This is one of the main reasons they are the APEX predators of the sea with the main reason being their intelligence. Their speed and stamina can’t be matched by most of their prey and other predators. It’s incredible how they will chase a whale (like a pack of wolves) for that same amount of time and for miles, til the whale fatigues.

[@cloedythemedium]

Killer Whales are closely related to dolphins, and both are highly intelligent marine mammals who know exactly what humans are. There are no cases of humans being attacked by Killer Whales in the wild. What you see here in this video are Killer Whales doing the same thing that dolphins do whenever humans in boats are nearby, they swim alongside the boats and breach playfully.

[@44excalibur]

***** No, humans are never on the menu with Orcas. Like dolphins, Orcas are highly intelligent and well aware of what humans are. They have a natural curiosity about humans whenever we enter the water because like us, they are mammals with very large brains. It's ironic that you mentioned the Orca would make Jaws its bitch, because Orcas have been known to attack and kill Great White Sharks, but they are no threat to humans.

[@TheOrmsson]

killer whales are dolphins, the largest of the dolphin family

[@44excalibur]

TheOrmsson Yes, that's kind of what I meant when I said they are "related" to dolphins. Both Killer Whales and dolphins belong to the oceanic dolphin family.

[@victormcvic3579]

I bet if you threw someone into the sea with 10 orcas and left them there floating on the surface it would take about 30 mins or so before they start smashing the human out the water like a seal playing "games" with you...I'm pretty certain we are not on the food chain , but if left with them for so long out in the wild they would kill you. I don't dislike orcas but they have always scared me more than what a shark has. very (happy/agressive) animals. weird mix of friendly but incredibly brutal killers, they play with their food too by slapping seals around into the air breaking their bones to dust before they tare them apart. so if I was given the choice to be thrown to sharks or orcas I would pretty much cut my loses and hop into the sharks, I think I'd have a better chance of swimming away and not being playfully followed by a pod of orcas while you totally shit yourself. at least with sharks they decide weather they are gona eat you or leave you within a minute or 2.

[@44excalibur]

Davie otops Nope, if you threw someone into the sea with 10 Orcas, the Orcas would more than likely not bother the person, or they'd perhaps approach them with curiosity, but no differently than dolphins. There is a video of a dog that was swimming along a beach near feeding Orcas, and one of them approached the dog and pushed the dog to shore in order to make sure the dog was safely out of the way. The only reason that Orcas do what they do with seals is because seals are on the menu; humans and dogs are not.

Because they do kill, they are sometimes referred as the wolves of the sea (Panda bears are vegetarians!), they hunt in packs and are extremely vicious with their preys. They kill baby whales while the mother is nursing it by drowning, very horrible. Orcas although have highly developed social skills are very imposing, violent creatures always scouting the territory for Orca females and more baby whales. They are nasty evolved creatures. Don't mess with them...you don't want to deal with those teeths.

[@brettperry3737]

Because aside from humans. Orcas are THE apex predator. As someone else mentioned, they hunt like wolves. Only these wolves weigh five tons, have human-like intelligence, and are notorious for playing with their food while it's still alive. Hell they even kill sharks only to harvest particular organs, before abandoning the carcass and moving on to their next victim. And if that weren't enough; do some research on what they've been known to do to other (larger) species of whales. The real question is; what is it about us that attracts their curiosity even though they don't see us as food?

My knowledge is 65% from the recent Blackfish documentary and 35% remembered facts from middle school, but I still think it's definitely stronger than some chump's assumption that "killer whale" name = aggressive monster. Killer whales are pretty peaceful creatures who have never attacked a human with the exception of incidents at Seaworld, done by creatures who basically went batshit after being kept in essentially little bitty bathtubs for a decade or more. Killer whales can recognize family members and can mourn the loss of their young. I'm pretty sure these whales here were having a great time flyin' in those waves, and that's all.

Imprisoned orcas have killed, but that was because they should never be caged.

I'm more concerned about the people who mite make a terrible mistake the whales can take care of themselves.

[@franklinweston1201]

Actually theres a bunch of videos on people free diving with orcas and they never were touched or even bothered , they are peaceful creatures. Of course an animal , mammal , or even person can become dangerous once feeling threatened so they could attack but they are very intelligent and know we dont pose a threat to them .

[@Darkboy2525]

What an extraordinary experience! You are so , so sooo lucky ! I remember swimming with a dolphin in my life, it was so extremely heart warming and extremely otherworldly. It was one of the most beautiful experience in my entire life. The joy you feel, the connection on that moment, trusting him, it was so insanely amazing !

