I REMEMBER THIS!!!!! This is VERY old!!! It's called: "Trials Of Life: Hunting and Escaping." My dad ordered this when I was a kid in elementary school and I used to watch this every day, so much so to where I learned every word off of it, lol. This brings back good memories. I remember it was so good, my 7th grade science teacher wanted me to bring it to school so the class could watch it and they all enjoyed it.
OMG! I was wondering that, too.I was so surprised the whale stopped its attack that I had to watch that scene again and it certainly looked as though dinner fought back.
diving into a deep cave especially without oxygen is more dangerous, the orca can still breath when beached and can thrash its way back, in a cave u can get lost or stuck. but the orca could maybe get stuck too although it’s probably rare
Orcas are exceptionally intelligent, they assess prey and understand how to hunt it. The stranding we see is learned behaviour taught by older members of the pod. Their family units are stronger than other mammals, pods stay together for life. Fights almost never happen in the wild due to the strong family ties. Orcas that survive the first few years live longer than captive orcas due to the males not interbreeding with other pod members, they breed with separate pods. Males live about 40-50 years and females live 50-60 years on average in the wild. Captive whales average about 30 years. Some have died in their teens order even before birth according to PETA.
Now I never trust PETA as a reliable source for animal welfare, conservation, and knowledge. I can confirm that this is true, orcas and other cetaceans fair much better in the wild than they do in captivity, but actually, the captive lifespan is usually between 17-25yrs.
+Charlie Chaplin PETA is the last source of information to look to regarding animal ethicality. They have euthanized every pet placed under their surveillance, regardless of wellness. Look this up before making such blatant statements.
Hold on a second. These amazing animals are very entertaining. I saw one swim then jump out of the water through a hoop! Was so cool. Everybody cheered.
The intelligence and finesse of Orca whales is mesmerizing. They are so intelligent, in fact, that the only humans that have been killed by one has been by those held captive in a tank. It's well documented these animals, in the wild, mean us no harm. There are plenty of videos of people interacting with them peacefully in the wild.
Truth. I could say they R way more intelligent than us. I think they're elders pass it down to young Orcas not to attack us from their experience in the past with humans. Knowing humans can be cruel, barbaric and vengeful to those animals that attack us.

It’s incredible how they can tell the difference between a camera man and a seal in the water with all that distraction else we would not have been able to see those close clips. It must be a bio signature that they pick up on?
Orcas are far more endangered than seals, as seals reproduce very easily and orcas do not. As such, I hope as many seals as possible were caught and consumed by these orcas during the filming of this documentary footage.
@@exfolios endangered doesnt mean only humans shud kill the animal to make them go extinct... We pollute sea with plastics... We over fish, so the animals may starve to death... Orcas getting stuck to fishing lines accidentally... All these reasons are enough to put an animal in the endangered list
@@exfolios there are under 40 resident orcas in British Columbia/Washington state because of the loss of the main food chinook salmon due to overfishing and pollution.
@wantafanta01 That's what you call a diet. You can't force an animal to eat anything that he doesn't know. Animals sticks to their diets. Just like how you can't force a dog to eat a tomato, the same way goes for Orcas or Seals or whatever animal it is.
"Here" is Punta Norte, Argentina. It is the only place in the world where orcas do this, and there are fewer than a dozen that do it. A remarkable instance of learned behavior.
Oscar Johansson+ Think you'd like being crushed nearly in half? Think those sea lions aren't in seering agony as they're ripped apart? Keep up the psychopathic enthusiasm.
It's funny to think that cetaceans began their evolution as fishes (like every other animal), then went to the surface and became land mammals, then they went back into the ocean a few million years later, and now they are beaching themselves to hunt land animals. It's like..make up your mind guys. Do you want to live in or out of the water?
Yeah for the most part although I definitely wouldn’t take the capabilities of one for granted. If they wanted they could be more formidable than even the most prolific man killers in the world like crocodiles, hippos and tigers.
I'm glad it's only Orcas that do this, imagine if Great Whites or Bull Sharks learnt this technique - somehow it seems cute when Orcas do it but it would be absolutely terrifying if it was a massive shark instead!
Orcas are really intelligent and beautiful animals. Their prey on the other hand, the seals are their exact opposite. They just congregate near the shoes and literally freeze when one is caught by the Orcas. They may be cute but are dumb af.
That is true of seals. Sea lions, like in the video, are smart. They balance balls on their noses and learn other tricks. Seals learn to wave with a flipper and that's it.
Sea lions must be special delicacy that's the reason Whale travels thousands of Kms to feast this.Technique must be passed through generation to generation , Comes to same place again and again. Wow Spectacular.
Sea lions prey on penguins for survival. Human beings have totally garnered control of abusive behavior in this world! There is nothing that any wild animal can do that compares to the human abuse history. It is we humans that are a threat to all life on earth period!!.
The commentator said they perfected the technique of not beaching themselves, No that comes from all that good training at SeaWorld... it comes in handy when they returned back into the wild LOL
+fulaan1 The colder the climate, the much they have to eat. In California adult sea lions eat up to 18 kg of fish a day, with a minimum of 6. This seems a much colder climate... New Zealand, maybe? Or Chile?

Absolutely incredible how such beasts can beach themselves and retreat so easily.
@Christopher Adams and imagine the energy each of those pushes onto the beach takes out of the whales. It must be exhausting after the first one.
This is only possible because this particular beach is both steep and covered in round pebbles, so the orcas can free themselves more easily.

I don't get why they keep going in the water if they know predators are nearby. Like damn stay on land for a bit till they leave 😂
Are we gonna ignore the fact that a sea lion slapped a killer whale @1:57

I didn't see a slap. It looked like the sea lion bit the whale. Watching it again, I saw the slap. It was a right cross.
I could watch that all day-------😎AND al night eating popcorn.😂
This is the equivalent of humans hunting their food by diving into a deep sea cave w/ no oxygen
Some tribes actually do that I think.
diving into a deep cave especially without oxygen is more dangerous, the orca can still breath when beached and can thrash its way back, in a cave u can get lost or stuck. but the orca could maybe get stuck too although it’s probably rare
