- Identification of Hawaii's False Killer whales, False killer whale feeding behavior, their current threats, the fisheries research, and actions being taken to help mitigate interaction between False Killer whales and the fishing industry.
"What species am I?"
"Well you're not a Killer Whale."
"But what AM I?"
"You're a 'not a Killer Whale' whale."
Way to make a whale feel like a nobody!
Clairey tf?
@@panickedjerzeegrl7622 They're named by what they aren't (Killer Whales) rather than by what they are. I was making a joke that this might make a False Killer Whale feel like it has no identity. Sorry if that wasn't as obvious as I thought!
Clairey, Thank you! I needed that laugh lol.
Clairey I guess to whale enthusiasts it is? Or may e I’m among the dense lol I couldn’t for the life of me understand what u were trying to say lol. My bad girl.
Even a "killer whale" isn't a killer whale, it's a killer dolphin lol.
Then real orcas show up these guys swim away very fast lol
They need a better name like Hawaiian Dolphins.
That would be nice, but they live in many places around the world
I don't think they appreciate being known as the "false" of another species.
Onmyway2slayabeastibecame1 I know stupid name.It’s funny how one person called them that and the name stuck
I don’t think they care at all
I AGREE!
humans = false gorilla
We name things like little kids. Even the fact that killer whales are named that
These are good familiarisation videos. Keep up with them. Teach sustainable, manageable, and wise strategies for feeding everyone, protecting habitats and rookeries, and reducing tourist and hunting impact.
I feel like someone is reading a children’s book to me
Poorly
They originally went with the name "sort of like a killer whale but much smaller and not black or having any white bits, more gray like a dolphin and also a different shape" but decided that was too long
Perfect👍
males can reach 18-20 feet and over 2 tons. Smaller yes, but not by much they are just less bulkier than the orcas and slightly shorter. Pods of similar sizes of both species are known to avoid each other though of course the orcas would be the aggressors if they have numerical advantage otherwise the "false" guys are way too dangerous prey to hunt regularly.
I have been in the water with these animals and yes they are maybe 2/3 the size of an orca, as soon as you see them open their mouth and reveal the impressive conical teeth all doubt is removed as to their biological relationship to orcas.
3:29 did the whale just travel on land?
It was probably under the island, or the tech glitched.
Its tracked via a satellite tag so if the tag can't communicate for a period of time the computer will just draw a line between where the whale is when it goes off and where it is when it comes back on. The whale probably swam around the edge of the Island during one of these times and the system drew it going over the land
@@CurliFox Did you just say under the island?
on the video the guy says that the posicion is reported by gps between 12 ans 12 hours. so they just turned the peninsula of the island.
Saw some very far offshore and it was a very beautiful pod.
It's a shame that there can be so much plastic in the oceans and still be people who think humans have no significant impact on nature.
It is a shame
Tell China, India, and southeast Asia.
Whose plastic do you think it is?
@@danieltravis5082 It's a human problem that isn't exclusive to one country.
They eat marlin fish as in the fastest fish in The world? Are they even faster?
First of all, pseudorcas are not fish. There is an account of a diver in Maui who was with a pod of pseudorcas that just made a kill of a sailfish, which is actually the fastest fish in the ocean. So yes, they must be faster. The whale then offered the pectoral fin to the human as a gift, which has been recorded many times with this species. Food sharing.
Ok you so
Called biologists can’t even get the names right and dolphins are not whales and orca are not whales they are dolphins
Both are whales. There are two types Balaenopteridae or baleen whales. This family holds whales such as Blue whales and Humpback.
The other is the delphinidae or toothed whales such as dolphins, orcas, belugas, and sperm whales.
Trua712 wrong they are dolphins
Let’s-play and dolphins are whales...
@@trua7129 I think you mean Mysticeti (baleen whales) and Odontoceti (toothed whales, including dolphins). Balaenopteridae and Delphinidae are familys within the Mysticeti and Odontoceti respectively. The Sperm whale is an odontocete, but not a delphinid. A Right whale is a mysticete, but not a balaenopterid.
Ozraptor4 ahh, yes you are right. Thanks.
Blackfish 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They are dolphins, right? He calls their group a pod. Sometimes , but not often you'll hear a group of dolphins referred to as a pod, but usually they're its a school. Be specific. Your scientists. Deal in facts.
