Actually Transient orcas do hunt birds or Penguins seals baby hump whales 🐋mostly for the tongue they are known to be picky eaters in the wild of course but that shows they can be rehabilitated cut human contact and let them be free
One time we were standing on the other Skywalk and one of the whales (this was before I learned to identify them, so I don't know who) jumped pretty much entirely out of the water to grab a bird that was flying over the pool.
Not just that. Sometimes they pass time with their trainers. It's not like the trainers are in the park for several hours the day for anything else other than the animals they have been placed with.
@@dimitristsekeris1821 the trainers get to leave and go places. These poor mammals do the same shit day in day out day in day out day in day out day in day out.
@@bari2883 They couldn't do anything else. It's not like in the ocean they have orca libraries, orca nightclubs or something like that. Their life is about swimming and eating.
@@dimitristsekeris1821 there is so much more to their lives than that. They teach the young how to hunt, were to hunt. They go with other pods to mate. They swim 100 miles all the time.

Thanks for the comment! Sorry, I don't know. The soundtracks that plays in the Shamu Skywalks might've been composed for SeaWorld so you may not be able to look them up.
Is like watching prisoners turning prison food into something more delicious or palatable... Amazing anyways. Never knew they are capable of using bait to hunt for bigger preys.
They are so succesful at hunting that they can even be picky about what they eat. Thats why they only eat certain organs from a shark (liver for example) and leave the rest to nature.
@@jasonbladzinski5336 True. the great whites have even learnt to stay away from them. Whenever u see the orcas swimming in or near shark-prone areas, u will have hard time finding a shark because they have all run away, I mean swum away.
It is just me who loves SeaWorld music? I could listen to it all day long. And you always capture some wonderful moments, so jealous that Orlando doesn't offer the chance to hang out with the whales! San Diego has a great setup! Thanks for sharing.
So by your definition are traps tools? You don't physically manipulate those while you use them. Anyways, it did manipulate the fish physically, and then waited for something to try to eat it instead of eat it itself. Manipulated bait, reflected on another individual's desires, and all for fun too.
Just made me think as humans, we are Hunter gatherers! We aren't living how we should be either, stressed out all the time, chasing money to pay bills, eating crap processed foods....wish we could be free
+Chaoticstorm So they don't really eat the birds caught; they really just take it apart as if it was a toy. So, I would say it's for amusement more than anything. Also, they may bait birds but may not show intention to catch the birds (actually lunging) every time they do it. Killer whales are known to prey on birds and in general are opportunistic hunters but it's highly unlikely they learned to regurgitate food to catch them. It's easier to do it at SeaWorld when the birds there have learned to steal food from unnatural sources.
+EchoBeluga Do you think that the orcas are doing this because they lack for environmental enrichment that they would normally have in the wild? Intelligent mammals are known to take on destructive behaviours when bored. I only say this because they would have no intention of eating the bird.
Labra dorable I think that's feasible. It was probably something they learned over time when regurgitating fish and seagulls were attracted, and it's something that the younger ones pick up on too. But yes, captive animals are generally less exposed to dynamic stimuli than wild animals and the challenge is to make sure they remain stimulated outside of interactions with their trainers (which is arguably the most stimulating part of their day). With orcas this can be achieved with intraspecies social interaction and environmental enrichment. Sometimes they'll come up with their own games and in extreme cases, exhibit stereotypical behavior. I will say that enrichment programs at SeaWorld, while they are getting better, always have more room for improvement.
I think the skywalk music is pretty nice too! Thank you so much! I wholeheartedly agree about wishing the other SeaWorld parks had more viewing opportunities for their performing cetaceans. Glad you liked the video.
It’s good that Orkid and Ikaika used regurgitated fish in order to lure the birds in. You see how they plan their bird hunt carefully and use their bait carefully in order to catch a bird. Orcas are incredibly intelligent animals and this shows an aspect of hunting out in the wild. Do Orcas hunt birds in the wild?
Orkid is such a goof, but like a cunning goof lol. I've seen her do stuff like this multiple times. She's def one of my faves, not to mention her corkscrew jumps are breathtaking!
She would of had a very happy long life with her mum, sisters, brothers, aunties, her own babies, there babys. Instead she's in a bath tube with no mum, no brothers or sisters, non of her own babies, no nan. Next time you visit orkid think what it would be like seeing your mum die! Your mum being kidnapped! Forced to have babies! Made to do shows for money they dont need! This is extremely sad you find this happy!

I don't know if you know it or not I had a cat i read that if you feed your pets regularly when they catch their prey the play with it My cat did that He played with the mice he caught This applies to them too If you watch the other video you will see that in some ways they act like a dog Amaya in the other video She solicits touch from her trainer If you know cats and dogs They will use your hands to let you know they want to be petted
It depends on the whale, so I can't give you an exact probability. Experienced adults like Kasatka and Orkid seem to succeed more than younger whales like Kalia and Nakai. However I did see two birds fall victim to Orkid during the days I was there.
I love that Orkid immediately shared it. That's exactly what they do in the wild.
so fascinating to see this behavior...shows how smart and intelligent they really are....totally in love with Orcas =]
yeah. she was so smart to go to the more shadowed part of the tank where she couldn't bee seen that easyly by the birds.

They are so dam cute I can't stand it.
does this count as tool use?
maybe.....its luring with bait so i guess u can say its using a tool
It's more advanced than that. They are thinking about what the bird is thinking.
They can probably see and judge. Orkid sees that the bird does not take the bait so she decides to pretend that she is leaving.
So by your definition are traps tools? You don't physically manipulate those while you use them. Anyways, it did manipulate the fish physically, and then waited for something to try to eat it instead of eat it itself. Manipulated bait, reflected on another individual's desires, and all for fun too.
Once again, proving they earned their title "The Apex Predator". Long live the orca!

They're so clever I love them just not in this environment
