Recently learned in a documentary about some neat orca behavior that I never knew. The opening of the mouth is a sign of interest and when they show you their belly it means they are trusting you/coming in peace. Totally gives me a whole new perspective when I watch videos with orcas and humans interacting on boats or swimming!
Well if that’s the case then we’re a disgusting race for locking them in tanks and treating them like absolute shit. Edit: okay I knew we where anyways but still.
Incredible. He appears curious and even playing a little hide and seek with you under the boat. You are lucky to have had this encounter with such a great creature. Thanks for sharing!
Orcas use echolocation to communicate with other whales. I know sperm whales receive these signals on their underside so you will often see them exposing their belly. Though I am not sure if this is the case for orcas, I think this one may have been trying to communicate with the boat.
I have always had so much love and respect for orcas, and found them to be highly intelligent and intriguing. This is such beautiful footage. I love it.🥰🐳🥰🐳
Orcas have the most gyrified brain out of all species. Each pod uses a unique vocalization to communicate. There are ten ecotypes, all of whom specialize in different prey. The original Shamu was a Southern Resident from J pod. Ted Griffin and his team harpooned and killed her mother. She was supposed to be Namu's companion; however, she didn't get along with either Namu or Ted. He sold her to Seaworld San Diego in 1965. She died six years later of an infection. An estimated 170 orcas were taken from the wild. Corky, Lolita, Ulises, Katina, and Kiska are the only ones that remain alive in North America. Lolita, a Southern Resident from L pod, is the daughter of L25 Ocean Sun. Over 90 years old, Ocean Sun is the oldest known orca in the world. With the passing of her eldest daughter L23 Tsunami and Lolita's capture, Ocean Sun is left without immediate family members. She often travels with orcas from another pod. Corky, the oldest orca in captivity, is a Northern Resident from the A5 pod, A23 matriline. Her younger sister Ripple has been leading the pod after the passing of their mother Stripe. Corky also has a younger brother named Fife, niece Midsummer, great-nephews Fern and Ne'nakw, and great-niece Eliot. Lolita was captured in Puget Sound, Washington. Corky is from British Columbia. Ulises, Katina, and Kiska are from Iceland.
I've had the same experience when a Mother and calf came to check out my small boat just a 100m off a beach in New Zealand. They didn't hang around long, but swam under the boat a couple of times - on their side so they got a good look.
Reminds me something I saw when I went to Alaska. There were these kayakers out in the water (ocean, of course) off of an island, and then suddenly a pod of orcas began to swim around them non-aggressive, but just curious as to what they were doing. Quite beautiful creatures, even if they are super disrespectful oreos to literally every other creature in the ocean (no, I'm not bashing on orcas, they're actually one of my favorite sea creatures. It's just both amazing and hilarious how whimsical, curious, and playful they are with humans in the wild, but then will go and clap sting rays, seals, sharks, moose, etc. just for fun and not even to eat).
@@riakun part of this is for their younger pod members to practice and improve their hunting abilities. Orcas are limited due to their anatomy and therefore to improve coordination and such they have to use such methods. We as humans may think it's for no reason, but it's mainly for honing their skills. They may catch a seal, take it out further and may play around with it a bit, but generally it's a way to "celebrate" a successful hunt, and eventually they will eat what they caught.
This is the only way i would ever want to see a killer whale. Out in the wild where it dictates when i can see it and how much interaction it wants to have.
@@elJHz ... still a dolphin. Fun fact, fisherman back in the day thought they were vicious whales hence 'killer whales' The scientific name is Orcinus Orca...
It really doesn't get any better when something as majestic as this Orca, who feels absolutely no threat what so ever, befriends curious onlookers in its OWN habitat. A humble blessing beyond words.
I come back to this video every now again. Idk if it’s the music or what, but I find it peaceful. One day, if I’m ever out sailing, I hope to come across a Orca or 2 that are as friendly and curious as this little guy.
