Another captive orca, Kayla, died on 28 January 2019 at SeaWorld. Her mother died at 15 yrs; her father at 26, and her calf at 2 yrs. Female orcas usually live a minimum of 50 yrs in the wild.

[@ynoten]

@@ksc743 Seaworld should close down, seriously.

[@ksc743]

Tony So - nice to hear from a like-minded individual:) I believe SeaWorld have stopped breeding their orca at least. Whether they stick to that promise only time will tell. Long gone are the days when they tried to pull the wool over our eyes by telling the public these are 'research' centres. The marine life in these sterile tanks exhibit repetitive behaviour never seen in the wild, such as banging their heads against the tank walls. The tanks cannot contain any enrichment for the orcas, dolphins and sea lions because of bacteria that could cause illness; they have to keep the tanks sterile and clean; free of anything that would help relieve the daily boredom of the creatures they keep imprisoned. The boredom these animals endure year after year after year is eventually what kills them. But I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know I'm sure. Were you aware that recently 100 beluga whales and orcas have been kept captive in tiny sea pens off the coast of East Russia - destined for 'marine parks' in China. China has sadly only just caught on to the money making potential of zoos and marine parks, whereas everyone else is moving away from these parks. I never thought I'd ever like Putin, but he has ordered the release of these 100 mammals, some who have already died, and others already dying - young whales taken from their mothers. So yes, I couldn't agree with you more. SeaWorlds everywhere should be closed down. And spare a thought for orcas like Lolita, languishing in a very small concrete bowl entirely alone, when orcas are highly sociable animals like us. She is merely existing, not living. And there are many like her scattered around the USA and the world. Too sad for words. If I had Jeff Bezos' money, besides helping with other philanthropic projects, I would pay the owners of marine parks to close down so that a huge natural park around an island in the sea could be built as a ginormous orca and dolphin sanctuary. . They can never be released back into the wild, so this is the next best thing. Apologies for the long post but I am just SO passionate about this planet of ours. We really need to look after it 🐝💙💚

I remember swimming slow back to shore, because I didn’t want to draw attention. I knew it was an Orca as soon as I saw the black and then white patch by its eye. The swim back seemed vary long and I was too scared to look back because I knew what Orcas aka Killer whiles are capable of. I look back and think it was just giving me a friendly hello.

Every orca released from captivity has died. Either of exposure or pure loneliness. So don't get all Greenpeace about releasing captive orcas. Look what happened to Shamu

[@abthurd]

Correct. Orca or dolphins that being kept in captive almost 80% couldn't survive in wild. Orca in particular is highly socialized animal. Each pod, each ecotype has its own 'language' of communication eventhough it sounds the same to us. They can't just simply hey what's up other orcas and join them. More importantly the hunting skills are passed down by the MOTHER to the juvenile. This is why being kept captive is detrimental to any animals. In wild they learnt it from the leader/parents. You minus that, they're bound to be kept captive forever because that's the only way they could survive. The best option is to place them in a sanctuary where they will still be fed, taken care of medically and given as much freedom as they could get like it would be in the wild.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

My great, great, great grandfather was a whaler from New Bedford Massachusetts. New Bedford was for many years regarded as the whaling capital of the United States if not the world. I am not bragging. I am merely stating an unfortunate fact. I have visited that city and it's whaling museum more than once. I have one of his journals. In it he writes about killing his first "steeple top" whale. That is what some New Bedford whalers called Bowhead whales. That journal entry date was August 19, 1856. His father, grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather, that's five generations, were whalers. In 1997, an acquaintance of mine who taught zoology at a major university took me on a trip up to Greenland on his university's research vessel. I was interested in arctic and sub arctic molluscs. He had loftier pursuits. On our third day he became very excited. He had spotted something from the crow's nest and came down the mast very quickly. We boarded a kodiak and headed out to a small iceberg. There was an immense bowhead whale swimming about. My friend told me it appeared he was probably eating. We got to within a hundred meters with our kodiak and cut the motor and just went to town taking as many photos as possible. I used half my 200 rolls of film that day alone mostly on that one whale. I didn't know that much about whales relying on my friend to inform me. He told me that was possibly a record size Bowhead. There's pretty much no way to know of course as you can't just motor up beside them and get out a measuring tape. He estimated it was roughly 60 feet long. That's about half again as long as the house I grew up in. What really blew me away is that he estimated it's age at roughly 200 years! Having already read my ancestor's journals and having looked up steeplehead and learning it was a nick name for bowhead whales, it occurred to me that not only was this whale alive while my ancestor was busy killing a member it's species, it could very well have been present to witness it and could be the brother of the one my ancestor wrote about. It certainly is possible and dare I say likely that it remembered watching humans hunt and kill it's family all throughout the first half of it's lifetime. Then this majestic old man of the sea approached to within about 30 meters and breeched. Even at that distance I had to look up to see it. Then it swam right up to our fragile little kodiac and brushed it with one of it's pectoral fins. It could have killed us with no more effort than we take swatting a fly. It didn't of course. It merely brushed the side of our kodiac very gently being careful not to rip the raft open with all the barnacles attached to it's rough flesh. Then it swam off to feed. Remember that scene in Juraisic Park when the T-Rex approaches the car and swats it around like a bug? Now imagine a leviathan seven times that big swimming right up to your tiny twelve foot rubber raft. Now imagine it gently touching that raft with a hand bigger than you are. Truly a gentle giant. It most likely encountered in it's youth whalers who fought in the American Revolution. It could have personally witnessed three or four or possibly five generations of my own family murdering it's family. It may have battle wounds from those encounters. It certainly was covered with ancient scars. That whale had or has a brain roughly 7 times the size of a human brain. it may very well be far more intelligent than we mere humans. it was certainly many more times more compassionate to us as our species was to his.

