Nothing to do with wildlife but still a great documentary “Super Size Me 2”!!! They have the original Super Size Me, but even without watching the first one I watch the 2nd one first out of Curiosity I watched the first one Super Size Me, but that just gave me a back ground to #1 and did not find it necessary or as enjoyable as Super Size Me 2.
Humans are best species on the planet, and most beautiful as well, what we acomplished in science, culture , architecture, exploration canot be matched by anything on this planet.
My favorite part is when the docu maker with camera man befriended the young elephant seals is so adorable! My heart warms a lot I goes to see that seals can also show the virtue of friendship toward humans.
I love how the researcher is wondering what the whales think of him and the part of him chilling with all the penguins. The way he got upclose to that elephant seal fight! Wow what a great documentary
I love how he can literally stand in the water while the orcas hunt seals, it shows that they really have no intetest in hurting humans. The only time they ever attack us if we put them in captivity and abuse them.
It’s completely asinine to think an apex mammal hunting predator wouldn’t give us a bite if it was hungry enough. Respect these animals and the threat they pose to us.
@@Ghost-tw7xw If you put a hungry and desperate predator in a situation where a human is the only option for a meal it’s going to eat the human. Thinking they won’t because they “respect and understand us” is not showing the deference that nature deserves.
The visuals of the abandoned, then orphaned, then rejected seal pup it's beyond heartbreaking. You can feel the little fellow's despair, he knows what's coming. He tried to follow his mother. His mother looks back towards her pup, she does not want to leave him, but she has no choice, her strength is gone.. Deeply sad.

It's not a "cute squeaky sound" its a highly sophisticated language that we can not under stand. We have researched the shit out of their language and have gotten nowhere. That "cute squeaky sound" is different from all other orca pods. Every orca pod has their own language and not one pod has the same language as another. Also the males never leave their mothers. Their whole lives they are no more than 10 ft from their mothers. If they get bullied by other male orcas. They'll stay on the outside of the pod. In which they'll eventually come back into it but pods never break or never fully kick out another orca. This is also why releasing them from captivity could have horrible results. They don't speak the same language as other pods so they wont be accepted in, only to their pod, which may be impossible to find

The Orcas in crystalline water swimming amongst swirling kelp was so moving and beautiful. How anyone can justify keeping these incredible creatures in captivity is beyond my understanding.
Agreed. They really suffer. I read a book that a SeaWorld trainer wrote. He said the Orcas get sunburn, the pool water is to warm and they get rashes, they are given anti acids for stomach ulcers. They bang their head's against the cement in the pool. They chew on the cement out of boredom. They break their teeth. A few whales have killed themselves from banging their heads against the cement really hard. They with hold food so they perform. They breed the female Orcas to early. Babies are still born. Or they take their baby away. The mom cries for day's. It's so heartbreaking.
Why do we attribute "human" to kindness? The other animal world is full of accounts of 'kindness". And why do we think everything is out to get us and when it shows that it isn't...wow!...what a human-like behaviour? Humanity has shown such incredible deliberate cruelty towards every other species - and including its own- that we should be also then surprised when we are kind. Humans are like all other critters....some good and some bad and it is us that makes that distinction based on our own perception of the world - which I am sure is very different from a snail or an orca.
Gerry S - According to Atheist cult Priest Richard Dawkins, "there is no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but pointless indifference." So in 'honor' of "atheism", which is absurd and truthfully to mock the absurdity of the notion of a lack of belief, let's all kill the whales, shall we? No such thing as evil according to Atheist Priest dawkins, remember?
Real Estate Unplugged you are taking something out of context and bending it to make a point of your own here about religion. I doubt Dawkins would agree with your depiction of his position. But moreover, Religion has nothing to do with this here.
This is my new favorite piece of filmmaking. Never in my life have I appreciated more cinema, documentaries or nature itself. Pure art. Thank you so, so much.
