The more you learn about Orcas the more u might realize how lucky we are that Orcas put up with us. Imagine if they didn't? They could seek us out and reek havoc upon us on a level that would make sharks look unimpressive
They actually have been. The past couple of years or so they've been ganging up and ripping the outboards and rudders off of boats, leaving them stranded. They'll show up, spend a few hours taking the boat apart, and dip.
This pod don't share genetic as the rest of the orcas, and each species of orcas has a very specific diet. Turns out that they didn't eat us because of whatever reason PETA made up, but simply because we are NOT part of their diet.... yet. The video doesn't do much justice explaining why they are different species, but you can find more on YT.
I'm60 years old and I think it's only been the last30 years that we've accepted that other species have developed cultural differences. I remember being taught that humans are the only species that have "culture".
Hi, I'm 63 years old. I remember being taught the same thing. It's not true. Other species have 'culture', and there is even interspecies cultural tradition. You might be interested to read my post above about humans and orcas hunting together here in Australia before commercial fishing started last century. Not that I'm into killing whales, but all things in balance.
Orcas are my favorite apex predators. They're might, fierce, dangerous. crazy, and willing to coexist with humans and might usually help us out if they think we're in trouble.
They have been around for millions years, while ''modern'' humans emerged only about 100, 000 years ago. They have been observing out progress (and our folly!) and probably know more about our essential nature than we do! I wish I could believe they ''respect our sentience'' and so leave us alone. But, more likely, they have passed down tales of our savage wars on each other and fully understand that we are hurting the Earth. They know that their fate is bound up with our folly. This delightful vid. was about their evolution. They are probably hoping that their crazy land cousins will ''evolve''. It must be like sharing a small yard with some crazed killer ape that likes to make explosives!
Right now, they are the equivalent of human ‘races’ when we were separated via geography. They aren’t genetically separate species. Each ‘race’ has very specific culture AND each pod within each ‘race’ also has a subculture. They are insanely intelligent, definitely sentient. Not just animals.
i mean almost all mammals are 'sentient', i think you mean sapient right? i agree tho, they seem like the have much more personhood than people give them credit for
I read something about this recently, so it was very interesting for me to hear more about it. I am a volunteer at an aquarium, and we don't have whales and dolphins in our facility. We do, however, partner with company that does whale watching, and we have the opportunity to be an education person on the boats. We don't have a resident pod of orcas in our area (they are further north of us), but this past winter, we had the unique opportunity to have a transient pod hang out with us for several months. Usually, we see them once or twice a year, but these stayed longer than normal. We have a lot of common dolphins that travel in large pods, and the orcas decided that it was a good place to get food. They did kill a baby gray whale and started to attack the mother as they were migrating north to Alaska. Mother nature can be both cruel and fascinating at the same time. I'm not surprised that they are a separate species.
