Killer Whales Prey On Gray Whale Calf, Humpbacks Interfere; Monterey Bay CA
At least 16 humpback whales harassed 11 killer whales after the killer whales killed a gray whale calf in Monterey Bay, CA. Although the calf died within a few minutes after we arrived, humpbacks continued to harass the killer whales for over 6 hours: could they have been trying to protect the dead calf? NEW RECORD: This is the longest known interaction between feeding killer whales and mobbing humpbacks. The tightly grouped humpbacks made loud trumpeting sounds, rolled and slashed their pectoral flippers and flukes, and closely approached (and even chased) the killer whales. The humpbacks were still interacting with the killer whales when we left them near sunset.

    The humpback strategy may be twofold. Aside from the obvious defense of their young, by helping other prey species they are trying to deny easy access of a food source for the killer whales in order to hamper the predator's long term survival,

    That was awesome!!! I know that humpbacks are very much protective of other whales and that was amazing to see! I'm sure that there's going to be a lot of comments in here about how sad it is and the "killer whales" are so mean and horrible, etc, however, to me Orcas are so beautiful and strong and extremely intelligent! Definitely my favorite whale! Question though, if you can answer it for me, were one of the male Orcas known as 168 I believe? He has a very tall dorsal fin that kinda curves at the top.....

    i feel like killer whales are smart enough to know you dont take a fight you dont LB for LB win. water restricts large movement but the level of power in a whales body simply to move that body is enough to gash an orca near in two if a tail thrash connects. let alone a mature humpback could breach at any point, bringing unimaginable destruction to anything underneath it. i believe it was 70 orca that managed to hunt a blue whale so it would take no short of 30-40 to take a mature humpback

    Super interesting Humback whales will go out of their way to help Gray Whales ext from Orcas Attacking a baby whale. Seen it a few times. 9 times out of 10 the Orcas will give up if there’s a couple adults. Too much energy expended. However 1 and they always win. Kinda brutal watching when it’s a lesson for the younger Orcas and not to kill. Mother’s Day incident, but mother and baby actually survived. I don’t know how they did. The baby was rammed so many times. Went on for hours. I think of Tilicum the age he was captured, he was learning these hunting behavior’s. He never forgot it. I Believe he never forgot his family! If they had put him back into the waters with his family that are still alive, they would’ve accepted him.

      Baleen whales such as gray whales and humpbacks do not travel in family units, unlike killer whales - where in many cases offspring stay with their moms for their entire lives. Gray whale moms usually travel just with their calf, but occasionally with others. Humpback moms also are seen only with their calves. No cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises) ever travel as a family units - with Dad, mom, and offspring; males do not linger after mating.

    Thank you for posting. This is the most educational account of this event so far . My own "theory" is that we are witnessing what I simply call INTER-SPECIES INTERVENTION . The one species will attack one of their own "enemies " in defence of another prey in instinctive response - both maternal and territorial . Examples would include the very famous house cat who drove off a dog attacking an autistic child. Another is the lion pride who scared off human abductors of a 12 year old girl-why- same reasons as above- the men looked and behaved like poachers who are a major threat. A leopard may take a baby gazelle from a troop of baboons and then let it go , due to a confusion of different instincts. Other examples are Hippos intervening with crocodiles preying on wildebeest , dolphins against sharks to protect humans etc , whales against Orca to protect seals, dolphins etc That is my " little theory " I don't mind if you don't agree - we are all getting an education . . .What do you think ?

      Altruism. It is one of God's rarest and cruelest gifts. It is inherited, but for my family it's not dominant. Mine comes from my father's side, though it is very hard to pinpoint in him personally, but with years of careful studying... My sister has none, zero. Mother has none; both are Christian, "good" people, I dearly love but bc of my instinct; not bc I believe they are kind ppl. But I have one female cousin on paternal side who has it; it is not debilitating to her like mine, but it certainly affects her personality and shapes her life hugely. I may also be seeing it in her brother's oldest daughter, almost ten now. I don't see her much, but I think I have heard of some kindness in her... We are really just this fall starting to study the lineage in depth due to my progressive resentment of the trait and my impossibly progressive cynicism. I am now "homicidal" intermittently. Earlier today reading the newspaper I became enraptured in last year's stolen car with handicapped dog in back seat; car found 4 days later, dog had been killed in back seat. So now what to do? I contacted the involved parties, detective, etc. for updates... but that's not a good idea just in case the person was caught and I kill them. So now I'm on the dark web. I won't elaborate. So where to draw the line? Today was Christmas; an exciting seemingly normal holiday. But I read the paper and now this is my day. Tomorrow something else. That's altruism. It ruins my life. I am 40. At 7 my first controversial dog litter recon rescue. Then vegan. ALF 100%. Thanks for letting me rant. No more internet today, third time saying that.

I had just hopelessly resolved to pray for her, feeling maybe it was silly. So I just got idk, zoomy(?) happy and was bouncing and praising God for maybe 7 minutes, dogs jumping around too; and then I started crying; I really thought she was dead, so many scenarios and why would she be gone for 3 whole days? Louisa does not even know I exist.

    All Orca still treat all humans as if they're whalers and thank Hell for that pact or the ocean would certainly be a more deadly place to film. Wolves are smart enough lead a hunter to a kill for easy shares but an Orca given a Harpoon would make like a human and slaughter a herd for just their tongues and leave the rest floating as repayment.
