They’re Not Even Whales
The image of the “killer whale” and their elusive reputation for consuming colossal sized prey, may be debunked when the world learns these majestic mammals aren’t even whales at all. Though orcas are killer in the sense that they’re cool, the name derives from a diet consisting of whales; hence, killer of whales.
The Deets
The little guy will typically be 6 to 9 feet long, while their adult counterparts can reach 23-32 feet. To contradict their offspring, an adult male weighs up to six tons- almost the size of a large bus. Due to their immense size and power, these fierce swimmers have been recorded at speeds of up to 33 miles per hour. The average life of a male orca is 29 years. Females have significantly longer lives, despite the fact that they endure menopause, and research suggests that their longevity is to help care for the other young members of the pod. In the wild female orcas live an average of 50 years, though much older accounts claim 80 years or more.
The Hunt Is On
Extremely swift animals, the speed of a dolphin makes it a much sought-after catch, so in the midst of a high-speed chase an orca will ram and stun its prey before going in for the kill. Orcas are unable to take their victim out with a fatal bite, as opening their mouth causes a painful drag along their lower jaw. So, a game of bumper cars ensues, and the orca always wins.
They Get Around
The orca species ranges from the Arctic to the Antarctic and move freely everywhere from the ice-capped waters of the north and south to the rhythmical movement of warmer waters along the equator. Orcas can be found around the tropical Hawaiian Islands stretching to the Galapagos and the Gulf of California. They come in second to humans as far as global distribution; yet, orcas are not limited to our ocean’s alone- some have been spotted in freshwater rivers such as the Rhine, Thames and Elbe rivers. In one instance a solo orca was seen 100 miles up the Columbian river, hunting for fish.
They Stick Together
When it comes to the discrepancy of pods versus clans, they are solely distinct due to language. A single clan consists of several pods of family groups. While each pod speaks the same language, they each have their own dialect and accent.
What’s in A Name?
Theory suggests that past whalers became familiar with the intended prey and denoted the beasts as “killers of whales”; over time, the name became corrupted by the kind of people who love all things grim and grisly. To add, the Latin name for orca is Orcinus orca, which translates to “Of the kingdom of the dead.” The interpretation correlates the Roman God of the underworld, Orcus, with the fierce hunting reputation of the ominous killer.
Mammals Have Menopause Too
Despite the fetus facility giving out, these three entities continue to live on for decades although their prenatal abilities do not- why is this? Since some may argue reproduction is the basis for evolution, why would a species stop reproducing mid-life? Science has proposed a fascinating explanation known as the grandmother hypothesis. An idea founded in 1966, the theory proposes that older females forgo the option to bear more in order to support the ones they have.
Orcas Evolve as Humans Do
A special team set out to compare the genomes of two separate cultures of orcas in the Pacific Ocean, as well as three cultures in the Antarctic Ocean. To the surprise of the group, the genomes fell into five different groups which perfectly coincided with the cultural distinctions in each. Since only humans are known to evolve based on their culture, this can lend a major breakthrough for the scientific world.
The Gang Gets Invincible
Remarkably, orcas don’t have any predators. They are at the very top of the food chain and are therefore considered apex predators. Since orcas are among some of the largest and most powerful creatures in the deep blue, no other animal is able to challenge them- not even the mammoth-sized blue whale, and not even the rapacious great white shark.
Deadly by Association
A killer whale called Tilly, one famous “Shamu” impersonator for over 25 years at SeaWorld, killed three different people on separate occasions. There is much controversy as to why this happened, circulating back to heartbreaking living conditions, horrible treatment, and health- as poor captivity and the deterioration of one’s wellbeing could cause any animal to snap. The renowned documentary Blackfish highlights the infamous Tilly, as the film uncovers problems with the sea-park industry, human’s treatment of nature, and the high intelligence of these remarkable animals.

Do you think dolphins should be allowed in captivity? Why, or why not?
What Lurks Below
No, they should not. No living being should be kept in captivity, it’s an unnatural state of being regardless of motive.
Especially, dolphins, orcas, great apes, elephants, these are highly intelligent, and exhibit many states of consciousness/awareness.
If we are to do something, it should be to change our perception, and our behaviours since we are at the top of the food chain, and top apex predators.
We have this ability of taking our earth, and all living things for granted. We live as though there are no consequences for our actions, and herein lies our problem.
