It seems the pilot whales got the calf back and the orcas believing the calf was a part of their family tired to retrieve the calf. Thus the “back and forth” chasing between the two pods.
Is the water not clear enough to see anything under the water? It would be cool if whale watching boats had a standardized underwater camera to document what's happening beneath the waves on their encounters.
Not really in deep water, any time I've been deep sea on board a commercial vessel, its never been clear enough to see what's under you, its only if its really still and in certain places you have real clarity but like I said the shipping routes are not it although you do see plenty of whales, dolphins, flying fish and even sharks
Very interesting I remember seeing a story where pilot whales adopted a dolphin or dolphins adopted a pilot whale with a cricket fin or something like that it very fascinating
Well, perhaps this isn’t all that strange, seeing how female lions are sometimes seen trying to care for antelope calves, even though it never ends well…
@@benthekeeshond545 No, for some reason lionesses who have had their mother-instinct triggered by a calf stop eating meat themselves, which means they starve and either die from starvation or is saved by another lion eating the calf, when they’ve become too weak to defend it…
@@benthekeeshond545 No, I’m of the opinion that saintly behavior puts no meat on the table, and again, it isn’t a pride thing, it is a dismal and solitary thing which never goes well for the lioness or the calf…
Saedis probably stole the calf because she wants a baby to nurture. It probably died of starvation since she couldn’t nurse it, the pilot whales got it back, or inexperienced Saedis lost it.
@@randomlyfactual1943Saedis was known for not producing enough milk and that's why she never had babies. She may have stole the calf because of strong maternal instinct.
What if the orcas know about pilot whale prejudice, and are attempting to reform them from within by training a pilot calf as one of their own... Ocean Conspiracies, playing out beneath the surface.
Probabl they use pilot whale's calves like substitutes for lost calves of their own. And if this doesn't work... they'll be always good as emergency food 👌
@@U20007 Remember you are talking about an animal that sometime kill just for the sake of killing... just like humans, chimps, elephants or crows. And what do they have in common, if not beeing dirty smart? Humans kill more just because they are more intelligent and technological
Orcas are the top predators of the ocean so I'm dumbfounded as to what weapons pilot whales have to drive off orcas? Are there any recorded incidents of attacks between pilot whales and orcas? I don't believe it's simply a matter of pilot whales having larger numbers in their pod. Perhaps pilot whale vocalizations can be used to either hurt an orca's hearing or disorient them, hence why orcas will run if chased. One on one, an orca seems to have greater offensive weapons than a pilot whale so it doesn't make sense that pilot whales seem to have the upper hand between these two species.
@@davidhunternyc1 there is look it up, there’s even videos on UA-cam explaining it, all it is is that pilot whales have bigger pods then orcas, pilot whales don’t eat orcas but they have killed them before.
I highly doubt that orcas ain't vicious as their portrayed out to be there are highly sociable animals it's not that far-fetched that they would go to this level of intelligence and nurturing especially if a mother can't give birth to Young
It seems as if they were trying to give them the pilot whale but with them being so aggressive towards orcas, the orcas relented and decided to raise their cousin. Even if they had released the whale to them they probably would have killed it out of aggression. Remember these are very intelligent creatures. It's possible that orcas can understand language of other species but it doesn't work vice versa. Like me and my cat. My cat understands almost all of the English language but I can hardly tell one meow from another. Which can cause confusion between species. It's possible that the orcas sound like Spanish to an American only speaking person while the orca can understand both languages.
Your cat doesn't know all of English or any for that matter. It knows that an event follows a certain sound, like if you say the same thing every time before you feed them they know they will soon get fed but that doesn't mean they know what the word means. It is called the conditioned reflex, Pavlov won the Nobel Prize for his experiment on this.

Only large pods of pilot whales try to chase orcas away, and this is not guaranteed anyway The pilot whales are faster, the orcas are stronger and would win in a fight. Quite a few transient remains of pilot whales were found in orca digestive tracks, while no known orca remains were found in a pilot whale's guts This being said, pilot whales are still some of the few animals that do endeavour in chasing orcas away, alongside sperm whales etc
I was on a Whale watch out of Gloucester MA, USA in 2004. We saw an Atlantic Right Whale with a Finback calf. Was absolutely amazing.

