There are an estimated 50,000 orcas found in every ocean of the world. Currently classified as the same species, Orcinus orca, they are all distinct variations known as ecotypes. Each orca ecotype has a unique physiology, appearance, and hunting behavior. In the Pacific Northwest we have the resident, offshore, and Bigg's killer whales. Now, researchers have confirmed that resident and Bigg's killer whales are entirely different species. Genetic analysis found these orcas likely diverged between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago.
“Knowing resident and Bigg's killer whales are unique species is incredibly important from a conservation standpoint. It’s challenging to create effective conservation policies for a globally distributed species like orca because animals in different regions of the world are all facing different threats.”
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
For the Southern Resident orca, the greatest threat is a lack of food. Specifically, Chinook Salmon from the Columbia and Snake River systems. Research shows that the survival and reproductive success of these orcas is correlated with Chinook salmon abundance. Increasing salmon abundance is an integral component of the species recovery plan.

Their Latin name, Orcinus orca, means "from the kingdom of the dead", "from heII", or "belonging to Orcus" who is the Roman god of death. They are apex predators and the common name "killer whale" derives from their original name "whale killers" given to them by sailors who observed them hunting other whales.

When you said "Why does this matter?" I immediately said "Conservation!". I had no idea there were so many orcas in the world, and it's so cool to learn about subspecies and ecotypes! I love wolves and I'm very sad that some subspecies and ecotypes have either gone extinct or still suffer from lack of conservation efforts, I don't want to see the same happen to any other animals. On one hand, it's sad that we even need conservation efforts, but on the other hand, some people really don't realize how important other animals are and how much of an impact human actions have had. I'm gonna sign that petition to destroy the dams ASAP! 🧡

We’d all eat each other if given the chance, we all have and will continue to until we are gone like over 99% of every species that have ever lived on this planet.

It becomes even more fascinating thinking of humans as different ecotypes as well. We evolved different cultures, eating habits and even different appearances and language. It would actually be a scientifically accurate replacement for "race".

@erikm8372 5 дней назад

Exactly, because all of those nuances you mentioned are actually influenced by the environment & ecosystem… food habits? Totally influenced by the immediate area. Whatever animals and plants are local will fuel the food culture of a people. Cultural practices? Most cultures worship deities or Gods based on their immediate surroundings and upbringing. This in turn influences the development of language, but if any aspect of humanity is influenced by other groups, it is communication… every language has loan words and influences from related (and sometimes unrelated) languages. Appearance? That has to do with, as crazy as it sounds to some, exposure to the sun, affecting melanin, tolerance for heat, etc. Ecotypes is a great term.

I love Orcas as much as anyone else but a quick search shows the importance of and devastation to human life removing the Snake River dams would cause. Apparently they do have some type of fish passage as well. I don’t think it’s fair to tell only one side of the issue. Lower Snake River Dams: A Value to the Nation The Snake River is the principal tributary to the Columbia River, draining approximately 107,000 square miles in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the federal government built four large dams on the Snake River: Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, Little Goose, and Lower Granite. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Walla Walla District owns and operates the four lower Snake River dams, all of which are multiple-use facilities that provide navigation, hydropower, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation benefits. Because of their locations, size and ability to help meet peak power loads, these four dams do much more than generate energy--they are key to keeping the system reliable and helping to meet its multiple uses - including supporting wind energy. The Snake River dams lie east of the other federal generators, so they provide a significant technical contribution to transmission grid reliability. The Lower Snake River system of locks and dams deliver a significant economic benefit to the nation. Barging on the inland Columbia Snake River System moves, on average, approximately 10 million tons of cargo valued at over $3 billion each year. Forty percent of the Nation’s wheat transits through this system.

They fail to consider that we are the only species capable of spreading intelligent life to other planets and ensuring the universe doesn't grow cold and dark, devoid of all life or love, and thus our prosperity is a higher priority than the other species on this planet.

@MermaidMusings7 Месяц назад

The orcas found in the Pacific Northwest are incredibly unique. Despite sharing the same waters, the Southern Resident and Bigg's orcas have not shared a common ancestor for thousands of years. Interestingly, whenever they have been observed in close proximity, the Southern Residents have always chased the Bigg's orcas out of their territory. There was even an incident where researchers witnessed the Residents chasing the Bigg's, resulting in blood in the water. During this encounter, the Residents had a new calf, and while the rest of the pod chased the Bigg's away, the baby stayed behind with its mother and grandmother. Perhaps the fish-eating Residents feel threatened by the mammal-eating Bigg's orcas, but the exact reason remains unknown. It's worth noting that Southern Residents do not even socialize with Northern Residents despite being very similar in many ways. Southern Resident orcas, both males and females, remain with their mothers and grandmothers throughout their lifetime. They are the most extensively studied and iconic orca population, and it is crucial to protect them.