What Lurks Below NOOO!!!! Orcas and dolphins are too big for the chlorinated swimming pools!!! It’s not healthy for them at all!
No. Because it’s just cruel. These animals are being taken from their social groups and trained like puppets for human enjoyment. They are very smart creatures with emotions too. Leave the Wild alone. Humans always messing up this beautiful world.
Blue whale is the biggest dolphin
Let the dolphins and whales decide. Sometimes they choose the company of humans, but the powers that be step in and force what they think is best on the animals. Almost always to the heartbreak and often death of the animals they claim to be protecting. (See comment farther down)
There has never been an attack by a Orca on a human in the wild,Only in captivity.If i was locked up in my bath room 24/7 for years on years I would act out violently as well.
You copied that off blackfish 😑
Never been a reported attack in the wild, that's not too hard to believe considering if you was attacked in the wild as this would then place you in the sea.
If you have been attacked in the sea then most likely you die in the sea therefore not able to tell people you have been attacked.
Dead men tell no tales.
Your statement does not make me believe that a massive orca would not attack you in the wild, as all animals are opportunistic when threatened, curious and starving.
We know that different orcas around the world are adapted to different types of food.
But like any other animal a meal is a meal does not matter what the food looks like.
Orcas eat seals which are large prey not too different in size than a human, sharks often mistake a surfer for a seal or a turtle.
That not ture.... There have been 1..... in 1880...;)
cyril layman
If that’s the case then I say all is fair in love and freedom
@Sea dreams idiot, you knew exactly what Like Hopkinson said is all true
Orcas are my favorite animal!!!
Mine tooooo
Me too
Me too
Well congrats
Me too
The average lifespan of a wild male orca in the wild is 50 years, almost double that of captive orcas: 28 years. Wild females regularly live to the age of 80.
Dam 30 year difference eh?
That's interesting
@@GORILLA_PIMP 50 year difference for females. For the average. Top end is 70 year difference for females and 40 year difference for males.
They shouldn’t be in captivity.
His name was Tilikum & he had a heartbreaking existence... I’m glad he’s dead & out of his misery... shame on Seaworld!
Scorchio Helen PREACH GIRL
@SUN OF GOD you are so blessed for seeing orcas, my biggest dream is to see one someday, and dive with them.
@@FaLkraydz Seeing wild free Orca in the Ocean is amazing!!
@@Tarathathe77wookiee is it possible to dive with them?
Too bad death was his only way to freedom 😥
Honestly think they shouldn’t be in captivity. They travel with their family. They need open sea 🌊 to be truly free. Size alone isn’t right to be in captivity. My fav mammals indeed.
They are the ultimate predators of the ocean and still growing in population.
M...m
They literally take them away from their family
Reflex your right. Awful . They travel with their pack. Continue to cry for their lost family.

Killer whales and dolphins are more fun to watch in the ocean.
But can they do tricks?
@@NevrrPresntt yes they're just not forced to.
True.
Geeze Luizzz Yes. If you’ve ever been in a boat and been lucky enough for them to follow you. They basically ride the waves your boat makes, they even swim upside down. It’s truly fascinating.
Well they are actually Orcas the biggest dolphin I the world and apex predator, the only reason they are called “Killer whales” is because of the size of the whales they eat. They are not whales.
Considering how smart and how close they are to humans, I can see why those incidents happened at SeaWorld. In the wild it seems like they're harmless to humans and are just dominating the ocean as we dominate the land.
The age average is wrong males live to be about 60-70 and females live for 80-100 years:)
They obviously got the stats from SeaWorld
@@secretlyamazing hey there is a thing called the internet also there is a movie blackfish
2shayZEE ha!!! That tickled me 🎯
@@riahr.2467 Blackfish is biased based on the directors thoughts. Dont believe it and get the actual facts.
@@catherinepacatte8808 so what's your take on the captive dolphins? And you dont believe most of the messages and facts In the movie
Mother killer whales will carry there dead calves for weeks showing they have the capability to mourn. A mother orca named Tahlequah exhibited this behavior recently on the Pacific coast.
Weeks?
The corpse would rot to pieces in the ocean in days not weeks.
The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo. Nope. I get what your saying though, it would be horrific to witness. Here’s the link
th-cam.com/video/_-jpvT7cIzc/w-d-xo.html
Yeah I live in that area and a gloom just hung around our island community for those two weeks
The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo. Yes and yet she carried her dead calf for at least 17 days. Also, she's pregnant again as we speak.
