Killer Whales: Up Close and Personal 

omg I am so lucky to watch it the day after, you commented this.....I was actually thinking about Delphine journey......and when will the video come please reply.....I AM REALLY IN LOVE WITH YOUR WORK IN THIS VIDEO. Well what about Liaison {MOTHER}💖.

@@dikshasoni. FANTASTIC!! I'm so excited! I study the Orca here, in Australia, and the New Zealand pod/s. I am fascinated by the different culture, language and even what 'appears' to be.. different..'accents'!, lol. I have been following Delphine's , and her pod's journey and development through your scientific research and video footage of her and her family. It is so beautifully filmed, showing the intimate family moments of this Orca pod..due to your respect and empathy of these beautiful, stunning, incredibly intelligent, sentient beings. THANK YOU, for the time you've given of yourself, and the respectful and caring nature, in which you do so, to share these wonderful and RARE moments with us. It is TRULY respected and appreciated!!

@@dikshasoni. Yes!! I wasn't sure how to spell her mother's name. Do you know if that's accurate..or were you just taking a guess, lol. It 'phonetically' (sounds) like ..'Lee-sohn', to me, but being French, I wasn't sure how it is spelled. I have tried to find it on google search but can only find (so far).. as her being referred to as *A2*. It also says that she was given the name of **_*Mae_* , (by a Captain who's ship was stranded/shipwrecked) in, I believe.. 197'2'.. if I'm remembering correctly?? Interestingly, she was ALSO (self?)-stranded on the beach!!

@@KABrown-jp5eh Turn on the caption for name💖. No need of google the name. Well you said you have been following Delphine and her pods .....are they safe...I too love orcas like how beautiful they are.....actually I ended here after watching some videos about SEAWORLD and TILIKUM....dont you think they do bad to these creatures??like see how much they play in how much area....and area at seaworld i dont think so its enough 🤯

@@dikshasoni. Very good point! Because it was in English, I didn't even think of doing that, lol. thanks!! :-D Tbh, I don't like them being on, unless film is in another language it, as it covers part of the screen on my laptop, which is why I hadn't considered. That, and also, there are often massive mistakes &/or mistranslations, when auto-generated & not checked by the ppl who actually know correct spelling/s.. ESPECIALLY with names, and the plethora of 'alternate ways' ppl seem to use these days, lol. :'-D Hope you have/are having a great weekend!!

It was great. Once saw a short of a pod after a seal on a small ice flow. Two in tandem tried to overturn the ice and succeeded when they were joined by a third. The teamwork was incredible. These are amazing creatures!

Ikr Delphine is so problematic and dramatic I can’t with her 😂

Delphine needs a whooping and to be put on punishment as well: "No jumping out of the water 🌊 like Shamu for two weeks! If you give me any talk back I'll make it three!" 😂 😆 😂 😆

When she was lost I was like oh no ! Please don’t get hurt 😢 so fascinating how she was just staying still & was taught to do so! So intelligent!

Me too

They could have also told her since they have their own language of sounds.

@@rottweilerfun9520 and dialects! the several types of Orcas also was found to have their own dialects!

@@BarugoSama which makes it even more sad to think about the orcas in captivity from different pods being unable to communicate with each other 😭

@@forg13 Boycott Seaworld!

@@CoreyMillionaire2029 and advocate for the end of breeding programs!

I literally cried. I said to myself a mother of 2... if she can have patience with her child.. I can do better with mine lol.. 🤦🏽‍♀️❤

@@Deedee0503 Learn from the whales, and teach what they taught you to your kids. One day they'll grow up to do the same....

Naughty. Lol. Thinking the same thing. She is a Mum so hopefully she will curve it. Love this family.

My folks certainly were never this tolerant of my shenanigans as a kid, momma tore my butt up for that kinda stuff, and if you really fucked up you got it a second time when dad got home, and that old man hit hard

Maybe she was like Delphine when she was younger.

And then you woke up

I need to see edited clips of the Delphine Show complete with typical cheesy sitcom music, canned laughter and regular guest appearances from the elephant seals. *Coming up on today's episode* 15:52

The end where the narrator says the family leave the island and for the next however long, they have no idea where they go, what they do or how they live. My brain immediately thought "I know" and heard the cheesy song for Milton Keynes shopping centre and now I can't stop laughing. That's where they'll be spending their time and hard earned cash for the next few months... CENTRAL MILTON KEYNES 👗👛🍷💃👠🎩 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vQaRDg9y2Xg.html

Filming for a few months every few years is more than enough intrusion these animals need. You want a reality show, go find yourself some humans who have agency to say no if they choose.

​@@charlottewebster4233 😂

"lost in the kelp" 😂

@@gorpim 😂😂 yoooo chilll

@@gorpim What second meaning does this have?