Yesterday morning at around 4:30 am, there was a lone male orca in the bay chasing two sealions... The sealions decided to take advantage of all the derelict sailboats we have ( homeless people - around 130 of them) The two sealions decided to board a small sailboat at the same time from either side...a sealion is around 1600 lbs, and two of them almost sank a young ladies boat... J pod is our local pod, and they frequently come into the bay and harbor ( on the other side of a huge rock wall built to stop rogue waves ) to fish and hunt. Every year the seals chase a school of fish into the harbor while the young are taught how to use the shorline to trap the fish and eat their fill. The adults keep the bay blocked off so the fish cant escape, then one adult takes the kids in one at a time...while this is happening the adult seals facing the shoreline do not see the whales coming in from behind them. Its life on the ocean...kill or be killed... These are smart animals...they learn quickly... And when they decide we humans are a threat to their survival or when one of our boats accidentally kills one of their young, they will begin to hunt not just boats but us too
The orcas “attacking” boats are ONLY in Spain. It’s a trend of a species pod there. Scientists aren’t even sure if attack is the correct term since they’re not hurting the humans. Orcas or more intelligent than humans and experience more emotions than us that we don’t have words for & will never experience. This is because they have a FAR more complex brain than humans. The more wrinkles in a brain, the more intelligent- size of the brain isn’t what determines intelligence, gyrification (brain wrinkles) are what’s used. Orcas have a section of their brain that we don’t even have. They experience more self awareness than us. They KNOW we’re smart. In the wild, orcas have never attacked humans (boats don’t count bc the ppl are fine) and are even very friendly towards us- I live in the PNW where we have wild orcas that are protected by laws and even recently were given legal recognition as a non-human people. It’s only the orcas in captivity that have attacked and killed humans. They were literally ripped from their families (they stay with their mom for life) & forced to do tricks that are far below and basically demeaning towards their true far more complex talent that can be viewed in the wild
It was unclear why captive female orcas attacked a male orca until the research on wild orca calls revealed that resident and migratory pods used different ones: a migratory male was attacked after failing to give the right song & dance. Maybe they CAN (as Alaskan Black-back and Herring gulls do) interbreed, but there's a language, rather than a species barrier (the two gulls don't interbreed beyond the aurora in Europe).
So there was the story of Orcas attacking human boats. I'm now thinking of something along the lines of boats are noisy neighbors and Orcas are breaking the stereo.
Absolutely fascinating! The discovery of a new species of orca is a groundbreaking moment in marine biology. This not only expands our understanding of orca diversity but also emphasizes the importance of oceanic exploration and conservation efforts.
It's really not that ground breaking. Just a new classification system. Also, we probably should be careful adopting this culture-based model for human species classification...

Very interesting. Orcas are definitely my favorite sea mammals because they so incredibly intelligent!! As humans we have to do better in understanding the other species in our precious world. Understanding the other species of our plant can help us take care of them and our planet needs. Thank you for the video.
My favorite orca video is the one where a couple of them are swimming along with a female (human) swimmer who often trains in the ocean. When the drone camera really zooms out there was large shark in the area. Seems like the chose to protect the swimmer ❤
They actally aren't hostile to each other, they ignore each other and they can breed, they just don't do so in the wild. Transients are doing better because the seals are now protected, so their food increased, while the residents, who feed on salmon, are starving, due to the dams
My Friends and I were on holiday in Norway and saw them last weak near Bergen from our terrace. It was amazing ! Our neighbor actually woke us up because it was the first time in 30 years they were at this spot. I wonder why they were there.
Can we get a video of a before and after of what land and ecosystem was there before a city popped up. Like Las Vegas or a city in Texas or China thoughts
You also missed the part where it said, the Scientific community is slow to change. For things to change, a larger concensus takes place where more people in the community take the data and examine it, coming to the same conclusions. Bingo, bango, bongo...change.
@@Belovelyava maybe something like that... Because just vid show... There's something super complex going on ... That the scientist are overlooking... So maybe they have a similar social perking order...??? It's just a mystery
I’m not an expert, just an orca enthusiast. Keiko was taken from a pod, so he was probably an Icelandic resident orca. Even if he was released amongst other resident orcas, orca pods are matriarchal and they stick together for life. Keiko, a male, would have found it very difficult to join a family that wasn’t his, so that’s my theory on why he died. Someone correct me if there’s anything I’m wrong about here
that's similar to what I said. but it is not racist for groups to form strong bonds and not be super friendly to outsiders. specially with such few numbers relative to the vastness of the seas. they are more akin to different races/cultures. we didnt intermingle much until fairly recently in our history. and when we did, it was usually to fight.
@@Emeritus63s Really? That's very ignorant and racist. How about different Native American tribes who fought each other or African tribes that still do? How many countries with different species of humans are hostile towards each other? Think before you speak (or write) insulting comments like this.. You are just promoting more ignorance and racism among other non thinkers like yourself.