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess I could say a hundred things but ultimately it comes down to choice. If any of them animals had a channel leading to the sea not one of them would stay in them tanks. I no that they wouldn't survive very long but that is only because they have had their natural instincts subdued. why do you think it takes years to train an orca to allow a trainer in the pool when people swim with them in the ocean with no issue every day. Its because that animal needs to be broken in to being submissive just like a horse. The animal really wouldn't let some weird human climb all over him if he was in the wild, so the trainers take their time to condition the animals in to respecting them. No animal in the world would perform the same tricks day in day out for years on end just for "fun", they do it to survive. In pools the size some celebs have in their gardens.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience, I wish I was there but felt like I was. I lol when the orca showed you it's teeth, I took it as an endearing gesture of communication that you were not a threat. That was so awe inspiring Thank you again for sharing😍
I used to like lions, penguins and polar bears as my favorite animal. But I just love orcas. They have to be my number one favorite animal. They look so cool and beautiful
Remember these are mammals, while they are “apex predators” of their relative ecosystem they also know the difference between their regular food and this floating blob on the surface. Whats amazing about this encounter is their curiosity on display, they’re clearly relaxed around the boat and visibly naive about the camera in the water. Amazing vid, thanks for the upload!
So is a Lion, Tiger and Bear. They too are also intelligent, but will eat you. I'm not complaining, but I wonder WHY they have not been documented attempting predation on humans. They'll even take Deer and Moose crossing a channel.

Beautiful creatures that should be loved and respected in there natural habitat. Idk if it's the music or what, but I find it peaceful. One day, if I'm ever out sailing, I hope to come across a Orca or two that are as friendly and curious as this little guy.
That's the idea of those white patches. Generally animals with larger eyes are predators, so this protects them in the wild, scaring off any potential predators or threats to them or their young.
Bet he is also the nicest orca out of their group, and he seems familiar with human.. He haven't met a bad human I guess, hope he never meet them, so that he will remain this kind and nice.
I know. SeaWorld seriously disgusts me. I've never been to one of their shows, and never will. Taking these beautiful creatures out of their natural habitats just to train them and put on display is cruel. They arent objects to play with. They are animals who just want to live their lives in peace.
Your Friend Orcas have never killed a human in the wild to date, they’’he had plenty of chances and never have, if that doesn’t tell you that their smarter and on a different level of thinking compared to other animals then I don’t know what will
I read somewhere that it happened once cause the orca wanted to play. The woman survived though. You know, the human wanted to mess around then it was the orca's turn. Dragging her down in the sea and only let her get some air at the last minute, then repeated it for a few times. Not the best experience...
The only way these magnificent, intelligent and beautiful dolphins should ever be observed or interacted with. On THEIR terms. Worried about this sweetheart tho. Where is their pod? They are not solitary creatures. Seems to really be craving some love and the other things they give each other. Thank you for sharing this! I doubt I will ever get to do this, so it's a blessing.😍🐬😞🙏
Just want to clarify a few key facts regarding this encounter. I am seeing lots of comments questioning the reason why this orca is alone, its behavior and why was it approaching the boat. First, this orca was never baited or fed at anytime. The woman was eating some food from a can as the orca made several passes around and under the boat. Perhaps this orca was curious about her eating, this may be a reason explaining some of this behavior...but it was never fed. There is no definitive explanation as to why he (it's a male) was behaving in this manner. He was extremely curious but never was there a point where we felt any threat or danger from this magnificent creature. We had this animal hanging around us for more than an 2 hours. Regarding him being alone and without his pod...he was not alone when we first spotted him. There were 3 other orcas (1 male and 2 females) which followed us initially. The male stopped following after 5 minutes, the other 2 females after approximately 10 minutes. They swam off a bit while he stayed with us. After approximately 2 hours, he left and headed back towards his pod. Another note: he was not injured. Some people are commenting on his fins/flippers being injured. He had parasitic copepods on both his pectoral fins/flippers and his fluke/tail. Not that uncommon. I truly appreciate all of your comments and respect your opinions. However, if you have a negative comment, please be decent about it. We are all entitled to our opinions, whether positive or negative. Please just do it in a respectful way. It's easy to judge what happened, how or why it happened...we all are guilty of that from time to time. However, unless you were there, watching all the behavior leading up to this encounter, you really don't know...you can just assume. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. I will post more videos on this encounter soon.
Silver Shark Adventures You are all Awesome and I greatly appreciate you posting this video. I enjoy every beautiful moment and love the details behind your thrilling encounter! I'm no where near the ocean and this is the next best thing to being there.. Watching her soothes my soul. I watch this over and over again. Thank you, She is Spectacular!! 💜🐬🌎💜🐬🌎💜🐬🌎😍
MiaEZ I truly appreciate your kind words and thoughtful comments. Very humbled this video is making a positive impact on people like you. It was an unreal experience. Beyond fortunate for it all. Email me at: silversharkadv@gmail.com and I'll give you further insight to this encounter. Thx again and you are very welcome!
