Incredible moment killer whales brush past swimmer in New Zealand
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- A swimmer's dip in the ocean took a heartwarming turn as a pair of killer whales separated from their pod to greet him in the Bay of Plenty near Bowentown in New Zealand. Incredible underwater footage shows one of the apex predators suddenly appear from the water and stare right at the swimmer before quickly slipping away and bringing another orca. The seasoned swimmer said the encounter was 'the best day' and something he'd 'dreamed about'.

I like how he brushes past you and you grab that wall of seaweed and think it's over. Then he brings his friend over and they just stare at you like you're an alien 😂
They’ve probably never seen a human up close before. So come to think of it…
The scariest thing was when he went back underwater to find two of them staring at him!
yes
They are probably thinking "what a strange creature"
@@majora919 A lot of humans would do worse.
If there's orcas near you like this, at least you know you're safe from sharks.
Facts the one thing in the ocean that even sharks fear is on your side lol
Exactly. I love that orcas eviscerate sharks and throw away the corpse but they don't do it to us when they EASILY could
Rather a shark than an orca. A shark won’t play with its food.
yeah, if they're in the water, nothing else is
@@riamriam6758 who cares if an orca plays with its food? they dont eat/attack humans ;P (other than seaworld but thats completely different)
I love how they're both just staring at him like wtf is that? 🤣
😂😂😂😂
More like does it taste like seal?
😂
They know what we are. They also know what we’re capable of.
Hey Brian you know how I told you about weird moving seals?
Well this is it, don't it just smile.
I love how he was so curious he brought back a friend just to be like "dude look what i found- wtf is that-"
😂😂👽
Ja. Ja. Ja..
Dude, I think he crapped his pants.
Ja nemlig ☺️
Yeah sure, or they were just about to figure out how to eat it.
The way they stared at him... That's curiosity in it's most natural form, they are way smarter than we give them credit for
They’re way smarter than us 🐳💕
We have long known just how intelligent they are. They get tremendous credit, believe me I was one of the ones that worked with them studying their languages. Orcas from different parts of the world speak different dialects. If one orca from Iceland meets an orca from Washington state suppose…. they cannot communicate through their language. They also have a “signature whistle” when they meet one another. They first speak their name, which we call a “signature whistle.” All dolphins do that.
@@Querencia7779 That’s SO AWESOME you got to study them 👍😍😍😍
@@LittleLulubee it was such an honor. I love them with all my heart; all cetaceans. They’re very, very special, and deeply loving. Dolphins are the only animal in the wild, who love us for our own sake.. Throughout history, they have helped and aided people, just because of their compassion for us. How BLESSED we are. In Australia, there’s a beach called ‘Monkey Mia,’ dolphins come in to the shallow waters, simply to gently interact with people. Incredible!
@@Querencia7779 Awwww, so sweet!! I ADORE them all, too!!! 🥲💖💕💕🐬
I know they’re mostly chill with humans, but it must be a wild feeling. Knowing that it’s not up to you whether you continue living or not, it’s up to them.
dude seriously-totally up to them
They frequently "play" with other animals to death. Dolphins, sea otters, sharks, whatever.
So even if they're not interested in eating this guy, they still might be like "hey let's see what happens if we drag him 100 ft straight down, I wonder how quick he can swim back to the surface".
@@scottcantdance804 There's never been a recorded orca attack on a human being in the wild. Never.
@@lethalchocobo1886they don’t leave evidence

They were like, "Hah! He can barely hold his breath, let's get outta here..."

This comment 🤣🙌
I know they almost never attack humans, but still, being in the presence of that overwhelming power, knowing if it chose to it could take your life at any moment, my heart would be pounding out of my chest.
they could probably hear that lol
Not only take your life, take your life in a very painful way.
There are no recorded attacks from orcas to humans in the wild. The only times that they've killed humans are in zoos. Also same with cheetahs as far as I know.
@@L.Ron.Hoyabembe Well, when they eat a human alone in the water, who exactly is left to record it?