@samlindsey1078 7 дней назад

I sincerely don't mean any offense to you in any way, I just want to note that there are alot of assumptions made by people that while they based on observations of the subject , are not, in fact totally, conclusive. As a couple of examples, Southern Resident and Bigg's orcas have not shared a common ancestor for thousands of years". Or as was stated in the video that these orcas don't interact with those orcas and so forth. These conclusions even when based on actual observation, truthfully should not be presented as applicable fact that this is behavior that is consistent and representative of the subject at hand. The time of actual human observation and study of nature and wildlife of any and all, while varying, at times, drastically, depending on the subject , in all cases is miniscule in relation the time that all nature , has and is, existing unobserved by man.

@@samlindsey1078 Indeed, we still need to discover a lot about wild animals and animals in general. Science is always advancing, and as a result, our understanding of animals is expanding. Orcas are fascinating creatures with their own unique cultures. Each ecotype has its own language, prey preferences, and social behaviors. They even have distinct appearances. Sometimes, Southern Residents and Bigg's orcas are spotted nearby, but the Southern Residents always chase the Bigg's orcas away from their territory. During one such encounter, a small calf was with its mother and grandmother while the rest of the pod chased the Bigg's orcas. The fish-eating Southern Residents may see the mammal-eating Bigg's orcas as a threat to their young, but researchers are still unsure why these two groups are so hostile towards each other. It is interesting that despite their many similarities, the Southern Residents don't even interact with the Northern Residents. While we have learned a lot about these animals, there are still many mysteries left to unravel.

@@MermaidMusings7 You both make very good and fascinating points. Nature, and life overall is full of surprises, and one must take care not to be too presumptive in drawing conclusions.

And in the middle of all this is Orcas Island, where I lived for many years.

Okay I’m all for conservation, but define your term of breaching dams, if I am hearing you correctly your saying get rid of them and the reason why we put them in there in the first place. I would support putting in nuclear power plants or help support the growth of nuclear fusion energy rather than fission like we have today, that way dams would be obsolete and no longer required.

@Aquascape_Dreaming День назад

I agree with basically everything you said, but want to point out that there's a difference between growth and development in terms of technology. Nuclear fusion technology is still in development. It cannot grow until development is complete. But you are correct, deciding to demolish dams just to save a species is very selfish if it means leaving communities without power, or increases the cost of providing them with power. We can't just do things without considering the impact it may have on human communities.

Another issue hurting wild salmon populations in the Puget Sound region is the damage to creak and river spawning grounds and lack of effort to restore them. These small streams all used to have independent salmon runs but now, thanks to development, erosion, and a plain lack of effort and education, these salmon runs are almost extinct. We need to actively start to restore these creaks and the runs can be rehabilitated easily using small hatchery boxes that will each see hundreds of salmon return to spawn in four years, the rest becoming part of the ecosystem. I volunteered with a project like this in the early 80s and the results were impressive. The issue is getting the volunteer manpower and cutting through the bureaucratic issues that hamper both the hatchery box placement and creak rehabilitation. This was a nightmarish issue even in the 1980s.

@smelltheglove2038 26 дней назад

Hundreds! Wow!

@socket_error1000 26 дней назад

@@smelltheglove2038 Sorry I should have included a bit more about this to make it easier to understand the impact. That number is to the spawn point. Each of those salmon can produce anywhere from 1,500 to 10,000 eggs depending on the type and health of the fish. If creeks are maintained, kept free of obstructions and spawning beds made available, you should see up to a 2% return of salmon to that point in four years for eggs hatched. If only 100 males and 100 spawning females were to return with a minimum of egg load; that would result in at least 150,000 eggs and up to 3,000 of those returning to spawn in four years. 3,000 spawning at that point results in up to 90,000 spawning salmon making back to that creek. That is how a simple temporary hatchery box system can restore complete salmon runs on mostly volunteer manpower restoring creeks and educating the public.

@@smelltheglove2038 Um, improving creek salmon runs is a way to do that. Most of them empty into rivers on the sound and the coast. There are no dams on any of these creeks and the few that have them are generally older irrigation dams no longer needed. There are quite literally thousands of locations in the Puget Sound region alone where salmon box hatcheries could be placed and creek runs rehabilitated. None would affect a single power plant but all would result in hundreds of thousands of salmon fry entering the ecosystem and exponential growth of the spawning salmon returning with every four year cycle. Put simply, a 12 year effort on our local creeks could rebuild our salmon runs in the Puget Sound to a level that we haven't seen since the 1950s and they would continue to grow as long as the fisheries were regulated and the creeks maintained. This same thing could be done on any unobstructed creek with an eventual access to the open sea.