Back when Free Willy came out, I thought Orcas were awesome; I got older and found out that I can admire them, but I ain't getting in the water with them (especially not in captivity).
you’ll be fine so long as you don’t have one in a concrete cell forced to perform like a circus monkey on the hour. or make yourself look extra marine mammalian appearing. triathletes training to swim in the ocean have been peacefully surrounded with no issue. i think just about any scenario you’re risking jumping in, if it’s with these whales youre likelier safer than jumping out into seemingly bare open ocean. unless of course your boat has capsized & you’re bobbing along alone in the sea. i may start to worry then
To be honest, people used to call Orca’s hunting method violent, due to how they treat seals and whatnot, but…. They’re really just like us. If a rat or a snake or something came at me, I’d do the exact same thing they do with their tails with my legs, they’re smart af fr 😭😭
I’ve always noticed the slight difference of orcas’ fin (one kinda higher and straight up-seem more powerful and dominant; one kinda smaller and more curvy-seem more agile) and wonder if it’s the male vs female or something more (age, species…) P/s: bravo to the video creator for still playing dota - the best video game ever created
honestly i dont find it too ood that orcas dont mate with other orca types, each type has own language and even individual culture/behaivor, like would you date a person that speaks a language you dont understand a word of and acts in a way that you dont understand? the way of living for orcas can be as different as the one group hunts blue wales for food and the other hunts with them as partners together. and another group which is actually only this one family of orcas is beaching to hunt and teaching it to their childs. specifically the beaching is a thing that probably most orcas would consider insane when not grown up with it because its also very dangerous and you need to know what you do also for the language, orcas way of communicating is one of the most complex ones we know, they have different dialects and build ledgit sentences to talk to each other, they even have names for each other ! names are a thing that actually only humans and orcas do/capable of due to the complex languages they developed
Scientists think they’re doing that because they’re bored. I still like to think they’re realizing humans are a threat and only humans have boats, but who actually knows haha
It's always fun to learn something new. I think we are watching evolution in action. Orca's that live in different environments are evolving to their environments to become better hunters. In doing so, they are becoming different species.
@@sweetjohnny8211 oh really, I definitely didn't hear that. I could have been distracted at that time stamp. I'll def go back and re-watch. Not that I don't believe u, just find it odd why he would say 10 different ecyotype. Thanks for the info:)
@@sweetjohnny8211he did say 10 different ecyotype. At 1:39 he says they have only known of 2 and now there's a 3rd one but didn't know the name. I wouldn't put to much stock in this guy, or he made an error by saying ten. The 3rd type are known as off-shores. It's been known for decades now. It's the 4th the scientist found around a decade ago, maybe less. I don't know what they call them yet:)
@@Funksinthehouse Ecotypes vs 3 species and they suspect a 4th. Until the broader Scientific community takes the data and examines it, coming to the same conclusions, then nothing gets changed. Its very slow. Its not that its not known. Its that redoing everything officially takes time. Hell, only recently Skunks got reclassified. I thought they were still Mustelids. 😂
The narrator acknowledges that we’ve actually known this for about 40 years but science is slow to change. It’s like you didn’t even listen, just criticized as you went lol
I wonder what type of Orcas are the imprisoned Orcas? I know from watching Blackfish that they were from different pods and couldn’t speak or understand each other when brought together. I wonder if they react differently from eacother based on their type too! Soo many questions about totally beautiful and awesome dolphins!❤
Horses, donkeys,and zebras can interbreed Dogs, coyotes, and wolves can interbreed Sharks and rays can interbreed As can bottle nose dolphins and orcas The ability to interbreed merely shows a common ancestor
@@BeannieRey sure, they can interbreed, however their offspring are sterile. I recommend that you learn more about genetics; DNA proves that creatures were created.
1:31 normally transients are actually called biggs (seeing as residents are also transient to some extent so the name was considered misleading and changed)
Aside from being in captivity, Forcing breeding between orcas that normally don't want to breed with each other is probably a factor in them being aggressive in the "sea worlds" and the offsprings mental character
So they have different habits and are tribal? Sound like any animal you all know? In my opinion scientists love to toot a discovery horn. That’s what’s so obvious.
