Lagoon 450 attacked by orcas 

😂😂

Word gets around.

😂

😂

Just plain dumb

Exactly what I thought.

Not doing anything won't save your life...

So film them might save you?

false thats like saying dolphins dont swim with sharks lol and they do

@@jplockport1 false, dolphins don't eat sharks, killer whales eat the livers of sharks. sharks disappear when Orcas appear. fact!

@@jplockport1 And dolphins are not all sweetness and light either.

Sharks will not gk near an orca they legit kill and eat them for there liver only.​@jplockport1

Sharks seem to fear Orcas and flee when they sense one. Also, Orcas do hunt sharks.@@jplockport1

witty

Naughty possum!

AW CAn u grab my camera so I can CH ALKA this up on my bucketlist, and pass me that fORK Huh 'cause I'm gonna eat some pOrk AH!

Orca Strait outta Gibraltar

Too much human plastic monsters in the ocean.

Some orcas are starting to attack ships in response to a aggresions by poachers in Spain

🤣🤣😂🤣😂

arguably , but quite possible🤔I think that's how they study the world

@@travel_sim We do know that orca tend to use hunting techniques common to regional pods and rarely adopt new ones. This is thought to be because it is a learned behavior taught to new pod members. They have been seen teaching juvenile orca how to use hunting techniques. This is also why it is hard on Orca populations when their normal food supply is depleted as they don't have a ready source of new food to switch to because they have always hunted a select regional diet, fish, mammals, (other)dolphins, etc and have not learned techniques for hunting other food sources in their region. Some pods can hunt many different food types but these tend to be ocean pods that encounter a larger variety. In my region they stick primarily to salmon and other fish. Even seals and sea lions are a rare snack for them (unfortunate because this would help the salmon population). The decline in local salmon populations, mostly due to neglect of salmon streams and over development, has led to an endangered species designation for them in the Puget Sound region (NW USA).

@@socket_error1000 maybe hunting, but still doesn't feel right, why don't they finish the hunt🤔and something it seems to me that the current cardboard boats are not a big problem for them.

@@travel_sim I was using the hunting techniques to demonstrate that they teach these behaviors to each other and they can become generational behaviors within the pod. I don't think they are hunting the sailboats but simply treating the rudder itself as a threat because of some past negative encounter with a sailboat rudder. Sailboat rudders are typically long and strait, unlike the more square shape normally seen on a propellor driven boat. They would be easily discerned and the sailboat rudders are what are being targeted in these attacks. Even in the one that sank it was because of the damage to the rudder and leaks caused there that led to the loss of the vessel. It should be noted that there are no reports of them attacking the keel of the sailboats either, a much larger and more prominent feature. This makes it less likely this is just playful hooligan behavior of juvenile orca, as some have suggested, as they are not randomly targeting different areas of the boats nor any variety of boats. If these were random attacks I think we would have cases where sport fishermen and pleasure boaters would be reporting hostile encounters with orca when adrift in these waters.

No. They are just bored. Wise up and stop virtue signaling.

Great White, Tiger and Orcas are very intelligent so it's quiet clear that they could as if you are saing, the sound of a boat with feeding. Not only the tourist guided but also from fisherboats there's always a "treat" for them. There are records of schools of orcas besieging tuna fishermen. Especially the fishermen in very small boats from the African side. One or the other came back with only a skeleton.

Spear fishers are having the same issues here in Australia. The shark cage tourism has trained the great whites to follow boats and associate them with food. So now everyone that uses boats in the area are at risk.

Brah ,. good knowledge right there ;)

Ok bro but the truth is Orcas protect their natural Feeding zone ( BIG TUNAS). Some orcas was attacked with arpons by fishermans. Sorry my english is bad Im spanish

in San Andres is the same but with manta rays. they will come to you and you can lift them and touch them almost like pets lol is just nuts

Dont fuck with orcas .

@Steve Scott

No. This is repeat behavior. Many many sailboats have been attacked. Several have sunk. Pretty clear this pod doesn't like sailboats.

