Orcas approaching swimmer FULL VERSION (unedited) 

Nice one!

Yeah we stick to the fish turtles and seals full of plastic 🤪

@Rob Slowinski You’re saying that as if we aren’t also the cause for that junk.

lol

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

Sounds like a beautiful experience, thanks for sharing.

That makes sense. How cool was that story.

what a beautiful story! you are very lucky! i wish i would live near the ozean 😢well.. thank you for sharing your beautiful story 🙏

dropped off at the daycare while mama goes to work

An amazing experience of a lifetime, I think your assessment is correct, she notice you had little ones too...wow!

I never though she could have been trying to move the swimmer to safety. I appreciate your views about empathy. Incredible event. Brave swimmer!

I see these thing coordinate and attack seals on ice and are now attacking boats, no way am I swimming along side one. They might just decide that this could be food.

I wonder how they know not to attack humans. I’m not talking about because we’re not palatable & there’s no fat. But the emotional aspect of it. How would they know if they didn’t try to bite? Do they just assess us physically or do they have ESP?

​@@chiccavaquita I would vote for the ESP

@@justtestingonce everyone says they are safe and statistically they are but that’s a wild animal you’re dealing with so assume with caution.

Cetaceans are so intelligent; you're probably right!

This kids is a human. We don't eat them, the fat will go right to your thighs

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

"See this students? Notice how it is almost all fat? That, combined with the poor taste common to most land animals is why we do not eat them. Take a moment to notice how slow it is, both physically and mentally. Hardly prime nutrition.".

@@Ag3nt0fCha0s I pretty sure somebody swimming the shoreline like that has ZERO body fat. I'd bet my entire bank account on that. They sure as fuck don't have enough fat to make this joke work.

No that is all I was thinking. Especially with the waves.

is a normal swimmer. it's not stamina it's a good technique. when you learn the technique you can swim a long time

3 Zay man that lady has balls that clank! And great stamina lol

Superb stamina she could run around America and the dolphin would be tired 🤷‍♂️🤣

Yes!

nah one of the orcas have something stuck on its mouth might be one of those instances like those that trended where an aquatic life asks a human for help.

Or, maybe what they're really saying is, "is that a seal? Cuz if it is , let's eat it. Wait...I don't think it's a seal. Dammit!"

… and they'd also add "And for PETE'S SAKE, you don't have to breathe so often! Take a breath and GO DOWN for five or ten minutes!"

Mommy Orca: poor thing can't swim properly, maybe I'll stick around to see if it needs help.

I was just telling my husband, it would never happen for me but one of my dreams would be to swim with an orca. I love them, I always have. He said I was crazy and that it would be terrifying 😂 I said I would like to touch one and maybe grab on for a ride hahahaha Seriously jealous right now

Actually people have been killed by them, but those were at Sea World, not in the wild.

@@starwarswannabes285 that's what they say here, "not a single human has been harmed by an Orca in the wild".....however, thats not to say its true, as I suppose there could very well be undocumented attacks of some manner that may have happened and the only witness ended up In its stomach.......so, to me, its still a wild animal that is unpredictable.....just like humans sometimes LOL!

They are smart enough to know better. We don’t eat them, they don’t eat us. Respect.

@@tonymarselle8812 I don't know......any wild animal that is hungry enough might be smart enough to eat us regardless of how much respect we have for each other.....and I wouldn't put it past it that humans have caught and eaten these creatures at some point in time as well......

I think they have a more acute sense of smell and know we smell and taste like shit.

Mommy Orca: Yeah, you can keep it, but you are gonna have to potty-train it. It looks like it's pooping in it's wetsuit right now. Baby Orca: Hmmm, you're right... Think I'll pass.

I'd think she (the Swimmer ) is very healthy... Your crack was funny just the same

Lol

“No, it’s unhealthy.” Hilarious! (I think the Commentator means “humans” in general, not the swimmer herself)

Why was a drone filming her?!?

@@timbarry6746 the people were on the beach, and had a drone. Wouldn't you use your drone to watch them, if you saw some orcas just off the beach?

maybe there is even a chance that orcas would defend the human if sharks or smth else would try to attack the person

@@roxydzey I honestly wouldn’t doubt it. Sharks, Great Whites in particular are afraid of Orcas being as their livers are high up on the menu for them! So they pretty much steer clear of them. Humpback Whales have actually been on record as saving humans from sharks & drowning. 💙 🌊 🐋 🐬🖤🤍

​@@roxydzeyThey wouldn't even have to, even sharks are smart enough to stay away from Orcas.

Mikey moo I would have!

@Jon Robert Anderson II or brown trout!

no way. I would trust Orcas not to harm unless if unintentionally because of their size and power. Cant imagine what I would give of value in my life, to have had this persons experience greeting a playful family of Orcas! I'm surprised she kept swimming and did not engage them, but it's esay to speculate not being in the situation.