That's not necessarily curiousity. Blowing bubbles, open mouth, that's a very clear threat display. Regardless if the woman never touched the orca, regardless if you never baited it, what you're doing is harassing wild animals.
Cheyenne Vervoort you clearly don't understand Orca behaviour. Or what the definition of harassment is. No negative comments on a page that shows the beauty of human animal connection! It is God Given and Soul Soothing!
WITS - Whatever It Takes Sanctuary really? I don't see it. They look pretty subpar to me. Smarter than most other animals right after dolphins and before octopi but less intelligent than humans.
Lmao Orcas are the largest of the dolphins.(www.google.com/search?q=are+orcas+dolphins&rlz=1CAASUJ_enUS712US712&oq=are+orcas+do&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.4562j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8). Next time you should fact check yourself before you tell someone their wrong.
Not everybody lives near the water to be able to, that was the beauty of marine parks back in the day & the only reason I even fell so in love with them to begin with. Sure this way is fine seeing them on a tv or internet screen, but there's no experience like seeing one in person & seeing just how majestic they really truly are. Marine parks brought the ocean world to those can't get to it, because I know after the remaining orcas Seaworld has left are gone since they've now discontinued the breeding program (and understandably so because I'm not against that decision & know it's just the right one to make) I along with most people will probably never see another one in any other way again outside of the television or the internet.
@@bolindalittle9445 why not just spend the money you spent on those awful parks to go to vancouver or washington state, and go on a whale watching tour
so many people not educated enough about orcas .....last attack in wild was on 1970 and a guy didnt even die just needed 100 stitches ( which is a lot but still ) ...orcas are inteligent and we arent on their menu ...only attacks that happen are in captivity bcs orcas are aware that they are not free.
Wow. One of those moments in life that will never be forgotten and will be shared and talked about over the years to come. I must admit, I got a little misty eyed seeing it. But having said that, and understanding that these creatures are intelligent and self aware, we should keep in mind that we are in their domain out there. So, be careful friends.
This video gave me chills not just from the music but the interaction between 2 different species no aggression and both species being amazed by each other
Orcas have never killed a human in the wild. They might get curious of kayaks or swimmers but have never killed anyone. They could easily take you out in an instant too. These animals are highly intelligent and have ancestral knowledge they pass down. They probably know we're Homicidal psychopaths ourselves so they like us.
Just like we have interest and curiosity on knowing what’s deep inside the ocean. They also must feel the same on knowing what’s on the other side here in land .
OG Lurker: What i find amazing about Orcas is the relationship they have with humans. Orcas will kill and eat any living creature. Whales,Dolphins,Polar Bears, Sea Lions ect. but not humans. They made a conscience decision trust and see us as an equal and not mere food.
0:06 The fact that something so massive can make such a quick, sharp turn is astounding. I used to wonder how the hell they could catch seals or dolphins but they're so agile for their size.
@@1ledan do some research before posting your comments.There are many videos on TH-cam of orcas in the wild with twisted dorsal finns. (I'm not a Sea World fan)
It's just awesome to see that something that big and intelligent showing interest in interacting with you. If it really wanted to hurt you, there's absolutely nothing you could do about it.
@@cesarmendoza1311 it'll be OK ( I think)... Maybe 70% chance that they will swim along side with you as they've been know to behave gently with humans and the other 30% (lets not talk about it)...and as for me..I'd still not jump in with them..am afraid of being in the sea...
@@cesarmendoza1311 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whale_attack?wprov=sfla1 Compare the lengths of the lists in this article. There are seven bullet points for orca attacks in the wild in the last century. Only two of those really qualify as attacks imo. No fatalities. The whole rest of the article is about attacks in captivity. PLENTY of fatalities.
My younger brother is a wildlife biologist and told me of a study he read where they did a brain scan on an orca. The area of their brain that is activated when they see a human is the exact same area of the human brain when we see a puppy.
Orcas are so intelligent and always had a special bond to mankind. It's saddened how greedy man had gotten. Orcas deserve to be free and happy, not trapped behind glass for human's enjoyment. Set them free.
need to worry about what's currently going on with wild orca before worrying about getting captive ones back in the ocean. read up on bio-accumulated toxicity in wild orca from human pollution and run-off.
You can’t just set them free. The vast majority of captive whales were born in captivity. The toxicity of the ocean, amongst other things, will kill them. As a matter of fact, the one whale they did try to release into the wild, died.
@@MissMolly3377 I'm pretty sure that's what it boils down to. I know that when 2 dogs meet, if one of them rolls over on its back, they are being submissive.
