- A pod of killer whales put on quite the show for a group of onlookers during a whale watching expedition.
Video shows a rare sight of the whales swimming and playing off the coast of California, leaving tourists and experts blown away.
“This is not your every day event, It was like a big party,” said Marine Biologist for Monterey Bay Whale Watch, Nancy Black.
Video shows dozens of orcas having the time of their lives.
“It’s pretty incredible to have an encounter like that and they were exuberant and yeah, the best words - they were playful, they were happy," said Black.

These animals are not only beautiful, but also intelligent. We NEED to protect them and stop putting them in gloried fish bowls.
I totally agree with you. One more thing. We need to stop polluting the oceans with plastic and fishing nets. It's killing our large mammals by wrapping them up in the lines and causing a drowning.
Money
Nowhere in America at this current time do we capture orcas and put them in captivity. They stopped that a while ago so what are you talking about?! They don't even breed them anymore 🤨
Thank you captain obvious.
@@OregonCrow So why did you even mention that
Stunning footage!!! They are such beautiful creatures
I saw Orcas attack a humpback whale and her calf. They killed the calf. They are stone cold killers.
The most beautiful and majestic
They are preparing for a war to kill all humans 💪
I live in Santa Cruz, not far from Monterey and have seen orcas only twice, with good binoculars, from the very tip of our wharf. This indeed was a rare sighting!
It’s an awesome block party! So nice to see them happy and playful and to spend some time together. They are such smart animals and it’s wonderful to see them jumping and splashing around. Just like when we get together for a block party with the neighbors. Love hearing stories like this instead of the negative ones!

Certainly a sign of a healthy Pacific Ocean on the California coast line. This is so heartwarming to see and should be celebrated. ♥
Hello
Reminds me of how much fun our boys have when the other neighbor kids come out. They run around everyone’s houses, playing hide and seek, leaving bikes everywhere, chasing each other…and we love it. We are all living, feeling beings, just in different forms. This is pure joy. ❤
Wonderfully stated!
I still remember the first block party I attended!
Celia Cruz has a great song "La Vida es un Carnival"
Basically translating lyrics about how life should be fun and free without war and the suffering caused by others, just enjoyment 😁
@@TragoudistrosMPH thank you! Celia Cruz is right!
Must have been amazing to watch them play for eight hours!
More entertaining than watching golf or tennis I bet.😊
yeah getting paid to do nothing while we make minimum wage isnt that awesome we think we know so much of animals each year
They are not playing. It is a negative reaction to seafloor mapping. They are hunting the human culprits.
@thegreatapple9616 Stfu , should've put yourself in position to be a better earner! Can't stand people like you that blame everyone else for their position in life! I was put through foster homes and subjected to horrible violence as a little kid and it definitely damaged me but when I got on drugs for years, that part was on me! I never blamed people for where I was in life ! Yeah I got clean and work and got off the streets!Stop blaming others for where you are at in life ! Accept responsibility for YOUR CHOICES! Sidenote: Her job and what she does isn't " nothing" and it's important but you'd know that if you weren't miserable and bitter!
@@thegreatapple9616Choke on that 🍎
I think we're seeing the benefits of having protected ocean areas where the food chain remains intact
Would like to see more stories like this.
My experience with wildlife is that there is a pattern sounds behavior and when a pattern behavior that is when we need to take notice and to look more carefully, For instance recently I heard birds change their song it was more frantic and noticed them dive bombing my yard . Went to check and their baby fell from the nest . Got a ladder and put it back. Just a few weeks ago I was standing on my back porch and bird came in front of me making a hectic squawked and when I looked she flew off into my man made pond. went to look and her baby had fallen onto the pond again got the ladder and put the baby back in the nest ( these were different nests on different parts of property . years ago I came home a bird were acting weird ... squawking at me and dive bombing my cellar window over and over and then back to me so I went to my cellar window and her mate or fellow bird was trapped in my cellar . walked into teh house to get th bird out and the other bird who told me there was a bird in my cellar was waiting on teh telephone line right in front of my cellar door. The bird flew out of my cellar to the bird on the wire then they flew of together ... so again when animals behavior pattern changes I think we need to take notice.
And you are the expert and she isn’t? SMH
@@Bibirallie " experts" are only people who regurgitate what they learned and what they learned is not necessarily correct ." experts" get it wrong all the time . I just offered my personal real life experience. My thought process if this unusual behavior then perhaps we should be looking deeper into
@@neoanderson726 yes you're right, when i need a plumber, i should actually be looking for a philosopher! screw those expert plumbers
@@jackalope_hunter oh come on " experts get it wrong all the time" .. years later they go oops You know that science we swore by well sorry we were wrong . And that is all .. they all get paid spreading wrong info as science and they all got paid .
