Killer whales attack yacht off the coast of Morocco
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2023
- A vengeful killer whale called Gladis is leading gangs of orcas into battle with yachts around Gibraltar and has already sunk three boats in Europe.
It may read like something out of Moby Dick, but in this case the truth is stranger than Herman Melville’s fictional tale of the white whale.
Researchers believe that a female orca called White Gladis has been hell-bent on revenge after being traumatised by a collision with a boat or being trapped in illegal fishing nets.
Gladis’s attacks are now being copied by the rest of the killer whale population, which have learnt how to ram vessels from their ringleader.

Gladis is pissed. That is why I shall not take my non-existent yach to those waters.
Take a dingy out there, blow up raft lol
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
If bezos takes his ship there, i will offer to help Gladis
I can't imagine what they would do if they knocked a person in.
Even nature is sick of humans
We didn't get the memo with COVID, the hot summers and flash floods.
It's highly doubtful we are the most intelligent species on the planet.
Nature kills more animals than humans
Just sick of self hating humans
No correct some humans
@kevinocooldaddy self hating humans, please explain? I'm reading in-between the lines and confirming that we are killing/destroying the planet. It's not self hating.
Its honestly crazy how intelligent these creatures are they are truly amazing
Not that intelligent if they’re attacking apex human species though.
See how apex human is in the water.
Eventually someone will shoot them though.
It's also sad because they must be extremely traumatised and emotional to be doing that.
It's honestly crazy how intelligent humans are, yet humanity as a whole is self-destructive
Attacking humans is the opposite of intelligent. Sooner or later they are going to attack a boat where the owner is going pump them full of lead. They maybe powerful in the water, but they are not bulletproof on the surface.
Gladis is like Rambo of the ocean, got the PTSD and ain't playing.
If she keeps playing it's not going to end well for her.
@@charlesmartin1121 Someone said she got killed a few hours ago I'm still trying to verify whether that's true or not still can't find the news anywhere he may have been lying
@@ucef9945 That would be tragic if true. However, not a surprise. I have seen humans kill for less, far less unfortunately.
Correction: attacking boats is NOT being copied by the rest of the orca population, but just by the rest of the traumatized orca’s pod.
Taking care of their own.Respect!
It was said on news by experts that one Orca was injured by a rudder blade, same pod.
It's sad that orcas are a lot better at teamwork than humans, yet humans are supposed to be the most intelligent lifeforms. 🙄
Smarter than Wolves, bigger than Volkswagons. Glad they live in the ocean.
Volkswagen? I don't know any Volkswagens that can grow to be 30 feet long.
He's trying to sound like Jeremy Clarkson and failing miserably.
@Bob Woods bigger than Volkswagens... reading comprehension is a mofo
That's exactly why it would be "BiGgEr" then then volkswagon. And who the hell is Jeremy clark lol
I don't know of any 6 ton Volkswagons.
Wow, she was able to tell the other orcas what happened and rile them up enough to want to attack boats. That’s crazy!!
Crazy for the human mind maybe. Smart as heck considering what we’ve done to them and this planet actually.
As she should
Orcas have the ability to teach other orcas, especially in the matters of hunting. They can plan, organize and attack.
@@Confidentk9sCa its not really smart attacking boats for no reason though is it? worst case outcome is they piss off enough people and end up getting culled
Apparently not smart enough to realize the repercussions of sinking vessels of the apex predator.
Gladis doesn’t take any schitt from the humans and their boats!
Until she takes a bullet in the brain pan. And then it's a one way trip to the bottom.
I fully support the Whales fight against trauma and oppression by Ponce boat captains
😂
... oppression????
Sailboats are like $5000 a lot of people live on them because they can't afford rent.
Your cheering for the whales to oppress poor people
Barky lard furst supports Orca visiting trauma and oppression on boat captains. Send in the clowns.
@@oooamagaidk8731 m
Yet no one wants to admit that this is probably them finally fighting back. Acknowledge them.
Orcas are defending the precious hunting grounds they have left on planet 🌍. Animals deserve the right to exist with mankind. #GoOrcas
That part
They have plenty of food
Sorry but if I'm the Captain in those waters I would have a 12gauge with slugs at the ready. I love all creatures but it may very well end up costing the life of the crew of one of these vessels.