@@OneTequilaTwoTequila The same could be said for alligator, crocodile, and shark attacks but you still hear about those.
This is an incredible video. You can literally see how they observe and think….
Yeah, they were thinking, “he’s too lean and still in the wrapper, yuck.”
@@28th_St_Air Most of them are just like us, Tilikum known as one of the 'Shamu" of seaworld only killed because he got put in a psychotic rage due to poor living conditions (He could barely even turn where they kept him) He killed 3 people because of those corporates wanting him for breeding, there are no wild Orca attacks that lead to death, at least as we know it.
@@FunSkipping yes I agree with you. I’m not sure if you are old enough to know what the Far Side comic is/was but, if you do, then you will get the humor I was attempting.
@@FunSkipping yeah that was awful
@@FunSkipping I mean they do eat animals his size in the wild lol
They sounded like they were trying to communicate with you. Such fascinating animals!
They were
Yeah it did kinda seem like that
But then it looked like once they realized he was too dumb to understand they said "ok let's bounce" lol
Gorilla Pimp, makes sense. They’re not too dense to understand their language didn’t compute with the diver.
@@GORILLA_PIMP 😂😂
It's probably them two talking about what to do with this swimming monkey😂
0:16 "See? I told you I saw one"
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂Cuteeeee
You are something else!!😂😂😂😂
The fact that this apex predator tried to converse with a different species rather than attack him and respect personal space should be a wake up call on how to treat others.
100% this.
Most humans treat orcas well. Don't blame all of us for the actions of a few.
We humans have a LOOOONG way to go
@@booksandboating You mean by calling them killer whale or by support zoos that keep them? I am highly questioning your comment.
@@AliasSchmalias It's a perfectly fitting name. They are not called "killer whales" because of how they treat humans. I don't think there's a documented case of a killer whale ever killing humans in the wild. They get their name from being apex predators and due to observed behaviors in the wild that aren't typical of other whales. They even hunt and eat other apex predators, such as great white sharks. Despite their activity in the wild, they actually aren't even stereotyped as being potentially dangerous and unpredictable. To the contrary, they're stereotyped as being friendly and docile - hence the popularity of Sea World-type killer whale shows and people actually wanting to interact with them. People think they're just oversized aquarium fish. Many people are surprised to learn about their hunting habits in the wild. I remember being horrified as a child the first time I saw them on TV hunting down penguins and seals in the wild on one of those nature shows. At the time, I had no idea they did that. Society doesn't really focus on that side of them.
Killer whales are not endangered because they have bad reputations. They don't. These days, humans aren't directly harming/killing off killer whales. They're being *indirectly* harmed by humans via our activities that eliminate their prey (global warming depleting populations of seals, penguins, etc.), and polluting their waters. Their name is a silly thing to focus on; it's not what's harming them.
It’s almost like they are completely fine when you don’t kidnap them and force them to do tricks and live in a pool for 20 years
Exactly!
Who in there right mind would catch a wild Orca and force it to do tricks? lmao
@@yankee1882 Seaworld
@@yankee1882 Seaworld
But Shamu only did live 6 years in captivity not 20
So she must still fine ?? (back then)
They tried to talk to the man but realized hes not as sophisticated
Ain’t that the truth 😂

After reading this, i rewatched it, and thats all I can imagine them doing and thinking now
The way they look at this swimmer is so different than how a wolf or a cat would stare at a human being. They're so curiously and intelligently observing him it's amazing.
You don't anything about cats didn't you?
Of course, they're not smart as orcas but it's easy to recognize an emotion as faces they done when they look at us.
But imagine if an orca appeared on land, now that might change the cats expression
Wolves do not attack or hunt people either. They can be very curious about people but normally just do everything they can to avoid humans.
