Diving with 50 Orcas in Norway

After a 4000 kms road trip from France to Norway, Didier Noirot meets friends in Skjervoy. From there they start a voyage on a sailboat through the fjords to look for orcas and whales feeding on herrings. Beautiful scenics and amazing underwater pictures. Watch until the end !...

How absolutely breath taking these magnificent creatures are. Notice there‘s not one collapsed dorsal fin in sight…

[@marcopohl3236]

A tour guide at a zoo I visited as a kid said dorsal fins collapse from the lack of pressure in the tank, so it makes sense that orcas that can dive whenever they want to wouldn't experience it. Then again, has a zoo that keeps orcas ever been honest about their health?

[@horse-lover68]

@@marcopohl3236 Gutes Argument und ich bin der Meinung NEIN!! Vielleicht nicht immer als Lüge, aber weil sie es einfach nicht besser wissen. Sie kennen nur orca's in Gefqngenschaft. Es kommt vom wenigem Platz und auch von der psychischen Verfassung der Tiere!! ALLE männlixhen Orca's in Gefangenschaft haben eine kollapierte Rückenflosse und auch fast alle Orca Kühe!!

[@ebonywilliams2860]

That's because the collapse dorsal fin only happens because of being in captivity goes to show u how wrong capitivity is for animals and sea world and other places like them should be ashamed of them selves they are monsters who keep captive anything

[@ohiologist9256]

@@ebonywilliams2860 for a lot of animals it's actually good for them to rehabilitate the species. But not orcas. Not any cetacean for that matter. They are too intelligent and sapient to do that to them.

[@earthtoastro8349]

@@ohiologist9256 the only cetaceans that should be housed in my honest opinion are Beluga, they seem to do really well in captivity and communicate with humans fairly well and not only that but they ENJOY it. Any other species in the family is highly unlikely though, as Beluga are unique in size and intelligence. Dolphins sometimes but they're more intelligent and need more care.

[@horse-lover68]

It depend's on which kind of orca!! If they are fisheater like the Northern and Southern resident's, why not?? If they are transient's they feed on marine mammal's, shark's ray's and so on, but this is an easy meal. Why should they attack whales when they have their food??

[@CoreyMillionaire2029]

20 years ago, after he swam 900 miles from Iceland, Keiko the orca dolphin from Free Willy was actually among these groups too. He was often swimming out to hunt between staying in a Norwegian fjord. He first followed a fishing traweler there, since before he was captured Keiko had already learned from his mother that fishing boats mean easier herring to eat than just hunting. All Icelandic orca dolphins do this today. Within an instant, thousands of years of tradition changed!

Anyway, it wasn't clear from the video, but I imagine the 50 orca dive happened toward the end, so as to film the orcas feasting on the fish from the trawler.
