Orcas Kill a Dolphin & Rays Jump Completely Out of Water

[@leahsyl81]

So nice to see Orcas on here! I absolutely love Orcas and could literally watch them for hours on end. Most certainly my favorite animal!! Thanks so much for sharing 💕

[@mrkipling2201]

Brilliant animals. They’re the true apex predators of the ocean. There’s a video on KZbin of Orcas killing a Tiger shark and it’s crazy, the way they dwarf the shark.

[@GorgyPorgy65]

I can't stand them...they could decimate whale and Great White populations ...

I love your videos and look forward to new ones. I was born in Tofino and I tried to living in Winnipeg when I was 19. Six months in and after one of the coldest winters I watched a special on Vancouver Island, I cried. I was back on the Island the following week. The first thing I did was go to the beach and I was home. It's been 40 years and I've never lived more than 10 minutes from the ocean and when I need to recharge I walk on the beach. It's part of my soul.

[@tichu7]

I was just in Tofino last week, where a sea lion swam just metres from my surfboard. It feels like magic to be a place where humans are the visitors instead of animals having to accommodate us.

[@benc9765]

Would love to visit tofino, it’s always been on my bucket list

[@MermaidMusings7]

World-renowned marine biologist Alexandra Morton observed three dolphins swimming with a pod of killer whales in British Columbia. A pilot whale calf was seen swimming with killer whales in Iceland. Some killer whales feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals.

[@benc9765]

Exactly - depends on if the pod is resident or transient … You can tell these are transient by the size of the pod they travel in and it looks to be females and young which is typical of transient pods

Orcas kill Dolphins and baby whales for fun......half the time they don't even eat them.....they are complete jerks.

[@benc9765]

@@obijuankenobi420 - Not sure that’s entirely true!

[@obijuankenobi420]

@@benc9765 According to Marine Biologists its a fact.

[@benc9765]

@@obijuankenobi420 - I’m aware of surplus killing, just the fact you said “half the time” which is not true I mean … Dolphins (Orca are dolphins remember, not whales) are known for surplus killing but orca, especially pacific orca usually kill for food!

[@dawnehelene59]

Something to share: I live directly on the Gulf of Mexico in SW Florida. "Our" dolphins have developed a fishing "technique" that's both amazing and ingenious. (especially when the snook are running) We have a sandbar running parallel to the beach which, depending on the tide, is anywhere from 4.5'-6' deep. The dolphin chase then PIN the fish to the floor of the sand bar with their SNOUTS! (I kid you not!) They literally stand on their heads, tails flopping out of the water and crush the life out of their prey before nom, nom, chomp, chomp. (the first time I watched this behavior from my balcony, I thought I'd drunk too much Chardonnay...lol) Absolutely amazing and incredibly cool.

[@mrkipling2201]

That’s amazing!! I bet it’s a wonderful thing to see!! I would have thought the same as you if I had seen it for the first time, too much vino!!

[@pbspbs4882]

As alwaysI have been waiting for a new video since I saw the last. I loved every single one of them since I have discovered your channel. Today I came for the Orcas and was facinated by the Mantas. I love your way to narrate your stories and am amazed by the beautiful material you gather constantly. Thank you for all of it.

[@harislittle9241]

Love your content, such amazing footage and narration!

Oh wow, what a dream workshop! I wish I could've joined you! Fantastic footage, as always! 😍

[@strangersontheinternet]

I love Orcas!! 🤩… I‘m currently watching the 0800-see-orca series on KZbin and now this!

[@pbspbs4882]

I am too watching 800 see orca, lovely to find like-minded people in the eternal YT-verse. I actually found this channel through a comment on Marc Robert Lehmans Channel.

[@benc9765]

Amazing, wasn’t even aware of this series, I love ingrid visser, thanks for this!

[@chavalider]

I love watching these videos before I go to sleep. They are so relaxing and beautifully insightful. Beautiful music and editing. Thank you.

