Where else would they be. That’s the ocean where they are supposed to live.

[@ashleylala4293]

Yeah but the chemtrails have mostly killed off everything in SoCal.😏

[@mvpbolt]

super rare for them to be in California waters for this long

[@truthiscensored]

They can be seen from Long Beach Beach shores also. I know people who recorded it. They been there about 2 weeks now

[@rstokes8044]

Did anyone check their passport when they went to Mexico???

[@zealmilenio177]

😂

[@ihaveinsomnia1]

I thought it was a baby Orca at first.

[@roxanefrancisnorman]

I love Orcas ❤

[@stevegonzales527]

Global warming enthusiasts said they were gone after not seeing them for 2 years and here they are lol

[@GroundbreakGames]

Resident and transient Orca pods speak and entirely different language and have different hierarchical structures. They are so fascinating.

[@MusicLeeSarah]

I have heard that before and I believe it like they are so much more evolved than we are. They are truly amazing and I hope 1 day I'm able to witness 1 in person in the wild as I refuse to go to an aquarium

[@trishaferreira2309]

Watch from the shore! NEVER from a boat! Would you want someone harassing and following you around in your home? 😡

[@maximusflys]

Keeping them in a bathtub is a much way of viewing them 🤦‍♂️

[@Mr.Bryan1234]

You do know us humans invaded the homes of wildlife…..Your home is standing on what was once a forest or dirt used by wildlife. Nature is to be shared with animals and humans.

[@Maxgomez3]

Went to mexico and smelled the water and decided to come back 😂

[@msell8107]

It is their territory! 🐳🐳🐳

[@thesmokinsalmon]

They want payback for Willy

[@phillipmckinnon6883]

Food supply and the water's cold

[@nelsonfranco7849]

THE (WOLVES) OF THE SEA, NICE VIDEO. 😊😊😊

[@chrisv.4071]

Leave wildlife alone !!!

[@jaysonpida5379]

All the Great Whites went, "Imma outta here..."

[@DavidSmith-wp2zb]

Isn't anyone concerned for the dolphin

[@mvpbolt]

no there’s millions of dolphin out there, mostly in pods of thousands

[@Battle_Beard]

They’re gathering forces for a naval assault.

[@marryellenmonahan5585]

So much good food in the Newport coast reserve.

[@tomg8673]

El Niño

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

Leave them alone. People can be so incredibly selfish and stupid.

[@HJ-jy7fw]

If they were annoyed they would swim away.........................

[@jamesgibson3242]

I don't see you complaining about the whales killing dolphins.

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

@@HJ-jy7fw That's pretty funny, and sad, that you know so little about wildlife or maybe all life. Look up what watch tours have done and do to Orcas in the San Juans even off of Orca Island; and stop trying to think like a human when it's DOLPHINS (they're not whales) that we're dealing with.

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

@@jamesgibson3242 Oh boy, another Einstein award!! Orcas ARE dolphins, pal; and nature IS nature. Only humans eff everything up so badly!

[@HJ-jy7fw]

@@TheCommunicationCoach This interaction is definitely educational..

[@lauri-jeancarlson815]

THE BARACK PEOPLE ARE GOING BANANAS EEP EEP EEP EEP WHY?

[@TheOtherKine]

CUT TO: January, when most of them are found beached and sick thanks to all the pollution we send down into the ocean in this area from the rain drainage LMAO

[@aaronburns9538]

What incredible fish!

[@BasicMaffs]

They are mammals 🤓

[@jaisonlives]

It’s not a fish. Ignorance

[@mattd5681]

[@Scrappy90059]

[@lauri-jeancarlson815]

EEP EEP EEP EEP

[@phucknuts.7065]

They scare the crap out of me.

[@qball8437]

[@brookemartin6101]

How did I Miss This!?.

[@phishinround420]

Their character arc has only just begun.

[@RickWashington-z3h]

They are feeding there.When it dries up so to speak they'll migrate out to other waters.

[@MusicLeeSarah]

The whales came back because they knew an encore had been requested

[@GyroZeppel]

I hate the way news casters talk. It drives me crazy.

[@leosicairos1135]

Brother, can we just have a moment with the ORCAS?

[@maximusflys]

They were named that for being known for killing whales

[@jaisonlives]

[@aidenayers2486]

Thats one of their names. The orca is a short term for its scientific name the Orcinus Orca.
