Shamu attacks and kills Pelican during show

- I was at SeaWorld San Diego on the 20th Feb 08 and attended the Shamu Killer Whale "Believe" show. During this show, Shamu lived up to his Killer Whale name.
During the show a Pelican landed on the water. This proved to be a big mistake for this unfortunate bird. To capture this video I guess I was in the right place at the right time...I wish I could say the same for the Pelican.
Suddenly out of nowhere one of the whales lunged at it from underneath the water, caught it in it's jaws, and dragged the bird under the water, thus drowning it. The other whales in the pool, with the exception of the whale that was at the front of the pool with a girl from the audience, all disappeared under the water ignoring their trainers.
You can clearly see the trainer in the forground use the intercom to tell the others to get the Pelican off the water or to distract the whales from going near it. Obviously this didn't work. As the whale gets the Pelican, you can see the trainer in the foreground put his hands to his head and yell at the trainers on the main stage. He then pushes the girl from the audience back away from the water and clear of any danger.
At this point the show's music was still blaring out of the speakers, but it was obvious to the audience the show had not gone as planned. Some of the trainers tried to continue on as if nothing had happened and continued the dance moves. Meanwhile the whales still hadn't surfaced and had their catch at the bottom of the pool. Eventually one whale did surface, as did the limp body of the pelican. The whales then pushed it around the surface for a while and then tore it apart in front of the audience.
Eventually the trainers got back the attention of the whales and managed to lure them backstage to the holding pen, leaving bits of pelican floating around in the pool. Once the trainers had the whales securely locked up, they then went about retrieving the Pelican parts from the pool. Since the show had been cut short, the bewildered audience responded with clapping and cheering as each part of the Pelican was retrieved from the pool.
Upon leaving the pool and entering the back stage viewing area, I was amazed to see the behaviour of one of the whales who was regurgitating either parts of the recently killed pelican, or maybe it was fish, and it was feeding them to a group of birds near the pool. It almost seemed like it was trying to lure the birds closer and grab one of them. The trainers witnessed this too, and given what had just happened during the show, they distracted the whales from this area and held them at the other end of the pool until the audience had left the area.
I guess what the audience witnessed during this show is that even though these animals appear to be domesticated in captivity, they are still wild animals and their "Killer Whale" instincts are still in tact. Having witnessed what I did, there is no way I'd get in the pool with them.
UA-cam will only let me upload 10 minutes of this footage but I have heaps more. Unfortunately the video as presented here on UA-cam is very grainy. The origanal footage is much clearer as it was shot in High Definition and in 16:9 Wide Screen.
The music does NOT go with this 😂😂💀
It must be part of the show.
people laughing like it was part of the show
ngvar Iversen Gilberg 7C Rosendalskolen-what?...all the orca did was what it would normally do in the wild....it even showed the family behavior od sharing the meal with the rest of the Pod...it's entertaining..we watch this on TV all the time on national geographic....and who really cares....jeez ..it's not like anyone was harmed by it....need a safe space or something..maybe some crayons?..at least seaworld is stopping all of this public stuff with orca's,but i am glad i did get to see them up close for once.
It's a wild animal. It is normal for them to kill. I'm not surprise that it kill'd a pelican
Azirys Garcia Me:hey look they can cach ther own food.If they know how to hunt they can go back to the sea😊.
SeaWorld:No😠
Me:O COME ON😠😠!!!
Azirys Garcia yea i am not that suprise that is just normal
yes true it could kill a human if its watnts to but its just normal for it to kill it.
Azirys Garcia it was so funny to watch all that carnage lol!!!
Azirys Garcia they kill human becaus they are wild animals like you said and when they were really young they were stoled from hims familys
good lord
for those who can't wait, it's at 1:53
I'm tearing up, oh my goodness. Poor thing! I think I'm going to cry.