No lol they’ve literally ripped the rudders off boats. It happens often

@@BostonsF1nest I wonder if it's because they get fed. There are zero acts of aggression recorded between human ls and Orcas in the wild. And the encounters happen on a daily basis all around the world. No doubt that they'd scan whoever fell in the water and identify them. Seems they either want attention, have been fed from boats or aren't aware of the humans. Mostly at night right?

If you move the boat with orcas playing with the rudder, you can sink your boat. 😉⛵️

@@Arthurskipper It doesn't make any sense, if the boat is moving or not, rudder damage can be fatal to a boat ... I'd rather be moving under sail, hope to be clearing their location.

Hydrophones receive - they do not transmit. You mean some kind of [expensive !] sonar. Sonar has never deterrred any whale or similar form approaching sea going vessels. Orcas are curious animals and they are interacting with somehing in their space ....;and I for one would have been very concerned if I had been on that boat....big powerful fish vs manmade structure in deep water....some experts think the Orcas are wanting the engines to turn the props so they can "enjoy" the prop wash...might be tru and it might not but either way - not an enjoyable encounter.

@@brendanukveteran2360 The answer might be an LRAD system fitted for underwater propagation. LRAD are extremely uncomfortable for human ears because the volume is intense. They fixed LRADS on ships being attacked by pirates so that they could broadcast intense noise at a distance. It seems that the Orcas are focusing on the rudders and the centerboards, so it might be necessary to have removable boards fitted.

​@@brendanukveteran2360 they are not fishes, mate)))

What about simple big firecrackers?

That's a better suggestion than mine.

An Orca can swim two and a half times faster than any cruising Cat that has ever been built.

Yes, Frequency 7.62

that’s what I thought, maybe something like a sonar you can drop into the water which emits a frequency that they don’t like, as long as it doesn’t make them worse that is !

Obviously the Coast guard should arm up with a large calibre rifle and firei if neceassary ....Once they become emboldened this could become a serious life threatenin problem....nip it in the bud. Its like the croc problem in Aussie....they USED to move away rapidly now theyre taking lives every year in some gruesome incidents too.

@@thinkcasting3182 I was thinking the good ol M80

Or something they find soothing and nonthreatening

Thanks, Ron!

By the comments descriptions, I think they're disgruntled ocean unicorns.

'Whale Killers' actually, it's a meaning lost in translation.

good point!!!

OREK, ORKOWIE TO BYLI W WŁADCY PIERŚCIENIA

Then why don't they attack fishing vessels? They are bright enough to notice the obvious differences between such vessels and how they act in open sea. No sailing boats are busy fishing like stationary fishing boats ...

@@OmmerSyssel they have, though smaller ones. They're large brained, intelligent mammals - they're not going to attack something they can't successfully dominate. Similar to their experience in nature, they coordinate attacks on species where they've a clear advantage, whether by size, speed, health, or circumstance. Orcas generally avoid other species that pose a serious threat i.e the male sperm whale or pilot whale, unless those whales are sick/injured. So, likewise, orcas coordinate attacks on smaller sea vessels whom they 1) see as a threat and 2) likely can dominate. Orcas, in the Straight of Gibraltar , are the only orcas throughout the world to be documented attacks a sea vessel. It's a completely isolated phenomenon.

Whales have been attacking boats for many centuries. There's no reason necessary. They are just oceanic pests that are aggressive and "territorial" (water version).

@@OmmerSyssel You are giving it way to much credit. It's a fucking animal after all. They are smart, but to say they know the difference between a fishing boat and a normal one is rather optimistic.

Was thinking the same

I was thinking the same. Maybe paint them the color of their predators, or a foreign color like bright red?

@@jackfntwist I do not think they have predators except men. Maybe a bright color could work.

lol exactly - glad someone said it. they want the shittty lagoons on the bottom of the ocean

nah. its all basically one of 4 frequencies. its just food. they are trying to get people to throw them food. not that difficult to figure out.

@@ct1762 What food would you give them, a can of sardines from the fridge, maybe a banana or an apple

@@HRkapitan A Salmon? ... or a Chihuahua. No sorry, that last one would just be me, in my dream, throwing the neighbour’s Chihuahua overboard for peeing on my ankle during the day.

@@HRkapitan what? how would an Orca know what food you have? but yes, sardines would be perfect . its the fact that they are waiting for food. not that deep or complicated.

