- In January, 2019, an experienced group of killer whale biologists launched an expedition from the southern tip of Chile into some of the roughest waters in the world, searching for what could be a new species of killer whale.

In current times where we generally learn about species extinction it's good to hear about new ones...
It's just like different races.
98% of species ever occurring on earth are already extinct. It's just a giant circle of life..
@Madame Kilbourne yes. Insane. They believe in alien UFO and think they can force them out of the ocean. They need to bend over for Jesus and accept the Spirit is True
@voidremoved I got a good lmao too. But Themis person ain’t completely wrong. Overfishing is creating a lot of competition... too much plastic in the ocean has to be annoying any large ocean dwellers... and there is now a species of orcas that has been feeding in the northern arctic , with brand new strategies. Not surprising, but we are amidst an extinction event, and it’s going to be a boring world when it’s just humans, bugs, and bacteria. Our crops will be just like humans, inside. I’m probably a little off. But it would be nice to see a major powerhouse take it seriously. The iron60 is naturally heating our planet, but America needs to bring manufacturing of green energy home, and then install it at home. We’ve ignored it for over 50 years. It’s sad really. Even I believe in transitional nuclear, yet our yucca mountain complex has denied every state using it, including its own. If you took all of our nuclear waste and tried to put it there, it wouldn’t be large enough. So really it’s time to stop being ignorant to climate change and overpopulation and the plastic damages which have limited options for fixing.
Oh, and there’s the acidity in the ocean going up thanks to loopholes for large boats which are pumping the exhaust into he water instead of the air and the list continues really...
This Orca is usually seen in south of Chile,🇨🇱 close to Antarctica, fishermen of my country always talk about it 🐬
Can’t wait for the results to come out!
Will you be a pleased Orca when they do?
to do Most likely
Be a pleased orca
@@orcawithdrip827- 'to do' will be pleased if you put that on 'to do' list. A listles Orcinus orca is a pernicious orca, whether in Morocca or Norc America.
I know what'll cheer you up u see that great white go flip it over and eat it's liver for fun
Is it more appropriate to suggest they're a subspecies, instead of a completely new species?
My thoughts exactly. Maybe you get better name recognition if you discover new species. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
New species allways were subspecies once^^
That will largely depend on what the genetic analysis shows, i.e. the degree of difference. In any event, if they're not distinct species now, they're on the road to that since they are reproductively incompatable.
It's new species if they're evolving.
If it was only a few traits that are different then it will be a sub species but these killer whales look a lot different from normal killer whales which is why they might be classified as a new species depending on the test results.
I'm so amazed by this video I've heard very little about the type D killer whales before this. I can't wait to hear their distinct vocalizations! Very good research thanks for sharing
It's LATE 2020. I WANT MY ANSWERS!
It's now MID 2024, HAVE THEY BEEN ANSWERED?
@@brandonhoffman4712NO THEY HAVEN’T!!!!🫨🫨🫨
Well done. The new subspecies argument is convincing, but to call this a new species would be a stretch.
Depends on the genetics my man. Phenotypic traits are misleading especially in cetaceans where environmental pressures produce very similar body plans.
@@bigtomo69er Hogwash. Scientists using the same methods could easily call humans different species using their own criteria.
Maybe it's Antarctic killer whales and they're bigger in size and more handsome in appearance. Kind of like Asian and African elephants
I think this team of scientists straight candidate for some big yearly scientific prize. Great job.
It differs because of narrow dorsal fins and curve..but I love the type A orcas as they are bulky and their dorsal fins are straight and tall
It’s amazing that we still are discovering new species/sub species and thought to be extinct species in this world just blows my mind
u know, we have actually only explored 5% of the ocean, wich means 95% of the ocean is still a mystery
Holy cow, that was risky biscuits; the Orca's said hey we'll give them a bit of DNA for their troubles... They probably won't make it back to land anywho.
Excited for the results of the new *subspecies*
I look forward to hearing about the findings, awesome job guys.