I appreciate your observations, nature is wise and think as a collective instead as separated individuals. Watchimg this video I was wondering about the behavior of the whales with the boats near to Portugal ...
This is how they should be not stuck in a tiny pool
So happy to hear they had a good hunting season. Breaking down dams to increase the supply of salmon has had wonderful effects for the whole ecosystem, and only stands to improve in years to come as more rivers in the Pacific Northwest are freed to flow naturally. Fish stocks will explode, which is good for sea mammals, and thus orcas.
You can swim with the fishes!😂.
Shoot all the beavers 🦫 too that make dams and wear the fur for a Davy Crockett cap!😅
It's too early to tell. A lot of pods have not been lucky.
Where does the water go that are held by the dams? Eventually to the lowest point or sea level.😀
@@Geezerelliactually alot goes to human consumption ❤
@@rachelharmon6489 Fish and water?
Should the beavers be killed for building dams?
I would have loved to witness this in person how amazing that they make up 30 but from different families which is another indicator of intellect! 😍
❤ yes they are mammals… imagine that in prehistoric days whales and dolphins both came onto land and decided to go back to the ocean but they had a choice ! ❤ the Hawaiians say you can tell the health of the planet earth by how many dolphins are swimming in it but seems to be the case with whales too ❤ we still have more sharks because they are scavengers and the ocean needs to be cleaned .. whereas dolphins and whales are true hunters… sharks follow dolphins for scrapes from their bubble nets ❤ also two male orcas have been going on killing sprees for shark liver … mainly great white… wouldnt want to see one in a fight lol … makes me so sad humans hurt them with captivity ❤
They're having fun despite of us polluting their water, we owe em
It's not their water, only if they swim in neutral waters otherwise it belongs to the country by international law.
@@BobMuskFanthey don’t care about no fucking law. Mother Nature doesn’t give af about your made up human bullshit
@@BobMuskFan they live in the ocean, humans don't. therefore their waters, their oceans. is your home in the ocean?
Not too far from the giant garbage patch. Wonder how much that affects their migrations.
Wow. I've always felt Orca's are absolutely beautiful.
Sinking to think the sea world orcas do not have this life 😢
Was just thinking the same 😢
I wondered if they could sense one another. They weren’t that far from the sea world San Diego.
You are so right…. They deserve so much better!!!
They’re mocking humans for what’s to come.
Exactly I take it as a warning of something catastrophic coming to the human race.... Killer Whale ORCA is my favorite animal above all on earth and yes they are amazing but their smartness although it is above most is also terrifying because they are overly intelligent that if they want they can destroy any ship if they really decide to and if there's a goal or valid reason to do so... I studied them for years and what seems as a jolly old time for most for me lots more than that. A warning that is causing them to get together to become a force in a dangerous time that is soon approaching.
I agree 💯 percent 👌
👍💯💯😱
They all got together to plan on how to sink sailboats faster.
Now just think about putting these amazing creatures in small pools at SeaWorld! 😒😭😱😖😤
SeaWorld needs to be shut down. Those shows and the captivity of these animals needs to be outlawed.
No. Then they’ll be miserable.
😢 its a crime and should have penalties.
The whales were seen texting and taking selfies. The pod just wanted to say thank you to the humans for being so cool and laid back.
They also had computers. It wa an I-Pod.
@@ge2623 lol!
🏆
😂😂😂😂 good comment yoo
I wonder if they told each other about messing with ship rutters. 🤔
It’s also a chance for whales to find mates from different groups to add diversity to the bloodline.
They were having a family reunion and socializing amongst one another on how they were sinking personal boats.
They’re beautiful! Too bad we humans can’t get along with one another better.
🙏🏼♥️🙏🏾♥️☮️🕊
Utterly amazing!
Wrong mammal.
I love utters.😊
What a very special moment 🙏I love, orcas😁
What a nice story! Thank you!!!
How stinking cute. I know Nancy was also having the time of her life watching the whales play 😂
What you don't want to see if you are in a sailing yacht.
They have been planning this vacation for months. Clicks can be heard from miles away. They all knew the day and time to be there. Amazing.
This is their world too!
I wonder if they are going to send us the message "So long and thanks for all the fish."
😂😂😂love it!🤣🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Exactly what I was thinking! Time to pull out your guide, put on your electronic thumb, and squish a babelfish in your ear.🚀
During the trifecta of elements about 7 years ago I spotted two Orcas in Half Moon Bay. Thrilling, probably not so much for the baby humpback and her mother who were in the area as well.
Family reunion! 💗
💯👍
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO SEE. JUST AWESOME.
When you're eatin' well you're happy as hell.
