I want to go on a boat trip with this guy
IcOniC_VOiD lol same but I go on a boat every year with my grandpa
But this guy is the bomb
orcas be like "land dwellers are taking too much fish, we need to cull our competitors the dolphins."
PyroRomancR 😂😂😂😂😂
orca ARE dolphins!
Killer whales equal the ocean out, them, sharks and disease
Damn... that’s sad
It is actually rather quite alarming the behavior of orcas, going after the other mammals, but most explicitly the speed whales, which are the only beings on our planet capable of keeping the giant cephalopods in check.
Very alarming times...
Mate, there's a bay in Donegal in Ireland called 'The Bloody Foreland' famously a pack of orcas met a shoal of dolphins and wrecked them till the beach turned red. Name has been there for longer than my lifetime. Don't think this is as new a phenomena as implied.
new to Cape Town
Yes there's a poster whose family have been fisherman in False bay going back over 50 years and he says they've always hunted dolphin there. This guy is talking cobblers. Middle class person discovers something and it's "new" 🙄
Orcas hunt dolphins in different parts of the world, its not a recent phenomena. Those pods that hunt whales and sea lions, can also hunt dolphins.
Just clicked on this episode, turns out I literally live like 30 minutes away from there
same lol
But Orca aren't whales, they are dolphins, too.
Discrepancy aside, False Bay has some beautiful vineyards and excellent wines.
D Hawthorne actually they are whales just cuz they have a fin doesn’t mean they are dolphins
D Hawthorne no shit

From a taxonomy standpoint they are, in fact, dolphins. Whales have dorsal fins as well, making it an invalid way of telling them apart. All whales, dolphins and porpoise are a part of the Cetacean Family. The main difference is the number of blow holes and the presence of baleen or teeth for feeding. Whales have two blowholes and baleen while dolphins have a single blow hole and teeth. Porpoise closely resemble dolphins but have smaller beaks, triangular dorsal fins (as opposed to hooded), flat teeth (as opposed to round), have a higher percentage of body fat and are significantly less chatty.
D Hawthorne oh ok I just assumed they were just whales thanks
Orcas are part of the dolphins family, which are a branch of the tooted whales. But they’re still whales. It’s very easy to verify on any legit website or textbook. The number of blow holes, their size or the presence of baleens are by no means the criteria to be a whale.
orca have hunted dolphins for 100s of years, and its incredibly rare to see any dolphin pod 10.000 strong. nothing new about it.
Orcas are amazing animals. Would love to see one up close
“Every time I see a splash , I get excited “🌚
You mean you splash when you get excited
You will be remembered dolphin D:

@@kirstylou536 READ MY COMMENTS TO KATELYN AS IT IS THE SAME TO YOU
South African seas continue to amaze.
Orcas formation is incredible
Breathtaking!!
Dolphins: swimming happily
Orcas: I'm bouta end this man's whole career
Ah thank u FOR THIS AMAZING VIDEO. YOU ARE GREAT !!!!!!!!
1:58 random bird passing by
Amazing
Magnificent animals.
It’s so nice to see that their Dorsey fins aren’t flopped
That only happens in captivity
Tqu 4 the video
Majestic
I just love simons town
His passion for it is awesome! Even wants to miss his daughters wedding for it 😂
I'm going to miss my daughter's wedding to watch dolphins get eaten /🤨 I-
Idk why I'm so fascinated by these sadistic creatures, but I guess it's because I grew up going to Sea world and watching these majestic animals show how intelligent and beautiful they are, up close. Seals are by far my favorite animal so it's really hard to watch orcas hunt and kill them, but I'm still amazed at it and love to see how brilliant they are. Another part of me is blown away by how they are called whales, but are really a porpoise, yet they will hunt and eat other porpoise and even the ultimate predatory fish, sharks(or great whites and tigers)
They're dolphins, not porpoises. Porpoises are generally a lot smaller than dolphins, and the orca is the largest member of the dolphin family.
Find it hard to believe this guy thinks dolphins just came on the menu for Orcas LOL.. more like 30k years bud
I bet that was amazing to behold!!!
Russell Anderson O
Beautiful
I wonder if the Orcas use Dave's boat to help find the Dolphins every April - June. Highly intelligent Asymmetric thinking creatures.