@@ct1762 They aren't waiting to be thrown food, these orcas have a specific diet and they are perfectly capable of getting it for themselves. The sound of the engines are irritating them in some way. In the video they were told to shut off the engines and wait. After a few hours the orcas left, then when they turned their engine back on , the orcas returned.

You ask too many questions. Please try to keep it to one question per comment. Thank you.

Nah... nothing they just wanted trouble from the start.

It says at the end they came back when they switched the engines on.

​@DeeDeevanGogh you must be Russian KGB

@@MartinezC. Close. I fish professionally all over the world. Much like the KGB what we do requires covert intel and it's all top secret. #SlavaRussia

Hahaha, just as I suspected, !!!

😆😆😆

Exactly what i thought Wonder what they are getting paid per rudder.

@@Martin37vg apparently the going rate is 10kg of sardines

Very clever chaps!

I agree! They’re one of the ocean’s top predators and if they wanted they’d have done way more damage! Why are they filming over the side of the boat when they’ve been specifically told not to?

Ganz große Kino 😱😆

training even, for catching tuna!

That behavior is clearly not a "playing" type of behavior. They are not hunting but there's something that they don't like in certain boats maybe the sound of some propulsion motors but they are not playing for sure.

@@emersoncoelho7187 Look into what the orca experts who study them say. They suggested it was a form of play from the young ones.

@emersoncoelho7187 NPR news had a report about this behavior, and they interviewed people who study orcas and this group in particular.

My daughter's dog used to play with lizards. Would bring them into the house to play. You would not like to be one of the battered bleeding corpses that dog had played with. I had to euthanize a few.

yup my thoughts too . flare into the water .. or gun shots

I wondered if they like chili oil. It spreads like magic on water. Breathing it in is about the least fun you can have.

Orcas are highly intelligent creatures. The Mediterranean Sea is basically empty due to overfishing at this point, and Orcas are intelligent enough to realize HUMANS are to blame. They're starving, and they know exactly why. They seem to attack the boats particularly when the engines are on, as moving boats are a threat to their food. As we destroy our oceans, the intelligent species that live within it aren't going to play nice anymore.

Yes and they are teaching their young to do it. One theory is that they know humans are to blame for the lack of fish in the area so they are seeking revenge

@@janm.j9924 well they are very intelligent!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KmgjWdIc7jc.html

@@bargepoled why should such a bright animal attack sailing boats which doesn't fish? If they're starving wouldn't they seek other hunting grounds instead of wasting energy on sailing vessels, which they have no interest in after sinking? More likely a new sort of entertainment, like playing baseball with seals without eating them.

Great to hear from the horses mouth ,very much apprieciated to hear the reality.make sure its all well documented too as its great info as ur there to witness it,gotta love fresh info 😘

This is incredible! Imagine the raw power of these majestic creatures ❤

Does anyone know or have Theory on why they do this? I'm very intrigued to understand. Do they want to eat the humans? Do they view them as a threat? They're irritated by the sound of the engine frequency it's putting off? Maybe the engine scares away their prey?

@@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786they are just curious animals

@@fritty9927There is likely much more to this than just being curious IMO.

What an incredibly ignorant point of view. You’re in their domain. They are protected in most jurisdictions. If you are so irresponsible to suggest utter disregard for creatures such as these then you seriously don’t deserve to be at sea. Unbelievable hubris. This is why I’m a misanthrope. 😠

Then don’t boat. But of course you are suggesting killing them.

Agree. Sadly 90% of comments seems to come from sofa skippers.

Humans follow them to take the fishes they’re supposed to hunt, and attack them if orcas try to get some from those fishing companies, so they have to do what they have to do. These pots are close to extinction already.

Maybe they are bored with the people loitering on their sea.