Orca tribes have been known speak different languages and hunting techniques from each other for ages. it’s not that strange that an orca would prefer to mate with another orca of the same or similar communication system. It’s also why captive bred orcas can never be released in the wild. They never really learned to communicate or learn the culture and are also severely stunted mentally, making them more violent then wild orcas.
That's not a new mindset, remember people call black people and white people different races when they're all part of THE human race(singular) because of different skin colours when the same logic never applied to animals like tabby cats and caleco cats, or black labradors and golden retrievers, where they're simply "different breeds" of the same race. I never cared for it myself, "people is people" or whatever.
@@The_Prizessin_der_Verurteilung well, they factor in culture of the orca into which species they are. So even if you are born of 2 Irish parents but raised as a settler in Israel, the fact that you are literally raised Israeli means you are from a different culture, making you a different species haha I just think these scientists are getting bored honestly haha
A real example of survival of the fittest and more intelligent we are witnessing and how a species evolves over time we get to witness right now. Very cool. The research seems to suggest that the resident type of Orca will die out as the transient Orca line will be able to consume more food and travel more to enlarge its territories. It’s the circle of life.
1:46 Wait... Same species, but they don't mate because they're different cultures. So, they're racist to each other? Black and white equality symbols who are racist to each other! 😭
This makes me wonder about Tilikum who was a male orca in captivity. He was used to sire quite a few children. I pulled some info up: Tilly ended up siring at least 21 calves Kyuquot: Born in 1991, Kyuquot's aggressive instincts were passed down through generations, as he almost killed his trainer by jumping on top of him Taku: Born in 1993, Taku died in 2007 Nyar: Born in 1993, Nyar died in 1996 Unna: Born in 1996, Unna died in 2015 Sumar: Born in 1998, Sumar died in 2010 Tuar: Born in 1999 Tekoa: Born in 2000 Nakai: Born in 2001, Nakai died in 2022 Kohana: Born in 2002, Kohana died in 2022 Ikaika: Born in 2002 Skyla: Born in 2004, Skyla died in 2021 Malia: Born in 2007 Sakari: Born in 2010 Makaio: Born in 2010, Makaio was sired by Tilikum That was a lot more than I initially thought. I wonder if this included any potential crossing of the different orca subsets since people did not really understand their more complex dynamics. I am unsure if any of the captive bred orcas were released to the wild. I can not help but wonder what sort of effect human breeding caused on their genetics and if they were cross bred.
I remember seeing a news article when I was a kid about there being a certain family of orcas that were more aggressive, and one had a slightly different white splotch behind it’s top fin. Now as an adult I’m sure that they were referring to a different species, and it just wasn’t confirmed that they weren’t the same species yet.
Nobody, absolutely nobody: The orcas: "Splish splash b1+c4!" The seal minding his own business within the first 10 seconds of the video: "RUUUUUUDE!!!" Me: Instantly clicks like button.
If you’re interested in orcas you should look in to the killer whales of Eden NSW Australia. They actually used to help the whalers in that aria in the not so distant past . There are people still alive that remember and witnessed it happen. The locals knew the orcas by name . The most famous of which was called old Tom. This is an incredible peace of Australian history and more people should know about it . There is a museum in Eden dedicated to these Orcas . Definitely worth the trip .
So it wasn’t mentioned but there was a discovered variant with a more square head and tinier white patch above their eye, also known as “Type D”. Yeah was expecting that to make it in this video. Quality of videos these days, wonder why I subbed in the first place.
Are they different enough to be classed as a different species, or is it more like 'races' of humans? It isn't 'disrespectful' of the dolphins, I've heard that they do it because they can apparently tell the difference and as Transient Orca's avoid Resident ones (and vice versa) they are safer near the Residents.
