- 7 Orca Encounters That'll Brighten Your Day. Killer whale or Orca encounter are some amazing moment for who is lucky enough to live it. You'll see 7 orca encounters in this video, a Wild Orca encounter at the Bay of Islands, a raw footage of NOAA researchers tagging orcas with cross bows (killer whales) in Antarctica, Luna, a wild orca, plays with his human friend and many more encounters.
Orcas (or killer whales) are large, powerful apex predators. In the wild, there have been NO RELIABLY VERIFIED FATAL ATTACKS ON HUMANS. In captivity, there have been several non-fatal and four fatal attacks on humans since the 1970s.

Luna was a male, not female as the narrator indicated. He was probably the friendliest Orca ever known by humans.
Thank you!
Luna, the one orca the government killed and tried to blame it on ship propellers..

I love orcas!
The story of Luna isn't a happy one. That's a young male, part of the Southern Resident Community of orcas L Pod and was known as L98 on records but given the nickname Luna. Sadly over a winter, the pod lost five members, and Luna at age 2 ended up separated finding their way into a river system. Luna however was old enough to feed himself and was monitored and in good health. Plans were made to try and guide him to his surviving pod mates and back to his mother Splash (L67) by louring him in a large floating pen that would be tugged by a boat to keep him safe and guide him along to where his family was spotted.
But then people started getting in the way. Started going out to play and pet the young orca and with Luna being a youngster of 2 years at the time started interacting back. This made Luna stay and view boats and people as friends to approach. This is NOT good for a wild orca. It was made worse when a tribe of the area whose Chief passed claimed Luna to be the incarnation of their Chief and would get in the way and sabotage all attempts rescuers would make to reunite Luna with the remainder of their pod by going out onto the waters in small boats and lour Luna away or try to hide him in smaller coves.
Luna would end up staying 4 years in that river with many attempts made to try and return him to his pod, but people would not leave him alone. Even with laws and fines in place to try and prevent people from playing with him, it didn't stop people from still trying to play, pet, and get him to chase their boats... People wanted him to stay for the commodity of 'having an orca live there' and so they could play and interact with the 'friendly orca'.
In 2006 at 6 years old Luna was killed after being sucked into the propellers of a tug boat that he was seen swimming up to play with like he often did with smaller boats...
(Edit: Toy clarify, the tug boat was not moving, it was sitting idle with its prop moving to keep it from drifting in the river current, it was waiting to tug a larger logging vessel out once it was finished loading. These boats are not commonplace and it was the first time Luna had seen one... and well.. got too close.)
If people would have just left him alone and let the rescuers do their jobs Luna may still be alive and well back with his pod as a healthy 21-year-old bull today...
The sad thing is, the Southern Resident Community of orcas are endangered. The loss of Luna back then reduced the number of males to just two individuals... (thankfully that number had gone up) between all three pods that make up this species of orcas (there's 10 subspecies) only 73 some of them still exist as of 2022, with only two new births reported this year. For this population, every member counts.
(Edit: While I can't offer a link as youtube will auto delete comments with links. You can search up 'orca luna documentary' and find several clips and a full-on well, documentary on Luna's venture. There's even a plaque put up in his memory.)
While on the subject, do take this time to look up info on orcas! Did you know there are 10 subspecies? Each with their own diet, behaviors, ecosystems, markings, and body shapes! Luna, was a Resident Orca! Of the Southern Resident group, strictly fish eaters nomming on chinook and salmon! The Southern Resident group is made up of 3 famaly pods, J, K, and L. Luna was from L pod, with only 73 orcas across all three pods.
What a sad ending to that beautiful creatures life
Thanks for posting this cautionary tale
Those First Nations people are really responsible for the delays to reunite this majestic Orca. "Reincarnated chief"... SMH
@@ricki-bobby Indeed. theres a video documentry you can search for and find that covered the events and it shows footage of those fools getting in the way of each resuce attempt. (id link it but youtube has been auto deleting comments containing links x.x) Them plus just people in general that lived there wanting to play and keep Luna there for their selfish enjoyment is what got Luna to think boats and peop,e were fun things to play with, to the point that with the laws in place Luna would get into trouble and cause damage when people were forced to ignore him. It was just a sad chain of events that would never have happend if people would have left him be and let those trying to help well, help.
Luna crossed our path when we were traveling from Friendly Cove to Gold River in 2002. It is truly sad what happened to him. He deserved better.
Can you believe we live on a planet with this much incredible life!
AMAZING!
Makes one wonder why this incredible life is not appreciated and valued more than it actually is.
You dont know why? Media, money, distractions. TV. Politics. Schooling. Work. The rat race. Everything that is soooo “vitally important”, that we didn’t ask to be a part of, but that we are born into. Not saying this modern day society is impossible to sustain. We know there’s a will and a way. But sadly, the rat race, as a whole, distracts the masses. That’s why the beauty of nature isn’t always appreciated fully.
Scratch that… it IS appreciated, I think; sure, lots of people love animals or plants or gardening… but if you’re like me, & you truly see the beauty; become one with a subject or a passion…I.e, get SUPER into it, & actually retain facts & information… or become experienced at raising animals or growing plants, thats when you try to talk to “like-minded” people, but the people look at you like deer in the headlights. Like you’re a hippy or something. It’s like, no; I just know stuff. I thought you did too.. so, nvm I tell them. lol
Wait till you find out what actually goes inside a orcas head
They are so intelligent... but why do we kill them?.. all the whales are like... I hope and pray that they will still be apart of the planet.....
Millions of years of evolution💪💪👍
Luna was not around Vancouver But farther up the west coast of vancouver Island, he hung around the waters off of Zeballos and Tahsis for weeks, he was very inquisitive and playful. I had an encounter with him while scuba diving off the southern tip of Center Island.
Thank you for the story🙏
That’s amazing man!
I saw the documentary about him. It made me cry so much in the end. Truly an amazing being, and us human beings addicted to industrialism.... we killed him.
@@tephrafalls6321 What?!!! Why was he killed?!
@@andydhillon1977 tugboat ran Luna over
To see them in their natural environment is heart warming ❤❤❤❤. Not in sea world prison where they become depressed from being walled in.
so true🙌
Shad up and eat you meat
#DONTBUYATICKET Yesss!!
I agree. Sea World should be banned from caging orcas. It's just not right, they are most happy w/ their pod. It's unnatural to keep then in a caged pool at Sea World, and Sea World needs to acknowledge that.
It makes me so happy seeing these animals wild and free, happy in the wild. Where they belong. ❤
Exactly! Screw Seaworld, this is where orcas belong.❤️
To help orcas stay happy in the wild we must find a method to combat ocean pollution, or aquariums could become the only home for their species.
@@adamgoncalves1591Screw Blackfish
Number 5: On first inspection that diver looks a little too much like a seal! 😂
😅😅👍
