Inquisitive Orca Interacts With & Blows Bubble At Kneeboarder 

2 years later 😅. Yes the orca seems to say " Look i can make bubble too as you. Watch it " And at the beginning when he swim on he's back it's a sign of playful or "come in peace" behavior

@@xenes3170 maybe he just farted

@@mikha007 🙄

Because the orcas eat you first?

@@fmills1583 no because it's natural for them to repel and sometimes even eat sharks. There's never been one recorded attack on human from orcas in the wild.

So very true, I would feel so safe with them there and I would feel honored to be able to spend time with them. It is my dream and I hope one day I could swim with them. Beautiful magnificent and intelligent animals.

@@lisawise9849 You can't record it if you been eaten? XD

@@sundayroast8779 the only fatalities from orcas are the ones that are held in captivity in bathtubs as slaves and prisoners made to perform tricks for people's entertainment. They are far too intelligent for this stupid s*** and they end up getting frustrated and lash out because what animal or person wouldn't when they want to be free. A lot of those orcas in these entertainment venues were kidnapped from their mothers and their family pods and they didn't even attack them when they took their family members prisoner. Still no record of a fatality in the wild. There are people that swim with them in open- ocean. That's where you go see orcas, not in a bathtub performing tricks.

It's quite an interesting thought, they clearly have a way to communicate amongst each other that we are unable to understand. However, it's more than likely they can pick up on certain tones or frequencies to get an idea of how we're feeling.

A lot of animals know more about us than we know about them.

@Popeyeyes they should. But they don’t and that’s where the intelligence shows. We are just a very large bunch of stupid animals with no respect of planet earth and the bakance of nature.

& are peaceful with us too

They actually understand a good deal about us because they see us all the time when fishing and can see all of our intestines using echolocation. They along with dolphins can actually tell what animal is an air or water breather based on their respiratory system

Respect from one apex predator to another. :D

Orcas or only ferocious in their domain, granted that guys heart beat must have been pumping

I think ferocious predator is the human.

More than likely he's been told about these guys before he ever went out there. Wish they were around my area but its too warm for them around the keys of Florida. Ferocious? At least they do not kill like kind which is a lot more than WE can say.

Stupid

Trumpisacrybaby dictator Narcissis and still are treating them really. A lot of us have woken up but we’re still capturing them, ruining their habitat, taking their food sources. I fear change won’t happen fast enough.

Animals are in some ways superior to human

actionguy60 do one 🖕🏼

actionguy60 say no to emperor trump and his progeny inheriting the throne

Let's hope they are not just playing with their food. 😟

Great comment. lol

Or tasty

A n g e l o they dislike human meat

@@91lifetime23 They probably wouldn’t like the taste of our clothes, plus they don’t know us to be a trusted food source - their mothers likely have never given them human meat. We could be poisonous for all they know.

@@irgendeinname9256 They certainty have in captivity. Several people have died.

There are different types or orcas that live in the oceans. If all orcas shared the same food, they would die out. So therefore you have southern and northern resident orcas off Washington and Canada that eat salmon, squid. You have resident orcas off New Zealand that eat sting rays. Then you have your consumers of the oceans, the transient orcas that eat marine animals, whales tongue and jaw,, shark liver, penguins, seals, dolphins. All the orcas in captivity are resident orcas, that eat only fish. Transient orcas would die a few days. These orcas in this video here, eat stingrays

Yeah orcas are dicks to every other ocean creature, but they love people....

I would not tempt fate..

It depends what type (transient or resident) of Orca it is. Some eat fish only, others eat small sea mammals.

Orcas have attacked, killed and eaten humans. Rare, but there are documented cases.

You said it all LOL

I noticed that too...

LOL

@@Slaktrax No one cares. It was a joke.

@@Slaktrax You sure he's the snowflake? You seem like the triggered one.

Mr. nickbig1 You are absolutely right and I am so glad you commented. While watching this video, I felt myself getting frustrated at certain parts because as soon as the whale exposed his belly I was so hoping that the guy would reach out and acknowledge the whale. Maybe a belly rub or a wave?? Also when the guy grabs the rope from the boat and accelerates his speed, the whale did too in a playful manor. I just wish more people could read the body language of animals. This could have been on a whole nother level but it's still an awesome video! 👌🐋🐋🐋

@@amynicole7150 , I never understood why so many people are oblivious to animal communication. First off, in general, healthy wild animals will avoid conflict, usually through activities that I call "forest etiquette". One such activity is to deliberately make noise, to announce your presence when entering other animals' territory, to avoid surprise and unnecessary conflict. Animals that sneak usually are showing they are weak, or they are hunting. Both activities invite attack. Wild animals often flee humans because we seem irrational to them, rather than simply neighbors, or part of nature. "Primitive" people, who live with wildlife, understood this.

yessss... your right!!! :)

Whales sonar receive is the the underside of the lower jaw. It they want to 'look' closely at an object they will roll over to face the jaw to the object. As with all animal that is a exposed position and will only do it if they feel no threat and sufficiently curious.

