- Type-C Antarctic whales - one of three types of killer whales, or orcas - the world's most powerful apex predators, which have no natural predators above them in the food chain. Filmed by Boxfish ROV under permit of R Eisert - TPAonIce in January 2020.

I’d love to see more footage of the female with the large scar on her side.
She’s really sticking out and remarkable.
I wonder what caused her such damage...
Grateful to those who took this footage and released it to the public to give us a glimpse of an Orca species that is not fully documented to date... 👍🏽
THANKS FOR SHARING! I LOVE ORCAS!!
They look so cute, I wouldn't mind jumping in
El Eremy They would bite in half
@@DonCorleone803 they would not
My dad did that when we went to Raja Ampat but the orcas always keeping distance
@@DonCorleone803 The only recorded case of a wild orca biting a human happened in 1979. Experts believe it was a young orca, which mistook a surfer in a wetsuit for a seal.
Lmao you are insane I hope you know that orcas are the assholes of the sea on top of being the apex predator.
@@isayrandomthings680 If I was an Orca I would be an asshole.
Beautiful! Free and happy.
Can’t wait to see the type R.
I'm most interested in their social structure. Whereas people consider them to be killing machines, I'm most interested in their intelligence.
This footage is amazing. This is one of my favorite videos. thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Thanks for sharing. I love Orcas. Awesome video❤️
Wowie Zowie!!!
ORCAS FELIZES, SÃO ORCAS LIVRES EM SEU HABITAT NATURAL
sim você esta certo
they chilling
How do the Type C killer whales compare in size to the Southern Resident Orcas and other transient orcas?
Type C orcas are 6-7 meters in length
Oh wow they seem soo much smaller than the other types ! I wonder if transient orcas have ever crossed paths with these types and if they would try to prey upon them
Definitely not Orcas are smart and try and stay clear of neighboring Eco-types. Oh and these whales seem to be transient whales
@@drevaunchase9095 oh they are? They have a yellowish tint in the white patterns of their body to mean that seems they particularly stay in one area of the world where the water may be warmer or colder idk but they look petite and the white brow is more edgy than round compared to all of types , the transient orcas here in the California coast are freakin huge and well fed since they always wait around Monterey bay/ San Diego area to hunt when grey whales are migrating from their breeding grounds and have calf’s to prey upon ....they love to eat other species of whale :/ specifically their tongue 😱
@@czatron the eco type of an orca doesn’t have much to do with the subspecies or species of orca. You can tell if an orca is a transient by its dorsal fin and its saddle patch. These Orcas seem to have a Closed patch with a sharp tipped dorsal fin. These are all characteristics of a transient Orca
@@drevaunchase9095 wow ! I love all this ! At the same time , wish there was more humpbacks protecting other whales from them lol I’m sorry I’m conflicted
@@czatron I have a similar problem when watching wildlife documentaries..if the focus animal is a predator..its a c9nflicting emotion.. you want the animal to succeed and live...butvhard not to feel for the prey as well..
Beautiful footage. That looks like a nasty scar she has. Hope it wasn't from stupid boats.
Eye patch looks different from other ecotypes.
One question you never see is if you have one orca clan and show up at another orcas place do you have a battle or all is ok and moves on.
Good question! I can say that if its the same ecotype with the same dialect and culture thy get along very well. Southern Residents for example are made up by Three families: L,J and K pod. They have the same culture and language: Now where The southern residents(fish eaters) live also the Biggs orcas(marine mammal eaters) they have completely different language and culture. There was one documented encounter where the southern residents attacked a small matriline of Biggs orcas, no orcas were hurt and the Biggs fled.These ecotypes speak completely different languages and are strangers to one another and can't communicate Aggression tho almost never happens . That is why captive orcas don't get along very well and it comes to aggression. Hope my answer helped :)
Maybe depends on the matriarch. If she declares another pod enemy, they all attack. But then she may have allies. So it depends.
really unnecessary music detracts from subject matter.
So mute it
Oceans are dying from overfishing
0:58 is that a massive scar on its side?
I was wondering that too. Definitely looks like something tore into her side.
I don’t think it’s a scar because it’s white scar it’s red
Like blood
@@DonCorleone803 yeah
@@DonCorleone803 Scars are never red. They turn white with age and exposure to the water.
4 types not 3 types (type A, type B, type C, type D.)
Maybe they’re referring only to Antarctic ecotypes and excluding sub-Antarctic type D? Not quite sure. It’s also worth mentioning that type Bs are further divided into type B1 (Pack ice) and type B2 (Gerlache), and these different forms need further study.
Yes there there are 1 kind in the north and 1 in the south then we have transient orcas who are not afraid of our kind and really vicious towards other whales , then I’ve heard of the new breed that the transient pods have bred with either north or south , I bet there’s too many to even count
@@-guloluscus-3876 Wow, I didn’t know that! Very intelligent, thank you for sharing!!
0:52 Injured one
Ugh.. I hate type C. They can't charge my phone.
Upgrade your phone then...

This joke 😂😂

Orcas are not fish they are mammals 😂😂😂😂😂🏗
Boxfish is the name of the channel.
Boxfish rov , it has a website
You are a fool
da fuqs a type c killer whale
Killer Whales are divided into different ecotypes, distinguished by their fin, head and body form and by their eye- and saddlepatch.
Type A is the common killer whale, the one familiar to most.
Type B is the "pack ice" killer whale, the ones famous for creating waves to wash seals off the ice. They have a large eyepatch, and are generally the largest ecotype
Type C is the smallest ecotype, living in the Ross sea. They have a slightly curved eyepatch, as seen in the video and are sometimes a bit more brownish, because of algeas living in the Ross sea.
Type D is the newest found ecotype, they have a completely different body shape, and a very small eyepatch. They live in the sub-antarctic ocean, and are the rarest kind of killer whales, only known from a mass stranding in 1955 in new zealand, occasional tourist sightings and then re-discovered in 2013 and officially named Type D Ecotype, we dont know much about type D, since they live in the nastiest part of the sea in the world, which makes research difficult
Scientific community is arguing to classify each ecotype as its own sub species of the Orca Whale, especially Type D since its DNA is significally different from the other Ecotypes. Killer Whales are more or less "in the process" of splitting into different species, thats because different populations have their own languages, behavior and never interact with each other, and are usually staying in their own groups, even as adults. Even then, no two groups are the same in language, hunting strats and behavior. For example, there is one famous group of orcas who developed a hunting strategy by beaching themselves to hunt seals, and then getting washed back into the water by the waves, a behavior that has never been witnessed in any other orca pod.
normie
I see what you did there