You agree killer whale mothers' have ability to mourn for weeks for their dead calves. Do you also agree these same mothers' also mourn deeply when humans capture their calves?
No question about it! Keeping Orca in captivity is obscenely cruel ! Their intelligence means they need mental stimulation, variety and challenge . Much as we do. It is the equivalent of keeping a baby in a cardboard box . We do not keep dogs or cats in cramped confinement. Orca are significantly more intelligent and needful of variety of experience. It is a shameful indictment of our culture to inflict such cruelty
100% agree
His name was Tilikum, and he suffered immensely throughout his life at sea world.
I do not think that dolphins, orcas, beluga whales, nothing like that should be allowed in captivity. They were never intended to be in captivity, they belong with their families. Just like on blackfish, the man that was with the crew that caught Tilley, it is just like kidnapping a human child from their families. Their enclosures are not large enough for them to actually be living in, they are tortured when you stop to think about it, and the theme parks are only looking for more money in their pockets than they actually care for the animal itself. Just like the one news anchor lady said, how would you feel if you were kept in a bathtub for over 25 years, I have to agree, I would be getting really irritated as well. These animals do not belong in captivity, they belong in the wild, where God intended them to live. Leave them alone and let them live their lives. They do not attack humans, they are just like any other dolphin, they will protect a human life. They are social animals and they want to be friendly to people as well. Leave them alone and just watch them from a boat. They do not belong on display in an aquarium or theme park!
Tammy Rich size and fact they need their family to travel for their survival. My favs indeed. No captivity makes me sick
Well said! Couldn't agree with you more. Breaks my heart thinking about their suffering.
Tillikum was ca[tured in Iceland. The quote you are refering too was from John Crowe, the man that participated in the violent Penn Cove Captures. He was speaking about the moment he dragged Lolita (who is the whale in Miami) out of the wild and into captivity.
They also were not meant to die from plastics, toxins, by-catch, shootings, ship strikes, etc. One thousand cetaceans are killed daily Worldwide due to 7.3 Billion people, with that number going up every day. So I guess it's okay to let these animals die off because of our greed. There are fewer that 13 Vaquita left, fewer that 20 Maui's dolphin left, the Yangtze dolphin went functionally extinct in 2006 and the list goes on with all species of cetaceans dwindling. Let them die while you and those like you sit in judgement, on your keyboard doing nothing.
You are aware though that dolphins have been known to attack and rape people…. right?
Love the Orca, no fear, highly intelligent and they should be left in their own environment NOT held in captivity ♥️🌎

And they have the gall to act surprised and shocked 🤣
I said it all !!!( I v RIGHT . THANK U
I mean YOU SAID IT ALL ! THANK YOU. ORCAS ARE BENIGN ANIMALS AND GORGEOUS.
A MALE ORCA LIVES UP TO 50 TO 60. ORCA MALE RUFFLES LIVED UP TO 59 Y O IN THE WILD.
HE WAS A SOUTHERN RESIDENT ORCA. HAVE PHOTOS OF HIM
FEMALES CAN REACH 90 Y O
Orcas always FREE !!!!
Life expectancy of 29 years is only in captivity.
You’re wrong about their life span. Males up to 50 females up to 90-100
**STAY AWAY FROM SEA WORLD**
aaah tex ....you owe SeaWorld a huuuuuge Thank you for all the good the did do.
Smack ....😂 You are ignorant

there are worse places with orcas than seaworld, and why go after just the orcas? why not the other animals?
Narrator- " orcas don't live as long as other whales "
Me- I thought you said that they weren't whales?!
I loved your video and only have two remarks: (1) yes, orcas are dolphins, but the family of dolphins, in turn, are whales, more specifically toothed whales (whereas the other whales are called baleen whales), and (2) please do include metric measures as well, I did not imagine how big they are at all with just the US metric system. And the others already exposed the 30-year-old life expectancy as a lie made by Seaworld to justify the animals' short life span when in captivity. I mean, downright disgusting. Never support the captivity of anyone, let alone intelligent creatures with culture and documented social interactions and connections. Not even in the name of 'science', true scientific findings can namely only arise from studying animals in their natural habitat, otherwise, all their behaviour is distorted and thus also the findings. Garbage in, garbage out; except here we also have a high moral cost to pay in addition.
