Finding a 45 Year Old Orca! & a New Killer Whale Pod Discovery

[@crystalmoody5342]

From someone who may never get the opportunity to see one in person… I greatly appreciate your videos. Thank you

[@58nunzi]

Watching the big male cruise along all alone was just a magnificent sight to see. I could watch him all day long.

[@annakeye]

I know. Watching that ginormous dorsal fin, seemingly suffering from the effects of gravity after so many years, is something quite extraordinary.

[@stephaniepotterart]

I wish Tilikum would have lived that life! Amazing sight to see! Thanks

[@seanowens8715]

MAGNIFICENT!!! #1 ON THIS PLANET!!

[@Funksinthehouse]

​@@stephaniepotterartLolita too. They actually found her pod, her grandmother and mother were still alive at the time. She would have been the perfect release! As you stated, wish they could have had the same life. Tilly would have been waaay bigger if he was in the open water!

[@ibrahimsultanov7355]

@@Funksinthehouseyou are completely ignorant.

[@dougbourdo2589]

I have been a fan of Orcas for many years. This big male is truly incredible.

[@theresacrubaugh2095]

That big boy is gorgeous! It's great to see an orca's dorsal fin standing up, unlike those in captivity.

[@Romulan2469]

Won't be long till he's breaking rudders too.

[@CATSWITHKYLA]

Male orcas have the largest dorsal fin of any marine mammal, up to 6 feet tall and 1.8 meters long!

[@b.artale8517]

Wow, I’m in bed recovering from a total knee replacement. Tv and streaming is getting boring! I found your videos on KZbin, accidentally. I think this was the most relaxing and informative thing I have seen in a long time. Im a 73 year old GreatGrandma! Thanks for all your incredible work in documenting the giants of the sea and sharing it with us! Keep up this amazing work. I certainly will be watching and enjoying. You have made my surgery recovery much better. I think my orthopedic surgeon should prescribe your videos to his patients as part of their recovery! Thank you! Your work is a gift to us all! Bless you!!!

[@richardchandler3820]

Very lucky to see CA-199. There is another massive size male that roams the ocean alone and I’m really hoping that nothing has happened to him. His name is Fatfin. Great videos!

[@bari2883]

Why do you think they live solo,those two males ? I’ve always thought orca lived with their mother’s line of the family for life.

[@MermaidMusings7]

Fatfin sometimes travels with Lonesome George.

[@raystoric2175]

Do big male orcas tend to live alone ??

[@MermaidMusings7]

Raystoric - It varies based on the ecotype. Southern and Northern Residents (fish-eaters) remain with their mothers for life. Bigg's orcas (mammal-eaters) have a more fluid social structure. Some stay with their mothers, while others venture out. Those who leave may join other pods or accompany other solitary males. The famous Californian orca CA165 Lonesome George is part of the Bigg's orca group and he is solitary, although he occasionally travels with CA171B Fatfin.

[@pnkrckmom]

​@@MermaidMusings7 Fascinating info. Thank you!

[@DarkSkies72]

So happy they found a new pod with a baby too. I love Orca’s, they look like sea pandas 🐼

[@userbosco]

The dorsal on that male was more a sail than a fin. WOW!!

[@CATSWITHKYLA]

Male orcas have the largest dorsal fin of any marine mammal, up to 6 feet tall and 1.8 meters long!

[@ashleypg1708]

​@@CATSWITHKYLAthat's crazy huge!

[@endeeray4295]

CA 199 is breathtakingly huge!! Phenomenal creature and what amazing video of him to impart just how big he is. Very cool finding a new pod too!!.

[@pencilpauli9442]

Even if you hadn't said this male was large, there seems to be an incredible length from the tip of the beak to the front base of the huge fin as he breaks the surface, giving the impression of size. I'll probably never get to see the amazing wildlife you film, but your videos are the next best thing. Many thanks

[@WendyCobb-kl7ns]

Wow 🤩 that’s a giant boy! How lucky you are! What a privilege to witness!

[@PBAdventures146]

Wow! That male is a giant! Incredible footage!

[@lynda4661]

Amazing as always well done keep up the good work x

[@susancoddington6393]

Absolutely one of my favorite videos that you have done! As an avid advocate for the critically endangered Southern Resident Orcas as well as Chinook Salmon watching these incredible mammal eating orcas I’m amazed at their size and especially the giant 45 year old male!! The size of his dorsel fin alone was unbelievable. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to marine life and conservation

[@galejohnnelsonnelson5995]

I love your video! You are sooo correct, "this IS what life is all about"! Wait till you come side-by-side with a blue whale - they are about the size of a Trailways Bus!!

[@MermaidMusings7]

Southern Residents have a special place in my heart. L25 Ocean Sun is estimated to be 95 years old!

[@melissapixley5580]

The drone footage of the male is gorgeous! That dorsal took my breath away-as your videos so often do! Thank you!

[@CATSWITHKYLA]

Male orcas have the largest dorsal fin of any marine mammal, up to 6 feet tall and 1.8 meters long.