It's not so much that they have the right, as it is our duty as shepherd's of this world to ensure the health of as many species as possible.
They literally want them to turn an engine on so they can play in the wake. It is a common orca behavior that has been documented. Orcas are the giant toddlers of the sea
I feel bad for anyone willing to test the Orcas!!! They are no joke and need to be respected PERIOD!!!! We in their territory and they're not stupid animals they remember everything!
Nah
They will also remember if one of the Whales are shot with a hunting rifle. It will just take one whale to get shot before they stop
There is a lot that people don't know about, I read some article about how some companies from European countries they send their ships with a huge vacuum undersea that vacuum all fish
@@kp117 always the braindead guy thinking their deadly toys are the answer for all the problems lol, damn this is how little humans are, it's embarrassing
@@kp117 I know Harry is a tool but even he doesn’t deserve that.
It is their territory ,they're tired of what man has been doing to their home. I totally understand why they're upset
The nature should be a lot more pissed at us at this point.
Humans are nature too
@@willsommers6477he peice that most want dead
Since im neutral, whatever happens, happens
@willsommers6477 No that ended when humans crawled out of the slime and stood up .
Please don’t kill these beautiful and vulnerable creatures.
Gladys throwing people out of her house. Get it, girl!
Get gone girl!
And her Pips!
Tf
Mentally ill clown
Click bait. There's absolutely no "attacking" on camera at all an swimming next to boat 🙄
Better than blocking roads and spraying orange paint.
But both protests are valid and necessary.
@@colinme2672 no. what leftist doing is utterly useless and stupid. they only cause more problems
One thing is for sure the killers are way smarter than the morons blocking roads.,.
That's hardly an attack...
Protecting their environment & their young!
Makes me wonder if the boaters clipped one of the orcas by accident with their propeller.They usually only attack,if felt threatened.
Very common behaviour, surprised they didn’t damage the rudder too!
There is another video showing the whales doing exacting that and they sunk the boat.
They have on other boats.
I'll never travel in a small to medium-sized vessel for this reason. I am not much for floating either lol.
It’s actually not common behaviour - hence, why it’s made the news.
Thinks gladis is saying get "F" outa my turf
The orcas have probably found out that a yacht maybe crunchy on the outside but its soft and juicy on the inside
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And then soon those Orca may find that some boat owners have things called guns. And the guns fire things called bullets, which pierce their juicy insides.
@@charlesmartin1121 everything is guns this guns that who kills orcas man the coolest sea creature only losers man
Gladis has every right to be vengeful after being traumatized
I guess vengeful boat owners have the same right
@@Ryan-uk6zq Their bloody bodies by the should be fed to the sea by the thousands. Millions is possible
@@Ryan-uk6zq It's the orcas' home
@@anony-ic3pz Technically if we go by the illiterate evolutionist method then the Earth is the home of everyone.
@@hastar6914 LMFAO And look how humans treat other animals.
Just stop......
Killer whales are friendly to human swimmers, but not these boats. I'm guessing the boats are the jerks.
This is both surprising and incredible at the same time. Just goes to show really how intelligent they really are in this current situation, I definitely back Gladis and the rest of her pod.
In the end, everything under the water is theirs and the rest of the sea life, not ours. They aren’t going to stop until there are less domestic boats like this about.
If only this was true. Then the planet might stand a chance. Though it could also easily make other humans even more evil.
But if the Orcas and all wild life were actually working this hard to teach humans a lesson and we eventually learned a lot more to take note of them, then the planet might have a chance. But that’s like asking for world peace. Never gonna happen no matter how optimistic we could all hope for. Humans are WAY too selfish and messed up to the point of making us the most ignorant species on the planet especially considering how smart our brains should be.
We should all do what we can to help them but we also need to learn what is realistically happening with them if we want them to survive. Videos like this go completely against the reality of what’s happening and instead makes people believe the BS so they can excuse themselves for their ignorance. If Orcas go then it would be obvious there would be very little time left for this planet. They’ve been teaching us the circle of life for a very long time now and it’s one of the few things we’ve gotten right. Yet very few care enough, once we become adults, to ever do much or anything about it and instead many more humans ignorantly do what’s bad for nature instead like in this video and so so much more.
