​@twizzm So by your logic, we shouldn't help animals that are in need otherwise we'd be "interrupting the food cycles"? That's just absolute horseshit. If it's feeding them, then I understand. We don't want wild animals to associate humans with food but helping them out even if it's just a tiny bit isn't "interfering the food cycles". Of course, as a nature documentor, you shouldn't interfere but these people aren't filming documentaries, they're tourists or something similar so they're not interfering anything

Aesop's story tells the tell of a hound dog chasing a rabbit. The rabbit darted this way and that, the dog started to tire and the rabbit with one last burst of speed made it away into some thickets. A farmer noticed the whole chase and yelled at the dog "Some Hunter you are! You let the rabbit get the best of you" The tired dog replies "You forget the rabbits strife. I was only running for my supper. He was running for his life". I think this applies here very much.

[@shellyshel2152]

Poor little penguin was probably so exhausted trying to outswim them. I'm glad it was safe and relieved. I feel bad for the whales also because I certainly understand they need to eat too but I'm glad for that day the little penguin escaped! 🐧❌🐋

[@caridennis3171]

Yeah they need to eat too, but I don’t think that one penguin is going to do much to feed a couple of orcas. Anyhow, glad the little guy got away from them

[@tigerlilly5579]

@@caridennis3171 The guy who helped the penguin on the boat was only depriving the orcaa of an appetizer! It would have been a miniscule subtraction from the orca’s diet, but it was life itself to the penguin. Whether a specific pod of orcas eat mainly fish or animals that feed on fish, the real deprivation to the orca’s diet is commercial overfishing.

[@salvadormendoza8535]

The think is more oscure that you would think. Usually orcas play with their food before eating them, so they actually were "torturing" the penguin, not actually trying to eat it.

Well, what is different to a "cooking" video, when a human prepares a steak on a grill with spicy marinade? If you step to the Orca's point of view, he fought hard to hunt down a meal and lost a lot of calories... Ultimately he and his children will starve to death, when all his prey is "as lucky" and rescued by humans. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for the Penguin, but we need to accept nature isn't a TV-Show with drama and happy endings, but most of the time a struggle for survival. Even plants are cruel out climbing their competition, blocking access to the sun, necessary for survival and fighting to keep their DNA in the gene pool. 😈

[@teresacarle294]

😨Yep, that lame rubber boat seems far too flimsy for those aquatic power houses. If they can flip whales & great white sharks, that craft⚓ seems like easy pickings in comparison. 👀Watched an impressive PBS nature doc detailing their highly aggressive hunting techniques from NoCal along West Coast🌊 to Southeast Alaska (& beyond). As a result, I wouldn't underestimate their might or stealth. Orcas (aka Shamu) are remarkably handsome ocean mammals. They're also curious, smart & sociable like their more ordinary dolphin "cousins" (aka Flipper). Of course, they differ in that they are hardcore whale KILLERS. They are considered apex predators 〰️ as no animals prey on them. Their pods work in strategic military precision to make their kills. They seem friendly, but I bet they were also assessing the situation. The Orcas clearly had both size & speed advantage over that penguin🐧, but they obviously did NOT fully engage in the pursuit. Luckily, they were more bored than hungry. Otherwise, that sea bird would've been a nice bite for one of them. Know they gotta eat 〰️ but I was 🎉happy🎉 the man helped the penguin get aboard! ☘ Bridget from Cali ☘ (using pal's YT acct)

@@odysseus2k1 humans are scrawny with very little meat and nutrition on our bones. Orcas waste whole sharks after eating just their livers and whole whales after eating just their tongues because those are the most nutritious parts and they have plenty more food around to hunt if they get hungry. Humans also have unhealthy eating habits full of GMOs and hormones and we willingly put drugs and chemicals in our bodies so we probably don’t even smell appetizing to them. That penguin was also probably just training for their young rather than an actual hunt as they weren’t even giving full speed chase, they weren’t desperate for that penguin

I can't understand why someone would dislike this video. It's not exactly like the humans actively interfered with the be hunt, the one woman kind of gave the little guy a shove in the back to ensure he was safe in the boat. I guess if you were hoping to see the little fella get turned into a bloody snack you have been disappointed but obviously many more people were happy to see the Gentoo survive. There are so many nature photographers and researchers filming the penguins on shore the little guys may have come to feel that we are kin folk of theirs. Our jackets and cold weather gear resemble the colors of the penguins so they felt we were a distant kin of theirs. When the orcas began to chase it it knew it would be safe in the boat.