All I can think of is the pod off the coast of Vancouver, CAN. I learned this in biology as my teacher used to study orcas. The pod is so inbreed that their call can only be understood by their own pod, and their heads are larger, almost bulbus.
puts into perspective how much we humans don’t have the want to learn about the ocean. how has a marine biologist not figured this out or people who are around orcas
So, I’m guessing that ‘Regular Orcas’ are not as specialized as ‘Transient’ and ‘Resident Orcas.’ Like, they might hunt a combination of fish and smaller mammals?
The more you learn about Orcas the more u might realize how lucky we are that Orcas put up with us. Imagine if they didn't? They could seek us out and reek havoc upon us on a level that would make sharks look unimpressive
If they did that they'll just go extinct lol
Real life isn't like the movie jaws. We'd run them to extinction if we had to. That's just human nature.
That goes both ways. If they had good meat or blubber they’d be on the extinction list.
They’ve been sinking yachts lately
They actually have been. The past couple of years or so they've been ganging up and ripping the outboards and rudders off of boats, leaving them stranded. They'll show up, spend a few hours taking the boat apart, and dip.

For things to change, a larger concensus takes place where more people in the community take the data and examine it, coming to the same conclusions.
Bingo, bango, bongo...change.
What if resident orkas are the children of once captured, released back into the wild orkas and that's why transient orkas don't mingle.
Good video.
See you later 🙋♀️
lol its kinda crazy
I remember watching you sense the video that is titled
Snakes and even aliggators are scared of this beast
It's no wonder free Willie died.... Maybe he was a different species...😢
My thoughts exactly.
Maybe it’s like a human who is finally out of prison after many years, they just can’t function. Which causes their demise.
@@Belovelyava maybe something like that... Because just vid show... There's something super complex going on ... That the scientist are overlooking... So maybe they have a similar social perking order...??? It's just a mystery
I’m not an expert, just an orca enthusiast. Keiko was taken from a pod, so he was probably an Icelandic resident orca. Even if he was released amongst other resident orcas, orca pods are matriarchal and they stick together for life. Keiko, a male, would have found it very difficult to join a family that wasn’t his, so that’s my theory on why he died. Someone correct me if there’s anything I’m wrong about here
Did SeaWorld ever say what types of Orcas each was? How about the Orcas in Spain tearing rudders of yachts coming thru?
Ohhh , like Crows and Ravens ! .
Huh?
This video was amazing ❤ thank you
Since I am a subscriber. This was very informative. You have earned my 👍.
Well done mate
Since you are a subscriber...and?? Lol
@7ItalianStallion it's only informative if you're a subscriber, duh
To me, the cover Orcas photo looks like a fleet of planes getting ready to fight against forces against a Green Planet. Beautiful aren't they?
We're complicating things here... maybe the orcas have developed a form of racism. sounds crazy . I know but the similarities are definitely there 😂😂😂
that's similar to what I said. but it is not racist for groups to form strong bonds and not be super friendly to outsiders. specially with such few numbers relative to the vastness of the seas. they are more akin to different races/cultures. we didnt intermingle much until fairly recently in our history. and when we did, it was usually to fight.
Only w people can think like this
🙄@@Emeritus63s
@@Emeritus63s not sure if that was for me but I'm Latino. English is my second language.
@@Emeritus63s Really? That's very ignorant and racist. How about different Native American tribes who fought each other or African tribes that still do? How many countries with different species of humans are hostile towards each other? Think before you speak (or write) insulting comments like this.. You are just promoting more ignorance and racism among other non thinkers like yourself.
Back when Free Willy came out, I thought Orcas were awesome; I got older and found out that I can admire them, but I ain't getting in the water with them (especially not in captivity).
😂😂😂 same
you’ll be fine so long as you don’t have one in a concrete cell forced to perform like a circus monkey on the hour. or make yourself look extra marine mammalian appearing. triathletes training to swim in the ocean have been peacefully surrounded with no issue. i think just about any scenario you’re risking jumping in, if it’s with these whales youre likelier safer than jumping out into seemingly bare open ocean. unless of course your boat has capsized & you’re bobbing along alone in the sea. i may start to worry then
Never knew orcas are persistent hunters too (kinda), that's really cool !