Reminds me of getting lost in the supermarket as a kid😂

"Delphine get yo ass in your room. You're grounded."

❤❤👏👏👏 hermoso aprendí más d las ballenas orcas

Thank youuuuuuuu🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.You did great.

Amazing. Congratulations from Spain ❤

Beautifully done 😊. Eagerly awaiting the next installment. Informative and calming.

Thank you ! It's absolutely wonderful.

When her mom turned around and whipped her tail, I wonder did that help to push the water to free delphine.

I'd be making side bets. Lol.

@@willhickey7387 😂🤣😂🤣😂 ok, youre officially in charge of taking the bets and holding the money. You will have the former elephant seal Beach champion 8 seasons running from last year as your security so none of those sneaky little penguins try to hold you up at flipper point. Don't let the built in tux fool you, they can get down! Case in point, "The Transporter 1 & 2" even though Jason Statham was wearing suits and not tuxes lol.

😂😂. Best part penguins don't have pay. It's a free show lol

"I'll bet you 30 sardines and two red bass that the one on the right takes it in the 3rd round; as he is more conditioned and built to last late into the final round." 😂

I noticed this too and wondered what the penguins think about that😂 Obviously they’re aware of it, but does it matter to them? Is it relevant who becomes beach master? I just wonder about the level of awareness that animals have about things that are not instinctually relevant.

Exactly! Especially considering how the baby’s used(?) to be taken away from the moms when held in captivity. Also, how orca or animal shows in general are still legal in many countries us absolutely beyond me

@@wiebkke Those shows, such as Seaworld, are under the disguise of "marine conservation facilities". And their performers are posing as marine biologists. People think they're doing the right thing!

@Genghis Khan What?

@@coffeecrimegal5968 I don't get it either.

@Genghis Khan What are you talking about?? I have my own relationship with God, so I’m very aware he loves me thank you! What’s that got to do with this video and thread?

Lol.. right...

Were not the only intelligent forms of life on this earth 🌎, personally most species are superior to us .

@@mervynhosking4970 ok

@@mervynhosking4970 yeah. I think u proved your point when u wrote that. Lmao.

Only thing is they didn't know the reason for the child going up to the shore. It's one of many way they catch pray

Well said.. I like that...

Humans these days just take to horribly beating their offspring.

😢😭

@@hazelfisher371 She has a lot of fun and love too, and it was beautiful humans who documented this, there are always flowers in the garden for those who want to see them.

@@hazelfisher371 ?

Lol

Hahaha Adorable! They dislike when ppl take their fish away, and rightfully so.

Wonderful! Make sure to NEVER go to those marine parks though. Captivity kills!

Plans are underway as of now to rehabilitate the now retired Tokitae (Lolita was just her stage name)in her Washington home waters after 52 years of captivity. She will be placed in a sea pen like Keiko was to get back in shape and relearn to hunt until her family passes through. She's been retired from performing a full year and MSQ wants her moved because she's just a financial liability to their new owner the Dolphin Company. All that's left right now is having the governor signing off the proper permits for her move!

@@CoreyMillionaire2029 WOW! That's WONDERFUL to hear😃. Thanks for the update xx

@@frangy865 Most definitely. She's a survivor.

I see you in every comment section thank you so much for spreading the information that you do ❤

​@@paimonspie8913 There was a press conference about Tokitae's move just yesterday. She WILL be going home, hopefully in the next 18-24 months at most, they said. Everything has to be VERY well-prepared to ensure her safety during her return to Washington's Puget Sound.

So that's all you have to say? How about its amazing how intelligent they are. Oh they are super predators Oh its amazing how predatory they are. I understand now why they are on top of the marine food chain. Or Maybe wow its amazing how important they are, we need to make sure the ocean remains clean and full of life for them to continue thriving.

It's for my enjoyment. It's not evil.

@@meej6452 no, it's still pretty bad... Enjoyment doesn't = good... In the Roman empire they watched people be hunted and killed by lions, tigers, and all sorts of predators for enjoyment, pretty sure that's not something good... Even though it brought some people enjoyment. They're clearly highly intelligent animals, just like we're highly intelligent animals.

@@neilsiebenthal9254 I was just being sarcastic lol. But the same argument can be made for pets and animals at the zoo. It's not a necessity, they are just for people's joy and happiness. Actually it's even worst for pet owners because their animals relies on human beings instead of being free in the wild.

@@neilsiebenthal9254 Those people the Roman Empire fed to lions and tigers where criminals on "death row" so to speak. Im not disagreeing with you on anything you stated, just clarifying some facts.