Probably met orcas before.

I love orcas so much, but I still would have shit my pants.

..and the rubber suit will stick between your teeth for ages xD

Somehow they know not to eat them. But sooner or later one of them is going to be curious what they taste like.

But mommy the sharks say they are really tasty.

Naw, she was teaching her calf

The moment Mama Orca tried to block the swimmer's path, it seemed like she was trying to lead the swimmer in the direction to the shore. It is most likely possible that it was trying to help the swimmer get ashore.

well sharks not wanna kill/hurt humans as well, they aint just as smart as orcas xD

They know we have Nuclear Weapons!

Ever been to SeaWorld?

True, unless you stick them in a tank and force them to do stupid tricks for food, separate their pods and treat them like property. Then they will attack humans.

Intelligence has nothing to do with their distaste for humans as prey. They just like what they like.

@@slytheringingerwitch wouldn't anything/any one attack in that kind of scenario? Only natural course of action

Actually Sharks run away from Orcas (not surprising as some of them Eat them - Great Whites have virtually been wiped out off South Africa).

yep ^^^ i also read, when a shark has been killed, other sharks in the area will FLEE. they flee thousands of miles. if an orca even so much as passes through an area, it's said sharks will leave that area for about 1 year. just wow!

Long distance ocean swimmers probably understand that Orcas are pretty harmless and just curious. Oddly the safest place in the ocean is with the Orcas so the swimmer probably felt no fear or nervousness at all.

First Time Forge: Exactly! No shark in its right mind would dare to approach with the orcas there!

Yvette Arby Eh, if there are sharks in the water... Why go swimming? Kiwi’s be sharkbait 🙃

What other choice did he have. Its not like he could outswim them, may as well just keep your calm. After he noticed they were not a threat im sure he felt very calm

The swimer was kind of ignoring them.... You can tell by his body language at one time that he could clearly see that they were there and noticed for a few secounds. 'Seemed like they were not on the swimer's agenda.

She has been :) I just found an interview by searching her name and orca 😊

@@rachelgoldfarb9390what was her impression? She seemed focussed on her swim. Was she training for a triathalon?

@@urrywest the interview was not extensive. She became scared that they would attack her and she got out of the water. She waited until they left and got back in to swim, and then they came to her again. That’s what this drone video captures. She said it was an incredible life changing experience. :)

@@rachelgoldfarb9390 Maybe she got used to the attention.

@nevy channel yes, animals belong in their natural habitat. some animals can tolerate humans better, but to lock up these creatures is just plain stupid, same with birds and other big animals. i can understand zoos trying to educate the public about animals can help, but only if the treatment of the animals is very good and they have a good life. unfortunately there is not enough laws protecting animals from human stupidity / abuse.

OMG, Is that even still legal?? Thought they couldn't do that anymore? They can only keep the ones born in captivity. We _need_ to pay attention to our _own_ country first. BEFORE we go spouting off about others. If the torture is _still_ legal here, what gives us the right to complain about _anything_ happening in others countries?? 🤔IE: Rainforests, burning fossil fuels, killing the endangered, poisoned beaches & so on...

@nevy channel The attacks in captivity often are actually violent either. If an Orcs wanted to, it could pulverize human bone to a jelly. The couple of people who have died from Orcas in captivity often die with just some minor lacerations, a few broken bones. The main cause of death though is drowning. Which indicates the Orcas were frightened or anxious and were dragging the trainer down into the water (Maybe to protect them, which is an instinct when they feel threatened). If the Orca was actually trying to kill a human, we'd most likely literally see the organs squeezed out (Which is what they do to seals, which are far bigger and stronger than humans). But we don't, as said, it almost looks like they were just frightened and running away with what they viewed as a vulnerable member of their pod--and unfortunately humans are extremely fragile comparatively.

susan brown There are no fatal attacks on humans by Orcas ever done in the wild, but there has been one recorded bite.

@@whengrapespop5728 Makes ya wonder what that person did to get bitten. Lol

Excellent!

She was definitely curious and I was wondering if she lingered around because of sharks in the area, who knows, but they are pretty well friendly to humans outside of captive ones. Be well!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RqcOakYskQ4.html The interview with that swimmer.

The lady swimming is well known for her lifelong studies and research on Orca. Several other videos on YT about her, and the encounter that day. Wonderful experience, and footage!

I would think that too until they released one that had been in captivity in sea world and it showed signs of depression and eventually died. Maybe since they stick to family groups they actually have feelings and developed a bond with the humans and felt rejected when set free? You could make the argument that if they were never in captivity they wouldn’t have had that bond to begin with which would be true, but since they can’t talk, well at least not in a way we understand, we don’t know if they actually preferred their captivity where they were always safe and well fed? We assume they would prefer freedom, but maybe not?

I 100% agree on this!