No animal should be forced into captivity
they live a lot longer than you said
male: 60-70
female: 80-100
yepp ;D
yup totally right, only ones who say the live shorter lives is the ones who hold em in captivity and drive them crazy or suicidal or whatever...
You are right mate
similar to humans
Seaworld got to them.
Orcas are my favorite animal because they kind of cute but very dangerous sometimes
They also play with their food. Throwing it back n forth with each other, playing catch.
Makes a cat playing with a mouse look merciful!
@Titanus Godzilla 2019 well who knows if one day you are unlucky enough to be their plaything to teach their cubs how to hunt.. they are wild animals not a pet
Killer of Wales
In a faraway land a welshman just got shivers down his spine
Orcas live way longer then you said.
whatupavareacts 0_0 yeah true Orcas can live up to 100 yrs old
you are correct
Let’s not forget all the orcas who die in the capturing. Even excluding special cases, like Granny, the matriarch who lived to an estimated 102, orcas not only live vastly longer lives in the wild, their lives are immensely richer in the wild environment. Captivity kills by boredom!
in captivity they die as teenagers
Ya he’s using sea world propaganda
I am fortunate enough to live on the shores of the Salish Sea. Here we have resident Orca pods which are fish eaters. Unlike their transient pinniped eating cousins out along the coast they are often quite vocal. I actually sang with them a couple times while spear fishing. Many of the captive Orca are descendants if those taken from their families in these waters decades ago. They are very social creatures who are far too intelligent to be kept as slaves to entertain a bunch of howling apes.
Totally agree !!!!!!!!!
They should not be kept in captivity
You're really original you know
I believe that one Orca attack was at Point Sur near Big Sur, CA in the 1970's. It's a super wild area and mistaken identity is understandable. I grew up near Monterey bay CA. not far at all from Point Sur. Those areas have tons of seal rockeries. One time I was running on Del Monte Beach used to all the time and both Orca pods and great whites hunting seals quite commonly. Carmel, CA near point sur is full of all these creatures. Been chased many times from the shore up onto the dunes due to frightened seals being chased by a pod or great white very close to shore. My parents never believed me until last summer they were walking along Del Monte Beach a huge seal came racing out of the waves baring it's teeth and scared when my parents looked back at the water a pod of orcas swam off. I've seen three great whites breach while hunting it's very strange when watching at first it doesn't seem real and you know what's right off shore. Completely believe these smart, clever, social emotional, apex animals should be in the wild only much like a great white that's their home and should be no place else.
Not TO BE CONFUSED BY A SEAL IS SIMPLE
JUST SPEAK
ORCAS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEAL VOCALIZATION. EAND HUMANS VOCALIZATION.
TALK LOUD JUST IN CASE
Their names are pronounced Orcinus (Orsinus) , males also live up to 50 years, they also grow from 16-32feet long, the Antarctic type C grow from 16-19 feet long. The largest Orca ever was also over 10 tons. Tilikum a 22 foot bull Orca was over 6 tons. A 30 foot bull Orcinus Orca is well over 8 tons.
I love my orcas, one day I'll see them in person..one day
You finer than a ballpoint pen.
I want to swim with them
@@tayo0404 I want to be ugh next to them..in a boat low enough I can touch them..but not in the water with them lol..I love them but respect their power even more
I want to as well. ORCAS ARE MY ABSOLUTELY FAVOURITE ANIMAL ON EARTH
THEY ARE SPECIAL
There name was translated from Spanish to English from Whale Killer to Killer Whale, if I'm not mistaken.
Pretty sure orcas can live up to 80 to 100 years in the wild. A female orca called Granny was found to be 104 (not 100% sure).
In captivity though, they die as teenagers around the age of 15.
You´re right. The numbers in the video are brutally wrong. These are numbers sea world trying to teach us, so they dont look stupid when the whales die at the age of 20.
