That female carrying her calf for 17 days had to be mourning. She couldn't have been trying to keep it alive. She knew it was dead. They're mammals. The calf would have been nursing if it was alive. She was just really sad
In some cases families are given cooling cribs to store the corpse of a baby in so they can grieve. Some families carry their babies around for days. Many mothers mourn all over our planet. 😢
Ahreed. Aquariums, zoos, and ESPECIALLY Elephants tired to a pole with a rope walking in a circle with kids on it at carnivals, the Big E, and other fairs. I want to walk up and REEM the parents out for allowing it and tell them how awful they are and cruel for supporting these criminal low lives financially and giving them a reason to torture these poor animals. It breaks my entire heart!
I live on the Sea of Cortez. My wife and I witnessed this behavior with dolphins... 2 adults supporting a baby dolphin that was clearly dead. We watched for around 15 minutes, keeping a respectful distance.... then we left them to grieve in peace. Heartbreaking thing to see.
They are so smart! They have 2 medulla’s. Humans only have one. They are much smarter than humans and should never be held in captivity! With all of the technology we have, there is no need to put them in a fish bowl! They don’t live very long at all in captivity.
Not only can Killer Whales experience grief, but they can feel suicidal and actually try to take their own lives when they are trapped in captivity at human sea worlds and zoos.
How do you know this. I can agree that no one should be in captivity. Get rid of damn zoos. They did that to humans. The humans are still suffering especially in the USA.
@@Bry-n-I it doesn't necessarily constitute suicide... Maybe it died actually fighting for its life... As in, it was only trying to escape the container, break free, not knowing what would logically follow a busted tank.
@@rileyschilling9268 I’m not assuming anything that’s what they said on the documentary. I was watching. I’m just going out with the professional, but maybe y’all professional too. I don’t know.
How sad is that humans are considered the top of the food chain when humans are so completely disgusting, only humans killed each other and abuse and intentionally kill their children
They will do it for humans as well. Lawrence Anthony saved a herd of elephants from death and illegal poachers after being able to communicate to the matriarch to basically “don’t leave this area”. When he died of a heart attack the elephants showed up to his home (some traveling over a day) and held a vigil basically outside his home for two days. Then every year on the anniversary of his death they would come back and pay their respects to the man who saved them. It’s mind blowing how much humans overestimate themselves and underestimate animals.
So..I lived in San Diego..we were camping at the beach when we saw a school of dolphins circling one dolphin..finally after awhile..up popped a tiny, tiny baby dolphin..we released that we just saw a birth..so they helped the mother give birth and protected her
Pretty much anything with a brain and spinal cord has consciousness even though humans try not to acknowledge this. That’s what makes us all the same is that we have a brain and brains exist for thoughts, imagination, senses and so much more.
I lost a cat to grief when his cat friend was bitten by a venomous brown snake. We never found the dead cat's body, sadly and his friend grew more and more depressed. Within a year, he was too sick to save, had developed a tumor and I had to have him put down . I still grieve my two cats. My last cat now is an inside cat.There are too many dangerous creatures in Australia.
Definitely, I had a business of 5 ferrets and when one died they would keep sniffing & licking him & then lay on top of his body for a very long time. I always let my pets see the body of a pet who has passed away - otherwise they will be even more confused & sad & sometimes keep looking for them.
In my opinion, I believe Tahlequah, the Orca whom swam with her dead calf around for over two weeks, was trying to get our (human) attention. Tahlequah, also known as J35, is a member of the endangered orca population known as the Southern Residents in Puget Sound/Salish Sea area. At the time of this event in 2018, many members of the Southern Residents were documented to have been in physical states of starvation, due to shipping and boating activity in the area, (which affect their ability to hunt their primary food source of Chinook salmon), the overfishing of this primary food source, and habitat loss and destruction. I honestly believe cetaceans, and especially Orcas to be present and consciously aware to the point of actually trying to communicate with us...and in this case, to garner attention for the condition and status of the Southern Residents. And at that time, it did. Worldwide. The low birthrates among all the Southern Resident pods (J, K, and L) is likely directly correlated to and a consequence of human activity.... It would be wonderful if more people became interested and curious about these amazing beings and shared what they discover with others... The Southern Residents still are really struggling and more awareness and attention could potentially help more than we may think. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for reading.

