Not all Orca subspecies hunt mammals, some ecotypes are strict fish eaters. I've read somewhere that there were a group of orcas working with a small group of humpbacks to catch fishes effectively (albeit very rare). It really depends on the tribe in question. Some are more aggressive than others, like how the majority of wolves run away from humans, while there are very rare ones who simply despise humans to the point to try to kill a human being if given the chance. Intelligent beings are always unpredictable anyway.
@ub-4630 Killer Whale is backwards for Whale Killer, but this species of Transient Orca, the Type-1 Eastern North-Atlantic/Icelaneic Orca, is not a whale killer, they don't prey on whales, just as the Bigg's off the coast of California, Type-1 Eastern North-Atlantic, and Antarctic type-a Orcas do.
Killler whale is quite misleading as the name was coined by whalers as the oversized dolphins were witnessed to feed off the whales that had been harpooned. Pretty grim but nature is as nature does.They do have killer fashion sense I think we all would agree 👍🏻
I disagree bro orcas are so smart and I suspect they are racional animals just like us we just can’t understand them, they do everything we humans do just in the water, if we gave them a pair of hands so they can get crafty we would see the beginning of a new civilisation (dolphins are even more clearly). Btw you don’t call humans killer animal or killer monkey or whatever so don’t call orcas killer whales call them orcas they’re not even whales they’re dolphins
Scientists do know why they live on past the ability to breed (menopause), it's because of culture and that female pods are matriarchal and their survival is often based on the passed on knowledge and culture. Their importance is to show guidance through experience and to instill lessons onto the next generation to be able to adapt mentally to changes. They're needed in order to teach the next generation to lead and survive.
It is widely known that different "nations" of Orcas have different types of food and hunting strategies. Also differences in their languages as well. They are not that much different from us in terms of social behavior and learning abilities.
9:52 as far as orcas wearing the dead fish on their heads like that, I wonder if it’s to attract and hunt sea birds. Captive orcas have been known to spit out the fish they’re fed in order to lure in sea birds like gulls and herons.
the intelligent orcas understood very well, that being entangled in ropes and fishing nets is dangerous and especially distressful for any dolphin/orca/whale so they decided for a relief operation, and being so emphatic, they chose to go hunting later. They didn't want to change their emotional mood from one minute to the next. if they had been very hungry, the outcome surely would have been different.
In some places after an Elephant is killed by traffic the other elephants attack traffic for weeks. Maybe those orcas attacking boats are doing that too.
Amazing animals with undoubtedly a strong sense of smart to them... once like 15 years ago I was fishing in northern Iceland (I'm a fisherman b.t.w) and a huge pod of like 50 individual came swimming by (biggest pod both me and my father have ever seen), few of em stopped by the boat to check us out and you could just see in there eyes when they stuck there heads above the sealine that they where thinking something and wondering what we where.
That's amazing, i immediately start thinking about those videos where people from big cities see whales and panic when they immediately think they'll get killed by whale even though they're in a boat 🤣
Some orcas have developt hunting strategies by working with humans that hunt whales to hunt whales together. Like driving a pod of whales into a bay of whalers so the whalers killed the whales and the orcas also got a fair share. It happend alot from austrialian aborigines to whalers from western countries basicly everywhere were humans sattled for a longer time and hunted whales and if it was easier for orcas to hunt with humans. They are a pragmatic bunch after all.
Orcas are so fascinating! Our crew registered how killer whales are changing the whole wildlife in the Arctic. Orcas were rarely seen there. But, now, our team caught on camera these dolphins taking it over and hunting animals that were not even aware of their existence. It's very concerning when we think about the species that live there and how they are going to cope with this main predator.
Her name is not J35, that is her scientific research classification. She is part of J-pod, one of three groups of the southern residents. And she was the 35th orca observed in this pod. Her name is Talequah.
Pilot whales usually run orcas off. To the point in some areas, if they hear pilot whales have the orcas leaving the area. It might have to do with pilot whales also have teeth, not much smaller, and can have over 100 in a pod.
The pilot whale baby isn't that mysterious. Orca's are mammals like us and are very intelligent. It probably tried to take care of the baby for the same reason's you'd try to take care of an abandoned baby orangutan. It's cute AF and you have empathy.
You know it's possible that they keep taking care of the male orca. The male Orca gets a lot bigger than the females. So keeping them around big and strong helps protect the pod.
@@jiroshiroyuki5236 The transient ones who I think hunt fish ? Or was it the resident ones who hunt sealions and such?I always get my pods mixed up . Ugh. 🤦
@@janedoex1398 well you got it backwards. Transient ones are the one who eats mammals and other marine creatures. while Resident one mostly have fish as their main diet.