More like, he puts a script into it. He knew damn well the answer to that fake question. He really poured on the "aw shucks mister" vibe. Seems any normal person's first thought playing with the seal under water is "this is NOT safe for you buddy" and wouldn't have encouraged play time in a death trap area, knowing full well the young seal was a rookie to the dangers of the sea and the killers in that immediate area waiting for a meal. I would have been nervous for the seal and wouldn't have distracted the seal by playing in a dangerous area, but likely this 'super nice guy' was thinking if it gets eaten it'll make epic up close footage.
This is such an extraordinary documentary!!! one can only wonder the amount of courage needed to live there in such harsh environment and for 4 LONG MONTHS, amidst potentially dangerous animals. thank you for the hardwork, David, Jean-Francois and team!!!
jetpack johnny Let me get this straight; you promise me something that has to do with my personality and you don’t even know me.. you seem like a bright guy
This documentary has ended, I wish it never would. Makes me cry tears of joy, for watching these fabulous creatures. I love these animals, the orcas, penguins, seals, birds. How could any person harm them? It is really hideous. I hope these animals become protected, especially the orcas. Thank you so much for filming. Amazing work!
Such a beautiful documentary! My sincere admiration for the whole team. The way he blended into the environment along with the animals was so surreal. They accepted him too because of his pure heart, they could sense his wonder and good intentions and reciprocated!👏🏼👏🏼😊
I knew orca's were smart, but damn, they really do have their own culture. I'm stunned by this honestly, and also fascinated Edit: Damnit, now I'm crying
I met a commercial fisherman in Alaska and he really respected the orca's, even though they would steal his catch, etc. In his view nothing else in the sea measured up for size, power and intelligence. It was nice to meet a guy, who despite the economic challenges the orca's presented, still thought they were of such great value and should be looked after. When he talked about them, you could see the smile on his face and how he treasured the occasional interaction.
@@davecrupel2817 The second most intelligent life form on this planet is a dolphin. They have an estimated EQ of around 5.26. For comparison a human has an EQ of 6.56 to 7.28 or higher. The EQ of an orca is around 2.50 or 2.61. Dolphins are extremely intelligent and are some of the only few animals that display self-awareness. Orangutans Are very intelligent as well with an EQ of around 4.5. Chimpanzees are better than humans in some memory tasks. Goats have excellent long-term memory. Elephants can work together. Parrots can reproduce sounds of the human language. Dolphins can recognize themselves in the mirror. New Caledonian crows understand cause-and-effect relationships. Scrub jays plan for the future. There are many categories of intelligence. Many animals display different abilities of intelligence. Chimpanzees have a better memory than humans. I guess it all just depends on your interpretation of intelligence.
Excellent documentary. Nature and the balance of it is so beautiful, yet so tragic. I could not stop crying for the baby orphan because he was so cute, and so innocent. He just became a victim of the circle of life and as sad as it is, it is also the very concept that keeps nature balanced.
I for one am glad you befriended the baby seals. That orphan had me in tears. I also was yelling at you a bit during the fight. You were so small and so close. This was great.
The orphan seal pup broke my heart. I'm a grown man , a veteran, a former boxer, that pup made me cry , my heart hurts. I can't watch the rest of this until later.
How could the world be so beautiful, without wars, without the pursuit of money and more and more prosperity. This film shows how humans and animals could live together peacefully. A unique, unprecedented wonderful film. Thanks for uploading!!
True but balanced when not effected by man; whether by accidental introduction of foreign species or fauna, nature keeps things balanced. They don’t overeat or over breed or even inter breed when left alone! Great inner intelligence ! Loved this documentary! 🌺🏹

William Thomas Ramey isn’t it amazing how our intuition tells us they are super intelligent? they are actually the second most intelligent being besides humans which is amazing and it is quite clear why they have been dubbed the second most intelligent being, they are so human like, yet so alien which is pretty beautiful and call me crazy but there is such a connection to them and it makes me wonder if we have a deep past with them perhaps or something even more complex and I suppose that might play into the aquatic ape theory (it’s a really intriguing theory that is about as credible as the standard theory of human evolution, Look it up)but setting that aside even still, it’s astonishing this connection that we have to them and even your run of the mill dolphin, they even help us fish for Christ sakes! Also, sorry for such an essay but I have been very interested in this subject recently. Cheers man.
