TOP TEN Killer Whale (Orca) Encounters Caught On Tape 

They're not gentle at all they are incredibly brutal. Humans are just not on the menu I guess.

Gentle Giants? They can surgically remove the liver from a great white shark, and have been known to kill whales just to eat the tongue. They just don’t see humans as food and are incredibly smart. They are the true Apex predator of the ocean.

I removed gentle giants so y’all can stop having an aneurysm over it. Move along

I doubt they have never attacked humans, but the only humans who have likely been attacked are hunters/fisherman that live in very remote areas. An Inuit man goes out on his kayak, a hungry and desperate Orca decides to take him, and his village just assumes he got lost at sea or died from rough waves. It also helps that they generally live in areas where humans can't swim due to water temperature so Orcas rarely meet humans in a vulnerable environment. If Orcas lived in tropical waters attacks would likely be much more common.

Exactly

STRAIGHT THE FUCK UP

"He blat"

No but ong 😭😭

Rs😂. Can miss me with that

In a big boat yes not a kayak

Yoooo. i was just thinking that. THem things are beautiful.

There is no upside down in water for an orca

​@god985 I mean I guess your right makes you wonder of they feel the same feeling we do when we are upside down

to right how fast lol upside down but no they goin to hurt us they playin

The boat is what is letting them reach such speeds, the waves of the wake carry them. That's the reason dolphins follow boats, they are having fun going on a joy ride.

Agreed!! There was also sweet Luna, and the local people knew him & vice versa. They said he was lonely & didn’t belong to a pod so he viewed the people as friends/family:)

yes but very big

​@@ericawilliams6963it's a female not a male

@@onlytheartofliving6936 It was determined Luna was a male, but they decided to keep the name Luna! You can find this info by looking it up & also there’s a big discussion about Luna being male above under another thread on this same video.

I grew up in the Puget Sound in Washington. My family and I would encounter a pod of orcas every time we went crabbing. I remember feeling uneasy when we were on a 16 foot Boston Whaler. I'd definitely shit myself in a kayak. Lovely creatures though, one of my favorite animals.

Lmao same

@@rameychisum2891 They are wild animals and can be curious.

“I can do this all day.” -A certain Captain

Wotter Melon OH NOW I’M CRYING

I can’t remember if it was this or a or another but an elder from one of the native tribes had a strong connection with one of the local pods and he believed that he would return to earth as an orca and a few years after he passed an orca was getting really personal with a lot of human so people from his tribes believed he was that orca pretty cool story but sad how that orca got killed

Luna was most likely killed by a crew onboard a fishing boat, he spent a lot of time around people and boats and had no wounds from outboard motors. He was a smart animal and the fishermen were being affected by Luna’s presence and therefore probably killed him to stop their livings being affected. Bastards.

Fucking hummus

I love her so very much 😍 I loved watching that documentary. I love all of them ❤️😍❤️😍💙💚♥️💙 It shot me through the heart To read these last comments. Really my heart is 💔 Absolutely crushed 💔😭 Thank you all for your replies. I'm effing miserable now! If you only knew what I would do to those fishermen. You know that guy they found in the tank at seaworld. He was so bodily bruised and broken up. So many cuts and abrasions. And I believe they said his testicles were ripped off. That's what should happen to those fishermen. I think they said he was naked And that he got in the tank. That guy must have been on drugs. Or he was crazy!!

Oh definitely. Had my mouth wide open throughout that whole part.

it seems straight from a movie

So amazing I couldn't believe it was real.

Sad because it looked really well natured

"The Whale" documentary narrated by Ryan Reynolds is about the whole story. I have it on DVD because I could not find it streaming anywhere. It's so sad, yet beautiful and amazing.

That large pod is pretty much nothing compared to the one I saw back in 2010 up here in Nunavut, Canada. Must've been like in hundreds, if not, thousands....right after seeing a Mermaid in the area. That moment was once in a lifetime......very very large pod of Killer Whales in one area. I think that mermaid controlled that pod, because they were in a straight-line. It was unbelievable! Though, I've seen mermaids couple times. First one was in 1998, since then....I became a believer of my grandparents stories 😊

@@inummarik You believe in mermaids??

@JP yes, we share the lands and waters with these, you call "myths" and "legends", everyday.....year round 😊

Paul Colbourne tf does that mean

Turned ur comment into 666

Thinking the same. Especially how long they were going.

its not keeping up with the boat. they are using the boats wake to swim easier. its like riding a bike downhill.

@@dooshbaguette6636 either way the orca was swimming upside down while keeping up which is impressive in itself

Seeing this I remember their poor friends forced to live in tiny pools at Seaworld & co.