Killers whales are extremely smart. He's under water thinking- "just a little closer, a little closer, move that hand". "I wonder if they really do taste like chicken...."
the way this twirls in the beginning, beautiful. just casually swimming around in the ocean and suddenly "oh what was that, a human being? gotta get close to them and see what they're like"
Respect is nothing exclusive to human beings or even animals in general. Everything on Earth deserves respect (except people who really don't deserve it)
@@ianjones7718You left out the most important part or maybe you just don't know. The rest of the Whales body sinks to the bottom ocean floor for so many deep sea Marine life some that never come to the surface. They wait and this is their only meal for months! So for them Orca doing this is VITAL!!!! ONLY HUMAN kill for no reason!!!! Respect the Apex top predator and know there is ALWAYS a long chain of life under them that GET to eat Thanks to them!!! Right down to bacteria!!
They dont want humans as a meal! I wish people would stop with the negative comments! They are very intelligent and only kill when they are in captivity and I dont blame them. Just enjoy the beauty that it is!
@@kathleennabordenten6271 In my defense, its kinda like petting a pet pitbull. it aint gonna bite you but the jaws n teeth are capable of ripping your face off. So...yeah...its a predator, even though you arent on its food list, it is capable of drowning and bit you to pieces if it chose to do so without you being able to defend yourself (once you are underwater). Besides, theres nothing wrong in enjoying the beauty of a predator whilst being wary of it.
The next time you're on the water you need a soft brush on about a 6-foot pole. You could rub her down and she'd likely hang around for a while. The brush removes dead skin and Killer Whales love it.
Nevaeh Jones. Without Sea World, most wouldn't be fortunate enough in life to see this, and the whales bring in money that Sea World uses to help injured marine life. So give them a little bit of a break.
David Rook so you’re ok that sea world took orcas away from their families, from their homes just to be put in a cage with other orcas who they don’t know, to perform for our entertainment and have a shorter life span in captivity. I’m not saying sea world is just plain evil. Some of the things they do deserve praise, But In the case with orcas they are wrong.
EscoSnipe. Please make a better effort learning something before commenting on it. Sea World stopped taking Orcas from the ocean a very longtime ago, way before there was even a controversy over it. While you talk a mean streak about how bad Sea World is, who would you call if you found a sick seal, dolphin or any other sea critter washed up on shore? Sea World is one of the very few that actually have the resources and are willing to help. How about people that will never have the opportunity to see an Orca up close in the wild? Have you ever realized that the orcas would not survive being released back into the wild, that means they would have to spend their lives in sea pins. That alone would probably kill them faster than them performing, because they have become use to people, and are socially dependent on people now. You must try weighing the negatives vs. the positives, and I do believe Sea World comes out on top of the positives.
EscoSnipe the orcas at sea world were raised in captivity releasing them to the wild could be a death wish for them they don't know how to hunt and stuff.

I know. SeaWorld seriously disgusts me. I've never been to one of their shows, and never will. Taking these beautiful creatures out of their natural habitats just to train them and put on display is cruel. They arent objects to play with. They are animals who just want to live their lives in peace.
@@doireannlynch i completely agree, i couldnt have said it any better myself...
times infinity.
Anything is better than SeaWorld.
They are happy to venture the open world map 🌎
Nothing else to describe those animals except as Beautiful.
Same thought
Deadly
Apex predator...
I agree. I love Orcas. They look so elegant >///
Or murderous
видеть косатку на свободе большая радость и счастье🤗😍
Just amazing- there is so much there we don’t understand yet. Stunning animals.🌞
Anyone else lose their breath watching this? Not out of fear, just AWE.
When he showed those teeth though lol
VeganBítchcraft yes .. it was like magic ..moving
@@cajuntacos8423 Maybe he was smiling.
No, I just choked on a potato chip.
VeganBítchcraft i did but that’s because I’m asthmatic and was having an attack.
Half expected this to end with the orca grabbing her hand and taking her on an undersea adventure
Right?
Orcas in the wild are not dangerous to humans. Only in captivity
Djawyzard uuummmmkay......👍🏻
Your Friend Orcas have never killed a human in the wild to date, they’’he had plenty of chances and never have, if that doesn’t tell you that their smarter and on a different level of thinking compared to other animals then I don’t know what will
I read somewhere that it happened once cause the orca wanted to play. The woman survived though. You know, the human wanted to mess around then it was the orca's turn. Dragging her down in the sea and only let her get some air at the last minute, then repeated it for a few times. Not the best experience...
