False Killer Whale Facts: NOT exactly a KILLER WHALE

[@tracybowling1156]

I've never even heard of The False Killer Whale. I'm surprised because when I was younger, I was obsessed with the ocean. That False KW has a killer smile. They are very very handsome creatures. I loved learning about them. I didn't realize that all dolphins are whales! So cool!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

So glad you learned something new, Tracy!!

[@royalgreenlantern]

I remember as a kid in the 90s Sea World had them first time hearing about them I remember they were considerably smaller than Orca and they would do shows

[@mr.pipsp.m.w2008]

It’s a new species they created 😂😂😂

[@seamus2625]

[@Soilec]

You should have a look at all the different species of beaked whales. Some can be pretty big : 12meters+ but they are the less known big animals of all…

[@haramsaddam238]

[@carto4028]

Ive always been against naming anything False something. It seems a little disrespectful and kinda downplays the individually of a species by simply comparing it to something it isn't. I see it with fungi, animals and plants and it gets real confusing when there are several things that can be considered false.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Some common animal names could use a redo

[@CalebCakey]

I think the name sounds cool

[@CPTcripp]

Im sure they dont even care lmao

[@kevinflores583]

lets name it us!!?

[@kevinflores583]

how about whalfin

[@jeffreygamerchannel]

Thank you for the dolphin-whale statement. It drives me nuts when people say dolphins are not whales. Its like saying chickens are not birds. Makes no sense🤦‍♂️

[@TacoDudeYum]

Horrible comparison. Whales and Dolphins are mammals. Dolphins and whales are totally different, although very similar. I believe all toothed whales are considered dolphins if im not mistaken

[@footballflag6866]

À

[@Hamster_Joy]

@@TacoDudeYumall dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphins

[@praapje]

@@Hamster_Joy As I understand it whales are grouped in two orders: toothed and baleen, so all toothed whales can be considered as dolphins and all baleen whales not? Then again you have the sperm whale which has teeth, but I don´t think that´s considered to be a dolphin. Just confusing.

[@darkstar2476]

Don't know why but these animals look to me like xenomorphs of the whale family

[@ThatOneGuyFromOhio]

Probably the inspo for them.

[@BigNocturnalXP]

Just call the Dorcas. Dolphin + Orca = Dorca 😂

[@indyreno2933]

The False Killer Whale (Pseudorca crassidens) is a blackfish, it grows to 18 ft long, making it the fourth largest blackfish, blackfish are small to mid-sized whales that belong to the family Orcinidae, with only six extant species within only five genera, it is also known that the blackfish are the most basal extant family within the broader superfamily Delphinoidea (Oceanic Lesser Toothed Whales), which includes three other families such as Monodontidae (Narwhal and Beluga), Phocoenidae (Porpoises), and Delphinidae (Dolphins), interestingly, the closest living relative of the false killer whale is in fact the Pygmy Killer Whale (Feresa attenuata).

[@hukilausurfer]

“Blackfish” is just a slang term. It’s not scientific. Weird that you’re trying to make it sound like a real classification.

[@SageRosemaryTime]

@@hukilausurfer It's the literal translation of the name given to them by America's first peoples so not quite a slang term. Scientists tend to use Latin. Indigenous names are as valid as any other .Sure it's not the scientific classification name but does serve to distinguish them from others as a group.

[@BikeonMyBs]

They’re actually dolphins

[@indyreno2933]

@Teg_MotoNoGo, actually, blackfish are not dolphins, both blackfish (family Orcinidae) and dolphins (family Delphinidae) belong to the superfamily Delphinoidea (Oceanic Lesser Toothed Whales), but dolphins are most closely related to porpoises, while the blackfish are the most basal extant family and the family Monodontidae, which contains the narwhal and beluga is actually the sister group to the clade that contains the dolphins and porpoises to the exclusion of blackfish.

[@milesmanges]

Always been fascinated by false killer whales, such beautiful and intelligent beings

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Absolutely agreed! They need more love!

[@SudyCrumbz]

I did a school report on the false killer whale in 5th grade but I got failed for plagiarism. ( It was a famous person's name that got flagged by grammarly and the teach didn't bother to check 🙃 )

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Oof that's rough!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

We agree!

[@georgea7336]

It breaks my heart to know that while I was first learning of these guys at 40 yrs old in 2023 there's less than 200 of these cetaceans believed to be living in the world......

[@Tina-mt9cl]

Yea so the fact that they travel in pods of 100 or more doesn't match up with your alarmist pseudoscientist stats. There are many thousands alive today and because of the their size and the amount of territory they cover this is a healthy population not in any danger of extinction. (Just hope they stay away from any foreign natural gas pipelines the US Military gets to close to, aka the largest manmade environmental disaster in history, and done on purpose too. Never forget what the US Military in collusion with the CIA & The Whitehouse did in 2022... Never believe a word they say ever again when they speak on the "environment" & "climate".)

[@Snow_Dog-px1qu]

That's not true

[@Bingsolomon]

Only in Hawaii. They are thriving everywhere else

[@maeterith1984]

Wow. This is amazing. I've never seen this species of dolphin. They are beautiful. ❤. Thank you for sharing this.

[@jamesgon7345]

I’ve been obsessed with the ocean my entire life and never heard of these I even had a giant book going over animals of the ocean and these are not in there also I hate the name there scary looking they remind me of ancient whales and the fact that they can travel in groups of up to 500 is terrifying

[@gravel9270]

I remember seeing one as a kid in a dolphin show. It was the only false killer whale in the show and the rest were normal looking dolphins.