Most cats see several humans everyday, goofy comparison
there are wondering if he got lost somewhere xD
One of the most amazing videos I have seen is when a very young Orca swims up to a boat with a piece of seaweed in its mouth to give to the occupants of the boat. They realize it is trying to communicate with them so they follow the Orca and eventually come across the little fella's Mother trapped in some ropes. They then call for help and the Mother Orca is freed it's amazing just how intelligent these creatures are. They are on an entirely different level from most other animals on Earth.

They're looking at him like do we need to help you or are you able to swim on your own
@Matt C probably, but they know better
Yeah that or they were just amazed they probably never saw a human before. They clearly knew he wasn’t food.
@Matt C Orca have a sonar that rivals that if a nuclear submarine. Well before these Orca were in visual range of this human they already knew he wasn’t food or a threat. These Orca were genuinely curious. In fact, I don’t think they were curious to what this human was but more so why is he in this particular area. The lead Orca actually looks down at the man’s feet to (what I believe) to determine if the human was stuck or something. This brief interaction speaks VOLUMES to both the intelligence of this super apex predator but also its curiosity and liking for humans. Never was this man in danger from these Orca
@@exhumorr I’m curious 🙋🏾♀️ why don’t they see us as food? Do we taste bad or something or we just look strange..
@@iwuvpiesgaming9164Well they are very intelligent animals and work and live in pods and they are related to dolphins and dolphins are one of the smartest animals on earth.
Orcas mostly eat Seal Lions fish and even other dolphins whales and sharks too But with humans they can tell by our smell or based on how we look at we aren’t food.
I don’t think anyone really knows how they know we aren’t food they just know we aren’t.
I have never heard of orcas killing and eating a human.
I do know that a trainer at sea world died from one of the orcas while practicing for one of the tricks but it was a tragic accident which is why they shouldn’t be in captivity.
They are one of my favorite animals though! 🖤🤍🙂
They looked at the swimmer like people look to animals, it's fascinating
So true
@@garyb2271 Well, they are massively more intelligent than your average dog or cat. In fact they are smarter than apes. They truly are looking at the diver in genuine curiosity
Terrifying when they appeared completely still and stared at him. Many people probably wouldn’t find that scary, but I thought it was bone-chilling.
There are a lot of dumb people in the comment section talking about how they are just curious and are beautiful creatures.
The only thing that saves a human in these situation is that they do not carry enough fat to be worth a meal but who knows what could really go down.
My thoughts exactly. They might have a reputation for not eating our kind despite being given every opportunity, but that’s not necessarily because of their undeniable intelligence or any form of kinship.
Still, I am thankful that we are not on the menu.
@@bighands69 you’ve got it right
Curiosity and boredom are incredibly strong emotions among intelligent animals, examples are jumping spiders, orcas, dolphins, corvids, whales, rats, primates, squirells and octopusses, moray eels, all of those examples vary in size, behavior, diet, habitat, social structure, but still display an overwhelming amount of cutiosity in dangerous situations and boredom in vice versa.
if we were on their menu they’d be nearly extinct. A sad fact about humanity.
*sees swimmer*
*brings friend*
*stares*
*refuses to elaborate*

What an once in a lifetime moment. Orcas are such beautiful and intelligent mammals, and so graceful.
Once in a million lifetimes...
They're also psychopaths like Ted Bundy so ....
@@SyNcLife Wishful thinking on my part.😔
And killers
Until they drown your ass like the did to that hot trainer from SeaWorld.
We know that Orca don't attack people. But that's what you know in your head.
If that happened to me, I suspect my sphincter would have a different reaction
@Brandon Hitt Sure. To be more precise. As I understand it, there is no recorded case of an Orca attacking a human in the wild.
Absolutely. I was approached by an inquisitive Orca whilst free diving. I absolutely knew they aren’t a threat and yet I absolutely crapped myself.
@@hudsonquay Very cool to hear that! I guess it was one of those moments that became awesome, a few minutes after the Orca swam away?
They know what we are...they dont make mistakes....we are not on the menu because we are a high thinking mammal....they know us somehow...