This is much like the Elephant 🐘 death rituals! ❤. Who’s to say that these animals w/ large complex brains 🧠 do or don’t have the ability, will or sense to grasp what death is? Elephants 🐘 to this day still stop as a heard when they come to the bones of another elephant, sniffling, calling out, pickling up a piece of bone to hold & examine it. The whole Herd does this, each heard that passes by the remains All do this as a show of respect & for some others it may be their own family member there. Respect for the animals that we have yet may not fully understand is a great gift to pass to our children & grandchildren… so they can see & experience life’s worth in All its Glory before they are going extinct. Like elephants are in trouble so are the whales we seem to enjoy so much. Save them don’t just watch, see if you can help. ❤❤❤
orcas are smart af we all know this already so what if she knew her calf passed away and she wanted to bring it back to a certain place? he said she traveled over 1000kms with the calf I believe who really knows but I doubt the mother orca didnt know the calf was passed
Talaquah 🥺 I wish I could give her a big hug and invite her to a grieving mother’s support group. I’m glad she has a big family supporting her. Poor sweety. Orcas are amazing. It’s really cool how as years go on we are learning that so many animals are not so different from us humans.
Taliqua carrying her dead baby for 17days happened in and around Bellingham bay. It was observed closely and reported about in our local media. It was widely accepted as not only a mourning behavior but also as Taliqua sending a message to the world about the perils of how the environmental conditions are affecting these large, intelligent mammals. Low birth weights bc of declining salmon population, building up of environmental toxins, noise pollution, etc... There's no way that orcas don't comprehend that another member of the pod is dead and that they're trying to keep it alive; it took Taliqua an enormous amount of energy expenditure to keep her dead baby afloat and carry her body around for that amount of time and with the entire pod supporting this event. I recommend a book titled 'Communicating with Orcas' by Mary Getten who communicated with these local pods as well as orcas worldwide. It's one of my favorite books of any genre. It gives indepth accounts of just how remarkably evolved and beyond intelligent these massive, top predator and beautiful mammals are.
People look at this video of orcas grieving their dead and saying “orcas are kinder than humans” but what I see are dozens of humans trying to save an orca, an animal of an entirely different species and with TEETH and a huge mouth that can swallow a human in one nom I conclude humans are awesome and capable of unbelievable love
The Southern Resident Killer Whales off the coast of Washington in the Salish Sea do indeed share good. Extremely intelligent, and have emotions and go through mourning after family member of the pod dies.
Very interesting! There are many pack or herd animals who honor and morn their dead. Elephants, wolves and dogs come first to my mind, and I'm sure there are many others. It seems in their own way, they are more 'human' than most people are. We can learn so much from the animals if we were just willing to slow down enough to watch them and learn the very important life lessons they can teach us.
They are the biggest dolphins, they’re only called killer whales cause of their size and hunting skills but they are indeed dolphins… beautiful dolphins
All kinds of whales are very emotional and intelligent beings, dolphins are just the most famous for it. There isn't enough data to confirm that dolphins are actually smarter than other whale species.
There is always one of your virtuous fools in here bashing humans because...wait for it...an animal does something that APPEARS to do something by applying human emotions to it. You should see what these whales do to other whale calves not of their party. But that would require thinking past one concept a video presents to you.
I mean, being the most intelligent species on the planet, we do have a lot more things that can distract us. Animals don't do drugs... yet humans do. Most animals species would not know the difference of right or wrong because they go by inherited instinct.
In other words, the more advanced and altruistic a society is...the longer its organisms live. Hmm. Makes perfect sense. On that note: I can't say enough how much I adore my fellow creatures. Humans could learn a lot from them.
Oh my heart. There’s something someone pure about these creatures. It’s truly something that shows some thing out there is far greater than us. This so sad, magically, and in credibly beautiful. A weird mashup of opposites.
So sad. Orcas are extremely intelligent, and I believe they have emotions and personalities. So, the orcas bringing the elderly orca to the surface is just heartbreaking.
She was like all the real angels, our Elders, trying to teach the poor sick little brothers and sisters something. Showing the ones she knew were looking what they are responsible for in their madness.
It's incredible how social these beautiful animals are. If we humans were even half as social as these intelligent beings, the earth and we humans would definitely be in better condition. Then definitely not so many therapists would be needed...
So interesting. I remember hearing about the remains of clearly disabled Neanderthals who lived into his teens. I think it was clubfoot, so food was likely shared with him even though he could not hunt or forage as well. Died of tooth decay and was put to rest with the others.