[@hawaiian1234]

amazing drone footage of the orca and its massive fin.

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Thanks so much!

[@MRC-FXMUSIC]

What an outstanding video with a crystal-clear recording. The lone male in this video is without a doubt the largest orca I have ever seen. Very exciting. Thank you for sharing it here on KZbin. Much Appreciated!

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Wow, thank you!

[@GrapeApe2018]

Here I am stuck in Kansas and the Orca is my absolute favorite animal on this planet. Seeing one in the wild has held the number one spot on my bucket list for over 40 years. It is also the one thing on my list that I have never and will never be able to cross off. I would welcome as many videos on Orcas that you can possibly give us. Thank you for this beautiful footage.

[@grey_street]

me too! it's definitely my bucket list animal.... coming in second would be emperor penguins 🐧

[@KoolKats5]

Me too! I'm enamored of orca. They are so beautiful!

[@kristy9337]

@Malibu Artist You have a gift. I'm sure it hasn't made you a millionaire- but what you've made reaches farther than money. TY🙏

[@mickeybugh]

I cried the 1st time i saw orcas in the wild. The emotions took me by surprise

[@grey_street]

I would too! you're so lucky. It's on my bucket list. living on the East Coast of the USA, I'm so jealous of the wildlife on the west Coast

[@pattyk734]

I got to see Orcas playing off of Victoria BC on a whale watch. I too started to cry. They were magnificent. One came right up to the boat turned on its back and went under the boat.i was lucky to get a picture of it.

[@yvettelucy7378]

That is the most impressive dorsal fin ever!!! Excellent footage once again!!

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Many thanks!

Lieber Carlos, jedes Video ist ein Geschenk für diese Communit. Vielen Dank dafür.

[@hedgehoghogtel1694]

Just beautiful 😍😍 Can't get over the size of that male Orca. Massive. Thank you for your wonderful video!

[@bmf00]

I cant imagine seeing an orca in the wild like you have. Amazing.

[@nessaarandur7740]

Love the orca content. I can't believe how massive that dorsal fin was!

Wow ! Just WOW !! Seeing an Orca in the wild is on my bucket list !! Such majestic and cool dolphins !!! And seeing Fatfin is incredibly awesome ! I’m glad that huge old Orca is ok !!! Hoping more baby calves are born and survive !!

[@shannonlawhorn1674]

Sharks have always terrified me. Your channel has helped me at least understand sharks better from an intellectual level(I'm still terrified but can rationalize my way through). Thanks for the content.

How wonderful to observe these beautiful creatures in their habitat. Thanks!

Amazing!! I had to rewind and watch him again..! What a massive creature... Gorgeous... wow. Thank you!! ❤️

That’s how you want to see the Orca’s and NOT in a tank. They’re beautiful thank you for showing je

[@shereewilson1214]

Omg! The male Orca is amazing. I have always been amazed by the killer whales. He is amazingly gorgeous.

[@rebeccabee1111]

Breathtakingly beautiful video!! I could see how big that Orca is without actually being there!! Once again thank you for your hard work and sharing this with the world!!!!

Seeing orcas hunting salmon in the San Juan Islands was one of the most exciting sites I've ever seen!

What a beautiful sight to see. The large male orca was inspiring to watch. Brought a tear to my eye.. Thank you for providing such beautiful filming and heartfelt emotions in your work.

[@femalesrule2295]

I am so grateful for the opportunity you have provided to see these beautiful creatures in their own natural environment. I wish I could have been there but this is the next best thing. Thank you again for sharing your experience, one’s I’ll never be able to do IRL. 👼

[@NicVanD]

Hello from San Diego! Orcas and sharks are my favorite sea animals. I am so stoked you’re going to be doing Orca content!!! What incredible forage this was. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Orca that big or heard of one being a loner (kind of sad). Love your channel!!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SuperMedic123]

Awesome to see such beautiful creatures. It must be surreal to be that close to them. Thanks for sharing and working so hard to show these magnificent animals in their home environment and not in some side show.

[@bari2883]

My favourite ocean animal, you’re so lucky to have witnessed them.❤

[@leighbrownsmith1446]

Beautiful footage. Goes to show there’s no need for them to be held in captivity. They can be seen all over the world. Free as nature intended. ❤️

[@ibrahimsultanov7355]

Wild ≠ captivity, buddy.

[@davidoldacre]

wow that big male is a sight to see . amazing video , keep up the good work .

[@SageRosemaryTime]

The male is massive. Mighty Impressive and memorable . I'm thrilled that you will feature more Orca in future

[@tomtalker2000]

That male orca was HUGE...!!! He looks like he's pushing close to 30ft.

[@NatzTalk]

I'm so glad you're sharing your adventures with us!.Thanks! 💛

[@cmac5804]

Thank you for sharing these amazing videos! It's amazing that you found an unknown pod orca. Gives me hope that there maybe more that we also don't know about. Loved watching the male swim by. He is certainly a big boy! Keep filming on the ocean we love it!

[@TheMalibuArtist]

I hope so too! Thanks again for watching!