@@kenweis2291 You might be right. I'm convinced the dolphins are smarter than we think. And the Orca is the largest member of the dolphin family, and has the biggest brain
I would be terrified at first, but at the same time would love an opportunity like that.
Terrified, but amazed at the same time!!!!!!!!
Famous last words… 😅
@@vondahe what a beautiful creature, gonna touch it just onc……….(dead)
@@FootageFactory I agree it’s beautiful but so are many other deadly animals.
@@vondahe they don't kill people accept at Sea World
Orca: we’re not gonna eat you
Other orca: speak for yourself Mike.
Mike😂.
Humans are friends, not food!
Orca do not pose as any threat to humans
Normally when Orca are checking a human out the continually swim around them. These two were straight up staring at the guy. Makes me wonder if they were trying to determine if he was stuck in the seaweed or something.
Maybe hey're certainly capable of that thought
It is not very complex, the area where the guy were behind the rocks is pretty difficult for the Orcas to swim around them
They are determining if it’s food. The first one went to get his mate , they hunt and kill in numbers….
@@leonleon2276 they don't hunt and kill humans at all.. Ever. They are very gentle, smart and emotionally creatures especially towards humans.. Just look at the encounters all over youtube..
@@whitegoodman7465 never said they did. I said they was determining if it was. Clearly they don’t like human so they swam away
I just love how you absolutely know you're being looked at by another sentient creature that could kill you, but doesn't...
Sharks won't even eat a person unless they're starving. Same thing applies with orcas.
@@henrry889 Except no, Orcas even when starving to death will never stray from the diet they were taught by their grandmas. Example: Southern Resident Orcas have been starving for decades, population down to 74 due to lack of Salmon (their primary food), many starved to death in recent years, yet they swim by hundreds of kayakers in the Seattle area on a weekly basis peacefully without incident. Worldwide, never been a case where an Orca population changed their diet.
@@redwoodcactusnorthwest5219 I thought an Orca would eat a human if they were starving since they eat almost everything, but you are probably right.
@@henrry889 That’s a misconception. Orcas are the pickiest eaters of the animal kingdom. Each pod has their own culture, hunting techniques taught my the matriarch. They are not instinct, “open your mouth and hope for the best” animals like sharks. Hunting seals by beaching - unique to one specific family in Argentina. Hunting herring with the Humpback whales - unique to Norway. Hunting by creating a bow wave - unique to Antarctica pod. Hunting Tuna - unique to Iberia. Hunting great whites livers - unique to South Africa, California. As a whole, Orcas eat many things, but for each individual pod it’s as picky and specific as it gets. For this reason it is not shocking that no orca has harmed a human in the wild. Gray whales have killed people before (out of self defense, can’t blame them), seals have killed people, but in the wild, not Orcas, even the starving ones in the Pacific Northwest who swim by paddle boarders everyday in Washington during certain months.
@@redwoodcactusnorthwest5219 Sounds much like Dolphins. the part where they will never attack humans. Makes sense since they are in the same family tree.
Several thousand kilos of pure death. One of the most cunning and clever predators on the planet. Yet they look at us with intense curiosity and treat us with respect, almost as if they see us as equals.
There's less of us (mass-wise) but we're no less deadly. I'd say we're equals
Equals? Not in the water. But intelligence was in their environment I would say we're their equal.
@@marcopohl3236 We are far far more deadly than killer whales. If we wanted to we could extinct the entire species. Thankfully We dont allow things like that anymore.
@@rxonmymind8362 The United States SSN-23 nuclear submarine can move at up to 35 knots, and can launch simultaneously 8 MK 48 guided torpedos. I'd like to see any Orca pod try to match the might of the US Navy in open combat.
@@KiloShank collectively we are incredibly intelligent, alone we are also but wouldn't be able to achieve even near this feat
The most feared animal in the ocean just stared down the most feared animal on land lol
Tbf humans are most feared in the ocean also, and I ain't even talking about how one ping off a military submarine can literally vibrate these predators to death, am talking about all the fishing, and human robots underwater that hunt and study them.