There’s no such thing as mistaken identity with orcas, these are not dumb sharks that just go about trying to eat anything that moves, they are picky eaters to the point where their echolocation lets them distinguish king salmon, which they prefer as it’s the fattiest one, from other types of salmon, and they don’t waste their energy test biting stuff; they know exactly what they want and it ain’t our chewy bone and muscle bodies.
@@Neurosis_Cordis If sharks were dumb there would be hundreds of surfers and swimmers eaten daily. So occasionally a juvenile gets confused and tastes that seal-looking thing. We are the most fragile large mammal in the water, so it's always a disaster. Enough with the badmouthing sharks, thank you.
Exactly what I was thinking!
In 2019, my ex-gf and I were among the beach goers that participated in trying to save beached orcas in Argentina. I can't remember the name of the city but I think it's Mar Chernita or Mar Cheriza. We dumped sea water, we collected using buckets, on one of the orca's head to keep its skin moist and that's when we noticed a scar on the upper rear end of its right eye. It was shaped like an inverted "V" and very distinct.
In 2020, we were at Redondo Beach, CA on paddle boats when we encountered a pod of orcas. When one of them surfaced, we immediately noticed the distinctive inverted "V" scar and I can't believe we encountered the same orca from just 9 months back.
Amazingly, the orca hung around us while gently pushing our boards separately. It left for 5 minutes and returned with what appeared to be a big fish dangling over its mouth. It hung around us for good 20 minutes making all kinds of noise. Finally before re-joining the rest of its pod, it's tail scooped up some sea water and flung it towards us. I don't know what to make of the encounter but I'll remember this the rest of my life.
I was told orcas have excellent memory. So I'm thinking it remembered us. Maybe it's trying to thank us????
Wow!
A beautiful encounter!
That’s awesome!
It sounds like it brought you a thank you gift in fish form. Highly valuable gift to them. Incredible
Well done. Pretty sure it did remember.
Such an awesome experience!
Eventhough there’s been no recorded attacks by orcas in the wild I’d still be pretty scared to see one while kayaking. This happened with a pod of dolphins and even that was intimidating 😆
They are dolphins! I know it’s hard to think of them them like that but they are! They’re insanely smart, the initial clip, the orca shows it’s belly. It’s a sign that the orca trusts the people on the boat.
@Ken Fullman They may have capsized a boat but surely they were not ATTACKING those on board, nor the ship. I’ve never once even seen or heard of this. Nor seen a video of them flipping a kayaker or anything else for that matter. They are the smartest creature in the ocean and know humans are not a source of protein. They literally only eat liver and whale.
@@rileycondo4399 no its not that they think our meat is useless its almost like they can see or sense intelligence in us but we take this for granted
@Ken Fullman There have been 4 orca deaths and all four were in captivity because they go insane there. Orcas likely don't eat us because we're not meaty enough.
Dolphins can be bullies. but not Orca. As smart as Dolphin are I believe Orca are even smarter.
Just beautiful. These have always been my favorite. And would love to see them in the wild. But in a kayak? I think i would have a heart attack. That's crazy.
Mine too. One day I'll get to New Zealand to see the pod there. When I see people on a boat meet with Orcas I always feel like I would leap right off that boat without thinking about it!
Not at all, Orcas don't kill or hunt humans, they are just curious creatures that are very nosy when it comes to interacting with a humanoid.
I would be so scared especially if alone but it would probably be the most amazing experience in the world
I don't believe there's ever been a negative encounter with a person in a kayak with any of these beautiful animals. they're all super smart and obviously know the drill. They ALWAYS approach slowly and carefully as to not scare us. Now a huge Orca can swim over 30 mph so imagine being charged by them. But they never do that.
One simple nudge to say hello and the whole kyak is doomed.
Orca (Young): Look there's something weird in the water! Can we eat it?
Orca (Matriarch): That's just junk food.
😅😅👍
They are so wonderful ❤ I lived in Hawaii for 20 years and was in complete awe of the humpbacks that come every year. I called the calves “flying pickles” because that’s exactly what they look like when ❤they are learning to beach.
I’ve swam with sharks and even a whale shark, probably the coolest moment ever! I need to be near the ocean again!
This is actually not uncommon behavior for orcas. The only time they've ever killed humans was during their time in Sealand and Seaworld. There are no recorded orca attacks from out in the wild. They may be called killer whales, but they do not have any sort of taste for humans. In fact, they're nothing more than oversized, panda-bear cosplaying dolphins. They're very playful and very smart. So don't worry: if you're swimming and you see an orca, you're completely safe so long as you don't agitate it.
I was gone to make the same comment
Well not cosplay as they are technically dolphins
There are fish eating Orcas and mammal eating Orcas. The fish eating Orcas use clicks to locate food via sonar, mammal eating Orcas you will not find divers around with them.
The intelligence shown here by a wild animal is amazing. A willing to interact with humans is great, I wonder if somewhere down the line if communication might be established. Wow the things that we both could learn. I guess though as bad as humans are at relationships it might be better if we left them alone.
Do you Folks Know that Non Humans Are Intelligent? You are taught to view Them as "it's", They Are Some Of Humanities Finest Teachers.Guides...Thank You❤
Researchers arr trying to use AI to communicate with them. Apparently they found out they even name their children.
These are such beautiful creatures, can we all thank GOD for having Created such creatures!!
Beautiful mammals I love how they move so swiftly and effortlessly.
They are beautiful and very cute
We should be honoured that they even give us a moments interest as we have treated them so incredibly badly 😐
Couldn’t agree more
Love the thumbnail, it looks like they're just having a chat. Man and Orca putting the world to rights, how wonderful 😊.
I was on a whale watch out of Gloucester, MA and we had close encounters with a couple of Humpbacks that came close enough to the boat not to touch, but to be sprayed with their breath/snot every time they took one, and the mom and baby would spyhop and look right at us. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Up there with the birth of my daughter, it was that beautiful.
Thank you for this story🙌
Orcas kill Humpbacks for fun, especially the babies. They leave us alone, because we have never been in their diet and we interest them. Most animals kill to survive. Orcas kill for fun and torture their prey.
I was in ANTARCTICA and was so many orcas whales and millions pingunes AMEZING
It was the best show we EVER seen better than
XMAS - spectacular on Brodway 🤣😂👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful story ❤️ Gloucester is beautiful. I haven't been there in awhile do you know if they still do whale watching there? 🐋
@@I.pray.to.George.Carlin Yes they still do whale watches. there are several different places that do it. I'm pretty sure they are all great.
How beautiful...why would anyone ever think of hunting these beautiful kind creatures 😢🥺
😪
People don’t hunt orcas bro
As deadly and ferocious as they definitely are, they have a capacity for kindness and loving that’s positively dolphin-like
Well they are dolphins
These videos are a breath of fresh air and thank you so much for sharing. The voice covering the videos along with the beautiful scenes are unique and of quality that brings hope and memories of childhood. Be well! Thank you!!
Have you thought about NOT telling everyone what they can clearly see for themselves? So we can enjoy the clips in peace..
How about, you create a video with no narration.
That way, the rest of us can enjoy this FREE content, this channel is putting out for us and you can enjoy your own 👍