Toxic Waffle they aren’t the second smartest though? Like I know thats a very debatable subject, most of the time internet pages choose bottlenose dolphins as the second smartest
Adrián Medina yeah i saw that too and it’s hard to judge the “intelligence” of anything, I’m not sure why I haven’t changed/taken down my comment because I don’t really agree with what I said although I do still think orcas are very “intelligent” creatures
@MetraMan09 the fact is human food just doesn’t contain enough nutrients for its rapid growth. So it’ll eventually starve no matter how much food you give it
Person is smart. He will feed this one but how many such babies like that on the beach. Sadly! It's natural selection. Heartbreaking to see but nature is wild.
@Miss Isle .... Are you insane? Nature is cruel? It is neither cruel nor benevolent. It just is a cycle. Humans have broken that cycle and defile every quarter inch of the world we step on with full on megafarms. Have you not seen Chernobyl? Humans did that, and nature reclaimed that human made catastrophe and will continue to lick the wounds humans inflict on the world. Give me a break.
That was amazing!!! The way you interacted with the seal pups was hysterical and fascinating at the same time. Also, diving into the sea with one of the top predators took a lot of courage. I think I understand what you mean when you say you understood what the Orcas were conveying to you. Be it subtle as a mouth wide open (as you put it) you could somehow know that mutual respect was attained by both species. I do not know why this documentary isn't seen by more viewers. This documentary has taken first place with me. Kudos to you and whoever else was there filming and studying the wildlife down there. Top notch stuff. The animals you studied were the stars of the show, but you also should be commended for your role in this video.
I'd say he was fairly safe with a large film crew filming him whilst he was filming them, I'm guessing what he was filming was for personal use as none of his footage is actually in this documentary. Nice documentary all the same, but I doubt his tent blowing away would really be an issue when there is likely to be a solid structure where the rest of the crew are staying
I don't understand how this video doesn't have 1 trillion likes the amount of effort that went into making this I don't even know how the hell they made this wtf so amazing
It’s an amazing documentary, but that’s actually not true! There is good documentation of orcas with childlike personalities that constants need to be corrected/saves up to a certain age lol
I simply don't believe what I've seen here 😯 This is better than BBC!! Beside the amazing quality of the footage and of the editing, what an incredible empathy with the wild ❤.... not to mention diving with orcas, let's appreciate also the sincere serenity felt and spread among elephant seals and penguins. The purity of your heart is so evident that it's recognized by the animals and arrive to us too. What an incredible life you've deserved to live, men 👏👏 Thank you for sharing with us 🙏
This is one of the most therapeutic nature documentaries that I have seen. It is informative and also very very calming. I watch it whenever I feel stressed, and suddenly am transported into another world. Really well done!
Bram Steenhoek of course they fucking are. If they’re hungry enough they will gobble your ass up like a goddamn snack. Just cause there aren’t any recorded attacks doesn’t mean that it never happened.
