has unbelievable speed.
Well not true at all. Only when they sre full grown. Beforr thay they can be easily prary by another sharks. But i bet this particular shark with that size and age woudlnt have expected to die today.
Orcas and dolphins, my favorite sea animals, are beautiful and intelligent. I admire them so much!
that rainbow at 0:36 was beautiful to witness
Brutal. I've read the history of orcas and the natives history. I love these animals.
Your channel is a treasure trove of knowledge about animals! I always learn something new with every video. Thank you for sharing such fascinating content! 1:17
I'm sure there's music playing when Orcas attack Sharks. Very thoughtful to have recorded it.
I don’t think that’s what the shark heard….. I’m betting the shark was wondering, “why do I hear Doom Music?”
that was the music in the orcas head
Lol, thanks for saying what I was just about to think. Good one.
Orca's are the apex predator of the ocean, amazing footage depicting that fact.
😂 why do I feel so pumped, I could watch this at the gym and get a good pump of energy to do my workout. Sofia is admirable ❤ cute, intelligent, warrior.
Angela Bassett narration holy moly amazing!!! 😍
If only Tilikum had had Sophia around when they captured him! RIP big guy.❤
Wishful thinking. They would've gotten Sophia too, so I'm glad she wasn't around. Orcas may be apex predators in the oceans, but humans are the apex predators of the planet. Orcas are no exception to that rule, no matter how large and powerful they are. Every single animal on this planet is vulnerable to humans and capable of being killed by human means if that's what we really want to do.
Not “we appreciate power” by grimes Being used as background music 😂😂
The speed was insane
It’s like a freight train just T boned a semi truck.
Granny packs a punch!
Her speed is mindboggling 😲
That Orca boss song takes it up a whole new level
WOOOOW 🤯🤯🤯 GOAT OF THE SEA ¡¡¡
That’s a new comparison
Sperm 🐋 laughs in the Corner
A pod of Orca were at one time fairly recently, thinning out the Great Whites at Gansbaai, Western Cape, South Africa. Apparently, they had also developed a liking for liver.
Shark ! It's what's for dinner 😂 Great footage 🏆
😂😂😂😂
What does the golden emoji mean? Gold?
@@Murderoreo1it’s a trophy. So if it’s used it likely means something is good, such as above.
@@LiztheScorpio89 Ah! thanks human
Sophia soon ate its liver
And just the liver nothing else crazy...😂
With a nice bottle of Chianti
@@HaZeFiT_uAJust like how another species kills tens of millions of sharks a year just to put their fins in soup, crazy!
@@Murderoreo1Yeah, that needs to stop
@@Murderoreo1go protest against Texas now FFS.😂
We usually watch them gliding in the sea calmly. It is amazing to see this arrow flying.
Incredible footage!! Thank you.
This is a good example of the hunter becoming the hunted
I love Orcas , I am so glad that they are friendly to people.
How did it suffocate the shark?
EXACTLYYYYYYYY! LOL
Do you guys not read?
Sharks cannot live or breathe while they are upside down, even if they're under water!
So the orca turned the shark on its back, hence suffocating the shark..even if the shark is under water.
Sharks cannot breathe upside down. That's why you never see them swim upside down.
My gosh, do you guys read?
I prevented the gill from flowing oxygen to the shark. Sharks can only move forward. They can't reverse. They'll die.
Yeah, I wasn't able to find any information online to support the idea that an orca could "suffocate" a shark. If anything, online information suggests that great whites can actually dive deeper than orcas, and that they can loiter around 3000 ft, whereas orcas seldom spend time at depths below 650 ft.
Sharks will dive deep to avoid being hit by Orcas. Any time Sharks stop moving, they die. They move while sleeping.
All on her own?!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Where is her family?
Wow what a speed for a granny. Yes I know they usually lead their whole...what is it called?! The group, family... But that's still impressive
Pod
I believed her pod might be somewhere watch the granny on hunt
That orca was an absolute missile. What a hit. I felt that impact through the screen.
Whoever named them "Killer Whales" really nailed it.
Flawless victory. We are lucky orcas don’t look at humans as food
.....yet
Well, it would be a bad choice for them if they do
Orcas are smart. they know they'd go extinct if they try to hunt us lol.
They know its not convenient for them to Hunt us. Im pretty sure thst is why they dont. Also i think they are very interested in us in a genuine way. I really do.
We dont have enough fat for them to want to eat.
The power shocks ME EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS VIDEO...JAW DROPPING 😮😮😮
This shows a true nature of the ocean.
The best thing I read a weeks ago is that NO HUMAN HAS BEEN HARMED BY AN ORCA IN THE WILD.
Yet.
That we know of......
@@joemendyk9994 exactly, dead men tell no tales after all.
They are sinking yachts off the coast of Portugal and Gibraltar.
@@johncalvo1743 Apparently is the orca equivelant of a teenage trend.. the "rudder challenge"
That wasn’t just a blow-it was like a tank crashing into a truck. Unbelievable power! Orcas are truly amazing! 😬😬😬
Speed, power, intelligence…sharks are no match for them.
both speed, power, and intelligence are higher in sharks. Otherwise, Sofia wouldn't be hunting dying little sharks.
@@ibrahimsultanov7355Source?
Reading the comments makes me feel intelligent.
We need more orcas out there ! ❤
So, nobody is going to talk about when the orca surfaces to breath how it create a little rainbow for a split second?
No, you can do that with a garden hose.
Undoubtedly orcas are the apex predators of the sea.
They're so powerful yet very intelligent creatures
Undoubtedly ? Must be relaxing, to never doubt.
Can someone explain what are those thin stuff on the flippers and flukes? 1:01
Probably bite marks from other sharks
Terrifyingly intelligent and powerful
The music was unnecessary. Otherwise nice footage.
This was amazing I love watching these documentaries