Orcas are apparently so smart - they've never attacked a human in the open sea on record...? Amazing.
In the wild, there have been no reliably verified fatal attacks on humans. In captivity, there have been several non-fatal and four fatal attacks on humans since the 1970s
///Orcas are apparently so smart...///
They are, but I think it has more to do with 100,000 years of evolution. For the same reason most apex predators leave humans alone. Whenever they have killed humans, we usually hunt down the individual responsible and kill them, which removes the 'humans are food' individuals from the gene pool, leaving only those that don't see us as food to propagate. The result is a species that could easily kill us, but simply isn't instinctively triggered to hunt us, like they are with seals, penguins and wotnot. I still wouldn't exclude the possibility that one day an Orca will eat a human just to see what we taste like. If there are enough human/orca encounters, I'm sure it would/will happen.
@@Martyntd5 1. Only on land, in the oceans for last thousands years we didn't kill man-eating dolphins, so it's the wrong theory. And even on the land it doesn't work very well.
2. It will not happen, they are too smart.
The last deliberate orcas attack on humans in the wild (not counting mistakes and captivity) occurred in 1910 during the Terra Nova Expedition; it was on the ice floe - but eventually they ate the mule and leaved people alone. From the beginning of XX c. they kinda decided not to attack humans - and their language allowed to spread the decision across the oceans.
Just look, as the only real apex predator on Earth they attack everything but humans, from blue whales to polar bears, including birds and land animals like mooses in Alaska. Everything within reach of the jaws - except humans (and dogs when they are with us), despite very frequent meetings in the water. It simply must be intentional.
@@Yetiiii What a load of arse.
Reason you dont hear about Orca attacks is likely cause Orcas leaves no survivors and likely the human they went after broke the treaty
How can you report a Orca attack if there is no one left to report it's a orca attack?
It's like that one line in Pirates of the Caribbean. Curse of the Black Pearl. When the pirates are discussing the pearl.
. Leaves no survivors.
No survivors you say? Then where do the stories come from I wonder.
Such beautiful creatures... we tried to save the life of an Orca that got himself into trouble a couple of years ago his was Toa and sadly he passed away... Toa will always be remembered.. thanks from NZ 🇳🇿
I have been lucky to have some incredible experiences, sights with orca’s here along our southern Alaskan coast over many years throughout mainly the southeast inside passage and all around the kenai fjords outside of Seward as well as Kodiak island! They never cease to amaze me!Simple!😉🤪
My mom loved orcas. They were one of her favorites. I have to admit I love them too. They are so happy, beautiful and amazing creatures
I just love Luna. That was amazing. A perfect example how humans and animals can coexist. Respect from both sides and with nature 👍♥️