It turns out their differences are the result of a lot of inbreeding
That's really interesting. They definitely do have their own distinctive look. I'm sure they'll have they're own special dialect as well.
I live in NZ I have seen orcas out there fishing just passing through us in the morning i didn't see much just some dorsal find that was about it. And during winter its a massive group of around 15-30 common dolphins and they get so close to the boat I feel like could reach out and touch one :)
Despite the fact that I’m an Orca fan, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Type D Orcas.
Calvaran: King of the West they’ve been upgraded like a FA-18 Super Hornet !!!!!!!!
Blips Mann or the Giant Asian Murder Hornet! 😂😂😂
Your work will be appreciated by the future Generations
Amazing God Bless y’all
I think they are more like a "race" rather than another species.
Race is actually a non-scientific category, including in the classifying of humans.
"family"
Well, I’m sure you’re qualified to make that scientific claim.
*my gosh I'm so excited of these finding*
Why do they always do the video before the lab results come back?
Gosh, what you guys are doing is something that I always wanted to do.
The problem being that I haven't got the resources to fly over to New Seeland and participate in such an expedition.
Welcome to the 99% club lol me to
Honestly some things are best left alone they last longer
The Salish Sea J Pod is almost extinct. Thanks to SeaWorld decimating their numbers, and now virtually no Chinook salmon for them to eat. This "new" species should be protected.
SeaWorld killed the Salmon? What?
mind - I don’t remember ever seeing a trained Salmon exhibit at SeaWorld. Was it good?
Say no to drugs I hate sea world as much as the next person but that wouldn’t affect their numbers
the endangered orcas that eat chinook salmon are called southern residents. this is type d and is not as studied as the southern residents
Jay Morgan 👍🏽
Wouldnt that be a subspecies? As a biologist, im thinking its still a killer whale. Like the subspecies of elephants... are still of the elephant species... hmmmmm.
still a O.orca. Yes, I am a whaler, i eat dolphins, i try kill them humanely and do it sustainably and not take more than needed. not commercial.
hate me all u want, never gonna change, for me whale/dolphin meat is normal, like u eat pigs, cow etc and people in india think eatiing that is weird and an outrage.
but lets do facts here:
Killer whale is correct english term, since "orca" is totally in correct since its a binomial nomencleture, and is the species. u can NOT do that without putting in genera/genus) Orcinius. genus always capital first letter, species NEVER! many animals can share same species name, like "orca" but NEVER share same genus and species at same time, so Orcinus orca or O. orca is taxonomically correct. since there could be a H. orca, the O. orca is VERY important.
secondly, stop correcting from "its not a whale but a dolphin" it sounds retarded because its so much deeper. in ceataceans (whales) there are families and subfamilies. dolphins belong to Delphinanea, family. thats a family in ceataceans(whales in common speak) so yes they are whales! Blue whales and Bowhead are not only not in same genus they not even in same family. as big a difference between them as between O. orca and the blue whales(cant remember their binomial nomencleture, i am spider person, not marine person(spiders belong in entomology) So point, they are whales!
another point. all domesticated animals started as wild caught and wild animals. keeping big whales like killer whales in captivity should only be done if u have a bio setup, with natural prey(live prey) and not chlorinated water but bio flora and a HUGE tank and a good pod. then its okay :) But NO ONE could ever afford that! so it cant be done
setting them free? 1. most will die, they cant even hunt! 2. most are hybrids. their are subspecies in the O. orca, and seaworld etc have mixed the subspecies and we do NOT want to pollute if one survives and crossbreeds! period! keep animal bloodlines clean! enough animals are destroyed, just look at snake hobby!
attacks in wild DO OCCUR! and they are violent! search "hans+surfer+california+72+killer whale+bite" and u can see many sites with several attacks. NON fatal YET but bloody and serious! so stop the myth about no attacks in the wild. and just because there is no recorded fatality does not mean it has not happened. MANY people die each year from snake bites but officially maybe 100-200 world wide die because no official report or cause of death is done. same with shark attacks. so there might be more attacks even fatal ones which has not been recorded and hence not in official statistics.
