- This was an incredible encounter. I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. It's very rare that everything comes together and we're able to document these types of encounters. We know it happens regularly with the common dolphins. But there's rarely someone there with their video camera focused and waiting for it to happen. Incredible morning on The Monterey Bay for me.

Did you know that dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of
captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool
and throw them fish?
🐬🐊
wow that's a powerful statement and when you actually think about it....touché
Korzaah LP SEA WORLD IS BAD!!!!!!!!!!😣
Korzaah Dolphins don't belong in Captivity!!
Love it.
Take note SeaWorld, that's what their dorsal fins are supposed to look like.
IM DYING RIGHT NOW
lol
How do the ines there look like! At SW?
All captive adult male orcas have collapsed fins (like in the movie "Free Willy") Probably because they don't have enough space to swim and because of a bad diet of dead fish.
A wild orca with a collapsed fin is usually injured or unhealthy.

When the birds show up, there is a kill.
True..
how?
@@The05mommy08 it's the blood
@@The05mommy08 Birds ? it's their eyes; birds have special eyes,an eagle sees a mouse at 2 miles;
( our eyes are the worst, they have *ALL* kinds of problems; an eye surgeon once said if gawd had asked him,our eyes would be immensely better,immagine that).
@@The05mommy08 they smell and see the blood and animals hunting in ocean and go there to collect some meat
The owner of this footage predicted and commentated this perfectly haha it was like watching News broadcasters covering a high speed chase or game callers counting down the last seconds of a game. Thanks for sharing
Imagine if they suddenly turned on the boat...
Lucky guy. That is a once in a lifetime encounter. Orcas are amazing predators
Orcas are vicious cunts!
GrassPossum every wild animal is vicious. They don’t kill their prey with cuddles mate. (Well, apart from constrictors)
joejitsu034 that was funny.
GrassPossum so was that.
@@GrassPossum Not to humans. No recorded fatalities (in the wild).
4 years later and no one has appreciated how fast this guy can count
NO CAP
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
9 months later I appreciate this humor.
This is so much more exciting than seeing them shut in tiny tanks performing to be fed.
I lived in Monterey Bay for nearly 30 years, went out on boats and kayaks tons of times and never once saw anything like this. VERY cool!
You deserve a refund.
That must have been breathtaking! Killer whales are so majestic and to see them in their natural habitat must feel incredible.
despite their names "killer whales" are actually dolphins too
As mentioned in Moby Dick, old whalers saw orcas attack whales so called them "killers of whales" which has been shortened to killer whales.
Carl Ballantyne man grew complacent, as usual
@@carlballantyne6697 Why not Whale killer?
Carl Ballantyne
Actually they were called “Whale Killers” but when they translated over to English they somehow ended up with “Killer Wale”
you r right!💯
00:54 almost looked like one of those over the top CGI moments in a typical modern Hollywood blockbuster. That was pretty epic.
Dolphins eating dolphins..
Tony Salazar Donjuan remember these are just terms we created. Its just life eating life
@@davidhernandez8327 they are really close to each other genetically regardless of human terms