Eustace King With how much bullshit you're talking, you would make an excellent farm. There have been only 2 recorded orca attacks on humans in the wild and none were fatal. The ones that resulted in human deaths occurred in captivity. Are orcas physically capable of devouring a human? Yes Do they do it? No And here’s why: They know exactly what they are looking for, to eat; just as you may look at an apple tree, and choose to eat the apples and not the leaves of the tree. Around the world, there are Orcas that like to eat sharks. Others like to eat sting rays but not fish. Others like seals and fish, but not sharks. There are Orcas that eat almost exclusively whales; Gray Whales, Bowhead, Beluga, even the unicorn-horned Narwhal. None of them like humans, because they have not been taught that humans are food. Unlike other apex predators like lions and others, they do not go after anything and everything that moves. They have been taught what to eat, by others in the pod, by their parents, by their grandparents. Why did the word get around that humans are not food? It’s very possible that they would have trouble with our bones. Our long bones are longer and thicker than any other animal that they do entirely consume. They don’t have to get a bone stuck in their throat to understand that something with these long thin appendages might not go down easily. They can see we are alien looking, and things that aren’t fat and compact are not attractive… don’t look scrumptious. Obviously, they can’t swallow us whole. That would leave two options; crunching us up, which would create sharp bone splinters that would be dangerous in their throat… or, they could bite the meat from around our bones, as they do with prey such as walruses, or large whales. Clearly, we aren’t big enough, muscular enough, or blubbery enough to allow them to do that. So… the bottom line is… we are not on their menu. We don’t make a good meal, and in fact, trying to eat us may be dangerous if they try to chew us up. At Thanksgiving Dinner, we don’t just eat an entire turkey… it has bones that would harm us if we did that. We cut the meat off. Orcas don’t chew us up, for the same reason. And they can’t cut (bite) the meat off. So, once again… we are not on their menu.
@@orcawithdrip827 I think they understand that humans are really smart and a possible threat to them so they act friendly to us.. I've seen a lot of orcas showing their belly to human which is a friendly sign.
This is by far the best the best documentary I have seen. Of all the animals This Man filmed he had physical contact with them all. Very calm and very loving towards nature. Even the big boys became quite calm around him as well. I so love this. Even at the end the small birds of the year flocked around him and had contact. Loved it loved it loved it. This is when I can watch over and over again. And certainly can pass it on to others. Great job
this documentary is truly awesome not because the cameraman is bold and gets as close as 5 feet to orcas and male elephant seals but he puts his feeling into it "is he going to catch my seal friend" a truly chill person with animals and life itself
You see, wild animals are peaceful and kind and only kill to eat. Imagine there was a time when animals had not learned how bad humans are when birds would land around you or on your shoulders. I am glad you showed the kindness of wild animals and i hope many people will learn from it.
What a beautiful documentary. The wildlife were very inquisitive of this hooman staying on their land. Loved the interaction with the seals. Orcas have every right to be wary of man, but the matriarch showed through her own fear and then wisdom, to learn to trust the man. They truly are magnificent creatures!
It’s almost depressing that there’s this piece of land so far south, where humans have not invaded, where life of marine mammals is so beautiful. Like really observing the seals was incredible. Amazing.
Oh my! I was emotional and I nearly cried by watching this wonderful and amazing video. I never skip a second of it because I am curious to know how are these Orcas react with the presence of human. I was amazed as well by the friendly manner of the seal. What an amazing and emotional story.
What a pleasure it was to experience this documentary. Thank you, for sharing this! I'd be thrilled to see more similar docs. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to explore them.
@H̵̡͟E ̨C̡͠O̶ME͘͢S͞ Dumbnumb... okay, lol. By the way, Orcas cannot bend their dorsal fin over like you said, it's either naturally curved or straight up. Get educated before making stupid and ignorant comments. Also learn to make jokes, cause that one wasn't funny.

Beautifully filmed and intimate glimpse into the natural environment and life cycles of the Orcas, Elephant Seals and King Penguins in an inhospitable and harsh environment. Personal sacrifice and dedication to pursue such an ambitious project is greatly appreciated.
this is incredible, best nature documentary ive seen. The way he connected with both species its trully breathtaking and the orcas intelligence never stops to amaze me
When he says “suddenly I feel alone, I am more fragile than the animals”... in terms of some layers of environmental comforts and body lily evolution such as blabber like the elephant seals for sure yes, the truth is for all wild animals, every single day is a victory of survival and life. So for this yes humans who capture the wonders of wild animals to this extreme, realise it is life or death daily. This is the way of life too, for many people around the world! Fantastic filming and absolute kudos for allowing those of us not without struggles... although can comfortably enjoy the amazing learning experience of such documenting, such majestic sea creatures both mammals and birds.