They sunk reportedly two boats, one of the boats with structural damage before even the incident with the orcas happened. There was never an “attack” as what marine biologists would account as attack on any boat. This are interactions that unfortunately cause damages to the boats and more unfortunately two to sink. But no human life lost yet. I’m myself a sailor and I have to say that I don’t understand sailors still using this passages solo and not in convoys. The orcas only interact with single boats, not with convoys or more than two boats. I know it’s not completely unavoidable to use this area but at least don’t attend the passage with a single boat. There are also measures that keep the orcas of the boat like towing a dinghy behind and the orcas plat normally with the dinghy instead of the sailboat. A real attack would be that the orcas would jump onto the deck to damage the structure and to sink it in like they do with whales. Sadly no one knows if this interactions are intentionally or just out of curiosity or training of the calves. Also is a decline in whales being observed in this area, might be a reason why orcas use sailboats as substitution or it’s even a revenge for us fishing their food away (which I personally doubt because they would attack most likely the fishing boats and not sail boats). Also I hope that people don’t start reacting violent towards the orcas by using fireworks, guns or even pouring diesel or engine oil into the sea. To make a pod of orcas angry won’t end up well for the boat and crew though. We normally see only 1/3 of the entire pod, mostly one or two adults and the calves, the pod is most likely three times bigger as what we see, when they get angry and really try to sink a boat it will happen for sure. I doubt that (expect maybe a steel or aluminium yacht) will be able to withstand a hit of a jumping orca. This would mean a hit of 6 tons punctual onto the hull, I doubt that the structural integrity will withstand this force, which would cause the boat to break apart and sink, but even if it would withstand this punctual force, it would definitely flood the boat by sinking it in and the boat, because most likely the doors might be open will take on water which will also result in sinking the boat… each way the outcome of a real attack would be devastating for the boat and crew…

Some of the Orcas in this region have a history of being part of the U.S. Navy U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program (NMMP), target identification, search for drifting divers and neutralization of nautical vectors... a few decades ago, killer whales of the MK xx series did not return to their enclosure, including one positioned off Morocco. they transfer their "gains" to other lineages and to young people.

Can we shoot them if my family is under attack?

It’s their home!!!

@@shellymilligan2953 It's not their home. It belongs to everyone.

My thoughts exactly. Never understood the advise of doing nothing even in a potentially dangerous situation. Had it been a pod of rogue bears they would have been dealt with a long time ago

depth charges??? Dude would you be sailing the ocean with sticks of dynamite on board? a single spearfishing gun would do

They have been hurt by boats before, so they don't like you being around. If they wanted to sink you it would of been done in seconds

exactly.

Probably the fishermen were feeding them with their waste catch. Doesn't take much to alter an animal's behavior.

@@SledPemberton I was on a commercial fishing vessel. Because of quotas and restrictions on the kind of fish we were allowed to catch we were throwing back a continual stream of around half a tonne of "by catch" every net haul. Forced by governments to do that, unless you want to have your boat confiscated and go to jail.

The sea is not empty 😂😂😂

@@stephaniemorrissey5114 I don’t understand your comment really well. Are you laughing and dismiss the dacht that the sea is empty of is it my type O and bad grammer. It’s stupid to short line a comment to end with emoji. Nobody understands what you like to say. Nevertheless the sea is Empty for them. I pointing to the orcas. And as many fishermen admitted they can’t find any bleu tip tunas . Also the Mediterranean sea is empty. Only fish farms are in abundance of fish. If you know better please hand out that data and make us all happy

interesting theory. they are trying to turn the boat, maybe?

It wasn’t the Coast Guard, it was a radio station that was listening on Ch16. They did offer advice, these 2 decided to ignore some of it.

@@christopheripad477 rightfully so since the advice was useless

Maybe because humans in boats are depleting their food source. Not sure if they can figure that out but it’s a thought.

I have read a lot of ignorant comments over the years but this one may take the cake

🤡

They will kill someone if something is not done.

No aggression? You seem to not understand how strong fiberglass / metal is.

Yeah exactly

The orcas can swim at 60 km pero hour, the are so faster than the bost

as soon as he turned his engine on, they returned... (it's in the vid)

it shouod have been, but the coast guard continues to give this stupid advise of just waiting it out

I agree!

A positive lunch

THe boat had no major damage. Do you think that you could survive if they were seriously attacking the boat? c'mon guys use the brain. These orcas aren't fighting, so no need to fight back.

No sensible German would be that naive... 💰🐖💰

I know all about it, I am a Moroccan and soremar are amateurs.