Touko Mizu there’s also not a single recorded case of an orca attacking a human in the wild 😁 they’re part of the dolphin family

No doubt about they ARE beautiful animals. And their skin is super smooth as well.

yeah, they can easily reach speeds of over 30 knots (roughly 35 mph), so they have no issue keeping up with small speedboats like that. Awesome animals

I took notice of that too. Like it was just observing at leisure, “What is that thing, up there?”

@@tyleru96 I believe their top speed is 60kph.

@@bari2883 that sounds about right

@Popeye 120?! 😱

100% agree

I know I hate that of SeaWorld

You all wouldn’t have the appreciation for orca if it weren’t for SeaWorld! BTW, you all have been spoon fed lies b/c of Blackfish. Try to do your own research and don’t rely on a sensationalist film which has zero merit.

Aviatrix You’re pathetic.

@Oliver Plougmand Yet, you felt the need to respond. Did I strike a nerve, that what I said might be the truth and you felt threatened, so you called me “pathetic” because I challenged your belief??

I would of needed a new swim suit

I have nightmares about things like this while riding my jetski 😂😂

Loved the way that first juvenile was chasing the tow line. it definitely knew the drill. What gets me though is why leave? I would have killed the engines and enjoyed the moment because they do not come along very often!

@@derekfelber743 Do your jetskiing while you're awake. You'll have fewer nightmares. 👍

​@@leecowell8165probably just scared, I don't think most people realize that they don't attack humans and just think of them as predators. still, i would rather people react this way than go out of their way to harass them like they do to manatees and other marine mammals.

It was curious. That is the extent of it.

Bullshit

At the end of the video, mother orca turned on her back & baby orca nursed. So sweet! ❤

It seems to me the mother orca was the largest of all the orcas l have ever seen! So magnificent! I couldn't take my eyes of her.

Yes, to interact with them would be awesome. I just dont know if i would have the courage, though i would love to

In awe of the human? Stop it. More like, what is this idiot doing way out here?

they have excellent vision above and below the surface as well.

Yep. adorable. I would NOT have moved had I been that skier! I mean that was a chance of a lifetime to interact with such a magnificent animal. He probably could have pet him.

He was also lucky that the orca wasnt aggressive at all. Theres been cases where orcas have hurt humans

Andrea Dorethy What a lucky man to have an encounter with such a beautiful wild FULL orca.

@@itskitcatt17 That's false.

@@ItReallyIsiPOD Yea i realized that thank you for confirming

@@itskitcatt17 Just in captivity. Orcas never attack humans in the wild

I often dream of how it must have been before Adam and Eve sinned and lost that awesome intimacy with GOD and creation. These magnificent beings remember and they miss us and long for those days too. Romans 8:22-23 King James Version (KJV) 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

@@DreamerSeerFaithBeliever what was their sin?

@@markgarduno4597 That's the ugly thing about sin. It dosen't just affect the one who commits it. There is a ripple effect and the innocent suffer too. Generations of the future will pay the cost for what we do or don't do.

Jesus, you are one scary person.@@DreamerSeerFaithBeliever

Jesus, Pearl Jam, how horrible! Future generations, huh! What an idiot you are!!@@DreamerSeerFaithBeliever

They are our mammal friends from the ocean. I hope humanity can change in time and restore nature to its former glory. Maybe one day it would be possible to communicate with them.

no, blowing bubbles means ´barking´. It´s how the mammals of the sea do warn.

Evidently not on the menu.

Yeah... well.... I guess there are some pretty stupid orcas, too!

New Zealand protects their Orca closely. They're very sacred to New Zealand. Unfortunately, in the US, the Southern Resident Orcas are starving due to 4 dams on the snake river. The dams are holding back the King Salmon they need. It isn't due to what happened around Japan. Orca around Japan would have died years ago if that was the case.

Me too! They are magnificent!!!!

Yeah, damn that. What a way to go. Fish food.

Get a brain

Good way to cash in on the life insurance policy (grin) He was safe, Orcas don't eat humans nor has there ever been a case of an Orca attacking a human in the wild (so far)

Lol, yup

@@marilynalvarez9951 My grampa would argue that point, lol.