@@hannahrouphael884 they would do that
@@enelmartodoesfelicidad exactly
That's a spectacular video. Seeing it live must have been a highlight in your life. What a great share.
Orcas rule the ocean. No one can go beyond them! You're so lucky to have a encounter like that. Once in a lifetime opportunity
During the stampede it seems like one goal is to be airborne as much of the time as possible, which makes perfect sense...
They cant be sonar'd by the orcas above the surface
@@markj6442 Did Orca used sonar? I thought it was sperm whales and a few dolphin species that used it as weapon?
@@vivanyatodd5036 not sure what your asking but sonar/echolocation, makes noise. Sperm whales, orcas, dolphins, anything with sonar/echolocation can probably use it as a sound based weapon they just dont on us.
@@markj6442 No, I mean sperm whale and some dolphins used their sonar to stun their prey. I thought it was what you mean by the dolphin avoid the sonar.
I forgot it could also uswd to locate the prey 😂
@@vivanyatodd5036 yes and orcas, those 3 are confirmed to. Id guess though if a creature had sonar and could resonate a loud enough sound then it would use sonar as a weapon.
This is the way Orcas and Dolphins are meant to be seen
Facts
Exactly..
But I can see them closer up at Sea World
@@bigj7844 but seaworld is nothing compared to seeing them in the wild
GachaBoy 156 I definitely can believe you. A few years ago my family went to SW and had a chance to meet the trainers and interact with the orcas in a private setting and it was an amazing experience my kids will never forget.
the oceans most intelligent predator. Imagine if the great white shark had the orcas brain. SCARY THOUGHT.
Orcas eat great Whites, imagine if they ate humans
+Tom Wolak
Normal size orcas are 3 times the size of the biggest white sharks.
Jack Barfly - apparently they can teach each other things which most animals apart from us can’t do. what if they taught each other that humans taste good 😳 its over
@@lilegg301 not really, I think they know humans are not supposed to be messed, they are smart like that
Tom Wolak White sharks are AFRAID of orcas. White Sharks are solitary hunters whereas Orcas hunt in packs called pods.
When you see thousands of dolphin and just some killer whale in there
Chaos about to go down
Yeah. That's why the other dolphins were swimming so fast away. They were like "no, no, no! Go! Our lives depend on this!"
@@kittypurr11 😂😂
Your description remind of the scene in Jurrasic Park during the Galimimus stampede 😂
@@vivanyatodd5036 Hahaha, 😋
There is another world out there completely different from ours
Fuck up
No it’s the same world.
It’s the same world, just different environment
Esala Lomani figure of speech
No , right now. It's completely the same. People hunting people .The differences being We're just on dry land and people aren't doing it to eat. It's being done over Political beliefs.
I just love the narrator. It's clear he's so excited about these animals--it really adds to the video and makes me excited. Orcas! Such amazing orcas! They're everywhere, they're just--OH MY GOD MORE. :D
i thought he was pretty reserved, i would have shat my pants and fell in the water
@montanadoctor I thought they were jerks.
Take a drink every time he says common dolphin.
Fantastic video thanks so much. To see the Orca's ambush and breach is incredible like this, you were at the right place and time.
WOW! That is some serious shit. Pure, unbridled display of nature.
This guy literally filmed something amazing. He wasn’t thinking about talking he was watching what was happening, he can’t control the audio he was out at sea. The lack of common sense in this comment section is insane. Y’all are acting like you knowing two facts about dolphins makes you the smartest guy in the room. Learn how too talk to people and you might actually get somewhere in this world.
it saddens me that we are watching an incredible encounter that was filmed, and people are ripping this guy to shreds. We are so ruthless as a society...common dolphin is a specific species of dolphin that is different from the BOTTLENOSE dolphin that most people are familiar with, so he can say it all he wants. Killer whales and orcas are used interchangeably..regardless on whether they are the largest members of the dolphin family or not. So lighten up and enjoy nature at its best
Chad Hussein
any relationship to a MUSLIM by the name of Barrack?
thought so
@@carvinlambert6899 So what if he is, what's it to you & what's your point?
It doesn't matter if there common or bottlenose,it is nature and that's it.
Deborah you are a mean and ugly person! Fuck you and the effing broom you rode in on. Geez
@@ambriadanielsband4132 Says the person who has no picture of themselves posted...have a blessed day! 😏
Poor common dolphin!
😭
Food Chain. Orcas wear it like FlavorFlav!
Lol the dolphin does the same thing to fish...granted fish are not as intelligent as dolphins.
Phenomenal! Thank you for filming and sharing!
Good video! Must be an amazing experience, witnessing such rare phenomenoms.
That is such an incredible video. Glad you were there at the right time to video it
Fantastic footage of nature in the raw. Thank you for sharing. It was amazing!
Holy crap! Something you will never forget! Is this a regular course the dolphins take or how did the orcas know this is where they (dolphins) were going to be? Might sound like a silly question but these orcas are such advanced hunters and work together so well it just amazes me. Trying to understand their thought processes and how incredible their minds are. Thanks for sharing.
Their mind works like this. Stomach grrrrrow. Mind say g I'm hungry let's eat what comes along next thats acceptable in their culture. Hell yeah let's get it. Dolphins Yummy. 😋
I assume through perhaps experience they knew the route the dolphins were going to take.
those dolphins are actually more intelligent than the orcas, bottle nosed dolphins are the most intelligent being in the ocean [as far as we know] but orcas are bigger. Size is might, always has been always will be unless you're smart enough to use a spear [us].
@@trvth1s These aren't bottle nosed dolphins though, they're common dolphins. Also I wouldn't even say that bottle nosed dolphins are smarter than orca considering that would probably be a disservice to just how smart both species are. Orca are technically dolphins themselves.
@@midnightjudicator6551 orcas are also technically whales, as are dolphins.
Bottle nosed dolphins and orcas have both been thoroughly studied as both live in captivity with humans. Bottlenose dolphins are arguably the most intelligent aquatic animals today. With that said, orcas and sharks both hunt bottle nosed dolphins.
Which brings me to my point; size is might among carnivores. Some large great white sharks make a living off hunting dolphins and seals.
Unless an animal is smart enough to use a spear, it is what it is
Wow,that was awesome and your commentary added to the excitement of it.Well done 👍
Common-tary
hello from ireland, we had a rare visit south west off co. kerry in the last few days. got me searching on you tube. truly great video and voice over. thank you.
wow! absolutely amazing footage!
it's a rough old world out there in the open ocean! but i'd rather see predation in this context than countless pointless deaths at the hands of humans!
Kill to survive, not kill coz f greed
@@CFH1962 Sadly animals like Orca do kill things for shit and giggles.
@@juliaarmstrong7637 human traits
@@CFH1962 How is that a human trait? Other animals exhibit such traits too like Cat who will sadistically play with a mouse before killing it.