[@puppy2haley]

Stunning footage!! Love your channel. I was so fortunate to see a Orca pod in Alaska 7 weeks ago. Also saw humpbacks & sea lions. I marked several things off my bucket list. 👍👍🐋🐳🐬🦑🐙 Please keep posting your videos. 👍

[@nekoizmase9]

Orcas are amazing, they are my favorite animal. So intelligent and so beautiful. I know they don't attack humans, but man, I don't think there is animal that could kill you in more ways than orcas. Drowning, tail, teeth... Just beautiful and dreadful in the same time.

[@ashgould1747]

They actually can attack humans they are hunting animals very dangerous they can kill humans just as much as their food

[@jhp040980]

You are like Shark week and National Geographic combined! Absolutely amazing footage and so tastefully done! You are a jewel ☀️

[@theitineranthistorian2024]

steinbeck’s book is first person, scientific extravaganza with an occasional hangover. brilliant images to hopefully inspire the preservation of this habitat. he wrote about the exploitation, fishing fleets etc, of the sea, so many years ago.

[@_just_looking_thank_you]

Just beautiful.

[@benc9765]

Bit of a stretch but you would get some amazing footage if you head up to Tromso in the winter, the herring run with orca and humpback is absolutely magical and with your skills and the northern lights it would be exceptional!

[@lisatucker51]

Great video

[@erikhendrickson59]

What I find very interesting is that there are *ZERO* recorded attacks on humans by Orcas in the wild. On the other hand, there have been several recorded instances of Orcas in captivity *KILLING* humans.

[@Chewbecca101]

Their ability vs their inclination definitely varies. Orcas have mistaken people for their food source the way Great Whites have, but not as often.

[@benc9765]

This has been documented a lot - key thing here is stress … Social disruption and the inability to escape with other orca is a recipe for disaster … I’d advise you watch Blackfish if you get the chance

[@DanBharry]

Part of it is due to how the orcas are moved around. often captivity pods are a mix of pods from the pacific and atlantic, which have different speech patterns and cultural ways. coupled with many of them not knowing or being raised alongside their mothers and they get aggressive.

[@Chewbecca101]

@@DanBharry that is such an alienating and sad thought for them.

[@jrodowens]

Undoubtedly orca have killed humans in the wild - people have been co-existing (and competing with and probably hunting them at times) with these apex predators since the first hominids learned food could be obtained from the sea. We will never know just how many, the circumstances, etc because it is lost to prehistory. It may happen again one day, though maybe due to territoriality, memory of previous aggression by humans, etc rather than a predatory attack. Considering that practically every other medium-large organism is potential food for various populations, it is a (somewhat) curious phenomena that humans have yet to be documented as such... Many years ago I used to imagine that orcas had somehow transmitted the information down through the generations that we were too dangerous to kill (having witnessed whaling for centuries) but I do doubt its anything that fascinating.

[@Thylacinuscyno]

Poor rhincodon missing a fin :(( Beautiful content!!! I would love to do this one day!

[@OleDonKedic]

Loved going to Puerto Penasco ( rocky point) when living in Arizona. The water wasn’t as clear but that’s probably because I never went out far enough and it was at the far northern tip of the sea.

[@baniroka9206]

Orca's are by far my favourite animal since i was a little kid. i love all animals, but still they are the best of the best! I love ur vids!! ty

[@thomasmuller546]

Nice

[@marvinchristian401]

Nice footage! When are you going back to Guadalupe, Carlos?

[@armandoferreira8790]

Another great video Carlos. Thanks for sharing. Where in Baja you filmed the jumping rays? In what time of the year you can see this happen? Baja has been on my travel list since 1990 but I didn't get the chance to vacation there. However, I went once to Los Cabos on a business trip and had the chance to scuva dive around Land's End where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean.

[@obijuankenobi420]

"Look guys Im a bird !" - Ray

[@theitineranthistorian2024]

steinbeck nailed it many moons ago and saw the exploitation of the ocean floor on up by factory fishing ships. it’s precious, what is left. the ocean is challenged like never before.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

I could watch those rays swimming all day , the geometry is beautiful. Too bad that there's nothing there for scale. I'd like to see them next to something to see how big they are , how far they fly , etc.