I love the story of Stumpy bc all these orcas who were unrelated to him and didn't share a pod w him still gave him food ;__; I think by nature humans are like that too, it's the ruthless structure of modern society that spoils this desire to give.
Sorry for downloading without liking, i feel bad-- i've downloaded an insane amount of your videos (since maybe 2021, not sure thou). Please make it still 'Downloadable' I'll leave a like on each one from now on. You are my best teacher 😊
12:10 I’m curious if they recognize the voice of the call used to lure them and they either know that orca is right there in the pod and not making that call, or perhaps they know for a fact that that particular orca call had died many years ago and they know it’s a human trick lol. Either way, the fact that those calls did not work is actually more impressive because they’re not easily fooled by a recording of sound. Maybe their calls have an emotional echo and when we replay a call there is no emotion to follow therefore not a real orca (as an example I’m no biologist just a curious onlooker)
Just wanna point out that orca's emotional processing centers in their brains are like twice as large as ours, which is very rare. Even in extremely large animals. Not only can they feel human emotions, but it's almost certain that they feel a deeper, wider range of emotions than we do. So fascinating. I love these gorgeous creatures 🖤
I installed an ad blocker this morning and after years of pressing the next video and then the back button I finally dont need to press anything for the videos to start now and I miss maneuvering the ads.
I think some animals do experience grief as opposed to others, because most animals who are carnivores or omnivores will not hesitate to consume members of their own species and even their own group but orcas won’t eat dead orcas, at least not from their own pod.
The mother carrying the dead calf for 17 days was grieving. She knew it was dead. If you ever watched the Black Fish documentary, they show a mother after they took her newborn calf away from her. She stayed in the corner on the pool crying out for her lost baby for weeks. They feel very deeply. Im not surprised she carried it for 17 days.
I'm absolutely sure orcas are emotionally more sophisticated than humans. The studies of their brains show incredible results. But beyond scientific research, orcas, whales, and dolphins have wisdom we should learn from. Their capacity of living together, bounded as a strong family and supporting each other no matter what happens. It fascinates me.
It's amazing to observe highly intelligent beings form such strong bonds. Orcas appear to show more empathy for one another than humans. I'm not attributing human emotions to them, but they genuinely seem to experience deep sorrow when a member of their group dies.
When will people realise that these wales survive by using sonar,now to many submarines use sonar and these animal end up beaching themselves because of it.
What's interesting is that different orcas have different languages and cultures. We still know so little about so many different orca cultures because of how far they travel and the different dive depths they go through. So neat
informative... I stayed for the orcas because i love them so so much... not for the narration. brutal to get thru except for the info ... and for those who love it .. have at it . sounds like he should be narrating for a monster truck rally or some sort of trailer park show.
Why wouldn’t orcas care for each other? I’ve seen dogs grieve over a mate or sick owner. My brothers dog played down and grieved until death after cancer killed him. We have a fantastic earth by God’s design and ought learn to be kind to each other
Okay that's the last time I've bee clickbaited by this channel. There's been alot of information in this video, but nothing what would fit the title. Bye!
"The way orcas prepare for death"✓ "Shocked the world"✓ You really can't blame UA-camrs fighting against the algorithm, the main reason titles become like this is you, and the likes of you who click on: "shocked the world", "You never gona believe it!" , "Catastrophic " etc
The human race, in general, believes humans are higher or superior to the rest of existence. That’s our ego lieing to us, like it does a lot. Everything that I’ve experienced and learned has shown, without a dought, it is completely the opposite. If you take an overall look at the universe around us, we are the only aspect of reality that lives outside the natural balance that the entire universe hangs on! We are inferior compared to animals, or even bugs, plants, or rock, until… we learn to find our way back into balance with the rest of the world!!!
I love how scientists have a hard time acknowledging that certain animals (especially highly intelligent animals) have emotions like grief when it’s clear that it is grief and there’s yet to be evidence that proves otherwise. So instead of saying “it’s likely it could be grief. There’s no evidence YET to prove otherwise but you never know.” Instead it’s always “some say it’s grief but even though we haven’t found any other evidence we think it’s probably not grief” 😂 It’s so funny bc it reminds me that scientists are always as smart as they make themselves out to be. Emotional intelligence is still intelligence and if you lack the ability to include that in your scientific studies then your studies aren’t very well done imo.
Orcas are very intelligent and should never be kept in aquariums.