Or until they are hunted
No this our world everything else is just food
Shoot them. I would but tbh ive been through the straights à few times and never saw an orcs. But if one attacked my boat id shoot it.
@@nzidiouskiwi9138 they were here millions of years before us
I love Gladis,she should be protected and respected.it's such ashame humans,destroy anything that gets in their way.Our oceans and seas are disgustingly over polluted with rubbish and over fished,things must change or beautiful creature like Gladis won,t exist.
Oh stop the self hate be proud to be a human and not a wild animal life out there is cruel
I sailed into the same mariana a couple of days ago, spoke to this couple. 13 boats there were damaged and there was one sunk in the entrance.
Apparently they're only attacking boats under sail with or without engine running, going between 5-8 knots, 2-8km from the coast. Not sure if they have attacked a catamaran yet which might be why we were left alone. Also they seem to go for black anti fouling paint more. I don't think there is any evidence suggesting it's about fishing as they have not attacked fishing vessels. Also it's really the coast of Spain, although Morocco is very close across the straights of Gibraltar.
Shes most likely lost a calf to a boat.
Most likely? LOL, thanks for the chuckle!
Awsome, im with Gladis
I’m more concerned about the orcas and what happens to them than RICH PEOPLE’S PROBLEMS…
RICH PEOPLE’S PROBLEMS… like Gates?
Na I think he’s talking about musk!!
Actually hilarious, she has an axe to grind with them damn sailors, lol
I didn't see them attack the boat once
The whale said "Get out my living room" 😆 🤣
It’s nice to see wild animals fight back. People have been polluting their home, injuring, killing, kidnapping, imprisoning and exploiting them for way too long now. ✊🏼🌊
Especially since they used to leave humans alone, while humans fished them out of the ocean for either food or entertainment.
Looks like a pissed-off mother nature
They F**ked with the wrong whale.
If this continues, pretty soon Gladys is going to f__k with the wrong human. Then it will be a one way trip to the bottom with a bullet in her brain pan.
Yeah... Not really
😂😂
Id say maybe the Orcas had a bad encounter with boats. its not uncommon to see Orcas trying to break the rudders or propellers of boats
The animals should do way more. They need to take revenge and finally reduce the human race, as they should!
@@FrickPlstnFrickPride lol we’d win easily. They can try though.
@@FrickPlstnFrickPrideyou could help them by backspacing yourself
@@FrickPlstnFrickPrideIt’s an easy win theyre at our mercy. Also we have the Japanese ifyk what I mean
It IS uncommon, it's so uncommon that it's international news.
If they can be trained I don't know why they shouldn't be able to remember threats and invades from yachts and people.... they remember things🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
How do we know those weren't seals filming from the boat? There's gotta be more to this story
What would Navy SEALs be doing on a yacht?
Seals aren't that clever....yet
Hell yeah, go Gladis
Move Gladis to the channel and sit her right around Dover. Tell her, we'll pay her.
Slightly dark but a very funny joke hahaha
😂😂😂
Sardines can get expensive when they have to be imported.
Gladys is cruising for a bruising…or aiming for a maiming….
Her instinct is to protect herself and her family 😢
Looks like their just swimming. I really love this animal, and I don't appreciate anyone demonizing their behavior. They are protecting themselves and their family!!
they're soo deadly creates and smart too .. they kill just for fun sometimes .. i depends on there mood if they wanna play or kill lol (they kill some animals just for fun not to eat)
@Cool Stuff well seems like they have Human behavior, unfortunately we have land mammals who kill for fun to, it's the unfortunate truth
@@heartlove7502 that is true and sad
Well said, in both commentaries.
Orca don’t kill for sport. They use these tactics that appear so to us, but they are actually teaching their young to handle wild prey and how to hunt.
Orcas are notoriously smart, ruthless, and the hold a grudge. We managed to go this long without crossing them too badly but clearly they’ve had enough
THE SEA WAS ANGRY THAT DAY MY FRIENDS
People will put up with it as long as they don't kill anyone. We all know what happens to animals that kill humans.