Youre a biologist and come up with such an point without any solid argument? Just a very poor example regarding elephants
@Hairy Wombat theres differnce, orcas in different parts of thr world use different sounds, hunt in very different ways, fins are of different sizes and some 'sub' spieces are on average a bit bigger or smaller
@@oliverroberts7490 dolphins are not endangered...and its more humane to eat an animal thats lived all its life free than one in a farm
@Hairy Wombat you bearly know how i look
So exciting!! Great work!!!
Finally....it was more than two years ago when I first learned of these Whales type D...can't wait
I just learned about these a few months ago. Any word on the analyses?
@@MrFreezeProduct Not that I know of, but that might be TH-cam being slow, as it has a big habit of shoving five to ten year old videos in my face. I will research online to see if any updates
They mentioned 'end of 2020'. So maybe they're still analysing?
Thank you for sharing and educating me. Amazing and awesome. Blown away. I love marine biology and conservation work. Bravo
Sounds intriguing. How long for the results?
So cute! Has there been any updates?
Great video thank you.
Those large dorsal fins are amazing.
Amazing work...
you've got to have a death wish to take a sailboat to the southern ocean. i love killer whales, but love life a wee bit more.
Killer whales dont attack humans. There's never been a documented case of an attack in the wild or any evidence that might suggest it. They're just big dolphins
@@TheSuperhoden i think he means the danger of taking a sail boat into the southern ocean
@@fernandocouto4774 there has never been a reported incident of any Killer whale attacking a human in the wild
@@kevinbaboolal4225 Exactly. The storms are hellish.
@@fernandocouto4774 uhu in captivity. But in the wild you have a bigger chance of being killed by a cow than being attacked by a dolphin
I love orcas can’t wait to see them
Where are you going to see them?
@@hollohuman1256 hopefully in may at west cost of Scotland. I know type D is down Southern Hemisphere so I be seeing there cousin’s
@@scottishgodzillabigfan :) not seaworld I'm happy. Also if u remember this, comment a link to some photos I'd love to see them
@@hollohuman1256 I well try
can't wait for the results of the DNA. thank you for a great video.
Looks like you'll have to wait.
"We got the first sample of a type d killer whale." Sample rolls off the bench*
I love the people that are doing this kind of research around the world. Thank you.
Why? They're not doing anything important. Pick any of 57,000 vertebrates and go watch it and jot notes and go home thinking you are important. Its just observational masturbation.
"OMG we noticed a spot under this groups eyes! And the head is rounder! The world needs more people like us."
You're about 150 years too late, folks. We already know there's variation in nature, i.e. 1859 The Origin of Species, one Charles Darwin.
If you can call these Orcas their own species then there are many species of humans walking the earth right now....
well since you mention it theres been found 18% non homo sapiens dna in some west african populations from a ghost lineage leaving the possibility we find more and perhaps more in different people.
@@magnipettersson4432 No, many people have Neanderthal blood. Scientists used to think Neanderthals were a different species, now most do not. Going by minor physical differences is not a way to define species. Species are defined by the ability to interbreed and produce fertile offspring, which Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens did, and I'm sure these Orcas can too.
@@MoraqVos So you agree with the OP.
My dream is to see orca
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.
Perfect for me who always open 30+ tabs somehow lol
Kings of the oceans, nothing even comes close.
This is so amazing and they're so beautiful!!! ❤️🦋
Their more proper name is Orca but this guy calls himself the Killer Whale expert.
Says the armchair expert....
@@IndustrialMindedArtist They are orcas. "Killer whale" is just another example of how everyday people can misinterpret what they think that they saw.
@@notsure1277 if a rose were a rose by any other name would you still be an idiot?
@@indeedmyson its not a rose its a thorny flower 🙄
Common names are used by scientists everywhere. The scientist here is correct
oh look a new species of killer whale, lets break out the crossbow !!!
