0:03 That orca is missing a dorsal fin 😮 Or is it tha much collapsed?

Orcas possess a remarkably advanced limbic system and boast the most gyrified brain on the planet. Despite this, why do we continue to question the existence of grief in these creatures? They have the ability to experience complex emotions.

I didn't know Lolita might not have been from the L pod. 😯 This is news to me. There are so many misconceptions surrounding that poor orca. A certain organization and individuals are still insisting that Lolita was doing to be relocated to a sanctuary before her passing, despite no sanctuary being constructed and no permits being filed. Consequently, many people worldwide still believe she was going to be released. It's unfortunate that her name is being exploited for personal gain even after her passing.

Icelandic killer whales, similar to the Southern Residents in the Pacific Northwest, suffered greatly due to the captive industry. They were taken from Iceland and sold to marine parks in the U.S. Currently, there are two Icelandic killer whales that were captured from the wild and are still alive in the U.S. - Katina, the matriarch of Seaworld Orlando, and Ulises, who resides in Seaworld San Diego and holds the title of the oldest male killer whale in captivity.

Great but you’re legally supposed to turn off your motor to prevent injury to the orca.

This is in Australia not the US and regulations are quite different. It also would be unsafe to do so in the open ocean conditions we were in. The company we were out with is extremely knowledgeable and respectful operating around these whales as they have been for over a decade.

The vessel was in neutral. Guidelines are different country to country and this was in Australia. It would have been unsafe to turn off the motors of this vessel in the open ocean conditions but with the boat in neutral the props were not spinning.

So, in Blackfish, they talked about a captive orca named Corky whom, back in the 80's/90's (I can't remember the year) was rammed by two other female orcas and she was rammed so hard, it broke her jaw and severed an artery in her head and she bled out and died. I don't think this is that same Corky that they're talking about, but it is confusing.
@sarahysong-shimazu57666 ай бұрын
It is the same whale. Kandu V charged at Corky and broke her jaw when she did, severing her artery and ultimately dying. Corky did not get rammed, but was the intended target as I understand it.

If it is the same Corky then why are they saying that she should be retired to a sanctuary? If she did pass away, then they wouldn't be trying to retire her out of the park.

folks need to show more caution letting orcas get close to their boats especially the rudder end. i guess orcas have been snapping off entire rudders & some times breakingna hole in the boat causing them to sink. fortunately theres been no attacks on humans during these sinking boats or in the wild.

Watching this whilst thinking also about how ancient seafarers would see these pods and races with their prey. Not being able to explain what they have seen for the very first time. To see the waves and the surfacing and then the brief view of the beaked whale with a large spike at the end of its face, it’s surreal. To know now as modern history has studied and we can explain the view, but to be in absolute fear of the deep oceans. It’s the underworld and it chills me to the bone. No sense of direction or light. The video was beautiful but the haunting under tones is inescapable.

Corky is a Northern Resident from the A5 pod, A23 matriline. She has been in captivity since 1969. She has family in the wild - sister Ripple, brother Fife, niece Midsummer, great-nephews Fern and Ne'nakw, and great-niece Eliot. Corky lives in Seaworld San Diego.

Note the breathing cycles between the Orca and the Beaked whale, one whole second longer breaths for the Orca, hence their ability to chase their prey to exhaustion. Their large round pectoral fins allow the effortless higher lifts out of the water for more endurance enabling oxygen uptake. 🐬

@@genXdoom72That is not the case after a long dive or for a weakened individual that needs the longer recovery time to absorb the needed oxygen in their blood that enable these long dives.
Impossible to say. If it could have dove it would have done so immediately, but it didn't. It appeared that the orcas swam it to exhaustion as they're famous for doing. I'd wager it's much more likely they killed that whale and the videographer chose not to include that part because the video may have been restricted. @@genXdoom72