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful findings of sea life. If not for people like you …. I wouldn’t get to see the beautiful animals you share ❤
This video put me in tears and smiling. They are just so beautiful.
I live in Norway, but have yet to seen any Orcas. It would really be a privelege to see them in real life! True exploration is not the land it covers but the journey it inspires!
Sadly Luna died sometime later. He was accidentally run through the props of a very large Tugboat. They reported it to a man and woman who kept track of him. Sad I know. I felt bad for quite a long time after hearing it.
😔💔
yes and he was from the endangered L-pod of northern residents (fish eating, pacific NW) the doc: th-cam.com/video/-YzeOnF1I58/w-d-xo.html
So they say that's how he died or went missing.
@@Untouchable_worldwide meaning there was a contingent of people 'annoyed' by Luna and wanted to either sell him to an aquarium or 'get rid of him' by 'accident': first nations people and others stepped in to protect Luna for as long as they could
Awww how awful😢
I absolutely loved this thank you it's lovely. To see wildlife in it's own environment beutiful
So beautiful. Thank you I'd never get to see them otherwise.
Being towed behind a boat in a full black wetsuit has to be one of the dumbest ideas iv ever encountered 😂😂😂
Orca with their intelligence, group dynamics, and their echo location absolutely know the difference between a human and their very exclusive culinary interests! They are really picky eaters.
Luna I love an miss you so much 🐳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😿😥😢🥺