I do have pictures of GRANNY AND LUMINI. LUMINI LIVED UP TO HER 90 IES
THEY WERE SOUTHERN RESIDENT ORCAS AND KNEW EACH OTHER
RUFFLES THE MALE ORCA FROM THE SAME POD LIVED UP TO 59 YO. NEARLY 60
Yes my favorite animal
but think how they are taken from the wild do you know how dolphins and orcas like taken into captivity they are slaughtered by the Japanese and then sold to aquariums
it's heart breaking to think of them in captivity. no whales and dolphins should be in captivity ever. I visited seaworld once and it broke my heart. I'll never do it again. They are too intelligent to keep locked up. They are little better than prisoners in those pools and worse, they did nothing wrong to be there and were probably ripped from their families or forcibly bred to put them there.
YOU ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!!!!!!!
They live way longer then you said they have life spans like that of a human
Dolphins should not be in captivity. They are too smart to not recognize a prison.
People need to stop saying orcas live up to 100 years old. Only one known orca reached that age, a female named J2 "Granny" who was a little over 100 years old. Many orcas in the wild die young, mostly before they reach 10 years of age, and many calves don't survive their first days, weeks or months of life. In average, males reach about 20 or 30 and females about 30 to 40 or even 50, though it depends on the ecotype. Call me crazy, but orcas at SeaWorld tend to have a longer lifespan. Currently, their oldest orcas range from 30 to 54 years old and they're all thriving. It's a feat for many wild orcas to reach that age.
No, dolphins are best living in the wild because they have families.
wtf orcas are dolphins and do have families wdym
did you even watch the video or look online for 1 second
Says killer whales are actually not whales at all they are more closely related to dolphins but then say that they don’t live as long as other whales??
because Orcas and Dolphins are in fact whales.
this video has misinformation in it.
@@KingPossum They are cetaceans, not whales. Everyone uses the term "whale" very loosely, and probably very few people know what a "cetacean" is unless the study biology or zoology. Orcas are dolphins, and dolphins are a type of cetaceans
@@valeriaferrari5890 all whales are cetaceans...
@@valeriaferrari5890 cetaceans and whales is the same, just the scientific therm "cetacean" is as most scientific name latin, and goes why the englisch word for cetacean is, whale. The mistake everyones does is think that whales are only the blue whale and the humpback whale. but guess what, dolphins are in the group of the tooted whales, like the sperm whales, this means a sperm whale is even closer to a dolphin than to a humpback whale, because the second is a baleen whale, the same for blue whale. But they are all whales.
Orcas are actually whales. Whales, or Cetaceans, are divided into 2 groups. 1.Baleen(no-teeth) 2. Toothed whales, which includes sperm whales, beluga whales,dolphins, etc.
Whales are whales, cetaceans are cetaceans. The correct nomenclature is "true whales" for balleen whales, while odontocetes (toothed whales) are called whales only because it's easier for everyone to say baleen vs toothed whales, and possibly because everyone was calling them all whales before so the name stuck around (like for killer whales, or pilot whales)
@@valeriaferrari5890 OMG! Wrong! Do your research. All Cetaceans are whales, all whales are cetaceans. They are then sub-divided. Like all Chevrolets are cars but not all cars are Chevrolets. Also, I defy anybody to find a scientific notation about "True Whales". They are whales, even porpoises are whales, they are just small with spade shaped teeth (toothed-whales) . The amount of wannbes spreading incorrect information is staggering.
@@valeriaferrari5890 You're wrong. Whales = Cetaceans. All descended from the same land animal
I swear if one more dork says that Orcas are whales, I'm going to go insane.
@@Serotoonladder Whales are cetaceans, but a cetacean is not a whale. Do some actual research please.
They are curious, playful and intelligent. Their captivity is the cruelest possible thing to have happened to them.
Honestly, the thumbnail pic is freaking AMAZING!
Love everything about Orcas and the background music too!!! Great job, keep it up!!! 👍
I feel sorry for you if you think this pit of misinformation was a great job.
fact number 1 wasn't even correct, it was partially correct but it said Orcas weren't whales yet dolphins are whales and Orcas are dolphins making Orcas whales.
how can you possibly think a great job was done on this video?
Orcas have distinct cultures based on there locations as well.
Dolphins...are a type of whale tho...The whale in the traditional sense is called a Baleen Whale, but dolphins are scientifically considered to be "toothed whales." So while yes, Orcas are dolphins, they still are also whales--as are every other type of dolphin.
@ 7:33 , Is there a global shortage of Pilot Whale images that I'm not aware of?