@@mikeheimer537 No, not really. Orcas and all dolphins can repeat words and scientists have started a recent study to talk with cetaceans. But even though we can't literally talk to them at the moment, cetaceans show us perfectly well that they are unhappy in captivity thanks to the language of depression. Dolphins that commit suicide, or try to do so without succeeding, cetaceans that self-mutilate, others that have fun regurgitating and reingesting their frozen dead fish or eat sand out of boredom, repeated attacks between individuals of the same species because of a lack of space to separate themselves during arguments. We can also talk about natural needs. Hunting, for example, is considered a game for most odontocetes. However, captive cetaceans are deprived of this game, which is more than important to create links between different individuals. Also, the gigantic lack of space. In the wild, an orca would travel 250 kilometers per day, while a bottlenose dolphin would travel 100 kilometers per day. Both species are enclosed in 0.03℅ of the distance they would normally travel in the wild. Worse still, the spectators are sheltered from the sun but not the cetaceans, which have a much more fragile skin, the dolphins have no access to shade and the water is too shallow to shelter from the sun. All this so that the spectators can see the animals well Sensory deprivation is also one of the most recurrent problems in captivity. Dolphins have nothing to explore in their empty environment and even if they did have something to explore the tanks are so small that the sounds used for echolocation would bounce back so loudly that they would hurt the cetaceans, which is really horrible for these inquisitive animals. Also, dolphins are extremely fast, orcas, for example, can swim at a speed of up to 80Km/h, so when a cetacean tries to accelerate even a little bit, it is directly blocked by a wall. Knowing that speed is one of the favorite games of dolphins and that it also serves to bond between individuals, this is a huge loss for cetaceans. To be a little less general, there are also heartbreaking stories such as those of Gudrun, Splash, Tokitae or Inouk, which I invite you to read. If you want me to tell stories, don't hesitate, and don't forget that behind each story is or was a life. I also have a lot of true evidence of the suffering of captive cetaceans to give. Or if you want any other information, ask me and I will answer you if I know. I always answer no matter how long it takes me to answer, no matter who asks in this comment section, I will answer. Now I have things to do, have a nice day and don't buy a ticket! Also, cetaceans can be rehabilitated. We have proof of that with Keiko or the dolphins that were released by Richard O'Barry. Keiko was a clear success, he lived 7 years free, met other killer whales and recovered from his illness while during that time 22 killer whales died in captivity and he would undoubtedly have been the first to see his condition before his rehabilitation. We also have the story of Stumpy which gives hope because while he is disabled, 5 different orca pods not speaking the same language saved Stumpy. We can imagine that wild orcas teach former captives how to have a life, they are largely social enough for that knowing that they even have an area in the brain reserved for socialization. And if not, the sanctuaries already in existence and those to be built in the future will form a perfect alternative where cetaceans that can be rehabilitated will train and those who cannot will have a well-deserved retirement. In short, young and fit cetaceans can perfectly be rehabilitated and those who cannot have other much better alternatives than staying in the chlorinated pools of dolphinariums where they crumble under the sun, are fed with frozen fish and endure the cries of the spectators and loud music by making often painful shows

There has never been a case of an Orca attacking a human in the wild. Sea World is a different story as the animals are locked up in a confining space which is hugely distressful to them.

@@Peanutdenver I agree. I believe it was an accident at Sea World.

@Mark Lfc Orcas have never ever killed a human being in the wild. My friend is a Marine Biologist at Scripps in La Jolla and she was the one who told me this....I think she may know a little more than you or me concerning orcas or any seas life my dude.

@Mark Lfc I'll agree with that

@Mark Lfc Orcas are very careful about picking their food, there is no such thing as ¨"feeding time" . Orcas hunt and they hunt in a groupe, highly coordinated. Their natural diet consist of seals and blue whales. They dont eat humas, ever! They have natural bias to our species for unknown reasons. Its also known now, that Orcas pass their knowledge from generation to generation and their love and friendship for humans is thing that is going on for a long time.

Hehe your lucky it didn’t slap you with an octopus!

Hell no if there’s a seal I’m outta there, that’s literally predator food 😂

not to mention seals can kill too!

If I were swimming and a seal jumped out of the water near me I would assume a white shark was chasing it and lose my mind. If an orca came near I'd feel safe.

Or hunger. Maybe they just had lunch..

@8comet AFAIK there is not registered a single attack on humans by Orca. They are just like humans with them being very curious.

They don't have to be hungry or angry to harm you If they just want to play...see what you are.... Dolphins and porpoises often investigate the whole "two legs" question Take a baseball bat and have someone wack you in the crotch to experience that bit of inter-species comminication

@8comet You're right, it's not just this occasion that tells us that. It's all the collective evidence about Orcas that show us that they have NEVER attacked a human in the wild.

@medusacries That's untrue. Please cite a specific case of humans being attacked by Orcas in the wild.