Orcas have never attacked a human in the wild. In a tank yes but not in the wild

Yes they're that fast and can go extremely long distance

So Beautiful 🙌🏽 god is good

These are orcas, not whales and certainly not humpback whales, so I don’t know why you even mentioned them

@@pyropulseIXXIdolphins and orcas don’t hunt people. 99% of the time you are 100% fine in the ocean as you aren’t natural prey of any of the sea life.

@@pyropulseIXXI I’ve recently seen a video saying that humpback whales are quite good at fighting orcas in comparison to other whales, so maybe that’s what he’s referring to, the fact that being next to humpback whales is reassuring regarding orcas ?

​@@skullhelmet1944 They aren't whales, they are members of the Dolphin family. The original Spanish name for them when properly translated was "Whale killer" (the name originally comes from the Spanish) (due to their diet which includes whales) they are called "Killer Whales" in English because the English speakers who adopted the name apparently didn't understand context and just translated the Spanish name as it was written "asesina ballenas" and got "Killer Whale" creating the misconception. Depending on the context "asessina ballenas" could either mean Whale killer or Killer/assassin of whale's "killer whale", the Spanish clearly meant the former according to the sources covering the subject.

It’s cringe when they all laugh with amazement. Like how come they all react the same way? 😂

Levi Loves erwin Sometimes it’s nervous laugh, because it is unexpected to encounter whales so close on a daily basis. Imagine yourself minding your own business and you see these things come out right next to you 😅

@@leviloveserwin1809 you would react the same way you human being

Okay so when you guys say you love when humans get excited. Then another says its cringe when "THEY" Laugh. Are you guys reptilian or something?!

we're living in a world where seeing animals is magical but reaching instantly to a person in the other side of the planet is kind of meh

You do realize that while surrounded by orcas the human is still the apex predator in this scenario and not the orca

@@MarcA75 Tell it to these people

they don’t attack humans in the wild, just in captivity

@I.R Baboon we are definitely animals with instincts and all i consider humans animals. And i believe we fall very low on the food chain. Yes we are the most intelligent and this makes us clever enough not to consistently be eaten by predators that will no doubt attack and kill and eat us if not careful. I guess theres a debate here

@I.R Baboon and we are meant to swim thats why we have webbed hands and feet. We just dont live in the water lol.

1 recorded injury from orcas in the wild ever, an orca was trying to play and made such a big splash it sucked a kayaker under the water for like 10 secs xDDD

You'd probably never be safer in the water, my guy. 😂 Sharks, despite media, also don't attack very often despite how many interactions they have, but even an adult great white wouldn't go near a pod of orcas. You swim in a pod and you'll be pretty much untouchable. 😂

😂🐋. Me too

No clue how people stay so calm. Even if they don’t harm people.

Me too...they are sitting there giggling I would be paralyzed with fear.

Facts!

I know I would have been expecting the same thing. Something THAT massive moving that close to me. I get intimidated standing near a horse, knowing the amount of raw power the creature has and could kill a full grown man with one swift kick. A single Orca whale could toss a boat with humans around like a dog with its favorite chew toy.

did u notice the camera shaking? lmao she was freaking out inside

@@Voysh2Voysh69 oh as soon as that 5 foot fin popped outta the water I woulda been omw to heaven via heart attack 😂

@@Voysh2Voysh69 I’ve seen videos of them punting 100lb seals like footballs. That lil Kayak would be destroyed

Sea birds watch predators and gather where there's about to be a kill, as they'll pick up the pieces. If you're ever in the ocean and this happens, get out!

Called riding the wake!

Good deterrent, like the way you think.

Your comment made me laugh so hard out loud, thank you

They're bastards and love torturing other creatures for the laughs. Just curious about humans. That seal punt was 100% intentional

oh my god 🥲🤣 i also laughed out loud

That’s why we love them. The Apex predator of the sea.

They are really gentle with humans. I feel like it's a generational thing because I watched a video of a mother teaching her calf to swim gently around humans.

M4sked i know that, won’t stop me from having a heart attack if i see one😭

Not all orcas are frendly

@@puppylover6885in the wild, they're more curious than anything. You have to remember they're the biggest member of the dolphin family, which are usually gentle with humans(besides bottlenosed dolphins.)

:)

yeah right , does an orca know something about calculus

💯😂

@@aydenyz if we could communicate they probably would be able to learn it

@@aydenyz Intelligence come in different types.