Elephants 🐘 to this day still stop as a heard when they come to the bones of another elephant, sniffling, calling out, pickling up a piece of bone to hold & examine it. The whole Herd does this, each heard that passes by the remains All do this as a show of respect & for some others it may be their own family member there.
Respect for the animals that we have yet may not fully understand is a great gift to pass to our children & grandchildren… so they can see & experience life’s worth in All its Glory before they are going extinct. Like elephants are in trouble so are the whales we seem to enjoy so much. Save them don’t just watch, see if you can help. ❤❤❤
Orcas are absolutely incredible, such intelligent fascinating creatures ❤
orcas are smart af we all know this already so what if she knew her calf passed away and she wanted to bring it back to a certain place?
he said she traveled over 1000kms with the calf I believe
who really knows but I doubt the mother orca didnt know the calf was passed
They are sentient beings.
Talaquah 🥺 I wish I could give her a big hug and invite her to a grieving mother’s support group. I’m glad she has a big family supporting her. Poor sweety. Orcas are amazing. It’s really cool how as years go on we are learning that so many animals are not so different from us humans.
Taliqua carrying her dead baby for 17days happened in and around Bellingham bay. It was observed closely and reported about in our local media. It was widely accepted as not only a mourning behavior but also as Taliqua sending a message to the world about the perils of how the environmental conditions are affecting these large, intelligent mammals. Low birth weights bc of declining salmon population, building up of environmental toxins, noise pollution, etc...
There's no way that orcas don't comprehend that another member of the pod is dead and that they're trying to keep it alive; it took Taliqua an enormous amount of energy expenditure to keep her dead baby afloat and carry her body around for that amount of time and with the entire pod supporting this event.
I recommend a book titled 'Communicating with Orcas' by Mary Getten who communicated with these local pods as well as orcas worldwide. It's one of my favorite books of any genre. It gives indepth accounts of just how remarkably evolved and beyond intelligent these massive, top predator and beautiful mammals are.
People look at this video of orcas grieving their dead and saying “orcas are kinder than humans” but what I see are dozens of humans trying to save an orca, an animal of an entirely different species and with TEETH and a huge mouth that can swallow a human in one nom
I conclude humans are awesome and capable of unbelievable love
I love these informative orca videos thank you!! They’re one of my favourite entities on this planet!
Mine too!
Monkeys and Chimps carry their dead babies for a few days
The Southern Resident Killer Whales off the coast of Washington in the Salish Sea do indeed share good. Extremely intelligent, and have emotions and go through mourning after family member of the pod dies.
6:51 that’s what I thought from the beginning I didn’t think an animal would carry around it’s dead child knowing it’s dead. Love your vids
Very interesting! There are many pack or herd animals who honor and morn their dead. Elephants, wolves and dogs come first to my mind, and I'm sure there are many others. It seems in their own way, they are more 'human' than most people are. We can learn so much from the animals if we were just willing to slow down enough to watch them and learn the very important life lessons they can teach us.
Do you know why they are so intelligent and caring, they are actually a species of Dolphin 🐬
They are dolphins lol
They are the biggest dolphins, they’re only called killer whales cause of their size and hunting skills but they are indeed dolphins… beautiful dolphins
All kinds of whales are very emotional and intelligent beings, dolphins are just the most famous for it. There isn't enough data to confirm that dolphins are actually smarter than other whale species.
@chanelchanel6086 they are called killer whales because the British got it wrong the original Japanese name was whale killers
I think Orcas are clever enough to know when one of them is dead...
Nature can actually act better than a lot of human parents and that is sad and awesome at the same time 🎉
There is always one of your virtuous fools in here bashing humans because...wait for it...an animal does something that APPEARS to do something by applying human emotions to it. You should see what these whales do to other whale calves not of their party. But that would require thinking past one concept a video presents to you.
Well, it's 50/50. I'm sure 90% of humans would do a better job raising their offspring
@@xenoemblem7 I agree. Humanity haters be damned.
I mean, being the most intelligent species on the planet, we do have a lot more things that can distract us. Animals don't do drugs... yet humans do. Most animals species would not know the difference of right or wrong because they go by inherited instinct.
@The_Cholosseum some animals actually do drugs, you know. Or a form of it anyway. Orcas and dolphins for example
Orcas are incredible.
In other words, the more advanced and altruistic a society is...the longer its organisms live. Hmm. Makes perfect sense. On that note: I can't say enough how much I adore my fellow creatures. Humans could learn a lot from them.