Thank you for explaining the issues the redsidents face and (importantly!) giving actionable advice on how to be part of a solution. Look forward to more marine bio videos! Cheers !🤙🏽🙏🏽

What no one is talking about in the decline of the king salmon is the fact that their own food source has been nearly fished out. The comercial herring fishery of the 1960s 70s and 80s. Full freighters loaded up with boxes and bags of herring headed for Japan for their roe. And when there were no longer big schools of herring? Herring roe on kelp was harvested. I know this as I worked in the seafood industry and saw it first hand.

Hi, so I know anthropomorphism is a huge no no in the marine mammal world, however I studied animal behavior in college. my professors made a point to say that using the word culture was a valid designation for certain species, like great apes and cetaceans. I was curious what you thought?.

@KPassionate Месяц назад

This is a really great question. It can be tricky for sure. Anthropocentrism can be incredibly harmful and is something we should generally avoid. I talk a bit about this in my video on the Gladis orca and how we shouldn't use the term "revenge" and instead call it reciprocity. As far as "culture" is concerned... the thing is we really don't have a better term to describe their behavior. A study by the University of British Columbia found that the complex, stable, and distinct vocal, social, and behavioral sophistication seen in orcas and other cetaceans has no parallel outside humans, and represents an independent evolution of cultural facilities. Thanks for sharing!

@@KPassionate Just some thought: Apes use small sticks to extract termites from their mounds and sea otters use stones to crack open clams, with other words, they use tools. But if we are so afraid for anthropomorphism, we can´t say that. In this logic, only humans use tools, so how to describe a stone wielding sea otter? Another thought: jonathan is asking about your opinion about anthropoMORPHISM, and in your response, you are talking about anthropoCENTRIM. English may not be my native language, but I think this are two different concepts. Anthropomorphism is when we project our human essence on animals, failing to see them as separate beings with different instincts and needs. I call this the Mickey Mouse effect, we take a mouse as a protagonist of a story, but the story is human, the mouse has a humanlike form and behaves like a human. Anthropocentrism is making humankind the centre of everything,, like being created separate form animals (or being the end result / highest form of evolution), with the animals created to serve humankind and the earth being the centre of the Universe. If we remain so afraid for anthropomorphism then animals can not have feelings (joy, sadness, fear, empathy) but are just biological machines, they can not have culture, etc. ect. We continue to set humankind apart from the other animals, apart from nature. We should use anthropomorphism carefully, for sure, but we should not shrink away from it.

@@KPassionateseems a bit bleak that only 1 genus of the great ape can corelate with an entire order of aquatic mamalia. Possibly even false one might think. I know i see great complexity in about every great ape ive seen. And enough parallels to count myself among them. Cetaceans are cool though. Anyone seen the video of orcas swimming with that person in iceland or wherever? Felt like i saw a bluff charge in there, but the human literally couldnt swim fast enough to react like prey. Kind of reminded me of when i was a child and saw a baby deer with its momma, i had to chase down bambi and give him a hug! Little guy was so young he still counldnt walk right. Maybe one day orcas will dominate so hard they will hug baby seals given the chance, letting them reach adulthood before taking the shot. We humans have gotten a bit odd in comparison to other earthlings, not octopus levels of odd, but we are definetly an oddity!

@MermaidMusings7 День назад

Pilot whales cannot be compared to orcas in any aspect. Although they may occasionally interfere with orca hunts like humpback whales do, pilot whales are no match when facing a large orca pod. A solitary orca may not challenge bigger whales, but it can easily overpower one, two, or even three pilot whales. Orcas can conquer formidable opponents such as great white sharks, humpback whales, and even the largest predator in the ocean, sperm whales, as mentioned in the video. They truly reign supreme among all creatures.

Removing the Dams is beyond short sighted ignorance.

It is naive to think this is possible. I don't get how your woke generation are so ignorant to all the benefits these Dams provide...

I lived in Rockaway Beach for a decade. One year there was a small pod of HUMONGOUS Orca in Nehalem Bay for about a week. They lay waste to the sea lion population there. The locals seldom made known any unusual natural changes in the area. It used to be during winter storms you would have to check tides before going to Freddy’s. Making a news story about whales would result in a ridiculous traffic problem in the Portland/Tillamook/Astoria hiway system for days. And potentially interfere with the environment. Tillamook County locals are wonderfully in tune with their environment. It is not a county to live in without paying attention to the weather. I watched one day as these critters aggressively hunted the bay. I was used to the occasional sightings of whales. These were thick, with a more richly colored body. I am so very happy they are being studied in depth. This was great. Thanks.