I'm sitting here in awe ! Such power and agility. Thank you for the video
The only way these magnificent, intelligent and beautiful dolphins should ever be observed or interacted with. On THEIR terms. Worried about this sweetheart tho. Where is their pod? They are not solitary creatures. Seems to really be craving some love and the other things they give each other. Thank you for sharing this! I doubt I will ever get to do this, so it's a blessing.😍🐬😞🙏
Just want to clarify a few key facts regarding this encounter. I am seeing lots of comments questioning the reason why this orca is alone, its behavior and why was it approaching the boat. First, this orca was never baited or fed at anytime. The woman was eating some food from a can as the orca made several passes around and under the boat. Perhaps this orca was curious about her eating, this may be a reason explaining some of this behavior...but it was never fed. There is no definitive explanation as to why he (it's a male) was behaving in this manner. He was extremely curious but never was there a point where we felt any threat or danger from this magnificent creature. We had this animal hanging around us for more than an 2 hours.
Regarding him being alone and without his pod...he was not alone when we first spotted him. There were 3 other orcas (1 male and 2 females) which followed us initially. The male stopped following after 5 minutes, the other 2 females after approximately 10 minutes. They swam off a bit while he stayed with us. After approximately 2 hours, he left and headed back towards his pod.
Another note: he was not injured. Some people are commenting on his fins/flippers being injured. He had parasitic copepods on both his pectoral fins/flippers and his fluke/tail. Not that uncommon.
I truly appreciate all of your comments and respect your opinions. However, if you have a negative comment, please be decent about it. We are all entitled to our opinions, whether positive or negative. Please just do it in a respectful way. It's easy to judge what happened, how or why it happened...we all are guilty of that from time to time. However, unless you were there, watching all the behavior leading up to this encounter, you really don't know...you can just assume. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. I will post more videos on this encounter soon.
Silver Shark Adventures You are all Awesome and I greatly appreciate you posting this video. I enjoy every beautiful moment and love the details behind your thrilling encounter!

Silver Shark Adventures 💜 🐬whenever you get a chance look for my email. You are much appreciated 💜🐬
That's not necessarily curiousity. Blowing bubbles, open mouth, that's a very clear threat display. Regardless if the woman never touched the orca, regardless if you never baited it, what you're doing is harassing wild animals.
Cheyenne Vervoort you clearly don't understand Orca behaviour. Or what the definition of harassment is. No negative comments on a page that shows the beauty of human animal connection! It is God Given and Soul Soothing!
You can see how smart they are when looking at the eye contact, amazing!
WITS - Whatever It Takes Sanctuary really? I don't see it. They look pretty subpar to me. Smarter than most other animals right after dolphins and before octopi but less intelligent than humans.
They are dolphins lol
Thomas Dang dolphins are a separate species. Get your facts straight.
Lmao Orcas are the largest of the dolphins.(www.google.com/search?q=are+orcas+dolphins&rlz=1CAASUJ_enUS712US712&oq=are+orcas+do&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.4562j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8).
Next time you should fact check yourself before you tell someone their wrong.
Thomas was correct.
So silly that it has such deep cute music. Orca was probably like: “food? Are you food? Not food? Bye”
WOW ! What an amazing experience, how blessed to have that happen to you , a once in a lifetime moment 👏👏👏
the only way anyone should view an orca
so true !
From the inside of it`s stomach???
Not everybody lives near the water to be able to, that was the beauty of marine parks back in the day & the only reason I even fell so in love with them to begin with. Sure this way is fine seeing them on a tv or internet screen, but there's no experience like seeing one in person & seeing just how majestic they really truly are. Marine parks brought the ocean world to those can't get to it, because I know after the remaining orcas Seaworld has left are gone since they've now discontinued the breeding program (and understandably so because I'm not against that decision & know it's just the right one to make) I along with most people will probably never see another one in any other way again outside of the television or the internet.
@@bolindalittle9445 why not just spend the money you spent on those awful parks to go to vancouver or washington state, and go on a whale watching tour
@@heretyk_1337 theres never been a person who has been attacked or killed by a orca
Orcas are intellects. He's studying
I was just waiting for Orca to flip the boat and have a snack. Flopping her hand in the water like a wounded meal, Idiot.