[@fishingXhobby]

Awesome thanks for letting us enjoy this master piece.

[@gingermac7222]

To see CA-199 was a joy for the first time in so long; it was amazing to see was still a lone Orca still traveling alone. I never knew Orcas lived that long 45 years old 😮🎉❤Just unique animals, magnificent❤❤❤❤

[@Moelocomoe]

I enjoy your shark content, but I love the Orca content 😊

[@luisz2358]

Very nice Video 👍🏻

[@jojowynne233]

I didn’t get a notification for this one 😔 I love Orcas! YT is rude! I couldn’t get over the size of the large male’s dorsal fin. I’ve heard they have the largest dorsal of all marine mammals, so looking at this I’m guessing that it is true. You always bring joy to my day when I watch your videos. I will continue to share them and thank you so very much Carlos ❤

[@dianakeremian9688]

Please more content like this !!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@elissajackson5140]

Love seeing all the amazing see life off the California west coast.

[@jenniferindigochameleon6680]

California east coast sucks for sharks

[@michellesartori6695]

I was watching this video in awe and amazement! Seeing that big male orca so strong and powerful with all the ocean as his home really made me cry for all the captive orcas which have spent their entire lives swimming in a chlorinated bathtub! It pierces my heart knowing that all those creatures like Corky, who is as old as I am, nearly 60, have swum and been made to do tricks for the amusement of us humans day after day and year after year, never getting to experience the joy of roaming and hunting with family wherever they please. Seeing the big male's strong steadfast dorsal fin riding above the waves and recalling Tilikum's limp and folded over one makes me sad to be a human! Now that a lot of people in the West have wizened up to the cruelty of keeping captive orca's we have the Far East, China, now opening up more marine parks with orca's as the "main event" and I feel so helpless to help them. Thank you SO very much for all the work you have done to make these and your other awesome content. I appreciate it greatly as I am disabled and I don't get out much but the joy that watching these, and the other amazing marine animals on your videos is certainly a mental boost for me. I haven't commented before but I simply HAD to today! From country NSW Australia.

[@free-the-whales]

Awesome comment. I very much agree. I feel so sad and helpless and would not like to feel this way anymore. I wish someone would do something. The powers that be do not seem to care. God bless 🙌

I'm so happy you've grown to love orcas! I love them too

[@Lisa-iq6jr]

Amazing animals. What a gift you've given us!!. Thank you. I've been to the Sea of Cortez. Las Cruces. My sister's husband has a house down there. It belonged to his father. One of the best weeks of my life. But your film takes the cake. Thank you.....

[@Teufel_Resen]

I’ve always been a water dude growing up in SoCal with a Hawaiian influence. I had my one and only sighting of a pair of Orcas when I was a kid south of the Huntington Beach pier. Seeing dolphins everyday had these things stand out due to how massive they were. I’ve been living in San Diego county for last 24yrs and we get Orcas periodically in Oceanside and La Jolla. Closest thing I’ve seen of great whites or orcas down here I’ve seen personally is a big sea lion who had its back fins bitten of extremely recently who was on a ledge just out of the water by the cove. I opted for the snorkeling came to do and saw Sea World trying to scoop up that sea lion 45min later. Keep up excellent work chief!

[@sawyerdave1]

Stellar cinematography , thank you 🙏

[@MJG72a]

Brilliant!

[@justingarcia3169]

i LOVE Orcas, got one tattooed on me! the solo male was a sight to see! cruises so peacefully. Hoping to see some in Monterey soon!

[@shellycroskey5360]

I saw your videos for the first time today & watched them all with tears of awe & joy streaming down my face. The closest I've been to an orca was at sea world. The orca I saw had is dorsal fin bent over to the side, so to see this majestic huge male in your video made me wonder how broken hearted the orca must have been at sea world for it's fin to be so bent over. 😢😢😢 what a world of difference between that orca & the one in this video! Your videos are amazing, and God bless you for making me feel like I was right there with you! I went through half a box of kleenex & felt cleansed & so full of joy just watching these majestic animals in their natural habitat! I've always been obsessed with orcas, dolphins, and humpback 🐋 whales, so your videos are right up my alley! God bless you and keep these amazing videos coming!

[@LayllasLocker]

Wow, lucky people for living in such a place. ♥ This September I am traveling to Mo'orea for humback whale expedition. I've never seen any whale in RL. So excited.

[@Kiraiko44]

Like a lot of older millennials (and probably young gen Xers) I have been in love with Orcas since I watched Free Willy as a kid. They're still one of my favorite animals, definitely my favorite marine animal

[@peforster6725]

I'm a few years older. I remember as a young child in the 70's watching a documentary of how they captured Orcas in the wild, often killing some in the process. We live close enough to drive to Marineland, but I never wanted to go, or take my kids there.

[@MrElectricSkittles]

That dorsal is insane.. he is an absolute beast.. Very unusual for an orca to not have a pod though.. Is there more information on why this is? He must be one hell of a hunter

[@juliehoward7396]

My question also. Would really like to know where he's going all by himself, and how many feet high is that dorsal fin?