@@SheksgemWhepdo agreed
I bet they don’t stare down submarines
My heart would be racing. It's so beautiful how peaceful and gentle they are when it comes to human interactions truly amazing creatures
My heart would be racing too....those animals, while majestic, are absolutely capable of killing you instantly and you'd be powerless to do anything. Nature in that form is best admired from a distance, where our impact on them is minimized and they can do their thing in peace.
@@fcon2123 just bc they're capable doesn't mean that will choose to do so but yes if they did want to eat you they easily could
They can literally hear your heart increase and race along with your increased rapid breathing. Those orca probably left because they thought that disbelieving human was freaking out
@@jonathonbennett8352 they wouldn’t eat a human, probably wouldn’t even bite one. What they could and would do is throw you 80 feet into the air out of the water with their tail, and you would break every bone in your body upon impact with the water on the way back down

It is amazing how they both paused with almost an inquisitive look as to say Hey what are you doing down here. Must have been such a moment of sheer adrenaline being face to face with such majestic animals.
I know they don't attack humans in the wild (for whatever reason), are super intelligent, and I love them and part of me would love to have a close encounter with them in the wild like this. However, I can't help but feel like I would still be absolutely terrified if this was me lol. There's this huge apex killer that could effortlessly kill you in seconds if he wanted to, and he's stopped right in front of you, staring at you, in his element. I don't think what I know logically could keep my natural fear at bay.
the reason that they don’t attack us is because of their intelligence. They know that we aren’t very nutritious for them
We have no reports of them killing people in the wild. If they're hungry enough they aren't going to leave scraps.
For whatever reason??? They are more intelligent then you
@@calikush4 I'm not sure how you read my comment, but I feel like you must have misunderstood something, somewhere, if my comment makes you upset, since I said nothing negative about orcas (quite the contrary), in any way, and also made it clear I really like them.
Also, a living being having high intelligence is not something that automatically means they will never attack other intelligent beings, and it's not something to be taken for granted as a matter of course. After all, there are plenty of evil humans that kill everything, including other humans, just for fun. And orcas are well known to play with their food, treating seals like tennis balls just for fun. And yet, as far as we know, they never attack humans in the wild. It's pretty amazing.
Anyway, my point in my original post was just that even though I logically know that if I encounter an orca in the wild, it is not likely to attack me, and even though part of me would love such an encounter, I would still not be able to help being naturally afraid of such a large apex predator getting so close to me in its element (and I would be out of MY element). That's all.
@@calikush4 I see they are more intelligent "than" you tho
It’s amazing how tame that human is. Those orcas are very brave to swim close to the most dangerous animal on the planet.
There's nothing dangerous about him when he's floating in the ocean. he's in their domain and they are the kings of the ocean.
Yeah, humans never harm/kill marine life ever...
@@nKarje What you fail to realize is that humans are the #1 and only true Apex predator of the world, with our only "natural predators" are each other, humans hunt and kill other animals that are also considored apex Lions, Tiger Bear and even Orcas.
The most dangerous animal om the planet to who? Not humans
When humans are in the ocean, they are no longer at the top of the food chain. Orcas and sharks are. Orcas are the apex predators of the sea; not humans.
"Got lost, mate?"
"Maybe this human will do something entertaining"
"I guess not"
Orcas are so chill to humans. A shark cant tell anything apart from their food but an orca can fully process you as something totally different and even be curious about what you're doing there. They legit have their own societies man I love these guys
Untrue. Sharks are extremely intelligent and curious animals. Although not as intelligent as orcas, sharks know that humans are not food. Unless provoked, sharks do not attack. Sharks bite humans out of curiosity to see what we are, not aggression.
@@momyraza5445think they meant that sharks have horrible eyesight in general and can’t tell their food apart visually, which is true
@@momyraza5445 No where near as intelligent as orca and dolphins. Dolphins and orca are self aware
@@momyraza5445that's only true if the shark isn't starving. Humans are the equivalent of canned spaghetti for dinner, it's not something you'd normally decide on, but it'll do the job if you haven't eaten in days

The Orcas can also hear a human heartbeat. So they know if he is scared or in distress. They probably took a closer look if he was trapped or having problems and left when they assessed that he is safe.