As far as I can tell this video is simply rapid-fire "Orcas do weird things and we don't know why", but the facts mentioned have little to do with the title of the video... Did I miss something?
thx for the advice! as a human male, i've always dreamed of being a female orca, but this video has changed my perspective of my respective choice, now i think i'll settle for being a doctor or somethiing
This video was just orca facts, not "That's Why Young Orcas Hate Old Ones". Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the video! But young orcas, as mentioned in the video, are taken care of by their grandmothers. Grandmothers care and wayfind for the entire pod, as they are the wisest and are in charge of teaching the next "wayfinder-grandmother" how to get around.
They sometimes get bitten at birth I often watch the videos this channel uploads to find out if the title isn’t relevant or true Usually *_just_* enough to _not_ be clickbait.
I learn that depending on the environment an Orca lives in, it's diet it's different, all Orcas are not the same, at least that's what I study, each pod eats and act different, that's why you see different behaviors
My theory personally is that mother’s favor sons not because of biology or anything like that but maybe its just their culture or social norms in some orca pods. I think we are underestimating Orca’s alot more than we think. I like think of them in a human-ish social culture way, esp in asian culture the grandma is usually the head and helps to raise the family and help with social events and such.
There's also footage of a lioness who adopted a baby antelope and cared for it until it was pretty much dead from starvation because it wasn't weaned off milk yet. She kept it away from her pride the whole time too but iirc a pride male eventually found her and twaxed the baby 🍖
@@icosthop9998 he has answered them in the past. He made a specific video which I watched covering my question. It was more of a rhetorical question than a literal one.
Well, to be perfectly honest in my humble opinion without being sentimental, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in distinct perspective and without condemning anyone's view and by considering each and everyone's valid opinion I honestly believe that I vividly don't have anything to say. In fact, i forgot what i am about to say. Much obliged. Yours truly.
It's actually quite special that it adopted a pilot whale. It's known that Orca's actually try to stay away from pilot whales and pilot whales acting aggressively against orca pods. So Orca's are still apex predators, but they do have enemies
Orcas has strict manners and pride about certain things. I've seen them eating deceased body that they didn't hunt, and they were eating it in eerie silence and even husshed their young daughter when eating. They take a pride of their hunting skills and anything they didn't earn, they take a pride. That's why they let the whale entangled go. They know they are superior and apex, so they do care about this reputation and rightfully take a pride on it, and act upon this.
humans are funny i was watching avatar 2 with some friends and the sea creatures my friend was like imagine if we had animals like that had to explain to him we do . orcas and whales many types with their dead ones is where the idea for them creatures came from lol
I feel that the orca took in the pilot in grief and learned to love the spices unintentionally and when it seen what it already knoww as a loved one/baby if it’s own care. It new to mother the baby yes even if they weren’t hers. It’s what she knew best and she didn’t mean any harm. Then again we’re talking about whales and more specifically killer whales so you take what you want out of that
Among humans, the presence of the maternal grandmother improved the infant survival rate. The presence of the paternal grandmother had the same effect as no grandmother in the infant's life. It's probably the same effect in orcas.
I think they mostly do not even expect humans to do anything to them if they do not happen to be captive ones I bet they mostly are focused on their own lives since they have to to keep being alive
I tried to find the original videos of the killer whale carrying her baby and also the video of her setting it down, but wasn't able to find either anywhere. If anyone has a link, I'd appreciate it (and some other people might too). I like to study animal behavior and body language and I think those might be interesting videos. Have never noticed orca's having "body language before"... but I've heard from trainers that say they do.
In Washington state they have been known interacting with boaters, kayakers for fun and fishermen for their fish. In Washington state its popular to kayak with whales and orcas.
With the Orcas helping the entangled Humpback, They might have assessed the situation, realised the Humpback was infested with parasites, and the best outcome would be to set the humpback free to go back to its kin and spread the parasites. Especially if they have another food resource, like fish for that season, when that resource goes, there will be a load of Humpbacks that have been weakened by parasites making hunting them easier. it could be a demonstration of foresight from the older female who attended
If Orcas knew what we do and are still doing to them I would be terrified to go into the water, if they knew what revenge was we humans could not stand a chance! the Ocean belongs to them and we need the ocean to live.....
