Humpback whales charge group of transient orcas 

You did.

Orcas even work together with humans somethimes to hunt whale's. They only want the tongue Wich is useless for humans and some humans have learned they only want the tongue so they just give it. Kind of like the deep sea maffia

I agree 100, I feel like because they have seen so many killer whale attacks on their own kind they remember it and don't want the same to happen to other mammals.

Yes Humpback's are amazing!! They disc their own life to save other species. There is a video here on YT, where a Humpack saved a female diver from a shark!! Amazing!!!

@@u-lilhissy Wow you are an unbelievable, uneducated, narrow minded attention seaking little baby!! 🖕🖕🖕🖕

Cool cheers👍

Julia Crawford , You got it, Jules! That’s exactly what’s taking place. ❤️🐋🐳

there is a war going on between the humpbacks and the orcas

@@anthonyvega-fujioka4464 Nobody really know's how long this is going on. It could be million's of year's. Only because we human's just saw it, mean's nothing. We will learn a lot with drones and all this new technology, but we cannot be sure how long, why, where,..this is going on.

Sea lions and humpback often hang out for some reason ? It been documented for quite awhile now ! So its prolly a more personal or maybe even territorial thing for the humpy's . Maybe they feel like driving the orca out of this area .and defending other sealife is how they do it ! as this is where the whales pass thru and they want a safe place to be ! If you eliminate the orcas food source even for a short time they will move on . They have to ! The big whales prolly know this . As in whales everything in thier life is about timing . They need to be in certain places at certain times . So if the humpy's can make an area safe , the killers will go hunting else where . They got to eat on a regular basis too . And stealth is a part of thier game . So once every body knows your in town and have big friends ,it makes it hard for the killers and they just move on ! Peace be safe !

Not exactly...they charged the Orcas because they have a long history of losing calves. This is learned behaviour based on resentment.

Or............. humpbacks and sperm whales have a much larger frontal cortex than we do. And I mean MUCH larger. A vast amount of their brain is taken up with it. This part of the brain that is enlarged in whales is the part that controls higher emotions such as compassion, empathy, altruism etc. So, therefore they are extremely capable of higher emotions I.e. compassion, empathy and altruism. It's a brain geared towards selfLESSness rather than selfISHness. It flies in the face of evolution with all it's "selfish gene" rot. Why would evolution, which is concerned only with selfishness, self preservation and self put so much effort into evolving an inherently selfless brain? Sorry mate, there is a simple and very obvious explanation... it's called ALTRUISM.

@@scalperjack1 Yes there is, this is a specific example of it. Whales have even taken sea lions on their bodies to ice blocks while pushing away orcas. Why would they do that? ALTRUISM. Grow up yourself.

@@milanka882 "Selfish Gene" is not rot... pretty sure you don't understand what that's about Altruism or apparent altruism and cooperation are indeed aspects of passing on genetic material as well as competition. I think you make a huge assumption about whale brains here, remember whales bodies are much much larger than humans are as well, it's more about brain:body ratio overall.... and I don't think we 100% understand all the functions of brains just yet either.

purrrrson , It was already dead. The Humpbacks just WILL NOT allow them to eat while they’re around! They VERY STRONGLY HAAAAAAAAATE them, because they prey on baby Humpies and other whale calves and even large whales! They have NO (0) TOLERANCE for them!

They were trying to drown out those Canadian accents

That's how they posture and it is a weapon also.

@@unclefreddieDied Fuck you...eh 😆

They splash water like that to confuse the orcas.

They have 5 meter long flippers wich are their main weapon. When they land a hit by slapping them through the air to an orca it does some serious damage. A hit from the tail will kill, but its way harder to land a hit because orcas are dolphins with excellent manouverability

Honestly after watching some videos, I am not liking orcas, as they are what their names says, they are whale killers and I know they do this to survive, but at times after marine biologists investigate they sometimes do this as sport to kill others. Sharks are known to kill, but this is most common of the 'Tiger' shark and not the great white as they are more aggressive and are known for eating anything. Sharks look evil but they wouldn't attack a whale compared to orcas. Orcas have packs, while sharks are solitary and it would be daft them trying it on a mammal twice their size that could potentially harm it. Orcas even kill great whites

'Transient' means the orcas do not live in the area. These orcas were passing through the area and therefore only there for a short period

vince Foss First off your question is a good one if funny too. I am no expert other than a human doctor who sadly saw a right whale victim beached with my family after human ships or more human technology had led to that. There is a term for resident orcas who return every year to their homes away from antarctic feeding over decades, centuries, millennia; they are not necessarily always the only orcas as there are often transient or non-resident orcas but they are more often not with the more social and matriarchal groups and more often are adult males grouping for hunting and safety. Maybe another cetaceanist could comment on difference in transient versus non-resident.