In a small village on the coast orcas would actually wake up the whalers early in the morning by slapping their tails on the water to let the whalers know that it was time to hunt! All the orcas wanted in return was the tongue of the whales who were caught.

^ I had been to a Aquarium as a kid a lot of times in S.A and people there where quite respectful. Nobody touched the glasses and they where supervised

[@MD-hx3wf]

Beautiful.. out of this world.

[@youcouldvebeengettingdownt5620]

they are climbing up so fast to number one in my fave animals list

[@charliephipps3892]

God those loud screeches give me flashbacks to the dentists

[@Keithlfpieterse]

INCREDIBLE! Thanks for the beautifully made portrait.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

This was awesome ! Thank you .

[@filipporossi5808]

In another life i want to be an orca, such a magnificent creatures 😍

[@ablue5419]

Orcas and all marine mammals are gift from God to the oceans.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I'll bet some fish disagree with your statement.

[@0043habara]

A Blue: You're right God made Orcas as a gift then the devil responded He made human beings

[@stenvallkrista]

nah, it is all wonder of nature and evolution. still amazing creatures!

[@kirapoodle]

Whatever floats your boat

[@wannorafiqah2254]

I love the sound of whale, plus with the bird & shore... Its soooo sothing me...

[@joslinnick]

It's crazy to think of how much food those orcas need to eat.

[@steinhvik4380]

Loudest sound Ive heard was a big bull whale slamming its tail in the water close to an Orca pod...they left him and went somewhere else.

[@violetlove1893]

I love Orcas!! They are sea angels. But when i hear them communicate it makes me want to cry..

[@thundercat5213]

I assume it must suck to watch humans taking away your food

[@jordancourse5102]

My favorite animal on this planet.

[@davinccihubbard3742]

I love this creature.

[@smallone9825]

144 wild orcas captured for entertainment parks....shame on anyone who pays to watch these Beautiful animals kept against their will 🖤🤍

[@annyoung6560]

I use the sound of orcas and other whales when I have trouble falling asleep. It helps me to relax my mind, body and soul.

[@ShiningGalaxy01]

@Ann Young Orcas are dolphins, not whales.

[@Brandon4Christ]

A majestic wonderus creature

[@celestebrusciano3637]

That was so awesome!!!

[@bjrnjohanhumblen8620]

Those seagulls in the middle of the night wouldnt be so active at night if it wasnt a lot of fish falling into the ocean or coming out of the boat because ive never seen that before

[@jr5389]

I was take by my parents aged 4 to the Zoo I’ve never went back to zoos.....etc. At 4 years old I could see the pain in the animals eyes.......that was 54 years ago......🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😞

[@hannahanana8241]

very good documentation

[@jamesbeitia1353]

Much respect for these fisherman!!!

[@calicoya]

Their voices r beautiful ~ ❤️❤️❤️

[@42x3]

What is the average amount of fish being lost from the nets? Has a Marine biologist calculated the food to Orca ratio from the boats? What is the duration of the coexistence? Does this seasonal event correspond to other Marine events? Have the pods been identified as reoccurring group or transient? Orcas, similar to other large aquatic mammal life, need a large fatty diet. When they are not being opportunistic at this location, are they making the run north for a seal hunts? The photography is exactly in the video, however I need more scientific answers.

[@elliecharlxtte]

42x3 if the orcas in this area eat fish then that's what they eat, they are not at all known for eating both fish and seals and hence would not swap from one to the other, orcas are picky eaters and pods from certain areas will only eat certain foods

[@kerrieabrown157]

Yes, they are the same Super Pod, that consist of a few smaller families. They know when, the know where.. they move on, the return.....

[@manutemple1023]

Shut up ! It's Dum ass Question's like your's that Justify some Idiot to go and Hound them to get the Answer . Do the Boat Captains Care ? They are not LIKE US , FIGHTING over WHOSE FISH it is , What RACE of ORCA you are .

[@mxgryan]

Whales and dolphins are so much smarter than we realize, I believe.

[@John-Nada]

Hauntingly surreal images

[@denisSwe]

they are amazing and smart i love to learn about them

[@AbigailBrickler]

They’re such beautiful, complex animals.

[@nestcuni]

Beautiful!

[@holdtrue2021]

Especially @5:18 panda 🐼 sea family 😉

[@BrianAndersonTT]

I think they were enjoying the reflective effect of the scales like how humans do at parties/new years celebrations.

[@ringo1692]

I know it's crass but some of those sounds definitely sounds like farts LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rocker76m88]

😂😂😂I was thinking the same thing

[@nirvashajithoo4359]

Orcas are smart marine mammals. They are beautiful, majestic, powerful and rule the ocean like no other marine mammal.

[@froggreen2067]

The sounds alone...

[@billymeadows328]

Land is like outer space to the orca.

[@jenniffermejia103]

this was mesmerizing! thank you so much for sharing!

[@mm39607]

Majestic animals, my all time favourites ❤️🙌🏻 we need to keep protecting them!!!

[@charlesmartin1121]

Orcas are not the most wide spread vertebrates on earth...our species has that distinction.

[@michaelt.5672]

Not really. Orcas inhabit practically every part of the worlds oceans. Which cover more area than land. Thus, the habitat of the orca is larger than that of humans.

[@charlesmartin1121]

@@michaelt.5672 Sorry wrong. Humans occupy both the land and the oceans. Oh and by the way, I guess you have not kept up with the latest research, because there is no longer just one species of Orca, but many established by genetic research.