And the ignorant are hell bent on believing animals have no emotions ?
Oh my heart. There’s something someone pure about these creatures. It’s truly something that shows some thing out there is far greater than us. This so sad, magically, and in credibly beautiful. A weird mashup of opposites.
So sad. Orcas are extremely intelligent, and I believe they have emotions and personalities. So, the orcas bringing the elderly orca to the surface is just heartbreaking.
You humans have the wildest theories about our behavior. We actually sacrificed that guy to the air-god
Yes for our sins
Lmao 😂😂😂
Fr 😂
@@benjoleo laugh at God, disgusting, but he will be the last one actually laughing !
@@leedavis3704oh nooo not air god’s judgement
Even house pets feel the same emotions toward their owners and other animals, strays even do it
Orcas are so kind to eachother in the wild. It captivity they are cruel to males.
must be angry that the alphas are not protecting the pack
Wow Orcas are very intelligent creatures ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She was like all the real angels, our Elders, trying to teach the poor sick little brothers and sisters something. Showing the ones she knew were looking what they are responsible for in their madness.
The orca that lived to be about 105 was J2 (Granny) from the J-pod back in the Salish sea/Puget sound. RIP J2, we miss you ;_;
Orcas aren't whales. They're Dolphins
1:35 They say not to cry over spilled milk, but SIR SPILLED COFFEE IS ANOTHER THING 😭😭
Deceptive title, the video was not about killer whales preparing for death it was about other orcas reacting to the death of members of their pod.
It's incredible how social these beautiful animals are.
If we humans were even half as social as these intelligent beings, the earth and we humans would definitely be in better condition.
Then definitely not so many therapists would be needed...
So interesting. I remember hearing about the remains of clearly disabled Neanderthals who lived into his teens. I think it was clubfoot, so food was likely shared with him even though he could not hunt or forage as well. Died of tooth decay and was put to rest with the others.
Oh man that coffee slurp was annoying!!!
I love the story of Stumpy bc all these orcas who were unrelated to him and didn't share a pod w him still gave him food ;__; I think by nature humans are like that too, it's the ruthless structure of modern society that spoils this desire to give.
That reminder literally couldn’t be more obtrusive 😂 1:40
Sorry for downloading without liking, i feel bad-- i've downloaded an insane amount of your videos (since maybe 2021, not sure thou). Please make it still 'Downloadable' I'll leave a like on each one from now on. You are my best teacher 😊
You can download it for free without the feature.
liking is faster than typing 😂
Culture and knowledge should not be dependend on wealth or status so i think you probably has no problem with it
Thief!
@@8188rr no, YT download bro
Orcas aren't whales actually they are from the dolphin family and are highly intelligent animals.
"This Is How Orcas End Their Lives"
Well presented as always! Many beautiful things we've learned and keep learning from your content. Thank you.
This is very beautiful and impressive how orcas pods work together and grieve together. We can learn a lot from them.
We are the wild animals
Love the vids keep the grind on
We really have underestimated all animals and insects. God's incredible creations! 😊
12:10 I’m curious if they recognize the voice of the call used to lure them and they either know that orca is right there in the pod and not making that call, or perhaps they know for a fact that that particular orca call had died many years ago and they know it’s a human trick lol. Either way, the fact that those calls did not work is actually more impressive because they’re not easily fooled by a recording of sound. Maybe their calls have an emotional echo and when we replay a call there is no emotion to follow therefore not a real orca (as an example I’m no biologist just a curious onlooker)
Also not a biologist. But as far as I know orca pods have distinctive "dialects". Maybe she heard the sound of an orca but not one from her pod.
Just wanna point out that orca's emotional processing centers in their brains are like twice as large as ours, which is very rare. Even in extremely large animals. Not only can they feel human emotions, but it's almost certain that they feel a deeper, wider range of emotions than we do. So fascinating. I love these gorgeous creatures 🖤
I installed an ad blocker this morning and after years of pressing the next video and then the back button I finally dont need to press anything for the videos to start now and I miss maneuvering the ads.
I think some animals do experience grief as opposed to others, because most animals who are carnivores or omnivores will not hesitate to consume members of their own species and even their own group but orcas won’t eat dead orcas, at least not from their own pod.
favourite channel ❤
The mother carrying the dead calf for 17 days was grieving. She knew it was dead.
If you ever watched the Black Fish documentary, they show a mother after they took her newborn calf away from her. She stayed in the corner on the pool crying out for her lost baby for weeks.