Here is some info for you on the difference between resident whales and transient whales. orcalab.org/orcas/transient-orcas/

@@doctorhankjr5126 ceatologists are those who specialize in the study and research of whales and dolphins

Hahaha no no no, I will educate you today. 3 times the power of the strongest bite force on earth? That's impressive 😆 The truth is, these humpbacks are showing a new behaviour only recently adopted. They were certainly not hurt and ran off these Orcas in style. Nothing can fuck with a few healthy Humpbacks...Maybe a few healthy Sperm Whales but definately not Orcas lol.

@@jaypelletier3783 you know orcas kill blue whales right?

@@dizzyrose1809 Of course I do lol, that means nothing.

@@jaypelletier3783 yes it means many things. The blue whale is the most powerful animal in the ocean and orcas can kill just about anything they hunt.

@@dizzyrose1809 Why talk if you no edication? Blue whales are easy. They can't even maneuver, too damn big. 2 healthy humpacks will run off an entire pod of Orcas every single time. Not only that, they save other animals from Orcas. You need to do some research.

Scott McFarland these humpbacks were killing orcas for fun

nofrigginidea humpbacks eat krill & micro-organisms. orcas eat seals, sea lions, whales, fish of all sorts, plus they are porpuses and can out maneuver a humpback. but you're probably right

@nofrigginidea Did you not read the text put up by the people who made the video? No part is mentioned where the humpbacks "kill" orca.

Scott McFarland , Where did you see for yourself or hear the owner of the footage mention anything about a Humpback calf?????

Eggsdayz , The reason is that, Humpbacks are VERY compassionate beings, quite like us; now, these Transient Orcas prey on the calves of Humpback and all other young whales, as well as sick/weak larger whales and even those in good health, that they think are of a manageable enough size for them to outmaneuver. The Humpbacks STRONGLY DESPISE Transients and ANYWHERE they see them attacking of feasting on other mammals, they rush in try to break it up, most times successfully! It’s an ongoing war, that will never end, due to the nature of the Humpies; they are the protectors/defenders of the ocean, very sensitive, altruistic, empathetic, caring, nurturing beings. They even protect divers from sharks. It’s as if, the fact that they’ve taken SO MANY losses to Transient Killer Whales, they’ve made a vow to spend their time, as long as they’re alive and able bodied, to protect ANYTHING AND ANYONE from them. Even when they’ve ALREADY KILLED the prey, the Humpbacks rush in and break it up, as if they’re saying “NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY, YOU’RE NOT EATING THIS WHILE I’M AROUND! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!!” Do you hear how they are kind of screaming why they ram them with their huge bodies, making distress calls, so that others can hear from close and far away that the Killers are around????? To me, it sounds like they’re charging into them and saying “MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRR!!!!! GTFOH!!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love Humpies! ❤️🐋💘🐳

Because they do move ! They are not known to a specific area ,could go any where possibly in the world . Other orca are only know to certain areas . And this is why they starve . When the area is over fished the fishermen leave . But the orca stay and there is no way for them to adapt since they dont eat seal and such things ! Some believe the transient orca are actually a different species !

Chill out weirdo. Orcas do not starve they prey on mostly everything.

transient orcas thrive, southern residents are the starving ones.

@@mowbray231 southern ones are ones who mostly feed on fish but fishing boats (us humans) are mostlymaking them starve with over fishing right? Correct me if am wrong.

@@generalkenobi5173 yup that's mostly right but it's not just over fishing. Even the noise from boats and just the pollution in the water. We need to give them space but we took over their habitat. Also in the 70s and entire generation was taking from them.

@@mowbray231 I've heard many complain about how small the pools are at SeaWorld for an Orca but this is the first time I've heard someone try to make the argument that the ocean isn't big enough
