Orcasm in Norway - Biggest gathering of killer whales ever filmed

20 years as a orca guide and I have never seen so many orcas in the same time before, we estimated it to be around 300 orcas in the same spot feeding on a giant school of herring. Here is the RAW footage taken on my Sony A7SII with a Sigma 35mm f/1,4.

For anyone wondering about the orca with the collapsed dorsal fin, at the end of the video - no, this was not ever a captive orca. This is an entirely wild population. Although not common, collapsed dorsal fins are found in wild orca groups, from time to time. Some could be the result of stress or injury, but others appear to show up in family groups, suggesting a genetic link. Not much is known about wild orca dorsal fin collapse due to the relative rarity, but it does exist.

[@orcaguide.youtube]

Around 5% of the male orcas in Norway have this "drooped fin", I can't really tell you why. Almost 100% of all the male orcas in captivity has it and the reason is lack of movement. Because they are in a small tank they can't exercise there spin muscle enough and they can't keep the big dorsal fin erect. :(