To be honest, people used to call Orca’s hunting method violent, due to how they treat seals and whatnot, but…. They’re really just like us. If a rat or a snake or something came at me, I’d do the exact same thing they do with their tails with my legs, they’re smart af fr 😭😭
ORCAS GOT THE *RACISM UPDATE* 😂😂😂
I’ve always noticed the slight difference of orcas’ fin (one kinda higher and straight up-seem more powerful and dominant; one kinda smaller and more curvy-seem more agile) and wonder if it’s the male vs female or something more (age, species…)
P/s: bravo to the video creator for still playing dota - the best video game ever created
Why is he yelling?
He’s not, that’s just how he talks
He's probably Canadian
@@L1MEYB0Yno he’s definitely yelling
To assert dominance
@@DrengrByHeart😂
Yes, Orcas are my spirit animal, my ancestors use to hunt fish and other sea life with them
YES. Praying people learn more about ancestral connections to animals. ✊🏽
honestly i dont find it too ood that orcas dont mate with other orca types, each type has own language and even individual culture/behaivor,
like would you date a person that speaks a language you dont understand a word of and acts in a way that you dont understand?
the way of living for orcas can be as different as the one group hunts blue wales for food and the other hunts with them as partners together.
and another group which is actually only this one family of orcas is beaching to hunt and teaching it to their childs.
specifically the beaching is a thing that probably most orcas would consider insane when not grown up with it because its also very dangerous and you need to know what you do
also for the language, orcas way of communicating is one of the most complex ones we know, they have different dialects and build ledgit sentences to talk to each other, they even have names for each other ! names are a thing that actually only humans and orcas do/capable of due to the complex languages they developed
Orca are my favorite mammal. Wonderful and intelligent creatures.
Damn i wish human got new patch too😂😂😂
They’re like the security guards of the ocean, we’re just swimming around and making sure everything’s OK
I heard recently they attacking boats.
Scientists think they’re doing that because they’re bored.
I still like to think they’re realizing humans are a threat and only humans have boats, but who actually knows haha
It's always fun to learn something new. I think we are watching evolution in action. Orca's that live in different environments are evolving to their environments to become better hunters. In doing so, they are becoming different species.
There was 3 ecyotypes! Offshores , transients and residents.
10-15 yrs ago they found a 4th ecyotype.
This is far from new!
About 1:15 he actually says there's 10 ecotypes but that he's only going to be talking about two of them.
@@sweetjohnny8211 oh really, I definitely didn't hear that. I could have been distracted at that time stamp. I'll def go back and re-watch. Not that I don't believe u, just find it odd why he would say 10 different ecyotype.
Thanks for the info:)
@@sweetjohnny8211he did say 10 different ecyotype. At 1:39 he says they have only known of 2 and now there's a 3rd one but didn't know the name.
I wouldn't put to much stock in this guy, or he made an error by saying ten.
The 3rd type are known as off-shores.
It's been known for decades now. It's the 4th the scientist found around a decade ago, maybe less. I don't know what they call them yet:)
@@Funksinthehouse
Ecotypes vs 3 species and they suspect a 4th.
Until the broader Scientific community takes the data and examines it, coming to the same conclusions, then nothing gets changed. Its very slow.
Its not that its not known. Its that redoing everything officially takes time.
Hell, only recently Skunks got reclassified.
I thought they were still Mustelids. 😂
The narrator acknowledges that we’ve actually known this for about 40 years but science is slow to change. It’s like you didn’t even listen, just criticized as you went lol
I wonder what type of Orcas are the imprisoned Orcas? I know from watching Blackfish that they were from different pods and couldn’t speak or understand each other when brought together. I wonder if they react differently from eacother based on their type too! Soo many questions about totally beautiful and awesome dolphins!❤
There is no inability of these orcas to interbreed, therefore they are all one species.