Great video! I can imagine it must be tough sometimes to remain in scientist mode and not step in to help the unfortunate individuals that were struggling to survive.
Wow what a wonderful video! The encounters with the Elephant Seal, the birds, the sea lions, and the Orcas at the end, what an amazing experience, so nicely and uniquely documented to share with us. You made friends with them all! :-) Well done, and thank you for this. :-)
Basically Orcas are literally the mob the ocean. The boss music that plays everytime the orcas showed up lol. He went there to bond with the orcas but ended up bonding way more with the seals. The orcas were just too gangster 😭

I like the squeaky sounds the orcas make. It's so cute
Also creepy making that cute sound when they are killing the seals.
It's not a "cute squeaky sound" its a highly sophisticated language that we can not under stand. We have researched the shit out of their language and have gotten nowhere. That "cute squeaky sound" is different from all other orca pods. Every orca pod has their own language and not one pod has the same language as another. Also the males never leave their mothers. Their whole lives they are no more than 10 ft from their mothers. If they get bullied by other male orcas. They'll stay on the outside of the pod. In which they'll eventually come back into it but pods never break or never fully kick out another orca. This is also why releasing them from captivity could have horrible results. They don't speak the same language as other pods so they wont be accepted in, only to their pod, which may be impossible to find
@@chakinfingerz947 Jeez way to turn an innocent comment into your little rant box. We're watching the docu, we already know this. Sit down and let some people comment on a squeaky noise that they enjoy.
@@icky7604 no where in my comment did I rant about something bad, or try to dismiss them from enjoying the sound. What someone tells you information of something and you're like, "No! Stop! I want to remain stupid!" fuck you and your negativity towards learning.
@@chakinfingerz947 Sorry for late reply, didn't see comment. When you add the quotations and stuff you sound passive aggressive. Once again, they're already watching to docu that says the info..Party pooper.
The Orcas in crystalline water swimming amongst swirling kelp was so moving and beautiful. How anyone can justify keeping these incredible creatures in captivity is beyond my understanding.
I know! People say nature is cruel. It's humans like that who are the real evil!
Agreed. They really suffer. I read a book that a SeaWorld trainer wrote. He said the Orcas get sunburn, the pool water is to warm and they get rashes, they are given anti acids for stomach ulcers. They bang their head's against the cement in the pool. They chew on the cement out of boredom. They break their teeth. A few whales have killed themselves from banging their heads against the cement really hard. They with hold food so they perform. They breed the female Orcas to early. Babies are still born. Or they take their baby away. The mom cries for day's. It's so heartbreaking.
It's the lack of understanding by others that makes them end up in cages. Not your lack of understand of ignorant people.
@@Bella-ht5jb9he3z Sounds like the series, The Handmaid's Tale. seriously!
What I don't get is why do wild orcas hunt dolphins? And they wound them and play with them like cats with mice
This took my breathe away. The camera man is super brave. Fearless and intelligent, fantastic watch.
One of my favorites was when he was scratching the seal's itch, took a nap & literally lying up against an elephant seal.
How kind. How human.
"How human". The signature of humanity ranges from the best to the most cruel and bestial behavior.
Why do we attribute "human" to kindness? The other animal world is full of accounts of 'kindness". And why do we think everything is out to get us and when it shows that it isn't...wow!...what a human-like behaviour? Humanity has shown such incredible deliberate cruelty towards every other species - and including its own- that we should be also then surprised when we are kind. Humans are like all other critters....some good and some bad and it is us that makes that distinction based on our own perception of the world - which I am sure is very different from a snail or an orca.
Gerry S - According to Atheist cult Priest Richard Dawkins, "there is no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but pointless indifference."
So in 'honor' of "atheism", which is absurd and truthfully to mock the absurdity of the notion of a lack of belief, let's all kill the whales, shall we? No such thing as evil according to Atheist Priest dawkins, remember?