@Myrtuscommunis no they should not much of their behaviour is down to crappy humans who have no regard for any living creature
It might just take a pissed off boat owner to end this farce.
@Myrtuscommunis Dangerous creatures share this world with us , we are NOT more important than every other living creature ...
@@sandym8787 Hell yes we are, to us, which is what matters in the end
They should call her Karen lol
Attack? He want to play.
GO GLADIS !!! I'm amazed more animals haven't started attacking us for hurting them so.
'Revenge of the Orca!' Go, Gladis go....
What's a chewed rudder or keel amongst friends?
When Humans enter the food chain, gotta expect the ride is going to get bumpy! 😊😅😂👍
At this time of year orcas are infesting tha waters near the straight of Giblartar, which links the Atantic Ocean and the enclosed Mediterranean sea. The reason is that migrating tuna fish are coming from the southern hemisphere to the warm waters of the Mediterranean sea. Orcas have a festive season as they feed on tuna fish.
Go orcas!!!!
Why dont they post the reason why the orcas retaliated
They are tired of people using them for entertainment. I don't blame them. Boats associates with capture and tearing their families apart like the human race is so good at doing. Which is destroy and traumatize any breathing creature they touch.
Yeah like they really know some Orcas are in seaqariums.
They're gonna need a bigger boat!
I've been diving with Orcas off the coast of Norway (not seeking them out in any way, they approached me, I was just doing my own scuba thing). The adults were all very gentle, but the teens did leave me with some bruises. It was scary when it happened, of course, but I think it was basically playfulness. And I lived just fine to tell about it.
What's going on in the Med now I can't explain at all. Seems to me to be a bit above playfulness, in my very humble opinion. I just know we have a different stock of Orcas here up North, possibly with a different - I dunno - upbringing or whatever, and even though they have not been spared from human activitity either, we seem to coexist. Probably not a very scientific explanation.
Perhaps it's people with a different upbringing that have really pissed this pod off???
They knew they were English
She's protecting her home, I'm with her 😍😍
They share information via sonar , they don’t even have to see the behavior. The last message I translated was this “So long And Thanks For All The Fish “.
I believe that is not the issue. They see the boats as competition for food. Often prey will take shelter on or near boats when being chased or hunted by orcas. Some boat owners will actively try to defend their prey when they are hunting. So they have adapted and devised a way to try and make their hunts more successful by eliminating boats from their hunting grounds.
They wouldn't chose the wrong boats to attack in that case, and instead would attack the fishing boats
Experts.... believe.... "gangs" who types these things
Let's remember that the ocean is THEIR home and we are the intruders. These are beautiful, intelligent animals, no need to demonise them as some kind of monster. Im sure this is due to human, possibly fishermen behaviour as they contend with them for food. We can do without fish in our diet, they can't.
I don’t blame them for doing what they are doing because they get targeted the same way by boats that force them to shore and then they’re slaughtered. We don’t know how their brains function, but I’m guessing that they don’t forget
Stay outta my yard! 😂😂
Imagine if all the wild animals turned against humans, and was like welp its our turn! ☠️😂
Can u post the footage of the attack please?
They are just defending their home.
And when the next sail boat owner shots an attacking Orca, they will be defending their home.
@@charlesmartin1121 Shooting is a little extreme.M-80's 💥 would send them away.
From a sailboat? Ok.🤪
@@jeffhodge7272 It might make them more angry. But it could be worth a try.
@@charlesmartin1121 Anything is better than "cheering" for the Orca to damage boats or possibly hurt/kill people.
It’s beautiful to see them defending they home from predators they must be sick of the damage we done to the ocean imagine! Somebody kicks toxic waste into your living and radiation and trash.
It's not their home, they are homeless
"We're gonna need a bigger boat" JAWS lmao
"whose seas? OUR SEAS!! Whose seas? "OUR SEAS!!!"
how?
go gladis!
I heard, orcas triggered by the boat's engine noise.
One boat owner called the Coast Guard about being attacked by orcas, if they can come out and help?
CG operator asked if his running his engine?
Man said -Yes!
Response was - Turn it off!
He did!
Within 20 min, the orcas went away!