I live in WA state and the Southern Resident Orcas (J, K, and L pods) are almost functionally extinct 😩 While there's over 300 Northern Residents off Canada's coast, there's only 73 left in the Southern Puget Sound population and they're losing on all fronts... The females aren't successfully reproducing, they face *major* consequences from boat traffic (both noise & water pollution, plus boat strikes), and we have over-fished the salmon that make up 90%+ of their diet 😡 It's sad that if we can't figure out how to fix this, then Orcas will probably be gone from WA's waters in my lifetime 😢
Donate to charities that help salmon and open up rivers; orcas often will check freshwater rivers leading into the ocean because salmon swim upstream and can usually be found there. Dams and other things restrict and sometimes stop the flow of rivers, therefore eliminating salmon habitat and numbers. If there are more fish, orcas will benefit greatly.
@@railiatkins I've done extensive research into this and sadly I'm 99% sure the Southern Residents are "functionally" extinct 😞 There's only 2 changes we could make that would have a big enough impact to correct course for them. Option 1: Either stop all commercial salmon fishing in the area *or* significantly reduce commercial fishing combined with allowing the legal culling of the overpopulated sea lions. (Slim chance in hell of passing anything that'll take $ out of people's pockets or kill "cute" animals) Option 2: Remove like 80%+ of the dams on all major spawning rivers. And conservationists have been fighting (unsuccessfully) just to remove *one* obsolete dam that actually loses $ and what 🔋 it does produce is 100% *surplus.* But of course the electric companies with deep pockets keep blocking efforts. All things considered, the only chance our Orcas have is if they learn (or maybe we teach them?) to hunt the *abundant* seal/sea lions we have here like the transient Orcas do
@@EmpressOfExile206 Maybe the orcas LEARN to hunt sea lions, which would solve some of their problems. Orcas are picky eaters, normally they only eat what family taught them is good food, and they keep to that diet. So for instance a resident pod in New Zealand specializes in squid. It is quite a hassle to hunt them, so they must taste really good. In Norway in December some travelling orcas arrive to hunt for fat herring fish. Orcas are feared by seals in California or in the arctic, or in Australia. But in this region in Norway the seals could not care less about orcas staying there for a while. These locals seals were never hunted by ocas. The orcas in WA would not easily resort to going after different food, but all it takes is ONE individual figuring out that indeed it is possible to eat sea lions. And they are very good, fat food. They certainly would learn ways to hunt them and improve their techniques. I assume that hunting large sharks has become a thing among orcas only in recent decades. Or attacking boats in the waters of Gibraltar. I wonder if these are teenage hooligans (or adult hooligans) - it certainly is a learned tradition. Orcas famously also learned to cooperate with human whalers when they hunted other whales in Australia (and the humans figured it out as well !). The humans went after some whales (not orcas). The orcas there are travelling through and they used to attack other whales. They took advantage of the humans already cornering some whales. On the other hand the humans noted that the whales cut off the escape routes of to pods. Whales and humans made more prey. A cooperation emerged, and it was mutually beneficial. These pods came around every year and they remembered and improved the cooperative hunting strategies. In Japan in an area where they have winters with snow, there are thermal springs and monkeys live there. A few monkeys detected that they could go into a pond filled with very warm thermal water - and they would stay warm. These monkeys did not have a high social position so no one imitated the behavior - they were not accepted as trendsetters / influencers. However, the young monkeys play together, and the toddlers and teenagers had no societal snobbery and started to imitate that behavior. Found out it was pleasant, and continued to do so. Fast forward a few generations and now the whole group is enjoying the spa. They have become quite a touristic attraction. Snow around the pond, fog rising, and the monkeys in the warm water, only the heads above water.
I love orcas I think they're so beautiful but there's something so scary about them maybe the jet black color and that pseudo white eye patches. I find them more menacing than great white.
The simple answer is these whales. I mean dolphins are very complex and are capable of showing compassion and understanding when it comes to other mammals and creatures. It truly understands that it's tied in the universe all together❤
In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). At least 174 orcas have died in captivity,

Thankfully there aren’t spiteful orcas roaming the waters hunting humans.
@@whokilledjr3719 there was a pod off the coast of Portugal that would rip the rudders off of sailboats
@@whokilledjr3719 Seems the only spiteful ones are those raised in captivity
There are no documented cases of orca killing humans in the wild. Four humans have been killed by orca in captivity.
They're crazy and earned their name, "Killer," in every sense. They do make good grandmothers tho.

J35 what a creative name.
You never explained why Orcas hate the newborn female so much.
12:42 I'm glad this sad story had a happy ending
The orcas are beginning to farm 😂
How do i see 3 different titles for the same video?
I’ve seen this thumbnail change like 4 times now 😭
it was a snack that swam with you for me
Orca lives mattter.