1:14 to see what happen from the start.
turner pike you mean 01:12
That is just how wild life works😕
We are EVERYWHERE
bit of evidence that they shouldnt be in captivity
toby fenns If you want to save these animals join or donate to the IFAW they are a organization that help endangered, animals that are going extinct and animals that are in captivity. They are the number 1 animal organization in the world they have also beena around for 40 years
Lol, by that logic cats, dogs, chickens, birds, bears, tigers, lions and a whole bunch of other animals that have killed smaller animals don't belong in captivity.
bro nothing does
toby fenns So do you have any actual proof of your claim? Any scientific documents from verified sources? Any results from recent experiments? Any unbiased research? Do you have any proof that doesn't come from some animal rights nutter organization?
seriously XD its a living thing with a brain and emotions it should not be locked up how is that hard to see? why would you need evidence of what you already know. every living thing should be 8n control of their own lives.
This is called nature I understand that everyone is sad about the orcas being mistreated but the bird being killed was the most normal part of this whole thing
A reminder that they're wild animals and shouldn't be held prisoner for entertainment
Freak Show Ferret 🙌
Shamu doesnt want that dead fish that you feed him he wants something thag is alive that is how it is in the wild.

What does IFAW stand for?
CappyKitty. International Fund for Animal Welfare
All that carnage whilst the audience oddly pronouncing oohs and aahs, with trainers embarrassed in near panic, and Trump campaign music glaring loudly in the background.........this is so weird
Les Lori hahahahahahah trump campaign music
Bet those kids got a reality check that day haha killer whales are not loveabl sea creatures like they show in the cartoons
Dante Anderson most dangerous animal we have tamed
You should know that kids don't understand the world yet, yes, they are in captivity, and it may be considered cruel for some, but kids like seeing animals, it's something new for them I guess
Shamu got tired of fish and wanted KFC that night.
Shamu said nah man I'm good.....I just had a two piece wit wings on the side
The reaction most of the crowd had was disgusting. They acted as if it was part of the show and nothing happened. "Do you wanna go to the roller coaster next?" This honestly bothers me.
+Mr Freeze shut the fuck up
I know they were just laughing! Honestly, I think I would cry and hide my face.
Mr Freeze your a ass
name Name it normal for a whale to eat. Poor pelican happen to be the poor soul the whale choose! Whales eat that's nature! In other news do y'all see how small that tank is and they give that poor orca little space to swim and be a orca 😢
name Name what should honestly brother instead of a pelican getting ate is how these orcas are trapped in small tanks! No room to swim , they get upset fight each other attack their trainers, and have killed trainers! Because honestly had that been in the wild the pelican would have gotten ate to! It's the circle of life! Whales have to eat!
Crew: *gets all body parts*
Crew:.....so guys..now😐..what are we gonna tell boss😬
Turns out they call them killer whales for a reason
Can't do any better for a killer whale than a live morsel. When they see the easy opportunity for a fresh meal, they take it. Delicious bird meat, I'm sure for these captive whales that's a luxury
it showed that they were really hungry and would go after fresh meat rather than dead fish!
So much for "They won't survive in the wild because they don't know how to hunt"...seems like they know EXACTLY what to do! 💜
Must have been a blast for the whales, finally some change and excitement!
The whales probably saw it as extra food they don't get feed as much as the would in the wild and they shared it together as they would in the wild
What do you think its gonna do?
Avery Thompson did
Step right up! Free pelican feathers to the first 100 guests.
Probably one of the best meals they have ever had in captivity.

Now as an adult i realized this tank environment is really not the rigth place for the Orcas. They need to out in open waters. The tank almost seems like imprisonment for along with being slaves for entertainment.
All these animals should be free....do no t support Sea world, circuses or anything that exploits animals
Davina Test 🙌
Davina Test I do share your facts about SeaWorld circuses zoos and so forth it makes my stomach turn to see what they do with them poor animals it should be left in the wild they're not called wild animals for a reason
My goodness the least thing the whales could have done would be to at least finish eating the whole bird. Wasting food like that. 😂😂😂
Can't take the "wild" out of the animal. It's hard wired behavior.
Theyre animals. Its. Their territory.
You cant just expect them to ignore it.