Hes kill you
Probably trying to bait her to get her to stick her hand farther in the water like they do with seals and birds.
so many people not educated enough about orcas .....last attack in wild was on 1970 and a guy didnt even die just needed 100 stitches ( which is a lot but still ) ...orcas are inteligent and we arent on their menu ...only attacks that happen are in captivity bcs orcas are aware that they are not free.
Just J My thought as well, who is watching who..?!
Wow. One of those moments in life that will never be forgotten and will be shared and talked about over the years to come. I must admit, I got a little misty eyed seeing it. But having said that, and understanding that these creatures are intelligent and self aware, we should keep in mind that we are in their domain out there. So, be careful friends.
Wow...that's pretty cool how he can just stop his entire body and turn effortlessly
There's something about a large animal coming from the depths, seemingly out of nowhere, that is terrifying.
When I was in Florida, the little crabs freaked me out 😂 I was kayaking and they took me by surprise. They looked like huge spiders on trees lol
but they look so cute!
Sissy Mary....
Yes, the Orca is a very beautiful but deadly creature. They literally feast on great white sharks!
@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 ....
This video gave me chills not just from the music but the interaction between 2 different species no aggression and both species being amazed by each other
Orcas have never killed a human in the wild. They might get curious of kayaks or swimmers but have never killed anyone. They could easily take you out in an instant too. These animals are highly intelligent and have ancestral knowledge they pass down. They probably know we're Homicidal psychopaths ourselves so they like us.
Just like we have interest and curiosity on knowing what’s deep inside the ocean. They also must feel the same on knowing what’s on the other side here in land .
He wasn't being friendly, he was trying to find a way to eat you. Which would have been a truly unique experience.
Beautiful, he’s doing what HE wants to do…..not what a human with a bucket of fish makes him do. Fantastic.
The way it twirls to a stop in the beginning is so cool.
Yes, that's so cool.
Yes, that was what I thought too.
Absolutely blew my mind...shows u how much strength and body control they have...amazing creatures...
Reerffffhhfhffgggggggygyhgg3hzht
It's incredible we live on this earth with these creatures.
I feel the same !
OG Lurker those species were on this earth before all of us so they live wit us on this earth
Right, humans are incredible creatures. 😃
humans..
OG Lurker: What i find amazing about Orcas is the relationship they have with humans. Orcas will kill and eat any living creature. Whales,Dolphins,Polar Bears, Sea Lions ect. but not humans. They made a conscience decision trust and see us as an equal and not mere food.
i know right, thats what i think
0:06 The fact that something so massive can make such a quick, sharp turn is astounding. I used to wonder how the hell they could catch seals or dolphins but they're so agile for their size.
White sharks somehow do that too while being bigger
What a beautiful creature. Great bit of footage. Thanks for uploading! 🙂
So beautiful, just know right now that this creature is most likely still alive, out there, in the deep blue ocean, living, existing. Amazing.

And tell his Pod about how he got this human to cycle to each side of his boat a few times just to see him. 🙂
Beautiful comment.
Y’all see that beautiful fin standing up. That’s how it should be
There are actually many wild orcas with collapsed and twisted dorsals out there
ninecupcakes no... there aint... you’re just being ignorant. Look at the videos you post. You’re sick
@@1ledan do some research before posting your comments.There are many videos on TH-cam of orcas in the wild with twisted dorsal finns.
(I'm not a Sea World fan)
Its a healthy one
@@1ledan You're a fucking idiot
It's just awesome to see that something that big and intelligent showing interest in interacting with you. If it really wanted to hurt you, there's absolutely nothing you could do about it.
I love the way the first clip shows it gliding in, and then stopping on a dime with a twist and a spin.
Wild orcas don't attack humans. This is where they should be, not in pools being driven insane.
I dont know Rick, you should try swimming at open sea with them and see what happens
@@cesarmendoza1311 it'll be OK ( I think)... Maybe 70% chance that they will swim along side with you as they've been know to behave gently with humans and the other 30% (lets not talk about it)...and as for me..I'd still not jump in with them..am afraid of being in the sea...
I agree, I think it is disgusting to put our worldly neighbors in there.. God intended them to be free in HIS oceans.
@@cesarmendoza1311 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whale_attack?wprov=sfla1
Compare the lengths of the lists in this article. There are seven bullet points for orca attacks in the wild in the last century. Only two of those really qualify as attacks imo. No fatalities.
The whole rest of the article is about attacks in captivity. PLENTY of fatalities.
........yet.
Just to point out to the people who don’t know,
Orcas and killer whales are the same thing.
And they are also the largest species of dolphin. Orca means 'whale killer' not killer whale.