Horses, donkeys,and zebras can interbreed
Dogs, coyotes, and wolves can interbreed
Sharks and rays can interbreed
As can bottle nose dolphins and orcas
The ability to interbreed merely shows a common ancestor
@@BeannieRey sure, they can interbreed, however their offspring are sterile. I recommend that you learn more about genetics; DNA proves that creatures were created.
@@BeannieRey It depends on the species concept. Their point is not entirely invalid
an excellent presentation. The style of delivery is very easy to follow and understand. 🐋💚
Diet including "other whales". Orca aren't whales, they're dolphins, the largest of them. You should correct this erroneous statement.
But dolphins are toothed whales.
1:31 normally transients are actually called biggs (seeing as residents are also transient to some extent so the name was considered misleading and changed)
9:50 if this is the case, being too different to be the same species, than how do you explain humans?
far too diverse to be the same species.
Aside from being in captivity, Forcing breeding between orcas that normally don't want to breed with each other is probably a factor in them being aggressive in the "sea worlds" and the offsprings mental character
So they have different habits and are tribal? Sound like any animal you all know? In my opinion scientists love to toot a discovery horn. That’s what’s so obvious.
Orca tribes have been known speak different languages and hunting techniques from each other for ages.
it’s not that strange that an orca would prefer to mate with another orca of the same or similar communication system.
It’s also why captive bred orcas can never be released in the wild. They never really learned to communicate or learn the culture and are also severely stunted mentally, making them more violent then wild orcas.
Nice I love salmon too. Wish I could eat salmon everyday lol
This ain't about fish lady... Wake up
Oh great.
Now people from different countries are different species.
That's not a new mindset, remember people call black people and white people different races when they're all part of THE human race(singular) because of different skin colours when the same logic never applied to animals like tabby cats and caleco cats, or black labradors and golden retrievers, where they're simply "different breeds" of the same race.
I never cared for it myself, "people is people" or whatever.
Different 'races' can still have offspring wih each other so we are not different species
@@The_Prizessin_der_Verurteilung well, they factor in culture of the orca into which species they are.
So even if you are born of 2 Irish parents but raised as a settler in Israel, the fact that you are literally raised Israeli means you are from a different culture, making you a different species haha I just think these scientists are getting bored honestly haha
A real example of survival of the fittest and more intelligent we are witnessing and how a species evolves over time we get to witness right now. Very cool. The research seems to suggest that the resident type of Orca will die out as the transient Orca line will be able to consume more food and travel more to enlarge its territories. It’s the circle of life.
This is getting outta hand. Now Orcas are wanting to be identified differently. Orca, Trans Orca, Res Orca 🤣🤣🤣
Haha!! I appreciate your cleverly fun yet sad & true takeaway on the....we'll call it a "situation" 😂😊

Corinthian 15 verse 57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:46 Wait... Same species, but they don't mate because they're different cultures. So, they're racist to each other? Black and white equality symbols who are racist to each other! 😭
They dont mate because they are different species and wouldn't produce offspring. Different races of people still can procreate
This makes me wonder about Tilikum who was a male orca in captivity. He was used to sire quite a few children. I pulled some info up: Tilly ended up siring at least 21 calves
Kyuquot: Born in 1991, Kyuquot's aggressive instincts were passed down through generations, as he almost killed his trainer by jumping on top of him
Taku: Born in 1993, Taku died in 2007
Nyar: Born in 1993, Nyar died in 1996
Unna: Born in 1996, Unna died in 2015
Sumar: Born in 1998, Sumar died in 2010
Tuar: Born in 1999
Tekoa: Born in 2000
Nakai: Born in 2001, Nakai died in 2022
Kohana: Born in 2002, Kohana died in 2022
Ikaika: Born in 2002
Skyla: Born in 2004, Skyla died in 2021
Malia: Born in 2007
Sakari: Born in 2010
Makaio: Born in 2010, Makaio was sired by Tilikum
That was a lot more than I initially thought. I wonder if this included any potential crossing of the different orca subsets since people did not really understand their more complex dynamics. I am unsure if any of the captive bred orcas were released to the wild. I can not help but wonder what sort of effect human breeding caused on their genetics and if they were cross bred.