The music behind is exagerately loud and enoying.
LIked, shared, and subscribed on the spot.
Thank you for the work that you all do in such hazardous and threatening conditions.
I hope you fins a Type Z Killer Whale.
I wish you rainbows.
fins a Type Z Killer Whale?
Man, stuff like this is so interesting to me.. I’ve never seen those weird looking round killer whales with the small eye patches
I’m afraid they’ll be extinct very soon because of our greed
They look like different families who probably branched off thousands of years ago.
I swear thats the exact way that i’d see killer whales as typically looking, definitely more so then the other types, maybe its just those are the ones i have seen and seen footage of in the southern portion of Australia or something
This is astounding news! Wait, wait, wait, I'm not going to get too excited until the lab results come back.
Can the different species breed with each other? And do they?
Do they have a preference for a specific water density?
Is this an example of watching niche partitioning in action?
Any update on the DNA sample?
Hmm! Rather interesting!
I was fishing in BC when a pod approached. I said to my girlfriend, I'm getting in the water. She was freaking out thinking I'd be eaten, but the Killer Dolphins were awesome. I could scratch them. What an experience! I may do it again.
Killer dolphins!
@@NyanyiC Technically you could call them that. I don't know why the term "Whale" was applied. My guess is it happened many years ago and was simply based on size and appearance. I'd like to see Whale removed, but then what? They're only killers when they're grabbing food. It's not like they roam the oceans aimlessly killing other wildlife. What we call Dolphins are the same. They hunt for hunger.
I've seen killer Whales playing with Salmon. They don't eat the fish, just play. It seems when they're not hungry they're as curious as us. They say, "Curiosity killed the cat". What would the saying be about Killer Whales? Oh, I know. Luna was a one time buddy of mine. We could say, "Playing with the Tug Boat killed the Orca". :)
Watching discovery shows for the past 15-20 years i always noticed that most if not all orcas found around antarctica all have the very small white eye patch above the eyes
Bruh
They weren't type D though. Type D hasn't been seen in Antarctica.
Good job
And then a telekinetic type-F flies over to the research vessel and says: "so long, and thanks for all the fish!".
I never even knew there are different species of Orca. I know that different pods hunt different prey depending on where they live but that was it. Very interesting video.
these are not different species of orcas, but types of orcas all of the same species!
*waits patiently for results*
Please turn the music off, or at least down. Thanks.
I say turn the music up and drown out these self-inflated NOAA clowns. Nothing surprising about variation in nature, it doesn't need to be "studied and documented" at taxpayer's expense. Darwin nailed it 160 years ago.
Maybe these Biologists might want to be abit careful with this particular rype of orca being that it's a Completely different species.
Have the results come out yet? What are they?
Fantastic
Peaked my interest , keep it coming !
Piqued.
@@marigoldsummer9032 thanks . I used to be better at spelling
Well I never knew pretty much any of that...
I LOVE ORCAS!
I really feel I should put it out there...
Never understood why they called them killer whales instead of orcas. I may be mistaken, but I don't think there's ever been a report of a killer whale hurting a human in the wild. They're extremely smart. I'm wondering if this new species or subspecies is more dangerous?
They're used to be named whale killers
More likely to be a sub-species, or a cross-breed. Some of the physical characteristics look closer to a Pilot Whale. DNA profiling will provide a quick answer.
wow i didet know that species are still on earth
Amazing animals
Same species
I wouldn’t say it looks completely different but cool nonetheless
Incredible
fascinating creatures
THE MUSIC IS DROWNING OUT THE PEOPLE SPEAKING.
Who decided the video needed that noise?
There are varied looks of humans does that mean we are all different species?
Because things can evolve similarly or look similar to something else but be different species that what they’re trying to find out if they are a part of the same species
It has been over 5 months since this vid was downloaded. Do you have results of the tissue tests?
Probably made a year before the upload (not download).