Real Estate Unplugged you are taking something out of context and bending it to make a point of your own here about religion. I doubt Dawkins would agree with your depiction of his position. But moreover, Religion has nothing to do with this here.
Raph Ael - I came here to see the whales but the big question sprung up ☝. Are you with the Atheist cult master, Richard Dawkins?
I truly love this documentary.
I envy you for the peacefulness you experience.

Thanks for this
This is my new favorite piece of filmmaking. Never in my life have I appreciated more cinema, documentaries or nature itself. Pure art. Thank you so, so much.
Loved the orca rescue guy jumping in happiness
"Is she hoping to catch my seal friend?" paralyzed me. This documentary is truly wholesome because he put his feelings into it.
I can't take it!
More like, he puts a script into it. He knew damn well the answer to that fake question. He really poured on the "aw shucks mister" vibe. Seems any normal person's first thought playing with the seal under water is "this is NOT safe for you buddy" and wouldn't have encouraged play time in a death trap area, knowing full well the young seal was a rookie to the dangers of the sea and the killers in that immediate area waiting for a meal. I would have been nervous for the seal and wouldn't have distracted the seal by playing in a dangerous area, but likely this 'super nice guy' was thinking if it gets eaten it'll make epic up close footage.
Just makes it shit in my opinion :)
@@ikigai47there’s literally no such thing as “fake” questions
@@ikigai47He didn’t intentionally distract the seal, the seal came to him and played with him not the other way around.

This documentary has ended, I wish it never would. Makes me cry tears of joy, for watching these fabulous creatures. I love these animals, the orcas, penguins, seals, birds. How could any person harm them? It is really hideous. I hope these animals become protected, especially the orcas. Thank you so much for filming. Amazing work!
Not creatures pay attention!
Such a beautiful documentary!
My sincere admiration for the whole team. The way he blended into the environment along with the animals was so surreal. They accepted him too because of his pure heart, they could sense his wonder and good intentions and reciprocated!👏🏼👏🏼😊
I love how this is narrated like a 90s movie. A truely timeless piece of work
I knew orca's were smart, but damn, they really do have their own culture. I'm stunned by this honestly, and also fascinated
Edit: Damnit, now I'm crying
I met a commercial fisherman in Alaska and he really respected the orca's, even though they would steal his catch, etc. In his view nothing else in the sea measured up for size, power and intelligence. It was nice to meet a guy, who despite the economic challenges the orca's presented, still thought they were of such great value and should be looked after. When he talked about them, you could see the smile on his face and how he treasured the occasional interaction.
I consider Orcas the 2nd most intelligent lifeforms on this planet.
2nd only to us.
Dave Crupel there just as smart as us if not smarter
@@keithzacek7692 and i love that. :)
@@davecrupel2817 The second most intelligent life form on this planet is a dolphin. They have an estimated EQ of around 5.26. For comparison a human has an EQ of 6.56 to 7.28 or higher. The EQ of an orca is around 2.50 or 2.61. Dolphins are extremely intelligent and are some of the only few animals that display self-awareness. Orangutans Are very intelligent as well with an EQ of around 4.5. Chimpanzees are better than humans in some memory tasks.
Goats have excellent long-term memory.
Elephants can work together.
Parrots can reproduce sounds of the human language.
Dolphins can recognize themselves in the mirror.
New Caledonian crows understand cause-and-effect relationships.
Scrub jays plan for the future.
There are many categories of intelligence. Many animals display different abilities of intelligence. Chimpanzees have a better memory than humans. I guess it all just depends on your interpretation of intelligence.
Excellent documentary. Nature and the balance of it is so beautiful, yet so tragic. I could not stop crying for the baby orphan because he was so cute, and so innocent. He just became a victim of the circle of life and as sad as it is, it is also the very concept that keeps nature balanced.
Hope he gave it a good quick death
I for one am glad you befriended the baby seals. That orphan had me in tears. I also was yelling at you a bit during the fight. You were so small and so close. This was great.