[@marinawahl6727]

when i just read the title i have to like the video❤️

[@chargefive9521]

See you're finally coming out to Cape Cod! That's awesome, Are you just speaking and presenting or will you be staying long enough to capture some seal predation?

[@chir0pter]

It would be really cool if you could drop a submersible camera drone from your quadcopter drone. Just to be able to peek below the waves whenever you see something interesting

[@jeffmanning2195]

I live and kayak in the Santa barbara Chanel and Orcas are my dream encounter

[@amandaz9762]

Opening with masters of the belly flop! [Ouch 😫😂]. Always beautiful footage. The whales offer me few words. Wow in awe... 😍

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@cu4wur6023]

Interesting footage and subject. I’ve noticed a lot of footage and reports of late regarding Orca’s ramming boats, biting off rudders and even sinking some small boats. One theory being that they are spreading a message to each other to attack boats due to orcas being damaged by boats and fishing lines 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wouldn’t discount anything any more! Have you witnessed anything like this on your travels or heard people talk about it? Thank you once again 👏🏻❤️🇬🇧

[@augustonthefly]

The jumping rays could be trying to shake parasites.

[@jamesl2846]

I could have given this 3 likes, one for the quality of the video, one for the quote at the start which was nice, and another for finally admitting that nature is evil 👍👍👍

[@ivechang6720]

Here's my out of far left field idea: They are mating and stuff but you know everyone has their own type, right? Some want a quiet type, others want athletics, while some like me are into the musician/artist types. What if the jumps are their version of a live band? Maybe they just like partying & jamming to a good beat! 🤔

[@rottweilerfun9520]

I feel bad for the Dolphins but I love the Orcas too.

[@idontno0]

1:49 that dude had some hang time

[@pheejl7534]

I see salmons doing this (jumping out of water) around the harbour of Vancouver, BC, Canada. Sea fleas and lice attach themselves to the fish and annoy the poop out of them so they jump out of the water using the impact to rid themselves of the nuisances.

[@sophieadams8256]

What kind of drone do you have? This is so sick

[@SkSk-vh6ni]

I would LOVE more killer whale content!

[@Shaden0040]

The entire sea of Cortez should be made a nature preserve andall life inside it protected.

[@marek199]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@DeadSezSo]

Idk how those stingrays can just belly flop on the water, that ish hurts lol

[@malekith13]

I saw orcas i jumped in the video, since i can't jump with them ^^ By the way, what kind of drone do you use ? the image looks so clean :)

[@jgsg2620]

At 4:04 is that a glare on the right side of the screen goin into the water??

[@terrisharp3144]

I watched an orca kill a porpoise in Seward, Alaska in 2018

[@QUEENBEE200384]

I wander if these are the same group of orcas that ride the waves of boats in the Sea of Cortez.

[@Amber-OliverBear]

That’s gotta be some of the worst belly flops ! 😣

[@ElCyberWizard]

was that stingray flying

[@alexnutcasio936]

There’s a reason they jump and it’s the sound it makes upon landing. Sharks and whales do it as well.

[@jackg9006]

I would think if orcas wanted to attack a whale shark, the whale shark would not be able to escape...

[@gaddafigiraffi7805]

What species of dolphin did they kill and eat?

[@daniell5539]

Love it first

[@bari2883]

I’m guessing the fin missing from the whale shark is a result of humans and their impact on marine animals . Fishing lines and ropes😮

[@JimL2883]

God’s creation is so amazing!

[@hoviksmail]

Every stingray landing is a belly flop, lol.

[@Evil.Totoro]

I don’t think the whale shark’s missing chunk from its fin came from an orca attack…. Orcas are not sloppy…. They don’t leave survivors.

[@staciemurphy162]

So did they feed on the dolphin? Or just kill it? It’s hard to tell and I don’t want to see it but I wish you explained little more without getting graphic.

[@nanciebarnett5518]

Orcas are the largest dolphin in the dolphin family .

[@falcosparverius1]

The pod of Orca are feeding on the dolphin, it would be a waste of energy resources to tow around a prey item aimlessly. Orca do now possess shearing teeth like sharks, they require team work to tear large prey apart in palatable pieces.