[@Anonymaeg]

so many people commenting saying the lady is a whale .. seriously you need to grow up, sure i'm not saying she's "thin" but she's far from obese !

[@dwarfie24]

Yeah, many unnecresary comments, really sad that the internet can have kind of effect on people, Actually now that I think about I ahve experienced more of this comments when theres a lady in the video. Either thats just me or some people really need to grow up.

[@johnanstirman2958]

Everytime a fat person is on any boat, killer whales get confused thinking that someone has kidnaped one of their own. I dont blame the whales , but people who allowed fat people on their boats. There is a weight limit on everything!!!.

[@afa78djd]

Says Anonymaeg the girl dressed like a fucking animal. bwahahahahaha.

[@dwarfie24]

Parker Andrews I feel there are too many mean and unnecresary comments here about the lady. calling her a whale and stuff like that. Also according to your comment its ound like youa are saying everybody does it, so its okay.

[@adamglover2960]

John Anstirman lmao thats why the whales were chasing them lol

[@10995]

Reason they play like Dolphins is because that is what they are. Orca's are not whales but Dolphins.

[@KatGlos]

+Adam Kelleher They're all whales.

[@10995]

Katie True, but there are more than one type of toothed whale, and the Orca is a member of the Oceanic dolphin group. That is why they act so much like Dolphins, because they ARE Dolphins.

[@wilde4945]

Yes, agreed. Beautiful video of Orcas enjoying themselves! See how close they are to the boat! Incredible dexterity and finesse, an evolutionary triumph and very deep intellect

[@alucardhellsing1037]

No Orca has attacked a human in the wild

[@SuperMattstube]

ignorant statement

[@casbah1982]

Bu I'm willing to guess that plenty of orca have been attacked by human

[@CT--gs1wj]

No fatal attacks have occurred in the wild, there were attacks but they're accidental. We look nothing like what they normally eat or see in their habitat (fish, squid, crustacea, seals, porpoise,...), so there's no reason for them to attack us. Also many Orcas live couple of miles close to the coasts (residents or transients), so human-Orca contact would be quite common, and yet attacks have remained rare.

[@shayyman]

In recent history maybe, it seems the orcas in the pacific used to be quite mean to ships

[@Swiftrevoir]

Ships were probably quite mean to them first. Elephants hide their tusks because they know people find them valuable. Orcas are just as smart or smarter.

[@gabrielacardona125]

OMG SO AMAZING SO LUCKY ONCE IN A LIFETIME YOU ARE SO BLESSED CONGRATS ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY

[@midobecker1]

Killer whales are indeed Dolphins. They are considered the giant Dolphins. They are not whales at all. So powerful and intelligent that they make white shark run for their life.

[@midobecker1]

You are so lame. Don't you run away in a car or a yatch? If you want to get grammatically correct. The swimming away trying to scape from Killer Whales. You are the worst troll ever.

[@maplesyrup5227]

***** clever lol

[@midobecker1]

What are you talking about??? My blood pressure is right on the dot. 12/7. Besides, I wasn't infuriated nor rattle by anything you said. I just stated two facts. You are awful as a troll and killer whales are in fact dolphins. =)

[@maplesyrup5227]

Don't be too literal he was just making light jest of a phrase you used metaphorically. Didn't seem very troll-ish at all to me.

[@midobecker1]

Screw his light jest of the phrase. He is a clown who was looking for attention. My mistake was that I gave to him. He is an asshole and that's as undeniable as Killer whales are dolphins. He doesn't know me to act like that. He is the one who take phrases literally and use it to make a sorry of a joke.

[@zachp8163]

Orca: EY BOYS! We got a married couple! Let's give em a show!

[@TheTTVCrew]

Okay I know I am VERY immature...but did she have to use those two whale names? 0:43 Out of all the names of whales? She chose those two?

[@AngryK1tty]

+TheTTVCrew Jesus Christ, are you 10?

[@TheTTVCrew]

AngryKitty Lol dude it was a joke. I was being more sarcastic than anything :P

[@HKS1619]

+TheTTVCrew LOL ! XD

[@Wolfmoonqueen]

LMAO CTFU I was thinking the same thing😂😂😂😂😂

[@josh__mclendon]

+TheTTVCrew It's because humpbacks and sperm whales are the most common. It's rare to see a pod of Orcas.

[@michelle-b5402]

So jealous...... absolutely beautiful!!!! My favorite.

[@smcneal057]

How do you know these orcas weren't escorting you all out of their mating area?

[@petezereeah517]

ROFL....Good point.

[@expressrobkill]

there not whales and fair point but its because dolphins tend to do this with boats for extra speed.