Lamb Chop oh really didnt noticed that,did u knew he also can hold breath forever in water?amazing
No shit
0ceaniic omg really?
@@diogo7942 no they can't it's called a blow hole they hold their breath and come up out of the water to get air
Just saying but you said forever so
My younger brother is a wildlife biologist and told me of a study he read where they did a brain scan on an orca. The area of their brain that is activated when they see a human is the exact same area of the human brain when we see a puppy.
I like how it just leaves like "yea...fuck off"
Orcas are so intelligent and always had a special bond to mankind. It's saddened how greedy man had gotten.
Orcas deserve to be free and happy, not trapped behind glass for human's enjoyment. Set them free.
I’m tired of seeing these broad and ambiguous things like “man” be more specific... the white European man.. call it what it is
need to worry about what's currently going on with wild orca before worrying about getting captive ones back in the ocean. read up on bio-accumulated toxicity in wild orca from human pollution and run-off.
@@chaunceygore2741 what
@@chaunceygore2741 so nobody but white european men can put orcas in seaworld?
You can’t just set them free. The vast majority of captive whales were born in captivity. The toxicity of the ocean, amongst other things, will kill them. As a matter of fact, the one whale they did try to release into the wild, died.
This here is a happy, healthy, loving, fun, Orca. Who agrees?
It belongs at Seaworld for the world to see
NO!!! What is wrong with you!?!?
Yes, very healthy from eating other whales and baby hump backs. They’re pretty, but they’re savage and are assholes in the wild.
They are just living when we eat hot dogs and tuna we kill animals. Go look at horse nerds, they are “savage” too. It’s how they communicate and live.
@@Vapor_Man650 i wish i could let one of the orca play with you. Ocra's should be free.
1:22 The Orca waving goodbye was amazing
What a wonderfully still ocean and such clear water.
Orcas, Dolphins & Elephants are some of the most intelligent and emotional animals on this planet.
So true...but you do know Orcas ARE dolphins right? They are NOT killer whales.🙏🐬😍
@@laurametheny1008 Yes but sometimes they kill for no reason...
And Gorilla

Moments like this don't need a soundtrack.

That really touched my Heart, Mind, Soul and Spirit. Such a Wonderful and Beautiful moment ❤
What a beautiful video! We just went to SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida and were able to see them very close, they are amazing! Thank you!
Stop supporting animal cruelty.
This would be a encounter I would remember for the rest of my life.
What a magical moment. I wonder what drew her attention.
kranichkrone simple curiosity drew her in. Amazing animals
kranichkrone Maybe a mechanical floatation device with hyper intelligent primates on it. But I don't know.
Sahil Patil he wasn't sure if it was hair or food in her armpit. And, frankly, neither am i
human flesh.
DID YOU JUST ASSUME ITS GENDER?!?!?!
humans : lets cherish every second of this magical experience
orca : when are they going to feed me
that is pretty cool how fast the orca goes and stops and flips around to check out the person. just floats there for a second as if its in the air
It rolled over and exposed its belly , I think to say , I trust you .
Michael Taylors
bruh, killer whales trust no human being...
@@ferrovic nah them exposing belly is a sign of trust, if u wanna go dive with them u should show them belly urself :)
Or, as Jacques Cousteau used to say “as if too say...” 🥰
It seems like many animals do that when they trust you. So, that could be true.
@@MissMolly3377
I'm pretty sure that's what it boils down to. I know that when 2 dogs meet, if one of them rolls over on its back, they are being submissive.
Killers whales are extremely smart. He's under water thinking- "just a little closer, a little closer, move that hand". "I wonder if they really do taste like chicken...."
DIOSpeedDemon IT was curious, curious about what humans taste like.
like they know the taste of chicken lmao
*+DIOSpeedDemon*
*When did she catch a chicken?*
Watch "BlackFish"...."Killer Whales" dont kill humans, in the wild at least. That names gives them a bad, undeserving rep.
Haven't you ever heard of Chicken of the Sea tuna?
He said dag on it can one of yall throw me a treat or something 🤣 and his lil laugh showin his teeth was too adorable🐬🖤
dude when a creature looks at you like that it must be chilling. that's a higher life form right there with deep intelligence
the way this twirls in the beginning, beautiful. just casually swimming around in the ocean and suddenly "oh what was that, a human being? gotta get close to them and see what they're like"
Beautiful but deadly. Always respect
O do uf dozr
Finally someone who understands
Respect is nothing exclusive to human beings or even animals in general. Everything on Earth deserves respect (except people who really don't deserve it)
Here we see a video of one of natures most ruthless killing machines. Also theres an orca.
subsamadhi Ha! You practically got me here for a split second 😂. Good job. Thumb up.