Well Killer Whales or Orcas are in fact Dolphins anyway and it's "you're scientists" not your scientists. Your speaks of possession as in. That is your scientist. You own him or her.
An informed person would never refer a group of dolphins as a "School". That is how you describe a large group of fish. Dolphins and whales are ALWAYS referred to as "pods". Always a good idea to know what you are talking about before criticizing someone else. My guess is you will double down and come back at me before actually looking this info up but the most basic ocean enthusiasts know dolphins travel in pods. I live in Hawaii, am a marine biology major and decades long underwater photographer and to call a bunch of dolphins a "school" is cringe worthy. Stop being "that guy". We have too many "That guys" in the world. Know it all's that know NOTHING! Scientist DO deal in facts and they had their facts right. YOU didn't. So sit tf down. You are the garbage intelligent people have to deal with when trying to hold a decent conversation on the internet. Some insecure person trying to sound intelligent. Didn't work this time Jeff.
Call me weird, I absolutely LOVE orcas and it's my dream to swim with them but these... They scare me to death ! 😰
I cannot wait to work for noaa (goal) working through my masters and trying to get my foot in the door
Oh wow, someone just went crazy in a lab and release something into the ocean 🌊.
There's a chrome extension called Ocean Hero, that every time you open 10 tabs, you relieve 1 plastic bottle out of the ocean. It has a 4.8-star review and all those bottles add up. Search up Ocean Hero, and add it to your chrome.
Yep, definitely need to teach these animals the word for "No"
that looks like porpoises
They are closely related, but much larger. They are part of the delphinid family (Delphinidae). Porpoises are smaller than 3' in length and of the seven species that are known, none inhabit Hawaiian waters. It is commonplace for the folks in Hawaii to refer to dolphins as porpoise, though.
False Killer Whales are members of the dolphin family. They are NOT related to porpoise, which are a totally different species.
Cetaceans are whales and dolphins. They include the smaller dolphins and the larger pilot whales, false killer whales, humpback, blue, right whales. Just a case of categorizing animal groups.
Oceans are dying from too many
It must suck to be false.
That reminds me of Joe Biden. He's pretty false. Ane then there was this Obama guy who was false as fuck!
Cool
I.D theft way outta control lol
is it noaa as in noah or is it noaa as in n o a a
“Who you calling fake”
without watching the video. these look like pilot whales?
They are related
Pilot whales have more spherical heads while pseudorcas have more elongated heads. Very similar but false killer whales get larger and are more fish eating whales while pilot whales are more likely to eat squid. False killer whales have also been documented many times offering part of their kill to humans in the water with them. Have not heard of pilot whales doing that. Also I think pilot whales are the only cetacean that has been recording attacking humans. I have been in the water with both and am less comfortable around pilot whales than false killer whales.
Ty so much for what you do to help all life in the sea. I hope to make all aware and get more subscribers for you. My dream is to see these orcas and swim with them or just pet them even. Tell the blackfish to stay away from Japan. Lol
These arent actually killer whales, but members of the blackfish (orca, pilot whales, false killer whales, ect). It is illegal in most places to harass marine mammals....no petting, feeding chasing or swimming with. Would you be ok with a stranger grabbing and molesting you? Be respectful and view them from a whale watching boat or shore.
Pass the plate please
.
Its a dolphin.
Mysticetes are interchangeably whales/ dolphins. It is not JUST a dolphin. It is a whale AND a dolphin. A pigeon is a pigeon AND a bird. Nomenclature. An octopus is is an invertebrate, a mollusc, and a cephalopod. Odontocetes are not dolphins.
Thank you.
I have a feeling that the “True” killer whale would make a snack out of the “False” killer whale. To save them why not limit fishing and boating? What more do you need to know? They need to be left alone!
I love how people shout free the whales what are we freeing them to? A garbage dump? Let's clean the oceans before we even think about ending captivity
Captive whales and pollution are not related. Stop keeping them captive and clean the oceans immediately. They are not dependent on each other. "Let's clean the oceans before we even think about ending captivity". No! Do both immediately.
Why are fishermen a d boaters so careless. They have no respect for sea life and the environment. Shame on them. It's soo sad. God bless Sea Shepherd, conservative society and other organizations that help the mammals and other sea life. Without them, so many would be dead and extinct. 🐳🐬🐋🦈🦭🐙🐢🐟🐠🐙🦀🦞🦐🦑🇺🇸