Skimming the boats maybe a way of saying "thanks" (see you tomorrow) or "good by" (see you next season).
And orcas hunting dolphins or other creatures (otters, deer, seals, etc.) are not to unusual.
Orca really are the Ted bundy of the ocean; they're a cold, calculated killer, but some people are like "they're so good looking and charismatic though"
they are!!!
When is this movie coming out😂
Wow what kind of camera do they use to capture these 3D-like shots
Reminds me of a “documentary” I watched about a whale watching group that saw killer whales hunting a humpback, the entire documentary made the event sound like a tragedy.
Emily Calkins the white rich lady yelled “call the coastguard “ lmfao i loved it
@@samsalamander8147 that would have been me. 😂
Sorry daughter, I know your wedding day is special but, this is science... Lol.. I would have beat the life out my father if he didn't show up to my wedding with that excuse.. Lol
Wait where in the video did he say that?
Good looking finders
Swnsasy _ ???
Swnsasy you should understand. Weddings arent as special lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yo wow bro 😱😱
Orcas been my favorite animals since Free Willy 💯
Killer whales scare the shit outta me but I admire how powerful and majestic they are. Such smart and powerful animals but I’d shit myself even being on a boat next to them
Love it! Are you taking reservations?
I stayed at a missionary station in Fish Hoek which is on False Bay.
I was born in False Bay hospital😗
Why don't the orcas just eat each other? They are basically doing the same when eating dolphins since orcas are part of the dolphin family and not whales like their name says. It's weird to think that in the ocean there's a wide variety of things to eat that aren't of the same species yet these orcas seem to be a bit cannibalistic and have a small menu of things that they eat.
Slack city 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 omfg thank you for making me laugh
Bruh that's like saying "wHy dOnT sHaRkS eAt EaCh oThEr cAuSe tHeY r bAsIcaLLy eAtIng eAch OtHer CaUsE thEy aRe fiSh
@@ryandxminguez Sharks do eat other sharks.
Orca's have a large menu of things they eat. Seals, Dugongs, Birds, Dolphins, Shark livers, Squid, Turtles, Rays, Fish and least to mention Whales, deriving from their notorious nickname. They'll actually eat just about anything, aside from Humans, at least when we humans don't put them inside of fishbowls. Their nickname, if not for the Spanish sailors who witnessed them killing whales, should really have been Sea Wolves, considering the similarities. Super intelligent cetaceans who do not view themselves on the same side of the food chain as the striped dolphin.
They're highly intelligent social creatures who form bonds with each other
WoW
Lol the wallpaper looks nice 😭
I hate seeing this!😫. I can remember the countless videos that I watched where Dolphins are the one s that guide his humans from sharks or other apex predators in the sea. Now this!!😫. I hope Dolphins don't go extinct😴😖
The orcas gotta eat, and humans are the cause of dolphins being endangered, not orcas.
Besides, orcas are literally giant dolphins, and they face the same problems, one that HUMANS caused.
Watching 29./02./2020
Considering that Orcas ARE dolphins....this is like cannibalism
No its not. Killer Whales and Common Dolphins are both in the same family, but they are NOT the same species. Cannibalism is when an animal eats its own kind. I.E. lions, chimps, preying mantis, ect. Killer Whales simply dont engage in such a taboo thing.
That's not how that works my guy
I thought killer whales have always hunted dolphins...
They have. They've always done it here in False Bay too.
R.I.P dolphin
Okay what is going on with Orcas?! They’re exhibiting behaviors and traits that weren’t heard of (for the most part from what I can tell) prior to the mid-90’s!
You have completely odd behaviors in pods that are no where near each other yet the oddities continue!
First was the initial sighting in mid 90’s when the female orca killed the first white shark. That’s now been repeated multiple times.
You have orcas from/around Russia where white orcas are surviving well into adult lives on top of the number of them increasing!
Then there’s the duo ‘Port & Starboard’ who are in the wild yet both have malformed/floppy dorsal fins.
Now there’s this where orca are putting dolphins on the menu using some seriously impressive moves!
What the hell is causing all of this?!
Nothing is causing this. Orcas have always been intelligent apex predators and they adapt to survive. The media sells you the idea of animals being all kind and gentle when in reality is the opposite, and people felt for it. The same happens with dolphins, panda bears and koalas.