Orcas have been known to identify problems and solve them. Plus, they also have memories as vast and long as elephants and even have family structures too.

Can even hear the diver letting out a defensive fart at 0:04 and going full attack mode with a brown sub at 0:08 that's why they didn't come closer. Exceptional technique!
It amazes me how they can destroy basically anything else in the ocean but leave us alone. And after all we've done to them...
@@ZZerkZZerk
Lack of fat on humans relative to bone structure does not make humans that appetising but if an orca is hunger and desperate who really knows.
@@bighands69 I’ve seen them attack and kill small bony little birds, so not sure if that’s correct, the birds have almost no meat on them, just feathers.
@@ZZerkZZerk no, they don’t eat us in general
@@bighands69 This is not the reason. They eat birds, which are much bonier than us. They simply recognize us as a threat, and leave us alone-
@@bighands69they don't even attack humans to play with us
she's like, who are you?" so precious
The way it sits there an watches has to make u think! what an incredible creature to understand
Nope.
They are trying to calculate if the human is worth eating.
@@bighands69 ok aqua man thanks for ur insight
@@jasonutter3989 😂 aqua man lol
This is the 4th clip I’ve seen of a human being so close to an Orca without getting attacked. The scariest one was with two little boys swimming in a river like stream that connects to the ocean and two large fins started to swim towards them, the two boys started panic swimming only to see that they were orcas not sharks and they separated when they got close to the little boys and swam past them.
Also in Nz
If it happens you probably deserved it ..
@@pjrichardson3677 That’s exactly what I’m thinking because there has been boat attacks in a certain location according to other comments I read but they are only targeting a certain boat out of the rest.
Or the one most people know, aquarium trainers that get attacked when the orcas have finally been fed up from captivity and probably training routines that they don’t like.
Orcas don't attack humans in the wild. The only time they attack them is in captivity
I already saw this video too. That was a terrifying moment for both those kids and me. Though I was just lying in my bed watching the video 😂 .
This video is hilarious.
Orcas are so smart. At first he was like who tf are you. The brought the freind to stare at you and left.
Someties we forget we just animals.
That's terrifying!! I cannot think of an animal that have a chance against them.
Sperm whale
humans are nearly driving orca's to extinction so we are one of them.
It’s like they’re speaking to each other....”Hey Gerry, come take a look at this.” “Yeah Bob, look at that, can we eat it? I’m hungry.” “No Gerry, I’m pretty sure it’s a human. I’ve heard about them.” “You sure we can’t eat ‘em Bob?” “No, that’s definitely a human Gerry. When did you ever see a long armed pink seal wave at you, man?! C’mon let’s take a look down this way. Maybe there’s a McDonalds!!”
Just doing a little human watching from a slightly respectful distance as we do to them! Love their vocalisations underwater.
Actually this video made me sad to think that these majestic creatures are being observed in small pens :(
@@hattmancock6396 You could alternately be happy that this pair in New Zealand are free, yet still feel curious enough to check us out. As I understand it, no new orcas are being taken for imprisonment/display.
As someone with thalassophobia…..
The seaweed forest next to and behind him is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE TERRIFYING TO ME THAN THE WHALE
I like to imagine them just straight up roasting him to each other through their clicks.
“Like bro look at this dudeee”
“Lmao look at how he swims”
😂
I would have talked to them. Told them how beautiful they are and to thank them for being in our world. They are such beautiful beings. Let us protect their homes and protect them!!! Such sweet beautiful, wonderful beings.
They're mammals and their thinking ability is very smart. The way they turn their heads towards you is amazing ❤️
Orca being like: hey hey, dude, watch what I just found you won’t believe me I found an alien!
Highest level of Bravery!