Because what was shown at the moment the narrator was mentioning Pilot Whales was clearly not Pilot Whales but were in fact , if I'm not mistaken, Humpback Whales , which don't resemble Pilot Whales in the slightest, with Pilots not being baleen whales, which Humpbacks in fact are, just for starters.
( If this actually is a case of there being a shortage of Pilot Whale images, my apologies and DM me if you'd like........I've got a friend who deals in black market Pilot Whale images, he can make sure that you'll never be in the position where you're forced to show an image of a Humpback when you're actually talking about a Pilot, ever again!)
Hi. According to my research, five animals go through menopause instead of three as you've mentioned. 4 of the 5 animals live underwater. :)
I've followed Tilikum's story for nearly over 20 years, got to see him twice in his lifetime. Trust me, he was an amazing sight to see. Very vocal and looked to always be in his prime. His size was unreal to see, and when he swam next to the viewing tank, you could feel his power. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed seeing him that close as I'd never would of had a chance too if not for Sea World, but his life there was pretty horrific. RIP Tilikum.
After telling us that Orcas are, in fact, dolphins, not whales, why then would you give statistics of their lifespan based upon the lifespan of whales? That's like saying, "a wolf is not a big cat but they live 'x amount of time' longer/shorter lives compared to big cats." 🤔🤔
Also, "Tilly" was a nickname and the subject of "Blackfish" was actually called "Tilikum". Although, you could probably have called him anything you wanted because it's not likely he understood what sound you made referred to him.
Orca are my favourite animal in the world
Never understood why they call them killer whales. They actually can be a very loyal animal to humans.
Scott Worley they get the name killer what because, they are killers of whales. They hunt and kill humpback whales, blue whales, and more
They arent loyal to humans. Killer whales dont see us as prey, we share a lot of cultural behaviors and they have rich and strict social structures, unique dialects and prey preferences.
@@CleverClover2023 maybe loyal wasn't the right word. Look up Luna the orca. A whale in Canada that wouldn't leave the locals alone
Spanish sailors that first discovered them witnessed them killing whales and named them "ballena asesina", which translates to killer whale.
Killer whales are EXACTLY like humans. They have language, culture, problem solving skills, long term memory and they are complete and utter bastards to the rest of the mammals and fish around them!
They just don’t pollute.
Free Orcas 💪
Orcas have a highly developed social component inherent in their nature. To remove a calf, just as the death of a calf is traumatizing to both the calf and the rest of the pod. The pods have been known to follow capture boats while calling to their young. The captive environment would never replicate the natural one, life span is shorter, health declines, and the animals suffer depression. Tillicum’s case was absolutely heart breaking. I would never support sea world or similar seaquarium. Never.
You are TOTALLY RIGHT MY FRIEND !!! LOVED TILLY
ALL dolphins ARE whales.
Orcas are 'oceanic dolphins' and they are classified between beaked whales and the belugas, narwhals and porpoises.
Other dolphins are between beaked whales and spem whales.
Stop saying they are not whales!
Can u do Blue Whales next?! I love them!
Sounds like this is narrated by John Cleese. Haha. I love it.
Orca are whales, your opinion not withstanding. Yes, they are dolphins, however, dolphins are whales. Dolphins are cetaceans. Cetaceans are whales. The order cetacea is split into 2 orders, mysticeti and odontoceti. Sperm whales, dolphins narwhals and beaked whales are all odontoceti. Therefore, orca are whales.
Those are not orcas at 0:06, but humpback whales ...
I hate normal dolphins but I love orcas/killer whales
Well first of all, Orcas live far longer then what was stated in the video. You should really check your facts first before making an accurate video of an orca or any animal for that matter. I mean I'm not an expert, and I don't claim to be; but I used to do research when I was bored in school, which was a lot of the time. Males can live up to 60-70 years or more and females can reach between 80 to 90 years, possibly more. Their life span can be that of a human life span at times and not as short as your video claimed they live for.
don't forget they said Orcas aren't whales they are dolphins, which dolphins are whales so Orcas are whales.
First of all, Orca's and/or Killer Whale's are not Whales nor have they ever been, and Dolphins aren't whales either. They are not even related to Whales. Yes, they may both be sea mammals, and they both breath air at the surface; but that's where it ends. They are simply NOT related in the least. The Orca is in fact the largest species of dolphin and not a whale. Please read a book once in a while, it might get you far, or least a better understanding of the facts.