Killer whales are extremely efficient killers and hunters. They love to hunt and attack in pods. They are extremely intelligent hunters just like the dolphins are. It’s crazy how people think Orcas are these calm, loving, peaceful whales and they are the opposite. They are prolific hunters. For Great Whites to fear you it says a lot about your reputation. And dolphins are so cute. I hate watching them be attacked but hey it’s nature. Us humans kills a lot more animals for food purposes and sometimes for other purposes which are pretty stupid like cloths and oil. Anyways blessings to all. Enjoy these documentaries which are awesome.
The Kalk Bay fisherman and trek fisherman have witnessed this throughout the fishing periods in False Bay.
Strand fisher and trek fisherman have seen these pods of killer whales coming in from Hangkilp and moving off the deep of Wolgat, chasing dolphins.
The older fisherman talk about pods of killer whales up to 50 strong.
My uncle Jeff, a fisherman who grew up in Kalk Bay, witnessed these orca pods, when he was only 19 years of age.
He was a sardine pursain mate on the boats in False Bay, Hout Bay, Stompneus Baai, Walvis Bay and Las Palmas, Canary Island.
He left the purseiners and started trekking in False Bay, from Macassar to Muizenberg.
Oumatjies are his trek boats.
I remember as a young boy of about 10 or 11 years, riding back from trekking at Macassar, with the crew and my brother, and my uncle stopping the Ford and trek boat in the high slopes of Wolf Gat, and everyone got out to watch a pod of killer whales chasing the shoal of dolphins, in the deep and heading westly.
A lot of these trek fisherman, 20 December 2021, are still alive today.
And the United Nations and Climate Change Activists, keep saying listing to the information of the Elders.
If you truly want to gain insight into the history of movement of knowledge of False Bag, they heed the words of the United Nations and Climate Change Activists, and seek the wisdom from the Elders.
Amazing, Douglas, thanks for your insight. I definitely agree in the value of the of elders' knowledge. I would love to hear more about the change these fishers have have lived through and witnessed in False Bay.
Thank you for posting! So interesting. So are you saying that Orca hunting dolphin is NOT a new phenomenon,as this man is claiming? I'd love to know what your uncles think about his claim!
I thought orcas and dolphins are in the same family
@Martin Mooney thanks for the info👍
This is what happens when the seas are over fished... Remember when Orca's were best known for hunting Tuna? Or Salmon? We're losing our sea at an alarming rate.
StarWonder nigga orcas have cultures that hunt different prey in different areas
Im pretty sure orcas hunt different prey depending on their location. Some hunt seals, some hunt salmons while others go for whales, sharks, even dolphins. They're the apex predators of the ocean so it's an open menu, really
Zale Sow 😂😂😂😂 omg!!! I smoked a bowl and I’m high as fuck and your fucking joke has me laughing. Omg thank you
The Orca probably originally came to hunt Great White sharks in false bay, but took advantage of the dolphins, too. Probably since we're depleting fish numbers they've been forced to find new prey.
Not entirely true, the white shark killing is MOSTLY done by two Orcas (Port and Starboard).
Orcas are the most badass mammals of the sea
Why don't you have like 1,898 likes on this I mean you should have more likes you have Like thousands of Subs why don't people like this????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched this full doc on TV and couldn't understand why does the skipper insist on steering his boat through the pod, over dolphins. Why not give nature some space??
#Fukushima
they all went and got one the dolphins should have went at one at a time
Nooooo Poor 🐬
Save the dolphins. Lock those "killers" up in fish prison (aquariums). 😂😂😂
Save the dolphins from the Japanese
I’m sure Orcas hunting dolphins is nothing new. It’s just the fact that we are what is new on this earth! Orcas have been here a lot longer than us and have probably done many things we still don’t know about.
I really hate orcas when they attack poor dolphins
By that logic you should hate the dolphins when they attack poor fishies
And dolphins attacked porpoises
Bet you love the Japanese
I’m confused is the orca trying to hurt the dolphins or playing it lost!!
They are trying to eat the dolphins.
I. Love ORCAS. ❤️ ❤️💛💛
It's possible that theyve only now learned how to hunt Dolphins..What!!! How long have they've been the ocean?