Trust me the boat was on high speed not the orcas 😂

droopy fins are caused bt stress and the synthetic salt water in tanks only 1% of orcas in the wilds fins droop

@@latisamedic7303 obviously i know that, hence my comment

When they have a healthy and natural diet their fins are straight

Only the captivity are dangerous once. I never heard of orca attacking human's in the wild. If you know 1 please do share

Can they also be know as ocean pandas 🐼

The 2nd group is lucky the orcas did want to play around cause I think they could have easily caught that boat. Mfs was flipping around doing backflips on they ass 😂

I went diving with orca whales before, they are actually really calm if you know how to behave yourself in their presence, you need to filter out any fear and stress and just go for it, they treat you like another one of themselves(just a smaller version), I seen orcas with babies as well, those are a bit more protective, they would nudge you a bit to tell you, stay away, so I kept my distance. They are extremely smart animals, and very dangerous predators at that, but that doesn’t mean the moment they see you, you’re done for. It’s a great experience regardless.

FACTS

Orcas r smart enough to not attack humans

Orcas are smarter than humans. Don’t think they won’t tear you up.

Because they know emotionally, we are like them. Also we would be a terrible food source. Most of us are skinny and boney as fuck (in comparison to most of their prey) , and most of what we pump into our bodies would be terrible for them and they know it somehow. In my personal opinion, they are more intelligent than we are in some ways. We know they can communicate with each other. Who knows what they’re saying behind our backs lol

@@fart63 ok So I understand they know we dont taste good But do we know if they taste good

@@floppytitz992 don’t even start that shit lol

@@wimple2042 a bird?

Paradoxlltbw it is. It has a fin.

kyrah That’s not how you classify a fish lol. An orca is related to dolphins, and is a mammal.

Not dying and almost dying aren't the same thing, though.

just knowing that if they wanted to eat you they would do it

Or almost pooped laughing 😅🤣

well they kinda did. i can think of a hundred ways they couldve died even by accident

*chuckles* I'm in danger.

xD xD xD

i nearly choke-

moose (I don’t remember the plural) can swim underwater 😂 it’s pretty unusual but they can

@@mai-san8891 I'd say the orcas just step out of the water if they want to

actuall i think they should be the ones thankful for our mercy.

😬 damn man....could br

Not reported bc no one seen it..how many people go missing every year?

Off the coast of Spain and the Gibraltar straighten have been having orcas attack sail boats. They been doing coordinated attacks, ramming the hull and chewing up the rudders. They've damaged allot of boats and even sank a small fishing boat. No one has been hurt as of yet. The fishers who had their boat sank had another larger boat near by that they were able to get to before the little one sank. It's the same pod of really young orcas doing it. They don't appear to have an older Matriarch guiding them in these attacks.

@@pixie3869 i just imagine what could happen if other large boats weren't around...😬

They probably are. My guess is they know all about humans, and think that if they start taking humans out, it will invite unwanted negative attention.

You could say the same thing about cats being adorable. What's your point? I'ts funny how you completely ignored all the clips where orcas didn't launch seal into the air for fun. See how easy this is?

Lol it’s odd that they like us but they eat seals…..I got a feeling if they knew what dirtbags we are we would be the ones they are launching into the air.

@@axe2grind772 I’m sorry you’re a dirt bag, just do better 💙

@@amandajohnstongroovingupsl2976 haha your comment made me giggle, well played.

@@amandajohnstongroovingupsl2976 Humans don’t kill Orcas at an alarming rate? I was under the impression that they did.

Lol

Eden Mashraki about 16yrs ago we were in a small speed boat in monterey bay with my cousin and had a pod of about 400 dolphins following our boat every where we went for about s hour i was even able to touch them multiple times n get real close. it was an amazing experience

@@AGTTMAOOTB a great experience wasn't it? 😊

dolphins*

Yeah bro, but I'm not a great white shark, you know?

Orcas got a whole menu on their diets.

Some Orcas were spotted actually drowning sharks in the west coast of the US by exploiting the fact that sharks need to move to breath. They do some shit to put the shark in a trance to prevent them from breathing, and so they actually drown. but they NEVER, EVER, attacked a human in the wild so that's good

@@WeIrDGuY19941 so they turn the shark upside down which induces tonic immobility, then they eat thier liver and just the leave the rest cus theyre not just water murder pandas, theyre connoisseurs...also supposedly the reason they dont attack us is because theyre smart enough to recognize us as the threat we are...like killer whale 101 basically consists of "avoid those tiny pink land bitches, they capture us and make us do bullshit tricks in a tiny ass pool til we die"

@@chrisdavey5530 lol truth!

Technically they are Toothed Whales.

@@FatherManus what are you on about they come from the dolphins trees family.

@@iskindersam4899 Dolphins are types of whales - toothed whales. However, not all whales are dolphins. It's a fun fact. ;)

@@CaramelnCoffee They're demons of the sea because they're cruel to other animals lol. We're too far removed from their food chain to care about us I think.

