Killer Whales Stalk Boats Off Laguna Beach 

I am not one of those animal rights fanatics, but I kinda got the impression that the flotilla of boats was chasing after that pod. Which doesn't strike me as all that considerate.

Amazing footage of these beautiful creatures. Now that all of us can share in this encounter in vivid 4K, please join me in saying it's time to back off and not pursue them under power. There is a difference between an encounter and a pursuit (aka hunt). I'm not vegan, I'm pro hunting but, I think it's selfish to pursue these creatures so aggressively especially when they're protecting a calf.

Legally, what distance does watercraft need to maintain from wildlife? I'd report all of them. Beautiful drone footage❤

Seriously messed up that a few of the boaters continued to keep props spinning while whales passed beneath their boats.

Great footage Blair love orca, nothing like witnessing them in the big blue free, special moments, the pod had a calf so I sure they would be protective but actually very friendly to humans in the water not a single incident between orca and human in our oceans, that's recorded. They are magnificent mammals and thank you for sharing this footage. 🐬 🐳

Im pretty sure the baby was nursing around the @2:10 mark. What a cool sight

I remember watching 'Wolves of the Sea' in the 90's, and being amazed. Beautiful creatures. Cheers mate!

I used to live on Ocean Vista Drive and my balcony lined up with the creek and I would watch you skim. 1 day I saw a pod of Orcas trying to get a baby calve away from the mother. The mother had the calf on her head to try and keep the Orcas away. These Orcas had bigger dorsal fins than this pod. Cool footage I could whale watch and watch you skimboard out slider windows and I could see deer out my kitchen windows facing The Ranch.

I think the boats are out of line approaching too close to the orcas.

Man its crazy how much this channel has grown, Blair. I remember when it just a couple thousand well before covid years and now youre at almost 3mil!!?!?!! Congrats

I've seen a lot of footage of whales and have fish the puget sound for years and see them fairly regularly, but not like this footage. It looked like A whale family vacation to the North. Here they were lucky enough to come across a bunch of boats moving around on the surface. It was so great to show junior safety protocols around propellers after some nice local cuisine. Now, of to experience the salmon in Monterey Bay. They'll have plenty of stories for their whale buddies.

How truly lucky you all were to watch these beautiful orcas in the wild! Please stop chasing them. One of the boats actuall went right over the top of an orca, 😨 Propellers can seriously injure , if not kill them and that would be tragic! If you see any whale you are not supposed to get any closer than 200 or 300 feet and definatly cut your boat off. They have 2 babies they are protecting and one of those babies looks very new. Thank you for the GREAT footage!

That hamburger you just ate bled too.....

Obvious the pod was teaching the young whales how to hunt. Thanks for the great video footage.

Was not expecting bloody Flipper, but the drone footage was cool

The Dolphins are playing in the bow waves of the boats skimming around, and the Orcas, have learned that that's where they'll be, while the groups of boats are flying around, and have adjusted their hunting strategy accordingly, using the boats as a hunting ally

How incredible that you got that footage! I guess the people in the boats didn't see the footage from Spain? Whales similar to attacked boats. Them fish are scary!

I know we think of these wales as sweet and nice because of movies like Free willy but I wouldn't wanna mess with one!!!

awesome creatures, definitely wouldn't want to get caught skimming near them though

Remeber hearing about all the whales attacking sail boats in the med recently? Now I know why…

So smart orcas.

Wow. A lot of beautiful footage capturing the magnificence of these remarkable creatures. Mesmerizing to watch the pods social order with baby in tow. ✨💫✨

Awesome video

Nice capture. Curious, what kind of drone did you get?

Saw all of the boats clustered up there from Salt Creek a few days ago...any regs on how close boats can chase them?...knew the Killer Whales were back...

Nature is ruthless and cruel but necessary.

Orca's are highly intelligent creatures..."DO NOT THINK THEIR BEING FRIENDLY"...they are learning to in hopes one day be able to POP humans out of their small craft and make a food source out of them...this ain't Shamo from Sea World...come on people...wake up...

Sounds like the music that’s playing at Sea World .

The price don't seem to be staking the boat.

Just WOW ❤️❤️❤️

Very respect wow wow wow ❤❤❤❤😱😱😱😱

Step into the wild ❤

If I am reincarnated as anything I'd love to be a killer whale. Total freedom and a absolute unit of an animal.

Knott So Excellent ¿

Not that rare. Have seen them many times between the mainland and Catalina this time of year. They follow the whales south and back north after they calf. Usually feeding on the babies.

They harassed a pod with boats for how long? And they had a baby with them ? When they tear off the rudders, gee, I hope they can hear me laughing. (Not referring to the beautiful drone footage which was fine. Just don’t want people who take harassing footage to get a platform. Maybe you could consider that.)

Looks like boats are stalking whales .Yeah da whales must eat you just figure this out come on

Apex Predator

Nice footage...... But wouldve been better without those damn boats around them sea creatures. FREE WILLY!

I am your subscribers please Android phone gift ❤🙏🎉

Beautiful drone footage, but stay away from them with your boat. Learn the rules those props will cut those orcas cheeses supposed to keep 100 yards.

Killer whales are dolphins. Total thugs.

Those boats are annoying

Love the Drone footage but it's definitely not legal to be around the wildlife and follow them around like that you can stress them out and it interferes with their natural wildlife movement and ways of life so that could have been a big huge fine or jail time for those people depending on how they want to take it because yeah you cannot follow around and stress out Wildlife like that or impede their movements or impede their natural way of life... all those people in boats and not one of them knows that it is against the law to do that with wildlife in the ocean... some people just aren't fit to own boats... great footage from the Drone though, absolutely amazing