I'm a big Belle Delphine fan too. I think passing her knowledge to future generations is an amazing idea

😂😂😂😂

@@wowisowns 😂🤣

I hope so. She seems to be an at risk youth that needs major intervention in order to make a 180° turn for the best. 😆

read comments, the original director has a great one on there, Delphine is now 23yrs older (she's 37 now) alive and well, has 2 cubs of her own.... circle of life😊

You're into putting the whole group at risk? Awesome

She's only 14 dude calm down

@@getwthenewage4871 Delphine now has two children of her own!

​@@thegoat-ishere4414 She's 38 now. She was born in 1986. Her mother was born in either 1949 or 1950. She's since passed.

Nothing that any of those circus acts at Seaworld could EVER match.

Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸 What is MAHUN?! Many greetings and HEALTH

this is also fake

@@Killeroreodolphin no

@@godemperorlech5422 I meant the edited footage and the story narritive

@@Killeroreodolphin It's not fake, Orcas are extremely intelligent.

@@godemperorlech5422 i know, but most nature documentaries are mostly cut of edited footage and adding story telling

😂

Right?!

Orcas yes! Killer whales??? Absolutely not. Scientists hate that

Yes👍🏼Yes🙏Yes😍Yes👏🏽Yes❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Majestic Killers

Me too my favourite animal

💙💙💙

A sequel is being made.

Glad she's doing well! We're all a little curious when we're young. She's a beautiful lady now I'm sure. Momma girl has 3 cubs to take care of huh? Amazing! Love this family. Thanks for the update. Take care.😁👍

Thank you ! I'm excited to see her offspring in your next film. How is Delphines Mother ? The Matriarch ? She was a good strong leader for her pod.

I'm a bit puzzled by this description because, as far as I know, orca babies are called calves, not cubs? But I'm excited to hear that Delphine is a mom now! I bet at least one of her children are going to stress her to death just like she did her mother (and everyone watching this!). 🤣 I'm dying for another documentary that will follow Delphine and her family!! Orcas are just incredible.

@@rottweilerfun9520 Lusion passed away years ago.

How about Rodion, Venus, and Junior? They still with her and her three calves, or is Delphine forming her own natal pod with her children now?

omg YES!

Orcas are too much of ferocious killers for an animated kids show but maybe Disney could make it work like Lion King

agreed!!!

@@thegoat-ishere4414 LOL 🤦‍♂️

Yes!

only after getting approval from his mom haha

It's not a mystery when Orcas can identify each other.

male orcas are totally mama's boys! they only mate with females that belong to the OUTSIDE of their pods, but they still need their mother's approval 🤣

Lesson: Learn how to tell jokes in orca. It might save your life.

Sounds like a normal night on Grindr.

never killed anyone in the wild , but at SeaWorld, different story, #orcasrevenge ....what was his name? tilicum or something. a renegade orca in captivity that has killed trainers...hate to say it but good for him, it's a travesty these magnificent creatures are kept in captivity.

@@sherryneglia4804 Especially considering he was stolen from his pod in Iceland and died knowing only a concrete, chlorinated, and miserable prison.

Yeah, they're more human than so many people today. I've always seen animals for what they are: individuals with a life story.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R4N0_AYzvKQ.html

They certainly are stunning and amazing creations of our Lord Jesus Christ! BUT to say they are as intelligent as humans is a ridiculous stretch.God created humans in his image and not the other creatures in this earth. Also, humans have a soul that can be born again in Christ and inherit eternal life. Animals and sea life cant.

AS intelligent AS humans...? I haven't checked in a while, but I don't remember any orcas building rockets to go to the Moon, or making discoveries such as electricity and spacetime lol They are incredibly intelligent as wild animals. Actually fascinating how smart they are. Now, a statement like this would be more accurate Edit: and for the other pious user: Jesus&Company have nothing to do with any of this

Let us know when a human can "see" in pitch black water by using his own physical sonar.

Must be near were i live!

Ever been to Siberia in summer? Tundra ...

It's that side of the Equator.

You'll come back as a dung beetle 🪲

lol I use to say I would want to be a great white shark but then I studied orcas & chose to be an Orca instead as long as I don't get captured and have to live at SeaWorld or anywhere other than the open Ocean

Second after humans stop it, I don't see them selling each other out for a few pence, it is us who need to learn off them.

Did you know orcas, unlike sharks, can regrow their teeth when they break them off?

This documentary is from the year 2000

@@Praying_ManTas Feels more modern. Just saying.