Talk about a helpless feeling. Can't get way from them. That's a 40+ ft.boat too. They're pretty brazen.

I agree a 45’ boat is a fair sized boat. I’m not sure if it’s a cat but if it is, it’s a really big boat.

​@@jeffhodge7272This particular boat weighs like 35,000 pounds the orca can't do shit even if it wanted

@@MrSilus2000 The sure can damage to the rudder.Then you have no way to control and you become driftwood. 😏

@@jeffhodge7272 are they really gonna come close to the propeller though?

A new study came out saying that it may be that the orcas are actually just bored. That due to the recovery of the fish stocks they do not need to work as hard to feed themselves so they’re playing with boats…. What a scary experience.

anyone die? they have insurance? competent sailers? have the proper repair materials for offshore sailing & know how? appropriate offshore boat? Sailing is not mall shopping, there are risks, still pirates too. *Ships hitting whales have killed at least 12 in Canada this year & injured many more...

@@whistlerlife7180 Not much repair work too be done when a whale swims off with your rudder and leaves a gaping hole in your boat.

@@whistlerlife7180 it's not a question of competences or adequate behaviour. These vessels are not constructed for attacking creatures ...

@@Mach1Greeble read 'Nigel Calders repairs at sea' lots that could be done if you are prepared & understand there are many possible risks in offshore sailing. Some boats are inherently weaker/lighter in design/construction and are easier to damage & harder to repair ie spade rudders, bolt on keels, balsa cored hulls etc

@@OmmerSyssel Yes I agree, as the owner of a 49' 24 ton Colin Archer for 26 year, out board rudder on Gudgeon/pintles (no hole in hull for steering tube), encapsulated ballast in the solid hull, I would feel more secure, from deadheads, semi- submerged objects ie containers, groundings etc as well. I would also try to alter course to avoid any hazard that might sink or endanger my crew & boat; hurricanes, pirates, poorly charted reefs/shallow water, Icebergs, the Sargasso sea....

Orcas hate defective bulkheads and poor quality 👍

I believe it's the flavor of the gel coat.

hold the camera

Filming #1 priority 😂 get out of sight for fuc.. sake. As long as they can see you they won’t leave. What part of stay away from the sides did you not understand?

Or someone, some day, ran down a baby with a sailboat, and they are not impressed. Person in the boat would probably not even know it. We had a cat that tried to climb a juniper to get a grackle nest. From that point on, every time, during the season, that she was outside a grackle was posted to follow her and make a nasty noise. They never let up. Years later they were still at it, it must have been passed down through the generations. So a whale, no sense of humor if it ever lost a calf.

People could easily kill these things. TNT would be a good method to change their minds, and might be lessor lethal if tossed in the water away from them. Do their skull have more than the 17 inches of bone people have regularly shot through to kill elephants. Just using military calibers, not even "elephant guns" The people who fish for whale species in Canada use elephant guns to put them down. If I was a whale I would attack every Zodiac I saw. Nothing like environmental tourism to ruin the neighbourhood.

You know we used to hunt wales 10 times their size before we even had light-bulbs.

@@TheAgentAssassin What does that have to do with anything?

the only correct answer is only 5 likes, damn humans are really stupid.

An interesting theory but l doubt it to be correct.

@@johntchb If you could avoid liking yourself like a big ass**ole that would be good. And argue that you have the right answer ! Maybe.

Orcas have learned how to eat the catch of long line fishermen off Alaska. The US allows them to use sonic devices attached to lines to repel them. The Government of Spain does not. Most of what I have read says these are young whales having fun. Probably only belonging to one pod.

You are correct most likely a nice training tool for Orcas.

Exactly what I was thinking.

why didn't you just harpoon one... teach it a lesson...

luv it , was thinking the same, it will stop that behavior pretty quick

Until one leaves the water and belly flops on to your Boat

I’m not sitting on my boat while a monster eats it. Shut the camera off do what ya gotta do

Yeah like a shotgun.

That may be part of the reason they are attacking boats.

@@sammylacks4937 do you have any evidence that people have been shooting them?

Yeah for sure! They get the message that you want your boat rip apart and be left alone in the waters.