Ofcs there a fine word between bravery and stupidity xD
@@jit6938 lol
As if he had a choice lol
How they turn around so quick anyone see that 😂
In my heart and bones I know they wouldn't attack but my undies would have been full of something other than confidence! Epic encounter!
There is no guarantee that they would not attack. They would be be more interested in seals that have a lot more fat.
Orcas are brutal hunters that sometimes play with their food
"killer whale" for a reason
@@thecdc1738 and your point? They got that name by killing things other than us
@@thecdc1738 For being excellent hunters, yes. The only orca kills on humans were in captivity.
They took their time deciding not to use him as a play toy😂
At such a moment, I wouldn't know whether to freeze in awe or wet my pants out of fear.
Calf: food
Swimmer: wave
Calf: wow a human. Im going to call my mom
Did you hear the fast ‘quack” of sonar when she looked right at the swimmer?
theyre like "hey are you one of those knobs that likes to visit SeaWorld? "
😂😂😂😂😂
Some orcas are incredibly picky about the food they eat, specifically Southern Resident killer whales died off in great numbers because they couldn't get the 'correct' feed around them, that being salmon. Despite surrounded by food this local breed is close to extinction because of their pickiness, that's remarkable. It's one of the many things they do that baffle me like why don't they attack and eat swimming humans? They do attack swimming moose and polar bears, so why not humans? I guess they just don't encounter us swimming enough.
After watching a video of a killer whale (Orcas) protecting a human from a shark, I've completely fallen in love with these beautiful Orcas!♥️🥺
Do you have the video? I'd love to see it too!
@Brandon Hitt False and false. Killer whales were given the name as they hunt bigger whale species, as observed by ancient sailors. Killer whales have only been known to attack in captivity, and the most they do in the wild is injure someone they mistake as a seal or prey. They aren't meant for captivity, no animal is, which causes them to attack and unfortunately kill their trainers. However if you just leave them alone and let them live freely in the wild you will be fine.
sharks dont attack humans as much, sharks always mistakes humans as seals, or sea lions and other sea creatures, orcas have more human kill count than sharks do
@@joelsonsabado9206 this is false. There are no recorded orca killings in the wild. Only a handful, if that, cases in captivity.
My favorite animal
Cute! But absolutely scary for me😨😓
Thats legit intelligence
Why people swim in the ocean is beyond me. The stuff of nightmares really
People keep arguing orca as a whale or a dolphin, but they are Sea Panda to me 🗿
Sea panda 😆😅🤣
Ugh, Sooooo lucky! I’m obsessed with orcas! Here I am watching again lol
I would have deployed my tactical brown smoke screeen
Beautiful yet terrifying. Nature is amazing.
until it's not................ask Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend....
@@bobbys4327But bears are well known for killing humans, also bears are dumb af.
@@bobbys4327Yea that guy was really dumb and he got his girlfriend killed for his careless ness behavior!!
The guy did well. Incredible encounter in the wilderness.
They are so majestic and terrifying at the same time , my heart would be racing for sure .
They have a bite force of like 20 000 pounds , they could snap your whole body in half if they wanted too .
Por Eso Admiro Mucho A Las Orcas, Porque Rara Vez Atacan A Los Humanos, Son Animales Muy Inteligentes, Juguetones y Muy Buenos Cazadores...Son Los Reyes Del Mar, No Es El Tiburón Blanco....🇭🇳 👍👍👍👍
Incredible footage, btw
The encounter is well managed by both parts: the orcas show off so friendly and curious in all their magnificence, and the swimmer seems not to be scared at all, on the contrary enjoying the moment or at least experiencing empathy.....even if we all can easily guess his feeling when he had those repeated looks outside the water 🙂
Beautiful orcas. To think that they kill great whites and stare at you with such calmness and curiousity is fascinating. It truly shows how smart they are.
These are not so big, though.
Wow, to see the top apex predators of the ocean up close like that. Orcas are just so intelligent and always seem to be friendly to humans in the wild!
How they turn around so quick 😂 is crazy
