He is just there giving instructions. You can see that after the seal falls into the water, one of the Orcas swim right past the seal and lets it get back on the ice. At the 2:11 mark, more Orcas show up and participate in the class coming out of the water in unison. If they wanted that seal for a meal, the largest Orca only need to smash the ice.

Very impressive - Both the Orcas' intelligence as well as the seal's evasive ability. Orcas in other parts of the world briefly beach themselves in an effort to catch seals.

[@lukasgnarfer820]

possible but as many people suggest this might be even more impressive as the orcas are possibly just training a young one this technique, by circling the ice floe the seal has no choice but to keep hopping back onto it, wich gives the next generation of whales a perfect learning seassion on how to hunt seals, since the seal keeps hopping back on the ice on the opposite side that it went into the water it is very unlikely that the orcas never had a chance to grab it when the seal went right by them, very impressive either way :)

that's the strategy of the orcas making an artificial tidal waves to wash out seals to the ice floe. Based on statistics only a hundred orcas could do this tactics its a difficult to them to mastered it in a synchronized way. They adopt it through training like breaching and playing with the pods as their practice and training ground. The Intellectual Quotient of an orca is as same as a 16 year old human. Its hard to underestimate this incredible intellect mammals. The seal looks resisting throughout the threats of being a lunch here but if that seal is sickened, injured or weak there would be no chance the seal to survive.

These Orcas must have a degree in physics 😮

[@mshourba27]

Aww everytime i saw the seal scramble back on the ice ❤️I was deff rooting for the guy

[@jdoust007]

I loved it so cool that he got back but I felt the immense fear for the seal

[@abhinavsingh1757]

I mean who are the fools who disliked this video courage of intelligent seal deserves infinity likes👍

[@user-eo1cu5pr7q]

🤝👏👏👏🚩

At 2:10 you can see one of the orcas giving the cue to start the wave, then again at 2:39. This is clearly a training session for the younger orcas.

Ihr steht da und feiert den Kampf ums nackte Überleben 😂👌 Is echt faszinierend wie intelligent die Orcas sind. Super gute Aufnahmen 👍

ออร์ก้าแม่งโคตรฉลาดเลย สุดยอดนักล่าที่มีแผนการล่าอยู่ในหัว มีการสร้างคลื่น ไปทางน้ำแข็ง ทำให้น้ำแข็งเกิดความเคลื่อนไหว และสั่นสะเทือน เพื่อที่จะให้แมวน้ำร่วงลงมาในน้ำ แล้วกินเป็นอาหาร

[@samkurly7270]

All the dislikes are the seals

[@marlonsouza2946]

A natureza seguindo seu curso, presa X predador. Acho incrível como a orca é articulada, estrategista e inteligente.

[@mcsheesh2052]

Am I the only thinking like 'Get Em Boys GET EM!' every time the wave hits the seal?

[@erickbates8320]

This guys parents teach him to play with his food. I remember getting told to stop when i was young.

[@peterjarnes25]

They have an instinctual plan for their young,... I suggest you do the same!

[@billwhitlock8463]

100% TRUTH!

[@TUKLASTV374]

Thank you very much

[@alexmancilla6107]

Amazing team work. The coordination between the 3 orcas to make the waves is stunning.

نعم تنسيق جميل

[@Babarflower]

Imagine if one of got in a situation like that , a certain death. But never give up. Strive to the end. Brave seal.

[@dieschildkrotenr.1251]

If the orcas wanted to kill the seal, they would... but they were just teaching the youngstars

[@NatanielBTeixeira]

Incrível a onda que criam!

[@4n7r4x9]

THE ORCAS DONT WANNA KILL THE SEAL. THEY ARE TEACHING TO THE JOUNGER ORCA TO DO THE JOB. THEY ARE PRACTICING!!! IN THE REAL HUNTING, IN TWO OR THREE TRIES THEY KILL THE SEAL...

[@johntate9612]

Orcas: We are gonna eat you for lunch...And guess what ? Seal : What ? .. Orca's : There's not a damn thing you can do about it....

[@averyfreeman6283]

A game of Death ! The orcas take there time, it's really not a rush for them. Love it.👍

[@floseatyard8063]

I think they also were showing some kids how to do it as they didn't kill it right away

[@busybillyb33]

I feel bad for the seal, but I laughed every time the seal scrambled back on to the ice out of nowhere. 😂

[@drushartilleros04]

When you want to detox but your friends invite you to parties... Lol

[@maddcom8814]

Amazing...nice video... Never seen before... 🤝🤝👍👍🤗🤗🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@sarahgiebel4955]

Das Interessante an diesem Video ist, dass das Schulunterricht für Orca-Teenies ist. Sie lernen! Diese Jagdstrategie ist kein instinktives Verhalten sondern eine erlernte Fähigkeit, die ein hohes Maß an Intelligenz und Koordination mit Artgenossen erfordert. Und man muss auch erwähnen, dass verschiedene Orcafamilien verschiedene Tricks beherrschen und diese an den Nachwuchs weitergeben, die dies wiederrum verfeinern.

Как косатки грамотно тюленя волной смывают,но им надо было кому-то ловить его с другой стороны льдины! А тюлень как за жизнь борется, молодец!

[@yauhenikavaliou3442]

Они тренируют молодняк смывать тюленей со льдин. Потому тюлень так долго жив

[@tattvamasi5717]

2:11 It was at this moment he knew..

[@anglowarrior3871]

When you're on a little ice flow and you see those orca's circling,you know you're time is coming to an end.

[@jameschilemi4690]

More suspenseful than a 200 million dollar blockbuster

It's a crual world but it's life.