They feel very deeply. Im not surprised she carried it for 17 days.
Love your channel, I have learned so much
why is everyone saying they shouldnt be in aquariums? no animal should be in an aquarium, OR a zoo, They should be in the wild living their best lives
All animals and marine life have emotions and a code they live by. They are equal or actually superior to humans.
Stumpy made me laugh so hard)))
I'm absolutely sure orcas are emotionally more sophisticated than humans. The studies of their brains show incredible results. But beyond scientific research, orcas, whales, and dolphins have wisdom we should learn from. Their capacity of living together, bounded as a strong family and supporting each other no matter what happens. It fascinates me.
It's so absurd to think we're different from other animals.
Other animals haven't made a youtube
It's amazing to observe highly intelligent beings form such strong bonds. Orcas appear to show more empathy for one another than humans. I'm not attributing human emotions to them, but they genuinely seem to experience deep sorrow when a member of their group dies.
When will people realise that these wales survive by using sonar,now to many submarines use sonar and these animal end up beaching themselves because of it.
It’s not a whale
It’s a member of the dolphin family.
Orcas are highly intelligent and social animals. Also, animals do have certain human characteristics.
Aww stumpy is awesome
It sounds like orcas are like us in the fact that they’re capable of taking care of each other, but not all individuals participate in that behavior.
Bro please take out that sipping sound effect for the intro
😂 I thought I was the only one . 😖
@@pyrettablaze0414 had me thinking that too
LIKE I HATE!! HATE MOUTH NOISES! I almost quit watching because of that alone!!😅😂😂😂
@@heatherpilz112 my comment will take the bullet for it to happen
What's interesting is that different orcas have different languages and cultures. We still know so little about so many different orca cultures because of how far they travel and the different dive depths they go through. So neat
To keep the dying friend hours long on the water surface...Great Male friendship!!!
Stumpy is a nice guy. He has a great personality. A few good jokes. A couple not so good. That's why they love him.
How was the two year old calf feeding that whole month in the lagoon?
informative... I stayed for the orcas because i love them so so much... not for the narration. brutal to get thru except for the info ...
and for those who love it .. have at it . sounds like he should be narrating for a monster truck rally or some sort of trailer park show.
Well explained 👏
I watched a similar death scene in my boyfriend's living room aquarium. It was sad and fascinating. I forget the breed of fish.
Animals have more of a heart and a soul than most humans
I enjoy your video.
Why wouldn’t orcas care for each other? I’ve seen dogs grieve over a mate or sick owner. My brothers dog played down and grieved until death after cancer killed him. We have a fantastic earth by God’s design and ought learn to be kind to each other
Very misleading thumbnail
The orcas will always try help each other. They weren't sure if dying or sick so they will push them up as they do grieve in loss of a pod member
Okay that's the last time I've bee clickbaited by this channel. There's been alot of information in this video, but nothing what would fit the title. Bye!
"The way orcas prepare for death"✓
"Shocked the world"✓
You really can't blame UA-camrs fighting against the algorithm, the main reason titles become like this is you, and the likes of you who click on: "shocked the world", "You never gona believe it!" , "Catastrophic " etc
Why are you crying here then lol? Begging for attention much?
The human race, in general, believes humans are higher or superior to the rest of existence. That’s our ego lieing to us, like it does a lot.
Everything that I’ve experienced and learned has shown, without a dought, it is completely the opposite. If you take an overall look at the universe around us, we are the only aspect of reality that lives outside the natural balance that the entire universe hangs on!
We are inferior compared to animals, or even bugs, plants, or rock, until… we learn to find our way back into balance with the rest of the world!!!
I love how scientists have a hard time acknowledging that certain animals (especially highly intelligent animals) have emotions like grief when it’s clear that it is grief and there’s yet to be evidence that proves otherwise.
So instead of saying “it’s likely it could be grief. There’s no evidence YET to prove otherwise but you never know.”
Instead it’s always “some say it’s grief but even though we haven’t found any other evidence we think it’s probably not grief” 😂
It’s so funny bc it reminds me that scientists are always as smart as they make themselves out to be. Emotional intelligence is still intelligence and if you lack the ability to include that in your scientific studies then your studies aren’t very well done imo.
The computer images lost me
Orcas have so many complicated social cultures, they are truly fascinating.
Good morning, Steve! Great information, very interesting! Thank you for sharing this information! Catch you next time!!!