You don't know anything about them

Diana Herron.. So am I, from YYJ also am going down to the Gorge waterway today..July 1st. Anyway, last year I was fishing from the end of Ogden Point breakwater. Several whalewatching boats departed the harbour with guests who have spent $$ to go out and see Orcas. Just after the last boat left a small pod of Orcas came from INSIDE the harbour passing in front of me no further or farther than 30' from the end of the breakwater. Where they had been hiding, I don't know, maybe looking around down by the Customs dock or the restaurant at the beach end.We all got a laugh at that and the encounter cost us nothing.No fishing now with all the closures.Cheers from View Royal.

@@rogerdickinson920 I love stories like yours! I miss Victoria and the ocean every single day.

@@rogerdickinson920 lol

They are actually dolphins.

​@@djjnonya2170Which are all whales. So they are whales.

Bubble blowing is normally a way to say 'go away'. Bottlenose dolphins use it as a way to threaten intruders or as a warning. The whale was curious, but cautious as well. Exposing ones belly is NOT a sign of 'peace'. With most animals its a submissive gesture. Orcas normally show their belly to prey (which dont include humans). Showing their belly to a pod member or a human could have a variety of meaning....its not known for sure.

exactly.

Not enough meat compared to their usual prey.

Thank you

@@TopviewNz which drone did you use to capture the footage? Did you have it set to follow, or were flying it manually?

I dunno it's hard to pass up a cool platypus.

And this one was scared shitless. What a waste

They are so majestic aren't they?

@@anibellohq9447 Yes they are.

When playing Orca will swim upside down and flash their white belly bits it's an amazing thing to see and funny as hell when they sneak up on unsuspecting swimmers, free divers / kayakers and scare them shitless with one massive WHOOOOSH of air then whilst the humans are still having a coronary you'll see the Orca swimming just a few feet by the side or back and forth underneath them flashing their white belly bits and giving it “Just playin Bro...Just screwing with ya look see - white belly bits” NZ Orca are unique though they have always been protected and highly revered so their relationship with humans has never been fraught with the same issues of caution, distrust and uncertainty. It's an amazing, really special relationship.

@@CharlotteWeb100 they do that to show friendliness and acceptance. You from NZ.. Dr Visser down there she has done wonders for the Orca.

It was a female dipshit

no, it´s a warning. like barking.

It's used to disorient prey fish, making their roundup and consumption easier.

@@truthhurts79 is there any need at all for that.

@@ellepant you must be new to the internet dipshit

Their underside of the lower jaw is how whales feel the sonar reflections. When they want to closely 'look' at something they will roll their underside toward the object.

Apparently it's their body language sign saying "hello friend, I am not a threat to you". Wonderful creatures.

Yeah, that blew me away

or loud annoying music!

i went to iceland a few years ago and saw about 20 fully grown orcas n babies on the north side of the island. They hung out with us for an hour plus. it was amazing. if you get a chance, go! :D

Yup🤦🏾‍♀️

Thanks

Sonar requires good hearing, stick their head out of the water and they may hear it if low enough and see it's shadow and figure it out. They see bird shadows and the young will jump at slow low flyers and floaters. Seagulls always follow to eat scraps.

Their sonar is so good that if you are in the water they can 'see' your heart beating. They are well aware of the propeller but accidents can happen and the disturbance created by the prop may make a lot of noise and seem like fog as to us.

Luna the Orca that lost his herd was killed by a propeller. It's on YT and it's sad but also heartwarming.

My thoughts too.

Yeah, this just happened to a Dolphin at the Jersey Shore that got sliced up by boat propellers, and then right after that 4 sharks ate it alive. It was so disturbing and sad.

@@alexatameron8898 That certainly is disturbing, but the nature part is . . . well . . . natural, and sharks often do eat their food while its alive.

mermaids are mine

Yes. But dolphins don't destroy the rudders by biting them and don't sink the boats by hitting their hull. Quite a difference for a sailor ...

Free them so they can die? Stfu

@@SauerGustavo It is tough because they've spent so much time in captivity, but they could live in sea pens, much better life for them.

Absotively!

@SauerGustavo i don’t know why i’m just now seeing this but...bitch make me! if you were in jail FOR NO REASON would you want to stay there for the rest of your life & die? or would you want to be freed & even if it meant you could die? some of y’all be so stupid, “stfu”🤣

@Love Keiko died because those in captivity a. dont speak the dialect other orcas do, 2. even if reunited with old pod, as he did, they did not want him back. 3. he did not know how to hunt, 4. he died of illness caused by starvation. u can NOT return them to the ocean

Have you paid for your sins already? What are your thoughts about that trainer who got drowned to death by an Orca in captivity? People are stupid, why put an Orca in an enclosure for entertainment!? As Maximus said "Are you not entertained...?"