I thought it was sperm whales
Does she give it milk? Does the pilot whale stay forever and understand the orcas language?
Beautiful scenery. Beautiful music.
Its cute but unless orcas and pilot whale share the same diet I can't see the baby living a long healthy life.
They do
Nurturing or farming?
Exactly. If the baby pilot whale had stayed with the orca pod, I would be worried about its survival.
Well, perhaps this isn’t all that strange, seeing how female lions are sometimes seen trying to care for antelope calves, even though it never ends well…
The lioness was waiting for the calf to become bigger and more delicious.

You must be a member of that lioness's pride. I believe the lioness later became a Saint.

Lions do that to keep them for later. You're extremely naive
Saedis probably stole the calf because she wants a baby to nurture. It probably died of starvation since she couldn’t nurse it, the pilot whales got it back, or inexperienced Saedis lost it.
Why wasn't she able to nurse it? I would assume that Orca milk would be able to feed Pilot Whale calves too
@@randomlyfactual1943 Provided she was able to give milk in the first place
Perhaps, the calf followed Saedis for whatever reason.
@@randomlyfactual1943Saedis was known for not producing enough milk and that's why she never had babies. She may have stole the calf because of strong maternal instinct.
@@CistudeSuisse ah. I was unaware
well..kinda wondering how eventually the calf ended up.
What happened to the pilot whale calf?
They ate him
Increíble y maravilloso a la vez😍
Nah, she holding onto the snack for later
What if the orcas know about pilot whale prejudice, and are attempting to reform them from within by training a pilot calf as one of their own... Ocean Conspiracies, playing out beneath the surface.
Yes, like MBS training Jared Kushner.
can you guys get some drones plz... i need to know more
Excellent point. Drones are not invasive and surely do teach us more when used.
Nature is Amazing
Probabl they use pilot whale's calves like substitutes for lost calves of their own.
And if this doesn't work... they'll be always good as emergency food 👌
I think they don't have men's dirty mind

@@U20007feminist detected
Do you not think she ate the calf?
The calf was to small so the orcas convinced it to hang with them for a few more month's. ;)
1:40 "And even though the pilot whale calf was not spotted a second time...The story does not end here."
naw bruh those orcas f#cking ate him

That’s what I read. That the pilot whales emit an intense sound that hurts the orcas.
No it’s just large pods the same way a orca pod can kill a big sperm whale other wise they couldn’t
@@xtronvultron4811 Sounds like a reasonable explanation but there is no evidence that a pilot whale pod has ever predated on an orca pod.
@@davidhunternyc1 there is look it up, there’s even videos on UA-cam explaining it, all it is is that pilot whales have bigger pods then orcas, pilot whales don’t eat orcas but they have killed them before.
tryin to merge the clans and run the ocean
Holy shit, they'll raise that pilot whale and make it turn on it's tribe!
Where is underwater footage😭
So you don't think they are interbreeding?
Different genus cannot intermix. This is someone else’s baby.
@@Sosoland1 It is def someone elses baby, seems to be a pure pilot whale, but animals of different genuses can and do interbreed
I pray they make it.
Friends today, food tomorrow.... 🤔
He is an ambassador seeking to form a lasting peace between their species... but as we all know, peace never lasts forever..
Can it will survive?
Female orca leading fresh food back to her pod and her kids to practice 😢

Switch at Brith. Like 62% of all aamericans.
i seen a vid where they avoid each other . now i know why it wants child support
Let's hope it's not raising it for the table.
They never spotted that baby pilot again because it most likely ended up inside the stomach of that female Orca.

That's weird Pilot whales most often threaten Orcas.
Only large pods of pilot whales try to chase orcas away, and this is not guaranteed anyway
The pilot whales are faster, the orcas are stronger and would win in a fight. Quite a few transient remains of pilot whales were found in orca digestive tracks, while no known orca remains were found in a pilot whale's guts
This being said, pilot whales are still some of the few animals that do endeavour in chasing orcas away, alongside sperm whales etc
@@LudwigVaanArthans There was a comment above where a marine biologist said she saw pilot whales killing orcas in Antartica.
This orca likely killed the mother whale.
Just raising them to fatten them up to eat. Brilliant!
...and sad.