[@acme_tnt8741]

Who is here because of a Joe Rogan clip.

[@zioqqr4262]

Thanks Dad for always supporting the channel

[@AnimalFactFiles]

[@muhammadthegaylord4155]

I'm starting to think Animal Fact Files could be the best animal documentary channel on youtube.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Omg you're so kind!

[@adrianqx]

Just learnt about them from Joe Rogan !! WTF I thought I knew alot about wildlife Im almost obsessed with nature documentaries and to miss such a gigantic creature is nuts, can't wait for my next surprise animal, perhaps a gliding nocturnal gorilla

[@GnosticJuggernaut.]

Its crazy to think that there is mammals that live in the water and have to come up to the surface for air. That's actually very strange.

[@4nik8]

It's definitely one of the most fascinating things on the planet.

[@leonarddanley7010]

Until now, i thought that all humans knew that all whales breathe air..... most amphibians and all reptiles that live in the water also breathe air through lungs. many amphibians breath oxygen through their skin. In pseudoscience humans use to live in water. But on the other-side of the spectrum the aquatic ape hypothesis (AAH), also referred to as aquatic ape theory (AAT) or the waterside hypothesis of human evolution, postulates that the ancestors of modern humans took a divergent evolutionary pathway from the other great apes by becoming adapted to a more aquatic habitat.

[@gregkosinski2303]

It’s not that weird if you think about it. Lungfish actually have a competitive advantage vs fish that only get oxygen through gills in many environments. Aquatic mammals similarly have some advantages in their ability to slurp oxygen where it’s plentiful. In general their physiology is turbocharged vs most fish.

[@GnosticJuggernaut.]

@@gregkosinski2303 I definitely agree with the way you're interpreting my statement. I'm just saying it's strange and amazing that it happens, in more of it almost seems like it was written in a fantasy novel. That kind of strange and weird, not as practical like your comment. Hopefully I made since just now it's new year's and I had a drink or two,lol. Happy new year.

[@tomcatt_2346]

They are also known to hunt dolphins! Cool video bruv 🐋 🐬

Make a video on false humans

Learnt several new facts . Thank You !

Except it’s a dolphin confused as another type of… dolphin.

[@HelpMe-yi4zp]

Scientist really don't have an idea of giving name huh?

[@AnimalFactFiles]

It does seem to cause confusion from time to time

[@SusanFarmer-vz7zc]

Couldn't they give these beautiful creatures a better name.

[@zebedeemadness2672]

Personally in common name i call them by there species name (Crassidens) translated Thick-toothed, so Thick-toothed dolphin whale.

[@Hektols]

In Spanish they are called orcas negras (black orcas).

[@johnhendricks8140]

Leo Casper brought me to this page, he has great knowledge on animals.

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

I never knew why they were called false killer whales until now. I also thought they might be a type of pilot whale. I'm happy to have so many misunderstandings cleared up!

[@info145]

Pilot Whales are Calderon dolphins :-) Note: Killer Whales and Beluga Whales and Pilot Whales and False-killer Whales and Sowerby's beaked Whales are all dolphins!

[@zebedeemadness2672]

​@@info145 Killer dolphin whales, Pilot dolphin whales, (False-killer dolphin whales) Thick-toothed dolphin whales are all Dolphin whales of the family Delphinidae (true Dolphin whales). Baluga whales are of the family Monodontidae (Artic toothed whales), Baluga whales are in the Superfamily Delphinoidea (archetype of Dolphin) but aren't Dolphin whales. Sowerby's beaked whales are of the family Ziphiidae (Beaked whales) so despite there appearance also aren't Dolphins whales.

[@info145]

Well... porpoises, belugas, sperm whales and dolphins of all kinds fall under the suborder of "toothed whales" known as odontocetes.

[@zebedeemadness2672]

@@info145 Parvorder not suborder, but yes they are all Odontoceti (Toothed whales).

[@info145]

By the way, Baluga is incorrect. It's properly BELUGA (Baluga is a people).

[@kimberlyphifer2391]

Thank you for this video! We saw a very large pod of these whale today in San Diego Bay and it was truly incredible!

[@Hawken54]

The Pigmy Right Whale was thought to be extinct also. But rediscovered in 2012.

[@Ozraptor4]

Pygmy right whale was never considered extinct or rediscovered. In in 2012 it was moved from it's own family (Neobalaenidae) and into the Cetotheriidae, a family previously known only from fossils.

Wow. Just wow 🐳

[@thomasingram8713]

Great video! I love marine mammals, really a fearful admiration lol. And having been to Hawaii (the big island "Hawaii") multiple times but not knowing these existed, Im left wondering if maybe I have seen them before but just mistook them for another member of the delphinidae family. Some of the most amazing aquatic life out there, Im so fortunate to have seen whale sharks and massive manta rays up close in person.

[@CrookedRosePOD]

They look like beluga whales but dark af lool

[@Chikanuk]

In Russian its "Small Orca" or "Black Orca", instead of False one ;D Also gj for keeping metric system.

Oh I hadn't heard that! That's really cool!

Could you do a video on beluga sturgeon?

I don't think they should be called "false" since they are not that far from the tree. Maybe they should call them Black Killer Whales. Since they act not look that different and had a same diet and just as curious towards humans.

lol, you’re actually obnoxiously stupid…. Imagine getting mad at a name, deserve?