I recall a sailboat attacked and sunk by orcas I think in 1970 in the Pacific Ocean. The people survived but were adrift for a long time.
Dougal Robertson (1924-1991) was a Scottish author and sailor who with his family survived being adrift at sea after their schooner was holed by a pod of orcas in 1972, one of very few documented orca attacks...wiki
I totally fell for this clickbait title...
Not so much an attack as a warning.
These are hyper-intelligent beings. If they were actually attacking things would have looked and ended very differently.
The same female orca has assisted in sinking 3 other boats. It's likely this particular boat was just too big and durable to sink.
I truly believe if a whale was willing to sacrifice itself it could take out a small yacht like the one in this video. But animal nature dictates survival overall else and it is not in a healthy animals nature to harm itself normally. Barring wolf chewing its own leg off or other extreme examples that can be given, emphasis on the word extreme
If they were hyper-intelligent they would know it's a bad idea to mess with humans.
I watched a show about a certain group of killer whales who are killing great white sharks in South Africa. This is a duo of brother orcas. The thing about orcas is that they do teach other orcas what they are doing. So this unwanted behavior grows. The orcas involved are named Port & Starboard.
They need to be taught a stern lesson...
Anyone sailing should be thankful that orcas don't attack more boats. They have started because one of them was injured by a boat & the MAY be exacting revenge, but more likely they are showing that they can do a lot of damage if they wanted.
I'll bet they leave the Japanese alone!
go whales - we’ve ruined the oceans - u can’t blame them
Exactly companies use ships with vacuum to get fish that's not how fishing works! That's literally will destroy ocean lifecycles
They are highly intellegent creatures and have photographic memory. maybe they are up for something. tirelessly aiming for that yacht.
Gladis out here starting the revolution
Some of the most memorable orcas that live on this earth:
1. Keiko, the Free Willy
2. Old Tom, the Killer of Eden
3. Tilikum, the Blackfish
4. J35, the Mourner
5. White Gladis, the Despair
Extraordinary.... This appears to be happening all over the world in the last few days it's ramped up loads. Its like a coordinated attack. As remarkable as that is.
Errrrrrrrm nah!!
Where else ?
Did I miss something? Just looked like an escort to me
so where in the video do they actually “hit” the vessel. all it shows is them swimming alongside…guessing just a clickbait title for views.
It is grand that the killer whales are establishing their claim on the seas. Boats beware.
Other way around bro.
Idiotic.
We, as human beings will make ourselves obsolete by global warming, maybe then nature will have the last laugh😢
The earth is greener now than it was 20 years ago due to carbon monoxide levels
Honestly it could be from all the noise those boats make and making it unable from them to even hear each others calls
Gladis is the revolutionary we never knew we needed. Continuing the work of Brother Harambe (RIP)
#TeamGladis #RespectOurOceans
oh yes! I remember this one very well, and btw it’s Gladys, not Gladis, ok?
Anyway, Gladys “Kravitz” has been around for years, and it was even thought that she may have passed already.
However, I’m almost certain her partner “Abner” is long gone, but then again, who really knows. 🤷🏼♂️
There’s so many weird happenings occurring these days that a man would be a FOOL, to speculate on anything, really! 🤓
I spell my name Gladis just saying
@@gladisgarcia7303 . . I can see that 😉
They werent attacking the yacht, it was mating season and the homies wanted to get lil frisky
Can I say it was an orca-strated attack?
Good for them I say, sadly though, I say it with dread that humans will not take to this development kindly 😢
Had this exact same thought process. 😢 I'm shocked orcas haven't turned on us sooner - they have every reason to. But this will lead to more abuse most likely. I hate humans.
Of course not. What fool would?
I would’ve been spear fishing whale if I were on that boat.
@Myrtuscommunis We taking away their home, that's bad
@@Myrtuscommunis-gd6tkNumber of killer whale human attacks = none.
More likely they've begun to recognize boats as competition for diminishing food stocks.
Gladis better be nice & nosey off in all that deep waters before she ends up in a tuna can
They are not "Attacking yachts" if they are the younger males they are playing that's probably how they behave by becoming assertive. As we know "Humans " are not included in their food chain. As they are taught very young how to hunt marine life as a family!!!!😅❤