Watch the video. It predicts results in late 2020
They live in such terrible seas, mysterious...
This is crazy
During this slow "pandemic time," I've been studying Orcas on TH-cam. I believe we are witnessing "evolution" in plain sight. These animals are highly intelligent and are merely adapting to the "Over-fishing" of our oceans by large "Commercial fishing" operations. These animals are far more intelligent than we are when it comes to adaptation or evolution. Some of these "killer whales" are targeting Great White Shark livers. Yes, that's correct... they've developed a "taste" for the livers in Great Whites (who are thought to be the most dangerous predators in the waters). If the Commercial Fishing operations are harvesting more from oceans, lakes, and rivers; then what "choices" do dolphins and Orcas have? This is the smart move on an evolutionary basis, as Great White's food sources are also limited. The same can be said about Polar Bears. They will soon have to "adapt or die" to survive the Climate Change. If you do not believe in Climate Change and its irreversible affects... stop reading now. You will just remain as a smaller part of an exponentially larger problem.
@TaeTheConqueror isFat were currently above the elliptical of our galaxy , have been since 2012 less protection from whatever space elements were shielded from naturally, u see the possible volcanic eruption on Mars? Very interesting
Everything is going through evolution everyday the speed of it happening is irrelevant.
That's not how evolution works. Evolution isnt how an animal can adapt to its environment changing, rather who is already most fit for the changes at hand. No animals make this decision, it's purely by chance that some become more fit for their environment than others and are able to survive and mate.
Helps us support Sea Shepard.
Do we really need to know what kind of gene they have by biopsy?
Other than knowing by just look?
For scientific curiosity?
the more we know about these animals in the ocean the easier it is to protect them. this has nothing to do with curiosity, the only way to save this planet is to learn how it works. which is something we have failed in completely . we know more about the universe then our own earth.....
It's a pity the Arctic ice is receding, Killer Whales are wiping out the Narwhal's , probably make them extict.
Actually their numbers are fine. Narwhals numbers are stable according to A.O.F. I worry more about the killer whale numbers but hey I might be impartial to them
@@rickytavilla4259 Lets hope they all survive.
Teddles Peddles What’s up with all this aggressive language? We are just talking and learning from each other.
Only the southern poblation of Narwals is threaten, the north poblation is well outside of their hunting ground. The Narwals could also migrate searching safer waters, the researchers are still loking into it since is something that is just beginning.
@Teddles Peddles Ok, You win, I just got that info from youtube watching a vid where the Orca's got far enough north because their dorsal fins did not have a problem with the ice ,into the birthing area and had a picnic devouring the Narwhals. So there, rude ass.
Right when will they share the results
That's amazing
That's awesome.
Does anybody else see a similarity with Pilot Whales?
Wow
I dont understand how they use the term regional and species interchangeably for killer whales but there is only one human species.
Because if they admit that these organisms are just local varieties of the same species of orca, then they have nothing to proclaim, and their grant money will dry up.
Yah, that's the problem with science, they need to be seen to be doing something even if its absolute nonsense and filling up journals with even more nonsense 🙄
Killer whale has such a negative connotation. Why not just call them Orcas?
interesting
Interesting video... I would not call them new species, but rather subspecies of killer whales.
I wish they used the name orca more
They are called killer whales because that's what they do. They kill and eat other whales, Sharks, and fish.
@@sbeckstead No, not at all. There is a history to the name: they were called "whale killers" because they will attack larger whales. But the general population, because it is generally ignorant and imprecise, reversed the name. But at the end of the day, all heterotrophic organisms are "killers", so it makes no logical sense to single out one species as a "killer". People are "killers", dogs are "killers", and even cows are "killers".
Well either dolphins are mini killer whales or killer whales are giant dolphins..
orca hunt dolphins
Time to make some clones with those samples. Then you wont have to find them at all.
Sometime I wonder, how do their wound heal? Being in the salty water. Time to google! ☝🏻