@@AngelFace-ff9yf probably have a short life span in captivity
Orcas live longer than 29 yrs and you bloody well know it. Do not use captivity rhetoric when talking about these majestic souls
Orcas live a lot longer than you said. Male orcas can live until 1,000,000 years old and females can live to be 11,000,000 years old. They can also use their fins like magic wands to cast spells.
Tiger H. Lore I already knew that. (Your sarcasm was much appreciated.)
It's not "evolving" when it comes to Orcas,and Humans.
It's called "Adapting" We adapt to our Surroundings.
To get all the skills needed ,for exploiting the environment,in our advantage
80 to 100 years
I am in awe with these orcas . Highly intelligent beautiful mammals. Different techniques to hunt . They absolutely shouldn’t be in captivity. They live longer, healthier and happier in open seas . They feel loss when one of theirs is captured. Heartbreaking 💔. They only attack in captivity. One can’t blame them. People need not go to those places . Want to see a orcas go whale watching…
male orcas averages about 60 Years and female Orcas averages about 80 up to 100 years. The numbers you said are the numbers sea world try to teach us.
That’s really cool love the facts
"When it comes to their lifespan however, they don't live as long as other whales." Didn't you just say they weren't whales?
orcas are dolphins and dolphins are whales.

They’re just big ass dolphins 😂 but way more savage than regular dolphins! My favorite ocean animal!!
Orcas in SeaWorld lap their tanks 3000 times a day to make up what she does in the ocean, that says something
My favorite animal 💙
Don’t buy a ticket to any marine park!!!!
As much as I like to see them, since I saw Blackfish. It's time we stop. I'm ALL for bringing in injured whales and helping them get back to where they belong but in NO way am I ever gonna contribute to that capture of these animals to stay in captivity. We as humans are not giving these animals the proper care they need
Thank you for using the name Orca. I absolutely hate the “Killer Whale” moniker.
Dislike is from seaworld
Males live from 60 to 70+ years
Females live from 80 to 100+ years
love your flag
@@ceciliam1313 thank you
80-100 years! My Ex is a Whale, so this news is deeply upsetting. thanks
1. Cheetahs
2. Orcas

5. You see where this is going
Ahh.... my spirit animal... :)))))
"There are no known animal species to evolve based on culture, except for Orcas." This is NOT true. Most great whales do, including Humpback and Sperm whales. On the land side of things, Elephants, chimpanzees, crows, magpies, even some species of gorillas do; most notably Silver-back gorillas. It's been noted that there's a group of Silver-back gorillas in the Conga that are very similar to how a gang works.
This whole "orca aren't whales" thing has to stop. All dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphins. Dolphins belong to the order Cetacea(whales), just like chimpanzees belong to the order primates. So saying "orca aren't whales" is a stupid as saying chimps aren't primates.
To all the people commenting on how wild Orcas have longer lifespans then what the video tells: No! They don´t. Not nowadays. It´s possible that this is caused by stress due to human activity (polution, overfishing, hunting, habitat lost), but a 70 YO male or an 80 YO female are extremely rare ocurrences. It´s like claiming that human life expectancy is 100 to 120 because on the few notable individuals who have reachd such ages.
Captive Orcas live even shorter lives, most having died in their 10´s or 20´s. Their infant mortality rate is even higher then in the wild. Those are the reasons I´ve oposed cetacians in captivity for any reason other then reabilitation for many years.
You´re definitely wrong. I´m studying marine Biology and I swear by god that Orcas definitely reach the 60´s (male) and 80-100 years the female. So stop writing some kind a shit.
@@yornus_martinus3093 most of the wild Orcas studied in recent years didn't live to those ages. Most ancient Orcas' age (Granny and Old Tom) is estimated by the time span in which they were observed in the wild by people other then biologists. And this can give a lot of incorrect results. An younger Orca can be mistaken for an older one, making it look like she had lived longer then she actually did. Observations by marine biologists and the study of biological material indicate that most female Orcas don't live past their 60's and most males die in their late 20's or early 30's.
This can be due to human activity though. Maybe the farther a population of Orcas is from human influence, the longer they leave. But that is yet to be proved.
Orcas. Second in line for apex predator in today’s world... humans have number one
They are the apex predators of the ocean.
While humans being apex predators is debatable.