Luna was just beautiful! Orcas are so smart.
If I ever meet an orca in the ocean I hope it's as playful and gentle as Luna. 😄❤🥰

I love the Whole Cetacean family. Having written a thesis on the relationship between Dolphin and Human they are quite possibly more intelligent than we are given their environment. The only tool or weapon a human really has is it’s brain, and the Orca is one very big Dolphin that can X-ray you with sonar and quite possibly stun prey with their sonar to. The blasted US government has used Dolphins to attach mines to the bottom of ships. Let these beautiful noble creatures be free. Lovely video incidentally.
I don't know why you decided to single out only the U.S., because several other countries (who I would rank higher on the nefarious scale) used many sea mammals. Russia, and Iran in particular, as well as reports of Israel. Ukraine used to have a program before Russia illegally took over Crimea. Dolphins, seals, and beluga whales are the most popular, with seals being noted for their "professionalism" ☺.
Also, there is no proof of them being used to attach mines. It would be way too risky to do that. The Russians learned that lesson while using dogs to slide under tanks in WWII that would trigger a switch on their back to explode under the tank, unfortunately (or deserving for using a animal in this way) the dogs were more familiar with Russian tanks so they would often go under the wrong tanks (or did they? "Woof, from Russia with love, "comrad"" 😁).
What they are certainly used for is rescue of people, locating mines and equipment, guarding ships and harbors from enemy divers (spotting and signalling their presence), and recon. The U.S. takes very good care of them with teams of trainers and veterinarians who bond with them.
There are some unsubstantiated reports of training them to attack, by attaching spikes to dolphin noses or even hypodermic needles with compressed air, though many experts have said it was impossible to train them to attack humans, so who knows. It would be terrifying if they could train leopard seals and orcas, though. There was also a somewhat outlandish claim of a dolphin or seal with camera and remote control harpoon gun, a bit unsettling. Or how about [Doctor Evil voice] "sharks with fricken laser beams" 🤭
Cambiano government needs to stop using any form of wildlife to do their bidding.
Always enjoy your videos
Thank you🙌
One day, I will get to see these exquisite animals in the wild!
Beautiful, intelligent, smart critters
True! Thank you🤝🏻
The others were good, but the video with Luna especially was really something else. 🙂❤
🙌
I'm surprised number 5 wasn't attacked, looks so much like a seal.
They really are a beautiful being and should only be seen in the wild EVER
You're right! Thank you
Orcas are so beautiful and intelligent. I know they are called the wolves of the ocean because they hunt in packs. It upsets me, though, when they prey on whales. Orcas are plentiful throughout our oceans but whales aren’t. Our human species hunted whales to near extinction, and for that reason, I want to protect them.
You're right, thank you
Orcas are very much at risk too but I hear you about the orca/whale encounters...
The whales eat their prey alive (they have no teeth). Millions of crustaceans and small fish die in terrible pain in their stomach acid - the whales are the biggest pain factories in known universe.
So I prefer the orcas eat them.