How could the world be so beautiful, without wars, without the pursuit of money and more and more prosperity. This film shows how humans and animals could live together peacefully.
A unique, unprecedented wonderful film. Thanks for uploading!!
Nature isn't always peaceful.
True but balanced when not effected by man; whether by accidental introduction of foreign species or fauna, nature keeps things balanced. They don’t overeat or over breed or even inter breed when left alone! Great inner intelligence ! Loved this documentary! 🌺🏹

What a spectacular piece of work from you. For 50 minutes I completely lost in harmony of nature.
Orcas are so amazing. I'm convinced they are one of the most intelligent species on the planet, along with us, other dolphin type mammals and octopus.
William Thomas Ramey isn’t it amazing how our intuition tells us they are super intelligent? they are actually the second most intelligent being besides humans which is amazing and it is quite clear why they have been dubbed the second most intelligent being, they are so human like, yet so alien which is pretty beautiful and call me crazy but there is such a connection to them and it makes me wonder if we have a deep past with them perhaps or something even more complex and I suppose that might play into the aquatic ape theory (it’s a really intriguing theory that is about as credible as the standard theory of human evolution, Look it up)but setting that aside even still, it’s astonishing this connection that we have to them and even your run of the mill dolphin, they even help us fish for Christ sakes! Also, sorry for such an essay but I have been very interested in this subject recently. Cheers man.
Toxic Waffle they aren’t the second smartest though? Like I know thats a very debatable subject, most of the time internet pages choose bottlenose dolphins as the second smartest
William Thomas Ramey elephants, too...(edited: elephant brain largest land animal brain at 3x size of human.)
Adrián Medina yeah i saw that too and it’s hard to judge the “intelligence” of anything, I’m not sure why I haven’t changed/taken down my comment because I don’t really agree with what I said although I do still think orcas are very “intelligent” creatures
And elephants
Beautiful documentary. It shows the truth of life in the wild, and also just how smart and conscious orcas are.
Who else thinks this Doc. should be titled: "A Man among Elephant Seals"?
OR... the man in the yellow tent. 😂
I thought that as soon as I seen him sleeping next to them LOL
then came down here to see if anyone else commented about it 🤣

It’s heartbreaking watching this seal pups orphan.
Omg i cant deal with it so sad poor baby
@MetraMan09 the fact is human food just doesn’t contain enough nutrients for its rapid growth. So it’ll eventually starve no matter how much food you give it
@@lyd-ch1148 Realistically speaking you could make a compound good enough to feed them for weeks but most don't want to interfere with the nature
Person is smart. He will feed this one but how many such babies like that on the beach. Sadly! It's natural selection. Heartbreaking to see but nature is wild.
@Miss Isle .... Are you insane? Nature is cruel? It is neither cruel nor benevolent. It just is a cycle. Humans have broken that cycle and defile every quarter inch of the world we step on with full on megafarms. Have you not seen Chernobyl? Humans did that, and nature reclaimed that human made catastrophe and will continue to lick the wounds humans inflict on the world. Give me a break.
That was amazing!!! The way you interacted with the seal pups was hysterical and fascinating at the same time. Also, diving into the sea with one of the top predators took a lot of courage. I think I understand what you mean when you say you understood what the Orcas were conveying to you. Be it subtle as a mouth wide open (as you put it) you could somehow know that mutual respect was attained by both species. I do not know why this documentary isn't seen by more viewers. This documentary has taken first place with me. Kudos to you and whoever else was there filming and studying the wildlife down there. Top notch stuff. The animals you studied were the stars of the show, but you also should be commended for your role in this video.
Josh Mckenzie, Not sure how you were raised. My parents taught me how to not stoop low
Bill Dimock , Those were definitely gestures of gratitude. They remember. Highly intelligent animals there.
I'd say he was fairly safe with a large film crew filming him whilst he was filming them, I'm guessing what he was filming was for personal use as none of his footage is actually in this documentary.