I live in WA state and the Southern Resident Orcas (J, K, and L pods) are almost functionally extinct 😩 While there's over 300 Northern Residents off Canada's coast, there's only 73 left in the Southern Puget Sound population and they're losing on all fronts... The females aren't successfully reproducing, they face *major* consequences from boat traffic (both noise & water pollution, plus boat strikes), and we have over-fished the salmon that make up 90%+ of their diet 😡 It's sad that if we can't figure out how to fix this, then Orcas will probably be gone from WA's waters in my lifetime 😢
Donate to charities that help salmon and open up rivers; orcas often will check freshwater rivers leading into the ocean because salmon swim upstream and can usually be found there. Dams and other things restrict and sometimes stop the flow of rivers, therefore eliminating salmon habitat and numbers. If there are more fish, orcas will benefit greatly.
@@railiatkins I've done extensive research into this and sadly I'm 99% sure the Southern Residents are "functionally" extinct 😞 There's only 2 changes we could make that would have a big enough impact to correct course for them.
Option 1: Either stop all commercial salmon fishing in the area *or* significantly reduce commercial fishing combined with allowing the legal culling of the overpopulated sea lions. (Slim chance in hell of passing anything that'll take $ out of people's pockets or kill "cute" animals)
Option 2: Remove like 80%+ of the dams on all major spawning rivers. And conservationists have been fighting (unsuccessfully) just to remove *one* obsolete dam that actually loses $ and what 🔋 it does produce is 100% *surplus.* But of course the electric companies with deep pockets keep blocking efforts.
All things considered, the only chance our Orcas have is if they learn (or maybe we teach them?) to hunt the *abundant* seal/sea lions we have here like the transient Orcas do
@@EmpressOfExile206 Maybe the orcas LEARN to hunt sea lions, which would solve some of their problems. Orcas are picky eaters, normally they only eat what family taught them is good food, and they keep to that diet. So for instance a resident pod in New Zealand specializes in squid. It is quite a hassle to hunt them, so they must taste really good. In Norway in December some travelling orcas arrive to hunt for fat herring fish. Orcas are feared by seals in California or in the arctic, or in Australia. But in this region in Norway the seals could not care less about orcas staying there for a while. These locals seals were never hunted by ocas.
The orcas in WA would not easily resort to going after different food, but all it takes is ONE individual figuring out that indeed it is possible to eat sea lions. And they are very good, fat food. They certainly would learn ways to hunt them and improve their techniques.
I assume that hunting large sharks has become a thing among orcas only in recent decades. Or attacking boats in the waters of Gibraltar. I wonder if these are teenage hooligans (or adult hooligans) - it certainly is a learned tradition.
Orcas famously also learned to cooperate with human whalers when they hunted other whales in Australia (and the humans figured it out as well !). The humans went after some whales (not orcas). The orcas there are travelling through and they used to attack other whales. They took advantage of the humans already cornering some whales. On the other hand the humans noted that the whales cut off the escape routes of to pods. Whales and humans made more prey.
A cooperation emerged, and it was mutually beneficial. These pods came around every year and they remembered and improved the cooperative hunting strategies.
In Japan in an area where they have winters with snow, there are thermal springs and monkeys live there. A few monkeys detected that they could go into a pond filled with very warm thermal water - and they would stay warm. These monkeys did not have a high social position so no one imitated the behavior - they were not accepted as trendsetters / influencers. However, the young monkeys play together, and the toddlers and teenagers had no societal snobbery and started to imitate that behavior. Found out it was pleasant, and continued to do so.
Fast forward a few generations and now the whole group is enjoying the spa. They have become quite a touristic attraction. Snow around the pond, fog rising, and the monkeys in the warm water, only the heads above water.
I wonder if those young orcas have a phrase for "boat tipping."
WATOP ты лучший. 👏👏👏
4:59 Yup 😁
In the Caribbean they kill leather-backs, they specialize in it. Apparently there are different morphs/phenotypes within the species.

Wow 😊
This is you tube not wikipedia
Very interesting.
Amazing animals
I’d believe you more if you weren’t so giddy about it 😂
TY 📚🤔📚
I love orcas I think they're so beautiful but there's something so scary about them maybe the jet black color and that pseudo white eye patches. I find them more menacing than great white.
The simple answer is these whales. I mean dolphins are very complex and are capable of showing compassion and understanding when it comes to other mammals and creatures. It truly understands that it's tied in the universe all together❤
The orca was just fattening up the pilot whale for later
In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). At least 174 orcas have died in captivity,
Yaa