[@someguy4400]

Bat5hade well, they don't know, they could be confused about the boat, chasing them, or playing, nobody can assume what they were doing

[@VenezuelaNow]

It would be nice if CNN provided a link to couple's KZbin channel with the original footage

[@kayshelton2132]

RichardMHoward is the channel

[@PALLADINARC]

yeah we see them chasing dolphins just like this, then they play with them, and then they kill them. they're predators you were being stalked

[@nextlifearotti]

well, they apparently did it for an hour..not real efficient for apex predators, eh?

[@anhphan1568]

redher It's because they are apex predators that they tend to play with their food.

[@PALLADINARC]

Well If you ever saw one in real life youd know they are extremely efficient predators. IF they wanted to they could have had them. They were playing, They dont always eat what they kill and they dont always kill what they play with. They are very intelligent.When I was a child I watched them herd seals onto a small island in an estuary.There were four of them and they worked together, herding the seals onto the rock and then coming out of the water onto the isle and picking the seals of one by one.

[@PALLADINARC]

Once we were fishing for salmon and as they chased salmon under our boat one's fin bumped our boat. It was a 21 ft boat and rocked that boat from gunwale to gunwale. He wasnt even trying. If he was he probably couldve capsized us.

[@chayito7]

Wow!!! What an honor!!! Orcas must sense that this couple was marine animal lovers¡ That is a truly amazing experience!! So happy for them!!! 👏👏👏👏😍💜🐬🦈🐠🐳💜

[@harleyjames8806]

That seems really friggin' scary to me.

[@MiamiPush2theLimit]

Yes, fucking terrifying

[@JmanEspresso]

THIS, and ONLY this way, is how we should experience the beauty of these animals. In the natural environment, when THEY choose to show us how amazing they are. On THIER own terms. Besides the fact that this is not inhumane, tell me this isn't worlds better than some bullshit seaworld show. This isn't rehearsed, forced by starving acrobatics.. this is real life Orcas, enjoying the natural open ocean. Get the Orca whales out of these theme parks and back where they belong. #blackfish

[@YunielReyes]

I Hate the "NEW KZbin" they started putting all this stupid ADS >:(

[@YunielReyes]

Ok

[@ABrokenLink]

The speed that these massive & majestic creatures move

[@thevinyljunkie]

they're not playing... they're chasing... ever seen frozen planet??

[@thevinyljunkie]

***** you obviously havent seen frozen planet then. A group of whales are filmed trying to wash a cameraman out of his boat using the same technique they use to wash the seals from the ice bergs to eat them. www.discovery.com/tv-shows/frozen-planet/videos/filming-a-killer-whale-hunt.htm

[@thevinyljunkie]

Using the same logic as you, I dismiss all of your theory as incorrect because it is not interesting. That makes a shit load of sense doesn't it.

[@thevinyljunkie]

You didn't quite get that last comment did ya? Let me rephrase - You were dismissing fact because it is 'not interesting' - I was merely pointing out to how ridiculous that it is by doing exactly the same... but you totally missed that. Another point - An Orca is not a whale. It is a dolphin. Also, at what point did I say I thought all whales 'follow boats trying to kill humans'. Have I just got into a youtube debate with an adolescent? Whoops.

[@afa78djd]

Well, they probably thought she was a whale herself and had been captured by the boat. Maybe it was a rescue effort?

[@Glass_Caskets]

Nope. Nope. Nope.

[@Lil17Lil]

Wow absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous! I love them orcas! Very playful and fast!!! 😍

[@Akeakamai]

Duh... The orcas were surfing in the wake that the boat was making. Dolphins do it all the time. Why is it such a surprise that orcas would also do it? It is likely that it's not something we humans usually see. Thus, the surprise. It certainly indicates that cetaceans in general are extremely intelligent and resourceful.

[@kellinepickett4979]

Everything you said in your comment was already stated in the video. 1)She said that as soon as the boat moved the Orcas started playing in the wake. 2) She said it was a once in a lifetime thing (which of course speaks to why they're so excited 3) They weren't surprised to see a cousin of a dolphin (re: the Orca) doing what dolphins do, that's not where the excitement was, it was in seeing them close up to the boat and having the time to see their eyes and observe them, which she stated in the video. Nobody ever said anything about not understanding what they were doing or why. On the contrary, clearly they know what the whales were doing and why. I suppose I'm just confused as to why you restated everything in the video. Absolutely no offense meant.

[@Akeakamai]

Kelline Pickett No offense taken.

I'm pretty sure they'd be ok.

[@queequegtheater6093]

Also pretty sure that they know to stay away from fast moving sharp things (unlike some people).