Cuz we’re the land version of orcas

@@CaramelnCoffee I was more so getting at the fact that they terrorize basically every sea creature they can play with lol

They don't know much about us so they're just curious. And to be honest they should stay that way if they don't want to be made into orca sandwiches.

they are not in danger of extinction... they are ridicoulsuly powerfull and intelligent predators.

well all animals and beings are worth it but I get your point. there's something magic about them, these wolves of the sea

Yes they are an endangered species. They only eat salmon and they are also dying off, so they're starving. ...

pam hunter where did you get that from?

@@pamhunter-to4xs get educated dude! Who told you they only eat salmon?

It's the exact same motion as upright in water...lol

I was thinking the same thing and twirling too, and keeping up. Just amazing ❤️❤️❤️

I wasn't even shocked I just lost my sanity seeing that

Orca's are known for their endurance and speed, they will chase a dolphin for mile and miles until it tires

That was Dope and I never seen a RU-vid clip of them doing that

Yeah even Great White Sharks will literally flee if they sense Orcas nearby. Orcas hunt them for their livers.

They are super intelligent and can recognise we are both not food nor threat so they usually go into a strage playful mode. There's alot to intelligent animals we don't understand and dolphins are some of the coolest out there

🤣 100%

Keiko the orca from Free Willy actually swam here from his sea pen in Iceland in 2002 and was seen following fishing trawelers to get an easy meal! Orcas in the North Atlantic all now routinely steal herring from trawlers rather than just hunt their own. Thousands of years of tradition changed in an instant.

Nah they’re intimidating af, if you see one, you’ll shake like crazy

@@Dippa1991 don’t deny that, but the statement still stands.

I would love to have that experience!! I wouldn't be scared of them at all, if I'm not mistaken there are no known orca attacks on man in the wild, as far as the few attacks in captivity, I don't blame those orcas one bit for snapping from being kept in large swimming pools and forced to do tricks.

The thing is, if you go into the water with Orcas they won't attack you unprovoked amd when you're with an Orca noting else in the water is gonna try and check you, I mean great whites have left entire areas for upto a year after seeing an Orca once so its like standing next to an army of one 😂

*almost never*

Orcas don't see us as a common Threat, except for Whalers.

@@shawn2strong Yeah, but at least I can spell.

Yes because there big i would be terrified am seriouse

You don’t need to be terrified of an orca lol

Completely agreed. They wouldn’t hurt people. I gather that there’s never been an incident where wild orcas hurt people. There’s also never been an incident where one person went into an elevator alone and then people came out of the walls and killed that person. Doesn’t stop me being afraid.

@@christinaauer1563 The only ones at least harmed to the point of death is in captivity actually and that's it

I don't blame you. You can read all about how they're not harmful towards humans, but in the face of a huge creature that can easily topple your boat if it wanted to, and not being able to guess what it might do next time it surfaces, fear is the natural reaction.

Cat Nini That last orca was Luna, and I believe that the person interacting with him was one of the villagers who lived near the bay Luna lived in, and he interacted with Luna regularly. He may be one of the indigenous people, and they have great respect for Orca, and I think they believe they are ancestors... if not that, then maybe they hold them sacred for some other reason, but either way, and whether or not that guy is even one of the indigenous people, he’s interacting with a whale that lost its family/pod, and basically was adopted by the people of that village/bay (or Luna adopted them as family). If you don’t know what I’m talking about at all, there’s a documentary on Luna you can easily find on RU-vid, which I recommend. Just be prepared to either be heartbroken, enraged, or both by the end, bc it does not have a happy ending, unfortunately.. The main part, what happened before the end, is actually quite beautiful, however.

@@nikolademitri731 ya its fucked up whoever did that

I wish I could touch one but I know I shoulden't

Its the most scary place to be lol

The air is ...

It's the primordial soup, origin of all terrestrial life on Earth. I like to think part of our fear comes from an inherent, almost genetic, knowledge of what horrors used to lurk in it's depths. What wayward terrors crossed our ancestors' primitive minds as they fled those cold dark waves to the warm dry unknowns sprawled before them on sandy beaches? If only we knew beyond a doubt. Alas, all that is left is but to wonder. Wonder and fear.

@@shshdnsns3016 nah cause only 5% of water has been discovered you dk what you’re swimming with

@@keithcunningham3131 Not most scary. Several dozen people die every year due to attacks by sea creatures (including sharks: about 10 victims every year). But because of poisonous snakes on land: tens of thousands every year (and other poisonous creatures: as many again) ; because of diseases spread by biting of mosquitoes and flies: many million people every year. Compared to the land, the oceans are very friendly to people.

That last one is Luna. Pretty incredible is his story.

I was going to say that is Luna for certain. Poor little boy, it’s a beautiful yet sad sad story for sure. Nootka Sound is a special place.