Orcas are incredibly smart animals, and yes they could have coordinated an attack on the boat, but their intelligence told them otherwise. I believe they communicated this amongst themselves as they followed the boat as well. Unfortunately, it's not because they want to be out friends, it's because they understand that there would be repercussions if they committed such an act against the humans.

Seriously!

[@lindalakota38]

Love the person who cought the penguin he jumped right into the arms of that person best part of the whole thing

[@Emy53]

These people are lucky that Orca didn't capsize that boat. Clever penguin.

[@juliav.mcclelland2415]

Orcas know how to knock seals off ice floes. If they wanted to overturn that boat, they could've easily done it.

[@puntabachata]

Sightseeing tour turns into rescue mission. Great job on the assist 👍

[@Cymp_]

My heart literally dropped when that penguin failed to jump the 1st time

[@aussiedownunder4186]

Beautiful contact. Penguins know we mean them no harm. Just beautiful.

[@redzoom7857]

Orcas were like, “hey wait a minute, where the heck are u going with our snack!??” Lol

[@Alucard-lz2hb]

GREATEST ESCAPE I HAVE EVER SEEN

[@TahuGimbal415]

"now the orca's gonna jump in" 😂😂 i can't imagine

[@AMinibot]

I love the idea that the orcas' thought processes were basically "beans, guess the humans stole our lunch."

[@Layput]

This film is really heartwarming and I really enjoyed it. I don't understand why would anyone dislike this video?

[@JessF42]

I completely agree but I think it's that humans probably shouldn't be interfering with the circle of life and nature

[@Layput]

@@JessF42 humans have done so much damage to the environment already and saying that humans should not interfere with nature is already a moot point. What is one penguin saved out of billions humans have annihilated already?

[@JessF42]

@@Layput did you not read what I wrote? I said I completely agree with you first! Maybe I didn't word my comment properly..I don't think that way I just thought the people who who disliked the video probably did!

[@Layput]

@@JessF42 i see. Apologies for misunderstanding.

[@cowboystormchaser]

Maybe the entire pod of orcas disliked it.

[@dowrhew5581]

Now the penguin will going to tell the story about how weird orange guy creatures that is riding in a weird floating black orca help him

[@Bishnu_Deb]

It was a great chance for the penguin 🐧 to get a new lease of life.

[@suesue5142]

Penguin " I'll take my chances with the huumans" Orcas " damn huumans they ruin everything "

[@chell272]

Two notable incidents: 1 - penguin jumps to boat, man pushes penguin bottom into safety 2 - penguin in in boat, everyone sits down neatly and boat drives slowly away

[@annleung8878]

That was so cute and definitely the genuine article.what a great rescue!!🐧🐳

[@bizcore7300]

Penguins are so adorable beings 😍

[@suzanneqespen5406]

He took a Big leap of Faith and Trusted the beings on the boat to not harm him. Fantastical Video,once in a life time catch on film too!!!!😻😻😻

[@Climbingdude]

Dude that’s awesome. I miss Antarctica. I was there in 2011 with Linblad Expeditions and saw a similar thing happen.

[@chrissede2270]

So it’s common for people to deprive orca of their meal there?

[@laniinlove9171]

Awwww happy tears dude!

[@bryanrisi8828]

This is an amazing story, at one times the penguin 🐧 was travelling the same speed as a speedboat. That’s determination.

[@aussiedownunder4186]

A helping hand under his bottom priceless ❤️👍👍
