@briancline73494 жыл бұрын
I prefer Beluga Whales and ordinary dolphins (Belugas are my favorite animal though)... Orcas can be assholes the way they terrorize other marine mammals like Sea Lion pups (which I really like) by throwing them up in the air repeatedly for some fun before eating them. If they do have the amount of empathy people believe them that could almost be described as an “evil/sadistic” behavior...
@RG-yt8dz4 жыл бұрын
Brian Cline well they are called “the wolves of the sea” yes their behavior does seem cruel, but that is how they hunt. Their called” Killer Whales” for a reason, which you know. They eat other whales, kill Sharks Great Whites for their liver. I do adore belugas and dolphins as well. These mammals use 60 percent of their brains. Amazing
@briancline73494 жыл бұрын
Ruthy Gilmore true I suppose it is just part of nature, and they probably aren’t cognizant enough to consider the trauma they inflict when doing that, and I suppose hunger knows little boundaries of morality in the wild. I agree though their intellect is very impressive as is their social behavior. It’s also interesting how they almost never attack humans even though they could kill and eat us just as easily as many larger sharks. Still though it is something I like to point out when people talk like they are innocent a angels and humans are the devil... Orcas don’t seem all that innocent to me lol. I do really like them too but the more I’ve learned about their cruel behavior especially towards other mammals including whales, the more I’ve come to favor dolphins and especially the Beluga whale (which has always been my favorite). I don’t care really what they do to fish though as they aren’t nearly as evolved and intelligent/aware as the marine mammals. I also have a new growing interest in the Octopus, there are some cool documentaries on KZbin showing just how impressive their intellect is.

This was a very nice documentary and it was an eye opening experience. I was really sad when the one little pup was orphaned and had to fend for himself..just hearing him cry for his momma and then be pushed away from the other momma seals broke my heart. I was literally crying over that part.😢💔😭 Also there were a lot of things I didn't even know about Orcas..like for instance..they sleep with one eye open literally because only half of their brain sleeps at a time. Also that they rub up against each other to show affection to one another..and that each pod of Orcas have their own unique speech pattern to talk to one another. That's awesome! Like they say" You learn something new every day"! Thanks for the great video! 🤗🐧🌊🐋💙

When it's clear these big huge fishing boats have no problem tossing Dynamite at them and killed off so many they are now endangered!? Orca's are intelligent and live very long lives the survivors of these Dynamite attacks know man did it, also man captured their babies to stick at SeaWorld and suffer in small tanks to do tricks for human entertainment! I don't get why humans are so confused why these beautiful whale's are now pissed off and damaging boat's? The very thing killing them and taking all their food!

The way that poor pup was treated by its own species is the epitome of cruelty. I’m sure if all the seal moms worked together, they could’ve shared a little breastmilk to save one of their own.