No matter how old I get, I can never get it into my head that that giant white patch on the side is NOT their eye😂
OMG. He got bored and unimpressed really quickly! LOL! "Nah.. This is boring! Bye, Felicia!" 😂
My dream is to see an Orca in the wild. I know I would cry if I had an encounter like this.
Yes! Their so pretty! To see one that's not in SeaWorld or an aquarium would be great!!!
U and I both!!! When I see Marine life and land animals I see God!
My dream too! I pray to God I get the opportunity.
Robson's Bight in British Columbia Canada place to be if you to see Orca's in the wild 😊
Me too i would cry
This is nature at its finest! Truly beautiful creatures!
Yeah man, my favourite sea creature
until they drown young whales and only eat their tongues
@@ianjones7718You left out the most important part or maybe you just don't know. The rest of the Whales body sinks to the bottom ocean floor for so many deep sea Marine life some that never come to the surface. They wait and this is their only meal for months! So for them Orca doing this is VITAL!!!! ONLY HUMAN kill for no reason!!!! Respect the Apex top predator and know there is ALWAYS a long chain of life under them that GET to eat Thanks to them!!! Right down to bacteria!!
Yeah right.....Orcas are the biggest blood thirstiest assholes in the oceans.....
@@MiaEZ orcas sometimes hunt for sport to
Dumbass
The way she turned around 🥺 I wanna see one in the wild SO badly.
As I said, the Orcas do not eat humans, only the Orcas that are in captivity kill them, but well, the orca is really beautiful, super beautiful 💕
Me: Such a beautiful encounter
Inner Me: Remember that video where the orca use bait to lure bird n then eat it?
Eleeth Tahgra EGGG XACTLY
If PEOPLE DON’T STOP MAKING EGG JOKES ACCIDENTLY OR ON PURPOSE I GONNA SCRAMBLE THEM!!!
They are wild intellects and hunt to eat just like other wild animals... but humans are not on the menu.
They dont want humans as a meal! I wish people would stop with the negative comments!
They are very intelligent and only kill when they are in captivity and I dont blame them.
Just enjoy the beauty that it is!
@@kathleennabordenten6271
In my defense, its kinda like petting a pet pitbull. it aint gonna bite you but the jaws n teeth are capable of ripping your face off.
So...yeah...its a predator, even though you arent on its food list, it is capable of drowning and bit you to pieces if it chose to do so without you being able to defend yourself (once you are underwater).
Besides, theres nothing wrong in enjoying the beauty of a predator whilst being wary of it.

The next time you're on the water you need a soft brush on about a 6-foot pole. You could rub her down and she'd likely hang around for a while. The brush removes dead skin and Killer Whales love it.
Thats the King Of the Ocean....Intelligent, humble and is capable of any handling that the sea has to offer
Sea world should watch this and see the difference between this whale and the ones they hold captive
Nevaeh Jones. Without Sea World, most wouldn't be fortunate enough in life to see this, and the whales bring in money that Sea World uses to help injured marine life. So give them a little bit of a break.
David Rook so you’re ok that sea world took orcas away from their families, from their homes just to be put in a cage with other orcas who they don’t know, to perform for our entertainment and have a shorter life span in captivity. I’m not saying sea world is just plain evil. Some of the things they do deserve praise, But In the case with orcas they are wrong.
EscoSnipe. Please make a better effort learning something before commenting on it. Sea World stopped taking Orcas from the ocean a very longtime ago, way before there was even a controversy over it. While you talk a mean streak about how bad Sea World is, who would you call if you found a sick seal, dolphin or any other sea critter washed up on shore? Sea World is one of the very few that actually have the resources and are willing to help. How about people that will never have the opportunity to see an Orca up close in the wild? Have you ever realized that the orcas would not survive being released back into the wild, that means they would have to spend their lives in sea pins. That alone would probably kill them faster than them performing, because they have become use to people, and are socially dependent on people now. You must try weighing the negatives vs. the positives, and I do believe Sea World comes out on top of the positives.
EscoSnipe the orcas at sea world were raised in captivity releasing them to the wild could be a death wish for them they don't know how to hunt and stuff.
Exactly Jennifer
They’re as curious as we are.
Amazing!