I would actually praise the whales for killing the pelican , its instinct and they havent been really testing that so it's pretty amazing that they know how to kill something after years of being kept in a cage being hand fed ❤️
And yes , rip pelican. But. Its nature , things gotta die :)
"Reasons why SeaWorld has been closed."
Fun fact:Killer whales are actually a specie of dolphins
rip pelican
I was at this show and this scared me for life
Overtime if you really observe them the show performances starts to put stress on them. Also, this is totally different from their natural environment.
Screw the show! We having chicken today.
They got tired of fish to eat
What is the problem ? they were not meant to be for show or controlled.
Ok, 1. This is not funny people... Why is the crowd not acting like they care? 2. They're probably gonna punish the orca for doing that, poor thing. 3. Also the orca whales need to be left alone in the wild. WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
1 Pelicans are assholes
2 You want a candle light vigil?
3 What wild? Humans have ruined everything.
Difficult to control an animal in an attack state
I thought Shamu died years ago. And that she was female!
She is a female and most female orcas can live up to be 80 years old but I am not sure if that is the same Shamu
The music was fitting...
I started from watching big bens last chimes to THIS!?!!?!!
Not to be a bummer but shamu is dead
Grace Gilliard sad 😞
Afdbo2 Advanced I found out because I went to one of "his" shows and my mom dad old me he was dead
Lel shamu died lel
Ok, before you all get mad that they took the pelican out of the water just realize that it would be bad for the kids, imagine little Tom ask his mom why shamu is eating that bird.
do you guys think the pelican is ok?? i mean its only a flesh wound
Did they beat the whales to punish them?
Do you have a Dog? Do you allowed him to run free? When there are Rabbits,what will happens,is the Dog now a freaking Killer?
They tore his lil tale up
if the show was killer whales hunting and killing shit it would be way better
That music's still playing while they eat it😂
yo that normal for a orca to kill it's prey that's what they do
It's normal for the momma killer whale to show her babies how to hunt and kill. Its normal 😂 . They work together to hunt food and work together to eat it too
Love the happy music as everyone is concerned
I know it normal for a whale to kill a pelican but poor pelican😫
Это представление кормёжки касаток ?! Отвратительно! Под музыку съели живое существо😮
what if Shamu was red and people called him "Red Shamu"
What is that
A bunch of orcas eating a pelican with disneyland music, lol
Welcome to the real magical kingdom kids
Wtf, was the a pelican or big bird from Sesame Street!?!?!?!?....lol
Les spectateurs sont fautifs de leurs captivités ,! sans spectateurs , pas d ' orques en captivités !
I thought that man at the beginning was shamu
Why are the people laughing i know its normal but they don't have to laugh like wtf do they realy understand nothing 😡😡
1:13 💘💖You'll thank me later
thank you
So you're telling me??? Every wild animal that kills something is gonna be died??? First it was Shamu then tikilum then that gorilla I forgot his name, I'm so ashamed to be a human but I love myself but No
Sad. But they are just doing what come natural. This is normal
First of all they are idiots to even let the bird close by the water ? Where the whales could clearly eat it 🙄 ugh this makes me mad
It flew in the trainers couldn't do anything
this is so sad
Hahaha I guess they just wanted a Snack XD
Yes the song said it for fuck sake it needs to be in the sea where it grow up in its pod all the wales are kidnapped don't go to sea world
Sea world is know not to have great practices in the treatment of their whales.... karma... I'd say...
omg they have to eat some think
Als je dat ook ziet. 4 walvissen in zo een klein klote badje. brrrrrrr.
THUG LIFE
Sea life or sea world whatever let the whale go so it can be free
umm.. that's what whales do... nothing shocking or traumatizing.. what should be shocking and traumatizing are the poor whales being captured against their will and subjected to this circus act!! I guess Mr. whale was hungry and did what comes natural.. kind of like when we eat burgers and steaks huh?? I can't wait for the day we all teach our children this is not ok and end captive circus acts!!
what do you expect huh
sick and wrong-=-just a matter of time-=-someone will be hurt and or killed-=-portraying a top predator in this inane show is a travesty.
Lol everyones laughing poor pelican