"They are not even whales"
Already wrong. Every member of the Oceanic Dolphin family are literally whales by taxonomic definition. They belong to the toothed whales, and what is called "whale" vs. dolphin or porpoise by the common man in the cetaceans (whales) really is dependent on size, and Orcas are big enough.
Dolphins, Orcas, any animal, should not be kept in captivity/slavery. It’s cruel, inhuman, unconscionable. Sanctuary may be necessary for some animals, those close to extinction, the injured, poached, but they should have real lifelike, expansive land, water living conditions, and never be exploited for any reason. Some humans can be so cruel.
It's obscene for Orcas and Dolphins to be captured for the entertainment of humans. Though the captivity at aquariums is thought to be benign, do you think humans in prisons think their imprisonment is benign? The people who work with captive orcas and dolphins deserve what they get when an orca gets pissed off at being held captive. These trainers are nothing short of evil.
dolphins ARE whales (- _ -)
No dolphins and whales are cetaceans

With technology (Internet) being as advanced as it is, it is no longer necessary to have zoos or the likes of Sea World. Especially when it comes to such intelligent creatures as whales, dolphins, wild cats and primates. I'm sure others will find more examples to expand this list. As animals such as tigers, lions, rhinos, eagles, become endangered species, that's where national parks and animal reserves become necessary. But zoos and circuses should be done away with. There are plenty of films free on the internet that the whole world can watch almost all animals to their heart's content without subjecting animals to a prison.
Has anyone imprisoned a human baby in a cage? When will the SeaWorld owner and shareholders will be separated from their families and forced to live in cages?
Someone already call this guy out for calling a Humpback Whale a Pilot Whale? 7:31
i was just scrolling through so check the same, a shame an otherwise interesting video had so many errors
"Killed three different people . . . "? Um. How could it have killed the same person more than once?
This guy's voice is like fingernails on a chalk board. Yikes!
Absolutely - and the music was equally terrible.
This sounds like the "Hello, and welcome...to Jumanji" guy
These majestic creatures should never be kept in captivity. They're so intelligent that it's cruel and unusual punishment to keep them in captivity in SeaWorld.
I don't know what's worse, keeping them in captivity because they lost the ability to survive in the ocean, or just letting them all go and seeing if they can adapt back to survive in the wild.
Very very few wild caught killer whales would ever be able to return to the wild. Those born in captivity would never survive in the wild. They lack the cultural upbringing, language skills and often have serious behavior issues. The only option for them to be in the 'wild' is in a sea sanctuary. They could experience the ocean world, but still remain in human care and not be forced to do tricks for their food.
Yay
Sea World was built to use captive animals to attract paying visitors like zoos and aquariums. It is there to make a profit for the owners. Some of these places add breeding rare animals and scientific research to their beneficial activities.
I've head it said that dolphins "enjoy" living in captivity. One easy way to prove it: open the sea gates and give them the chance to go or stay. If they stay, then I'll admit it.
There was a case where the US Navy trained a dolphin for some purpose [can't remember] - the first time it was deployed in open water, it buggered off and never came back.
Seems to answer the question.
One time some girl made the dolphin have sexual relations with her to get him to learn english. By that i mean the girl was doing some stuff with his third leg.
@@secynes8682 - there was a report years ago about some male diver masturbating a dolphin in full view of a boat full of tourists. This was in UK waters.
Wild Orcas can live up to 80 years, its the Sea World Orcas that only live to 29. This is false information.
10. They ain't whales
9. They don't weigh as much as other whales.
Huh ?????
jon wilson right?
But I think they're technically a whale, like porpoises and Dolphins are whales. But they're Odontoceti (teeth) not mysticeti (baleen)
@@nickniehaus1763 Thats right, all members of the dolphin family are small toothed whales.
so what we learned in this video is that What Lurks Below
doesn't have a clue what they are talking about and are just spewing trash from their blowhole.
@@nickniehaus1763 I can assure you, the correct term "whales" is only for mysticeti, so baleen whales like blue whales, humpback whales, etc. Odontocetes and mysticetes belong to the orden "cetacea", so what we call cetaceans. Porpoises and dolphins are not whales, they are cetaceans
Just like when a human is locked away, a certain depression sets in and the will to live and the light of life fades out, no dolphins should not be in captivity especially if they arent having their needs met
I think the Hooman species might be in a much better place if Grandmothers ruled the world. As long as they don't attack baby seals