[@hardymonty]

You can tell by the shape of the dorsal fin that it is a local pod. Transient dorsal fins are usually long and narrow in comparison to short and wide in local pods. And transient orca's feed primarily on fish, not mammals. Although being an opportunistic feeder is an evolutionary advantage nearly 100% of the time. I am a fish biologist, and although I have never directly worked with or studied orca I have a healthy respect for them. If you don't think they see you as a potential food item then you are kidding yourself. The rule of thumb in nature is, "if it fits in your mouth its edible". The reason you don't see many recorded kills is due to some very simple facts. 1.) Orca and human very rarely interact due to geographic separation, 2.) You would be extremely alien to an orca. Their mind set would probably be inquisitive at first. Until they worked out that you did not pose a threat and were edible. 3.) Most large mammals and fish associate people with danger and usually keep their distance.

[@newperve]

"The rule of thumb in nature is, "if it fits in your mouth its edible". " That's the rule for some species not for all by any stretch. Sharks for instance rarely eat people, even though we clearly fit in their mouths (or would after a few shakes). Killer whales NEVER eat people, even though we've interacted for centuries and even cooperated at one point. They know our capabilities. They know we're not a threat. In fact they probably figured that out five minutes after they met us.

[@hardymonty]

You are looking at this with a very narrow mind set. Killer Whales, unlike human beings, are still a part of nature; where the law of natural selection still governs. Killer Whales consume elephant seals... are you trying to imply that they do not eat us because "they" recognize us as intelligent creatures? If this is your argument then I completely disagree. In nature an animals very survival depends on it taking EVERY opportunity to feed. These animals can sometimes go days, weeks, and even months without anything substantial for food. And my statement earlier in the post, "if it fits in your mouth it's edible", is entirely true... 100% in nature.

[@newperve]

Ty Hardymon "You are looking at this with a very narrow mind set." No I'm looking at it with a view at the evidence. Killer whales in the wild do not attack humans. I didn't say that they didn't attack us because we're intelligent, just that they don't attack us. We probably don't taste good. "very survival depends on it taking EVERY opportunity to feed." Not true, lots of animals feed selectively, ignoring some prey if they can get better. " And my statement earlier in the post, "if it fits in your mouth it's edible", is entirely true... 100% in nature. " No it's full of shit. Try looking at the actual facts.

[@newperve]

Ty Hardymon ". And I do have scientific evidence, and observations, to back up my statements. " No you don't. There is no evidence of Orcas eating humans in the wild. There is no evidence of Orcas attacking humans they knew to be humans in the wild. That's why you talked about chimpanzees you moron, because the evidence on Orcas is all against you. ". But what you don't have the right to do is make up your own facts.' I didn't, you did. The claim that animals eating anything that fits in their mouth is universal isyou making up your own facts. It's not true and there's no evidence that it's true. "I am a biologist and I have worked and studied fisheries science for years. " You're not and you haven't. If you had you would have known not to make bullshit claims about Orca behaviour. "The reason these chance encounters between humans and Killer whales do not always end violently; " Do not EVER end violently. There is maybe 2 cases of Orcas biting humans, both of them apparently due to Orcas mistaking them for prey species and abandoning the attack when they realised they were humans. "is mostly due to the fact that they have never seen a human up close before. " Untrue, there were plenty of Orcas that frequented whaling areas and saw humans up close. They even cooperated in places like Twofold Bay in Australia. Your ignorance is complete. Look shut the fuck up. You know nothing so just listen to your betters. "But I promise you... given the time and the opportunity it would eventually work out that you were food. " And yet it hasn't happened in hundreds of years.

[@hardymonty]

feel free to check out my facebook page or even google search my name. You will see that I am in fact a fisheries biologist. Your ignorance of natural relationships is mythic. And can only be outdone by your booming personality. I'll not be responding to this thread anymore since it is no longer productive. Take care.

[@asmrjudie]

what a unforgettable experience. lucky couple

[@wannabehendrix]

Anybody notice that NONE of those Orcas had a bent dorsal fin?

[@newperve]

Yeah, that only happens in captivity.

[@thebakerman111]

I was wondering about that myself.

[@TheChoujinVirus]

Michael Price but isn't bent dorsals more prevelant in older males than the younger males or females? I've seen orcas in captivity and they didn't have bent dorsals

[@kukui79]

***** They're nearly universal in males in captivity -- not in wild orcas, male or females. The captive ones you saw without bent dorsals were likely females (though sometimes captive females get them as well). Occasionally wild orcas have bent dorsals, but it's not very common.