It's an ugly necessary evil. It branches to all animals kept in zoos. The monkey, wolf, panda, bear, kangaroo, ostrich, dolphin, gazelle, hippo and so on. But they garner interest from the public. Ample number of people do it only to be entertained and go home, forget about it, or share their experience online. But the few people that are touched by seeing these animals, go on to help many many more. You can argue we can see them through video - but as an example and drawing on my own experience - I thought nothing of the 6 million Jews that died in WWII until I went to Berlin and saw the little golden plaques on the sidewalks. Suddenly it made it REAL. I felt the sorrow and sadness, the unwarranted persecution, and the guilt Germans feel. Yes we can watch Rhinoceroses in documentaries, but when you see one (at a zoo) they become REAL, as do the concerns and emotions that may lead one to help. It's horrible that animals are in zoos, but they are well cared for (bar some exceptions). The comparison would be to imagine your bedroom - in which you have everything you could possible want and need, but you cant leave it - people can watch you, and you have the ability to change their thoughts based on what you do. It's inhuman under such circumstances you're an object of reflection, and terrible you can never experience the wonders of the world, but you are making change - whether you want to or not.

As long as tickets get sold, the killing will continue.....

Totally agree! Absolutely disgraceful!!

That's why scientists saved her as a calf, because she got into mischief so much.

That girl has ADHD or something. lol

😅🤣😂 w.t.f.???

100% relatable, isn't it? 😂

...ich mag die Videos, wo Orcas in Gefangenschaft irgendwann durchdrehen und sich an der Spezies (Mensch) rächen, die ihnen so viel Leid zugefügt haben. Leider hat's zu wenig dieser sogenannten Trainer erwischt. Hätte gerne mehr davon gesehen.

Eventually we will understand their language and perhaps use that understanding to communicate with them to some degree. Scientists are working on it now! Orca is 2nd only to the mighty hippo for me, they are related, Scientists had assumed the hippo was related to pigs...

Also cruel

❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍😍🤝🏻🤝🏻😘

How are you doing today?

Wouldn't that be just absolutely amazing... We could learn so much about the ocean.

let's just stop hunting them by the masses and call that a WIN.

@@dopetheadjective2020, I don't think that Orcas are hunted anywhere , but I'm all for not killing any whales at all.

@@rottweilerfun9520 they still are in "coastal fisheries in Japan, Greenland, Indonesia, and the Caribbean islands." It was worse in the 80s though

We can

Thanks for your kind words. Delphine and her family has been seen last week near a longliner offshore Crozet. The sequel will take some time to produce, but we will already dedicate 6 months this year, from November 2023 to April 2024. To achieve this, for obvious financial reasons, we will also make other films on birds & mammals population dynamics, plus a series penguins, while our team will be there with top notch 4K gear.

Orca mothers essentially invest a lot into their male calfs so they can be the biggest and baddest sire for neighboring pods.

a good dose of skepticism is important in interpreting any animal behaviour, but I must tell you there are many decades worth of solid ethology studies done on these animals. scientists have been following the same families/pods over generations and comparing language, social, mating, rearing and hunting behaviour of different populations in different parts of the world. this data are solid and the interpretations are reliable, IMHO. Regarding the rescue, I haven't found the original footage but you can watch a bit of it at the 13 minute mark in this documentary: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uW9mcG0rdLY.html

@@hugobiwan1 I respect and appreciate your perspective, sir. To be honest, orcas are so intelligent it's difficult _not_ to equivocate their behaviors with associated human behaviors. It's just so... _recognizable._ I had seen that documentary. Fascinating to think it discussed this very orca! They are amazing creatures and we are lucky they allow us to get to know them.

SHUT up and stop reaching!

@@AGDinCA Well Humans have a large Cerebral Cortex, a logical thinking part of the brain that makes us different to most other creatures. But the amount of folding/surface area of the cerebral cortex, the gyrification index, is about 2.2 in humans and about 5.7 in Orcas, the highest of any known animal. And no I didn't learn that in school, I just watched this amazing doc: the bit I am talking about starts at the 20min mark, but you will want to watch the whole thing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GimCcrwYxdE.html

Amazing video

🤓😋

The key word is "Killer".

@@desertfairychickres4021 there's never been a recorded attack or fatality on humans by wild orcas, or "killer" whales as you like to call them

@@tomlib6794 Recorded. Lol

@@tomlib6794 wouldn't the event at SeaWorld be a recorded killing?

@@andys3035 the key word is "wild"... SeaWorld is not the wild lol. There's never been an incident of orcas attacking humans in the oceans.

We can definitely set it up as regular people to communicate with this intelligent species

I think al whales are smart not only dolphins there are storys of humpback protecting divers from tigershark

Yeah, I was also thinking that. Humans definitely would have labeled her a problem child and diagnosed her with ADD/ADHD and used that as an excuse to chemically neuter her rather than channeling that energy into something positive.

No mandatory, nearly trial-level vaccines either… I mean, we only evolved for how many years without 7 boosters for a single virus 🙄

Lots of cgi