wolves and dogs ARE the same species
No xD
@@TomaszOdkrywcaYes, they are
That was a hilarious take on orca. I’ve been whale watching in the northwest around San Juan Island, and we had a baby sound right next to the boat.
I remember seeing a news article when I was a kid about there being a certain family of orcas that were more aggressive, and one had a slightly different white splotch behind it’s top fin. Now as an adult I’m sure that they were referring to a different species, and it just wasn’t confirmed that they weren’t the same species yet.
Nobody, absolutely nobody:
The orcas: "Splish splash b1+c4!"
The seal minding his own business within the first 10 seconds of the video: "RUUUUUUDE!!!"
Me: Instantly clicks like button.
How will the update in a couple years affect Orca mains?
Definitely Enjoyed 👏🏽
The sight of a whale breaching the surface is a reminder of the beauty and wonder of marine life.
I am and have ALWAYS BEEN TERRIFIED of Orcas.
If you’re interested in orcas you should look in to the killer whales of Eden NSW Australia. They actually used to help the whalers in that aria in the not so distant past . There are people still alive that remember and witnessed it happen. The locals knew the orcas by name . The most famous of which was called old Tom. This is an incredible peace of Australian history and more people should know about it . There is a museum in Eden dedicated to these Orcas . Definitely worth the trip .
Boy, this changed my perspective on the real free willy yet again
The Best Coffee talk is on this channel ❤
I cant believe I understand the video game Explaination more than I understand your usual videos
So it wasn’t mentioned but there was a discovered variant with a more square head and tinier white patch above their eye, also known as “Type D”. Yeah was expecting that to make it in this video.
Quality of videos these days, wonder why I subbed in the first place.
Good the black and white menace of the ocean has gotten new competition
I love the Scary Interesting shout out! Great Video!!
Orca 2.0 before GTA 6 is crazy
We have known about the likelihood they were three species for a very long time, its just now it's being officially recognized
Ngl, listening to this information with videogame terms mixed in DID make it easier to digest. And now I hate myself for that.
thank u so much for gaming style i understanded none of the other
Are they different enough to be classed as a different species, or is it more like 'races' of humans?
It isn't 'disrespectful' of the dolphins, I've heard that they do it because they can apparently tell the difference and as Transient Orca's avoid Resident ones (and vice versa) they are safer near the Residents.
"transient orcas hunt their praise silently" *orca moans*
It was nice to see a Dota 2 reference. Ironwood branch and defiant shell.
All I can think of is the pod off the coast of Vancouver, CAN. I learned this in biology as my teacher used to study orcas. The pod is so inbreed that their call can only be understood by their own pod, and their heads are larger, almost bulbus.
for some reasons it's making me think their all just different races instead
They didn't teach us any of this on Free Willey!! ;) thanks for the info
Watching the like button pop up made me like
Cool video. ⭐️
puts into perspective how much we humans don’t have the want to learn about the ocean. how has a marine biologist not figured this out or people who are around orcas
i wonder if the orca attacks on boats are all from one pod or if they talk to each other to keep away from boat fishing patterns
So, I’m guessing that ‘Regular Orcas’ are not as specialized as ‘Transient’ and ‘Resident Orcas.’ Like, they might hunt a combination of fish and smaller mammals?
I think we are noticing differences between orcas now is because more rich people are using yachts in the orca’s territory. As long as the orcas win!
Basically farmers vs barbarians
Not sure why it would be hard to believe as it has been common place for billions of years.
This is legitimately exciting news
