I love how these animals essentially have different cultures all around the world. The Orca Midwife is amazing.
Each pod “speaks” a slightly different language when communicating to each other too.
It is a joy watching these beautiful intelligent animals swimming free. Makes your heart glad
We really need to do what we can to protect these highly intelligent creatures...
Aww. They are amazing animals. Beautiful!! It never gets old watching them.
male Orca's life span is between 50-70 years of age.Female Orca's live between 80-105 years of age.
They're one of very few animals that have a shorter expected life span in captivity than in the wild. That alone suggests we dont provide them with an adequate lifestyle in captivity.
@@jafrost1328 pelagic sharks and whales swim long distances...they do poorly in small pools...
The baby spoken of J50 is now almost 2 and called Scarlett
But one of Jpod is presumed dead, J14 Samish,a 42 year girl. And a new mother J 28 Polaris is seen with a peanuthead due to starvation!
The 4 lower Snake River dams need to come down, the orca are starving NOW!
👍
J50 has peanut head as well.
Natasja Dirken how do you keep up with this info?
Well they all look the same
Is it too crazy to suggest restocking the oceans fish? People need to stop eating all of the other animals food. We can survive being vegitarian.
*No collapsed dorsal fins.. Guess thats only at SeaWorld*
All I will say it not a sickness kinda think even Keiko had it after moving back to the ocean
Tiffany Kozak True... however, dorsal fin collapse *IS* due to their being confined in small cement “pools” for years if not decades... 🤷🏻♀️
Tiffany Kozak because it’s permanently like that forever 😒
Tiffany Kozak are you aware that in the wild a female orcas life span is 80-90 years max and males is 50-60 years max, and in captivity the average age of an orca dying is 14 years? That difference is just so horrific.
there’s no bones in the dorsalz
if we want them to be here for future generations.. they need salmon which is dammed up. Time to breach to 4 lower Snake River dams to release their food.
Salmon's lives matter! . . sure.....They live to be EATEN BY APEX PREDATORS!!
Grim Chickn I agree
Grim Chickn Well it’s official. Babies have died and J50’s starving. Boycott salmon to leave more to the Orca. End farmed salmon and stop the pipeline and the oil shipping tankers planned for their seas. How likely are these to happen? Not very. Grieve the orca. (I do wonder if boycotting salmon would get the attention of some power brokers to do less harm to the Orca. Might get the salmon farmers on the side of the Orca paradoxically.) Dunno. I’ve got chemo brain so my ideas can be convoluted. Cheers.

@@aremedyproject9569 they died? really?
These are the kinds of stories I wish our media would cover from time to time.
It is truly a shame what humans have done to the environment and to wildlife!
I love our beautiful BC WHALES..
Best news of the day. I went whale watching just a month ago, left from Port Townsend, WA to the San Juan Islands . It was a spectacular, day, one that I will always cherish.
I love and fight for the orca they are so amazing 💙🙏💙
It was so strange to me when he said that the southern residents would never eat seals, but then when he compared it to our cultures and the fact that people from 1 culture might never eat something that another culture sees as normal, it really helped me understand.
There are 3 "cultures" the siwnist's know about: Southern residents, Northern residenz and transiwnts- they eat marine mammal's!! The other 2 sat Samon and Hering
@@horse-lover68 you don't know what you're talking about!!! shame on you why don't u talk about Asia & go back 🔙 there
That doesn't make sense!
@@susannewatson1219 I exactly know what I am taking about. Ask real sientist's like Dr Ingrid Visser,Dr Naomi Rose and not aquarium mob. Shame on you!!!
@@horse-lover68 but then there are also pods near NZ and in the indian ocean and near Iceland.... They all have their own culture
I was blessed to be able to live there. ❤️
This is why so many here in BC oppose the oil plans.
Sure its great for Alberta. A spill to them means a mess in someones field,here it could mean the end of an entire pod of whales that is an industry in itself.
True, except for the issue they're not 'whales'.. 😕
Humans needs to quit taking from this planet and actually give back! 🖤🐬#emptythetanks #blackfish #SeaWorldKills
Bryan Ouellet When has any human entered an animals body and eat it alive?