@@GraceH81 True. So don't come in contact with any!
When I was a kid my grandpa would take me into the Puget sound to go salmon fishing. I didn’t do much fishing myself but I liked being on the boat. One reason was because I got to see the orcas who patrolled the area in search of the fish we where tying to catch. Too bad I didn’t have a little hand held camera back then to capture all the amazing sights. Those guys will steel the fish off your line if you don’t real them in quick enough!

How do I subscribe to Capt. Dave and the Orca's? Orca's are my favorite animal. Thank you Capt. Dave for all that you are are doing to help these Wonderful animals and educate people about them. I got the to meet Keiko when he was here in Newport Oregon. He came right up to the glass and just stared at me for about 5 minutes. It was if he was looking into my soul. I will Never Forget that moment. The instructor lady told us all that Keiko did this with certain people from time to time. She said all were of my frame and stature. I cried when they took him away. I knew what was going to happen. I cried even harder that day. 😢. Thank you Again and Please let me know Capt. Dave how do I subscribe to your page. Have a Wonderful weekend.

These are wild Orcas and if you want to get close to any Orca, just go to something like the Seaworld. Grab a front row seat. But they are not free Orcas.

@Lisa wise
It's on my bucket list... as soon as I can come up with the m9ney for round trip plane tickets & hotel, plus... food & Of course charter a boat, I'm There !!🤣🤩😅
@@PADS62 I know what you mean, I wish you the best on that bucket list. I'm going when I get enough money one of these days too.
Trivial as it is I loved the diver and his bottom blowing bubbles where he had unsurprisingly passed wind lol
🤣
Timestamp!
Encounter 5: I’m guessing those whales were like ‘WTF kinda seal is that?’😂😂😂😂😂
Orcas definitely my favorite marine animal powerful beautiful just an amazing creature and how they have their little families together they're awesome.... I'm onboard captain
Im surprised you guys didn't see the video of the men in New Zealand. They swam with pods of orcas in New Zealand waters, they recorded themselves swimming with the orcas and they used the Free Willy song for their videos. It was an amazing video. I envy those guys who swam with them with no fear. Of course I wouldn't recommend anyone doing this, but they had an indescribable experience. 😊❤️
Lucky they didn't get charged if they weren't scientists. NZ has strict laws against swimming with marine mammals.
I absolutely love watching Orca videos & my fantasy is to one day swim with a wild pod of them 🙏🏾 ☺️
Such a beautiful and fascinating beeing 🤗
It is so nice to see Orcas in their natural habitat. Dorsal fin straight and healthy, and not bent over and floppy looking like the ones in captivity.
I'd have a heart attack...
Many thanks for this very good Video👍❤
Thank you🙏

Wunderschöne Tiere.

Luna was exceptional. Sadly, killed accidentally by a tugboat propeller in March 2006.
Really sad
@@captaindrake5253 quite heartbreaking. He was born in the Puget Sound, and somehow got lost from his family. There was a plan being formed to relocate him to the Puget Sound, and then he was accidentally killed. That was a very very very AWFUL day.
#3 Luna if a real love ! Wonderful!!!❤
De toute beauté j en pleurerait je suis en amour avec ces animaux marin. Merci de Louise du Québec. 💕😽🐾😘👍
That's very impressive! 💥💥💥
Amazing creatures🤝🏻
@@captaindrake5253 ❤️
It never ceases to amaze me that these Apex predators do not eat humans. I mean, we are always in the water, and when you see that they eat seals--which also have heavy boney bodies--we should be on their menu. When you add to that the way 'researchers' are always hurting them by stabbing them with tags and trackers, you would think they would grow to resent us. I am glad they don't eat us because we would wipe them out, and perhaps they have figured that out.
True !
We are Not fat enough as a seal
Orcas reconize that humans are predators that can hunt them down and thus intelligent. Attacking a human and leaving it to survive means more might come to take revenge. So Orcas knows to play nice especially with a creature who seems at the moment to be friendly and wants to interact. They know humanity can bend the laws of nature to its will
@@Jasonth131 How can you say that? Haven't you seen Lizzo, or recently that fat chick from Brazil who was told she was too fat for a plane seat? Or have you just totally avoided never been to a Wal-mart?