spectacular, raw footage! good on u mate

What a “spectator encounter dude, surfs up” 🤟🤙
many thanks for sharing this
What a spectacular video and depiction of nature!!
this is so amazing
Its almost like they brought it over for you to see..
Good knowledge of knowing what was to happen..👍🇺🇸
So cool! Thanks for sharing!
A truly unique opportunity to witness a pod of Orcas hunting together. These are probably transient Orcas as Resident pods feed primary on salmon and other fish species. Transient pods do hunt marine mammals as part of their diet. 💪🏼🙏🏻✨
I suspect a few dolphins could have been middle class
Mostly Coach & Or Business Class perhaps, very few 1st Class all grouped so tightly? Definitely not Private flights at all. And then in comes the Pirates of the Monterey Bay Flying Fighter Jet Squadron!! BoomBoomBoom!!! BoomBoomBoom!!!
Get in Ma'Belly!!!
Yummy in Ma'Tummy!!!
Who's got some Olive Oil & Lemon? I left mine back on the run way.
It's alright everyone, it's only a common dolphin.
Seriously cool video, thank you.
Holy shit that's an experience of a life time. Well done my friend
Really enjoyed the video. 💙
They're teaching their young how to Hunt
👍
EXACTLY that's training for them
So much for the axiom that in Nature predators only kill to consume... if there were 8 Orcas in this pod there should have been nothing left of the dolphin. Seems they killed just for the exercise of killing - not much different than human hunters?
@@bruggadung They eat it
Brother, you have the favor of God upon you! That was breathtaking! ❤
YT has put me on an Orca run and I like it. This is incredible footage.
BTW, this is incredible footage. Well done!
Great video....may I ask how the hell did u know u were going to filming that? You tell the viewer what they are about to see before it happened. Just wondering
It looks like he witnessed one of these attacks previously so he knew what to expect
@@kevinmalone3210 nahh, its scripted. Dolohins and orcas are paid actors
That's the business of whale watching professional tour operators.
That is amazing

You need to be 100 meters away from cetaceans, and engine off. You drove right through the pod of orcas.

Why don't they call it the circle of death?
@@mirror1675 glass half full perhaps.
Its Exciting its Existence.
The oceanic equivalent of the "Buffalo Hunt" scene from "Dances. With Wolves"!
great footage
this is the time that u wished the dolphins could coordinate some sort of a counter attack, its like the buffalos and lion situation, the buffalos could easily kill or chase away the lions if they wanted to
I doubt it. Orcas are apex predators for a reason.
Some of the smartest animals on Earth
This is amazing!
What a RUSH to get to experience that...truly epic.
DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY!
So Orcas won’t attack and eat humans in the sea but they’ll attack and eat everything else in the sea. Right.
FuLLeFFekT1 Okay, but WHY? They won’t eat our meat because they respect our intellect? But not that of other whales?
Mirror16 maybe they know we’re not natural to their ecosystem? They’re very aware of us but don’t view us as potential prey.
Robert F So what if we threw pig carcasses into the water in their vicinity? Would they refuse to eat that non-aquatic food? This is all guesswork. Has nobody ever experimented to find out the real reason Orcas only kill humans when in captivity?
Mirror16 no idea but I’m guessing not since the only way to control the experiment would be to use actual humans as bait until an Orca ate one. Risk vs. reward thing ya know?...
One thing I’m fairly certain of is Orcas don’t kill humans in captivity to eat them.
@Robert F I suggest your experiment starts with pigs so we can prove or rule out the "not from their ecosystem" hypothesis without risking humans.
man this is amazing
That's amazing I sometimes fly a Cessna 172 as low as I can to the ocean whenever I'm lucky enough to see a whale and once I got to see a group of about 45 dolphins with 3-4 full grown & 2 baby humpback whales all in the same area but this would be just as amazing to see!
Video it and share.
Ron Mckee I need a better camera I have some videos on my phone but it does not look the same like in real life
good stuff mate! But it looked like you got a bit too close there at the end...

Gorgeous!

heehee
There's a button on the bottom left of the video that you can click on. It says mute. Muting the video means there will be no sound. Hope this helps you from hearing "common dolphin" one more time.
I need to go to Monterey bay and watch this!!! This is so on my bucket list!!!!
The 30 dislikes are because they saw a dolphin being hunted. Welcome to the cycle of life.
Not just any regular dolphin, it was a 'common dolphin.'
I thought Orcas and dolphins were friends =(

Orcas are dolphins. They’re called Killer Whales because they kill whales and sharks too, even Great Whites.
@@DarkSkies72 big sharks eat small orcas too.
It actually depends of what population the orcas are in! Their are different kind of orcas, each having completely different diets and hunting techniques. Transients orcas are the one who eats the most marine mammals but resident orcas’ diet consists primarily of fish, same as offshore orcas. The last two are usually getting along other cetaceans like dolphins! 😊
This was an uncommon event featuring the common dolphin
Wow. That is amazing that you were able to catch that on film and so close. No doubt that they killed the dolphin as the carcass was right there. Thanks for sharing.
Love this video and love the dialogue from the guy taping. Thank you For sharing!