The orca is my favorite anamal after watching everu documentry their is so smart and friendly all whales are great but the arca is amazing
Wow! They are just so beautiful
To all of the people worrying about Sealand, don't worry it is against the law to capture any Orcas for captivity, our resident whales are safe
beautiful creatures
Aww. I hope things get better for them.
Absolutely in awe with orcas . They are so beautiful intelligent mammals . They must be protected. No captivity. We need more salmon for them.
Had my Dream come Tru🐳🐳🐳💞💞💞Being able to witness this in person💞💞Amazing goosebumps and if course in Awe😄😄😄
Wow what was it like..it's my dream to swim w them in the wild
I would love the experience this watching them in their natural habitat. I see dolphins close up a few times a week in the ocean where I live and it never gets old💓🥰
"Because it was a difficult delivery, scientists believe that actually two members of this pod... midwifed this baby. Pulled this baby out of its mother."
Is there an orca baby boom underway off Vancouver Island?
The National - *"Everything is perfectly normal."* ua-cam.com/video/0nG28O_f9PA/v-deo.html _We are killing the Planet. We are creating our own Extinction. Aint we? . ._
Anyway these orcas could be fed by releasing live salmon from fisheries in their waters..??
This is how people SHOULD be seeing Orcas. In the ocean, with their families, swimming free. I didn't see ONE collapsed dorsal fin or logging Orca in that pod. They all looked happy. And I'm GLAD none of these precious babies will be snatched away to be taken to Seaworld Prison.
can you imagine not holding japan accountable for killing the pacific ocean
Can you imagine not holding every single human on this planet accountable for destroying the planet
Can someone show this to the Canadian government so they can see the damage the trans mountain pipeline could cause
D89t ** I’m so jealous that you live in a country that acknowledges environmental issues and isn’t run by Donald Trump.
D89t ** Them don’t be friends with America and develope our heavy industries in the midland regions of Canada.
Who loves orca Like 💕🐋
Don't tell seaworld, they will take them!
Empty the tanks!!!!!!
M1TheWraith lol
they can't do that not anymore
With the drones and all... They will use them to hunt any kind of whale.

Sea World hasn't captured a single Orca for 35 years now and isn't planning to do so in the future.
A year ago, they announced to cancle the breeding program and shift the common orca shows from entertainment to education that are about their behaviors and social interaction
They are also redesigning their aquariums to respond to this to imitate the orcas' natural surrounding.
A step that is overdue, I guess.
And drones are always only used to keep track of the orcas or to check if everything is alright when Sea World Rescue Teams release animals that had prior gotten injured.
Omg how cute is the baby swimming 🥰 6:01
We need to save our orcas they are a very important part of our environment and we need to keep them safe from whatever is killing these beautiful animals. I want to help save these animals. Please let me know how
Maybe people need to protest in the street making huge media coverage?
**BOYCOTT SEAWORLD!!**
& Get everyone you know to, also.
Watch "BLACKFISH"!! &.. GET EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO WATCH IT TOO...... 😭😥😢
@@cy4330 Been doing that for 35-40yrs!! ....but ppl keep paying to see them 'perform' in chlorinated BATHTUBS, then go home, while SEAWORLD lock the Orca up all night in separate tanks they can't even turn around in....
While 'HUMANS' PARTICIPATE IN THIS, SEAWORLD HAVE NO REASON TO SHUT THE ORCA SHOWS DOWN.
Rom B it’s sick what sea world has done I can’t even wrap my brain around it how it happened for so long the hell was never illegal to do that they ripped them from their families and from the wild where they can’t even go down far enough to protect themselves from the Sun that’s burning them it’s disgusting
@@aliciadantini338 I know... 😭
Seriously, how much fish do we really need to eat?
Kisses to the Orcas.
Humans: responsible for the situation being dire.
Also humans: can we take credit for this good news?
That’s such a fascinating thought, that they have their respective cultures and eat certain culturally accepted foods while avoiding possibly “taboo,” foods.
If you are watching this in 2018 you should know that J50 unfortunately passed in September. This "baby boom" in 2015 is the last time this pod has produced any viable calfs.
Love baby orca mom and her friends.