Nice documentary all the same, but I doubt his tent blowing away would really be an issue when there is likely to be a solid structure where the rest of the crew are staying
It was their SEAL of approval
If I were to experience this documentary in real life, Id consider my life fulfilled.
It’s so beautiful

This is one of the most therapeutic nature documentaries that I have seen. It is informative and also very very calming. I watch it whenever I feel stressed, and suddenly am transported into another world. Really well done!
Exaxtly, same with me. Such a magnificent movie
The only thing bigger than the elephant seals is this guys balls for getting in the water with them Orcas. Respect.
Orcas aint dangerous towards men
Bram Steenhoek of course they fucking are. If they’re hungry enough they will gobble your ass up like a goddamn snack. Just cause there aren’t any recorded attacks doesn’t mean that it never happened.
Eustace King With how much bullshit you're talking, you would make an excellent farm.
There have been only 2 recorded orca attacks on humans in the wild and none were fatal. The ones that resulted in human deaths occurred in captivity.
Are orcas physically capable of devouring a human? Yes
Do they do it? No
And here’s why: They know exactly what they are looking for, to eat; just as you may look at an apple tree, and choose to eat the apples and not the leaves of the tree. Around the world, there are Orcas that like to eat sharks. Others like to eat sting rays but not fish. Others like seals and fish, but not sharks. There are Orcas that eat almost exclusively whales; Gray Whales, Bowhead, Beluga, even the unicorn-horned Narwhal.
None of them like humans, because they have not been taught that humans are food. Unlike other apex predators like lions and others, they do not go after anything and everything that moves. They have been taught what to eat, by others in the pod, by their parents, by their grandparents. Why did the word get around that humans are not food? It’s very possible that they would have trouble with our bones. Our long bones are longer and thicker than any other animal that they do entirely consume. They don’t have to get a bone stuck in their throat to understand that something with these long thin appendages might not go down easily. They can see we are alien looking, and things that aren’t fat and compact are not attractive… don’t look scrumptious. Obviously, they can’t swallow us whole. That would leave two options; crunching us up, which would create sharp bone splinters that would be dangerous in their throat… or, they could bite the meat from around our bones, as they do with prey such as walruses, or large whales. Clearly, we aren’t big enough, muscular enough, or blubbery enough to allow them to do that. So… the bottom line is… we are not on their menu. We don’t make a good meal, and in fact, trying to eat us may be dangerous if they try to chew us up. At Thanksgiving Dinner, we don’t just eat an entire turkey… it has bones that would harm us if we did that. We cut the meat off. Orcas don’t chew us up, for the same reason. And they can’t cut (bite) the meat off. So, once again… we are not on their menu.
@@orcawithdrip827 I think they understand that humans are really smart and a possible threat to them so they act friendly to us.. I've seen a lot of orcas showing their belly to human which is a friendly sign.
Disturbed Orca Okay, but would you jump off the boat and into a group of orcas looking for food?
This is by far the best the best documentary I have seen. Of all the animals This Man filmed he had physical contact with them all. Very calm and very loving towards nature. Even the big boys became quite calm around him as well. I so love this. Even at the end the small birds of the year flocked around him and had contact. Loved it loved it loved it. This is when I can watch over and over again. And certainly can pass it on to others. Great job

Blackfish also is a beautiful documentary
Orcas are more interesting than most of the people you will meet this month. They are an awesome, inspiring predator.
When he says “suddenly I feel alone, I am more fragile than the animals”... in terms of some layers of environmental comforts and body lily evolution such as blabber like the elephant seals for sure yes, the truth is for all wild animals, every single day is a victory of survival and life. So for this yes humans who capture the wonders of wild animals to this extreme, realise it is life or death daily. This is the way of life too, for many people around the world! Fantastic filming and absolute kudos for allowing those of us not without struggles... although can comfortably enjoy the amazing learning experience of such documenting, such majestic sea creatures both mammals and birds.
Great video! I can imagine it must be tough sometimes to remain in scientist mode and not step in to help the unfortunate individuals that were struggling to survive.