They've hunted dolphins forever this isn't a new behavior
6:42. My boi u are a dolphin biologist not a whale biologist. Cuz killer whales are friggen dolphins.
Elijah Hanson But dolpins are whales, are they not ;)?
Chaptor
no, no they aren't. dolphins are a completely separate species as far as I know. I mean they have evolutionary similarities but also great differences. Anyways my point is a whale biologist wouldn't study orcas unless they were also a dolphin biologist
Elijah Hanson You’re using the word species here. A species would be something like a common dolphin or a bottlenose dolphin. They do however happen to be part of the same natural clade, cetacea. Upon further inspection of the matter it appears that people are in fact split on the question at hand, just like the two of us. I presume the sources of which we learned these facts from were varied in their belief of wether dolphins were whales or not. As a conclusion I believe that I can say with relative certainty that neither of us are completely correct or right. Thoughts?
Elijah Hanson. Dolphins are whales mate.
Well it is easy to verify by looking it up at basically any serious scientific page (or even Wikipedia). Dolphins (including orcas) belong to a parvorder of cetaceans called toothed whales which also includes beaked whales and sperm whales for example. So, yes, orcas are undoubtly toothed whales, therefore they're whales.
How can we follow Dave
Poor Dolphins
As a daughter who doesn't have the choice of having her father at her wedding due to him dying last year, I find his statement completely repulsive. I would give anything for my dad to be there. Shame on him.
Shame on your mom for giving birth to you xD
He said his family understands tho. And it's not like she's never gonna see him. Some people are so close minded smh
Not new, someone needs to tell them about a place called British Columbia- Orcas have been hunting other dolphins there for decades
Everyone has to eat
HQ CO 3rd Med Battalion FMF PAC not dolphins tho
Why do the dolphins stick around
What!!!
Dolphins and other type of whales play together but besides killer whales , i guess killer whales are assholes of the sea
Dolphins killed and harrased porpoises too
Who else saw the shark at 4oo
dolphins eating dolphins?
And? Sharks eat other sharks. They also eat fish despite being fish
This is the way to view Orca.... not at SeaWorld
You should download hungry shark world
Orcas are speciest
Falls or false bay idk
Mhm
Las orcas transeúntes son malvadas.🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
Wait... I thought Orcas were dolphins...
And sharks are fish, that doesn't stop them from eating other fish
Why is it called false bay?
"A marine biologist specialized in whale! so is dr George Costanza who is researching on how to lower thier cholosterol levels..
6:22 he just flipped us off
So this guy takes pictures on his iPad that has video.......
How? Why? Uh it's food..
Killer whales are dolphins
So this is dolphins killing dolphins??
And sharks eating fish would be fish eating fish. What's your point?
Poor dolphins. Very new? Absolutely not
Humans overfishing caused this?
Porque los japoneses no las cazan.🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
It's not good to kill your own cousins
What about sharks I hate them but please not dolphins
Humans have such a weird way of thinking lmao
Attacking dolphins? Oh no, the stuff of nightmares. I know this is nature, but I less and less like Orcas.
An amazing captain but a terrible father
Thanks to overfishing they kill their own kind?? This is sick. But they are not called killer whales for nothing. I hope humans are not on their food plan soon
They're not the same species my guy. That's like saying sharks are sick for eating other fish even tho they themselves are fish.
@@trumpflavourednugget9325 Orca's belong to the dolphin family.Do your reasearch!!! The biggest dolphin's. And all orca's don't eat marine mammal's, only transient orca's. And I am a female+ no need to be rude and arrogant when you are wrong, too.
@@horse-lover68 I never said Orcas aren't dolphins, maybe learn how to read. My point is they're a different type of dolphin. Just as sharks are a different type of fish. Also cannibalism is actually quite common in nature so even if this was cannibalism it wouldn't be unorthodox.
@@trumpflavourednugget9325 And I never wrote something about cannibalism.You should learn how to read!!🖕🖕
Better look for americans hunting canadians🤔
That's so messed up to not walk his daughter down the aisle die some orcas chasing dolphins. She only gets married 1x those orcas with be back next year. I would be PISSED IF MY DAD DID THIS AND ACTUALLY SAID IT.