To everyone in their feelings crying out, "Orca are not whales, they are dolphins!" Dolphins ARE toothed whales. Another well known toothed whale is the Sperm Whale. You know what else Orca and Sperm whales have in common, besides having teeth? They use echolocation. Yup, that is a toothed whale thing. Blue, Minke, Humpback and the other whales that have baleen are called Baleen whales.
we the human race are responsible for making sure orcas and all other animals and fish have a reasonable life..i know theres a food chain but why do we always have to be at the top taking more than our share..we act so untitled and that means everything else has to suffer
It is probably killing SeaWorld to see all these cash cows swimming free.
good
What made such a dramatic difference in 4 years.. And they just put this on national news when Tallequahs baby died when this video 4 years ago was crucial. So sad we wait till the last minute to truly care.
WOW... THIS IS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO :) THANKS FOR SHARING :)
Heartbreaking. I hate captivity but I just want to use capture to help the population. There has to be hope and help. They’re so precious and special
Capturing these whales is OUT OF THE QUESTION! Do you know how traumatic and violent a capture would be for them? This community has already had to deal with SeaWorld ripping babies away from their clans!
We all want to help them, but a capture isnt the way to do it. Increase to the number of salmon that they can feed on will be more effective and will help the population to recover.
Capture doesn't help them ever...it kills them quickly and makes their killers millions...
God watch over these beautiful animals
I love the offices they are so beautiful. I would love to swim with them. He'll I just want to see them. Been to California 5 times and not seen one. That's my dream got see them and the dolphins. Love them.please save them.we need our beautiful animals.Terri
I sleep with a large stuffed Orca Whale/dolphin named Oreo every night, he makes me feel less lonely. He says Hi. 👋 Don’t understand how you could hurt such beautiful creatures.
🙋
Hi Oreo
is there any chance of refraining public from catching salmon in that area, also to breed primarily chinook salmon, which is the fav food of Southern Resident Orcas
Queennie a.k.a. Adelene I guess you mean private persons with "public"? Not a native english speaker, sorry. In that case: Those private persons can keep fishing, they don't take much, of what's available. Cutting the travel roots of salmons with dams, and industrial fishing is way more of an issue.
Tq u 4 the video
I heard we are literally fishing the oceans dry.
Can you find orca off the east coast of America or only the west coast because I have been to the east coast but never saw anything
Sadly, J 50, the baby Orca that jumped out of the water died last year. From 81 whales in the Southern Resident whale they are down to 75 today. Praying that we are not too late.
There was 74 after J50 died. Now with the birth of a new baby in J and L pod, the number is 76. There was not 81 whales when Scarlet was alive...
💔💔🥺
That's awesome!
It's time to stop fishing! We are eating their food!
I really enjoyed this btw : )
Yes, or, at least for the type of salmon they eat.
BIG HUNGRY
okay that was a long time ago but still disgusting
Missmollymoox so dumb
BIG HUNGRY humans eating humans is a very interesting (gag worthy too) way of saving the oceans/planet, very interesting point of view
Amazing
“He got some air! That was cool!”
One problem with biologist’s assessment of culture and feeding - humans will even eat each other if starving. I wonder if orcas really are that “picky” or if there are some genetic differences that require the other diets.
The resident killer whales eat nothing other than salmon. They culturally wont eat anything else.
Excellent, Amazing Your Vedeos we Love for Watching, thanks
there is litteraly no Point of having them in tanks. they are playful as they are in the wild. go there to Watch them instead.
In this day and age with everything we know- who the hell is still attending sea world? What joy do you get watching beautiful creatures perform like slaves?
You have no whale blow. Incredible animals
Wolves of the sea. What a great sight to see first thing in the morning.
Sustainable fishing. We need to stop feeding our gluttony. We made ourselves the stewards of this planet. It has allowed us to progress beyond anything imaginable. But as stewards we have a responsibility for each and every other species we share this beautiful blue marble. About time we paid attention to that responsibility
the reporters name is chris brown xD
And.. I went to middle school with a Chris brown
Supadupaswankn 47 Yeah it’s not that rare of a name
I believe the orca that had traversed around our country had caused many whale and dolphin strandings like 4 or so strandings in a week.
Orcas have nothing to do with strandings of other dolphins or whales. Cetaceans strand for a wide range of reasons - if they are sick or injured, confusion, hunting mistakes, sonar blasts, migration mistakes, strong waves can push them towards the beach, ect.