Extended Family Reunion?! Lovely to see ❤
Beautiful images!! More please :)
Celebrating all the boats they took down!
Those are off the coast of Spain, probably angry about not being able to find food given how overfished the area is.
😂😂😂😂
Hope they had a good time
So beautiful now leave them alone . Send a link to Sea World so they can see for themselves what a happy Orca looks like.
Incredible to see! Love it
It is graduation season. Maybe it was a big graduation party for younger orcas.
How awesome to catch something so beautiful! ❤
do you think seaworld sees a happy pod of whales like this and thinks "absolutely not"
I love this. I'm crying because of how amazing these animals are. I have nothing but respect for them
Amazing! I’m so glad they are happy 😊
First they attack us, then they entertain us...WHAT'S YOUR END GAME KILLER WHALES?!?!
The killer whales probably do that everyday but this time ppl saw it 😱
awww they had a whole block party!🎉
People are saying that killer whales have been exhibiting different behaviors the past few years. There's something strange in the atmosphere going on that we don't know about but these whales and other animals do
It's El Nino cycle!
It's God's gift of replenishment for the wicked and the righteous...for all to enjoy so we are not without excuse!

They were on their way to the Captain Ahab raid. On a serious note Orcas are so fascinating.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
This is sooo wholesome 🥹♥️
Must have a lot of seals in the area...
Think how many boats a pod that big could sink they squadding up lol cool video
Wow. Beautiful and Mesmerizing to watch the orcas.
I wonder what they were celebrating 🥰
Only if us humans can get along like this!! I wish I could’ve joined them😂🤷🏽♂️🤞🏽🤞🏽
Dude orcas are bloodthirsty psychopaths lol idk what you're talking about?
why are we so surprised by behaviors we've never seen in animals? We're not the only feeling, social creatures on the planet!
Orcas like dolphins are extremely intelligent . Way more than a dog
Gorgeous babies ❤❤❤
Beautiful they are like us they love socialise and play ❤❤
Is it me or are Orcas behaving in rare ways lately around the world.
What could this mean?
They are so beautiful! I’ll be glad when humans leave them alone.
aw i was just in monterey too! i'm sad i missed this
Awe!! I love it!🐳🌊
Rare maybe that so many were together but Orcas off the coast is not rare.
Remember back in the 80s they were everywhere. Use to watch them catch seals up along Malibu in the kelp beds.
Such an elegant creature. They are beautiful.❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I seen the whale today😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 0:15
They having school excursions 😂😂❤❤
Absolutely astonishing. 😍😍😍
They were getting ready for July 4.
Amazing. I’d love to see them.
The End times
Stunning for sure, but a vertical video!
Incredibly rare orca behavioral footage ruined by person's refusal to hold their phone sideways for video recording
the last news show talked about rules for rescuing the baby seal from the inlet there, but he doesn't 'qualify' for sea world or other rescue possibilities. ..wondering if there's something going on with Sea World, Death at Sea World and the whole captivity thing. remembering the old documentary by Rattle The Cage Productions: Slave to Human Entertainment- Lolita. Made a PETA member out of me back then. Still mostly vegan aside from the occasional yogurt. (Miami Sea World, lots of sadness with the Orca still living in captivity after so many years. longest survivor of such a large mammal in such a small tank, per se) Wondering with the 'experts' up in Puget Sound Washington/Seattle have to say, too.
I don’t even know anyone that goes to Seaworld anymore, I know as a blind guy myself, I will be so freaking bored there lol
I've been hearing a lot about orcas lately
It was probably a family reunion
Thank god for local news, I haven’t learned anything from the “major news networks” in over a decade 😂
Remember, they're in the water off the coast.... don't think you can just safely swim anywhere you want!!!
There is no record of a wild Orca ever killing a human.
@@MrSlanderer it's a territory thing... availability of their prey.... humans getting in the way... it is their ocean after all😊... you don't see them wandering around on land...
This must be the big gatherings for bringing all families together so that youngsters can find their dates and spouses!
Kids what'd you do over the summer?
Family reunion
0:30 This one was clearly checking out the drone! 😄
They say let's make us up a holiday the humans make up holidays all the time 😂
So beautiful ❤
They’re declaring war. People: look how cute.
Like a wonderful family reunion beautiful 💯💙💙💙
Oh hell fucking no that's scary as fuck nope that gives me anxiety
Beautiful
I saw something similar I saw 30 orcas traveling down south to Mexico
They’re planning for their next hunt “humans on ships”😂😂😂.
It's a "Play date" for the orcas
Happy to be Alive and Free. ❤
Awesome to witness this, even on video!!
Sounds like a family reunion
No orca should be held in captivity to entertain humans when this is what their life is supposed to be like.
what a mighty beast