J50 scarlet, died 2018 and her last sighting was her being “awfully skinny, experiencing peanut head syndrome”
J51 Nova, is almost 9 years old.
L121 windsong 8 years old
J52 sonic, died 2017, described as skinny.
L122 magic, 8 years old, still a living boy.
However, in 2023 there were 3 new orcas.
L126 Ken
L127 Scuba
J60 presumed dead.
JUST LEAVE 'EM ALONE AND STOP OVER FISHING
We Love Sooke!
Pregnant Orcas beached due to hunger. Sad! Sound is their world so I think sounds would reasonable hurt them! Tilly looked so emancipated before he died. Rip.
And j50 passed away in 2018 wtf are we doin to save them !
If you can stock lakes why not inlets where pods congregate.
seems this water around Vancouver is without fish for the orcas so they should organize a large aqua park with salmons and feed the orcas. Otherwise, they will eventually leave.
The orca died with condition of badly malnourish? That surely heartbreaking..
the living creature who live in the ocean is starving for salmon? What a sad..sad irony.. 😢😢😢
i'm saddened to see a pregnant orca died of malnourishment. i hope there will be a breeding progrom for their favorite food which is the salmon...but by looking at the polution and global warming stage, i think the chances of surviving for these salmon could be pretty slim, sigh!
why are they trying to put a positive spin on them dying out from starvation
How about putting an end to ALL whaling and overfishing? That might be a huge help to getting calves to maturity.
Eat fresh water fish only, and leave the salt water fish to the whales and sea life.
so the dead orca starved to death. humans to blame again! I'm getring tired of my species.
ffi1001 And over fishing the oceans
The whales r swimming to the coast line of Oregon and Washington to give birth. It's warmer for them
orcas aren't whales. they're dolphins.
Semplicemente meraviglioso giuliano da genova 🐧🐧🐧
Lets stop eating salmon
I dont understand why they haven't figured out a better way of getting salmon past the dams.
@@americanabulldog2465 they wont even look into it because the more they do, the more clear it is they shouldnt have built the dams in the first place
why did these men keep saying that orca is a whale, while actually it's a dolphin?
Porpoise
Orcas are part of the Toothed Whale family and they are part of the Dolphin family. They are in fact small toothed whales, as are all members of the dolphin family.
All dolphins and porpoises are in the whale order. They are in the whale family so they are whales.
Wow
How is there a course of concern? When they can swim any were in the world??
Because these ones are resident and local to that area. Most people in my city never leave their own city their entire lives and it's unheard of them too. Guess resident orca's are like these humans lol.
Resident killer whales like these do venture out to sea during the winter months, but they return to the same waters during the spring and summer. They come to the Salish Sea to raise children and hunt for the annual salmon runs. Because they return to the same local area every year, they are known as Resident whales.
The resident killer whales are facing starvation because of a lack of food. The snake river dams block vital salmon breeding grounds and prevent thousands young salmon from reaching the ocean again. If the dams were to be bypassed (which is a very easy thing to do) the number of Chinook Salmon would rise and the whales would have enough to eat. They also face pollution, fishing, and noise disturbances, but the need for food is the most pressing issue.
damsense.org/
Transient killer whales are the ones that roam the oceans in search of marine mammals to hunt and feed on.
Turn out to be a sad story. J50 (Scarlet) died in 2018. At least L121 (Windsong) seems to have survived thus far.
What an amazing world! Hopefully we don't destroy it
Sadly their babies are dying now at an alarming rate :(
Look how cute that little guy is haha how can any one soport whale captivity they are picky but they adapt all the time
"Oooh, I got sprayed...Oooh, I got sprayed again!"... With Orca snot!
Oh my goodness, the poor mother was malnourished, that's heartbreaking. I wonder how much BP has to do with this?
If I was a seal I’d try to be near the southern resident Orcas 😂
don't forget about the salmon farms that are so badly contaminated and are contaminating the wild salmon.
Give them more Salmon to eat so that they will be around more in the future
everybody on that boat should be wearing a life vest.
❤❤❤❤❤
I thought that water "stairs" had been constructed around the dams for the salmon to swim past the dams....
Who is the man speaking at :56? I recognize him
not one person on that boat was wearing a life vest...... not even the toddler
