@TruthKeepersOfficialHD2 it's especially surprising when you consider that he did mention it in an earlier video, I can't remember which one but I'm certain that he mentioned it in a previous video.
Naw, they don't have Rabbinical Jewish villains corrupting their minds and feeding them disinformation, so they know our species is corrupt and dangerous.
To be fair, the whale that accidentally om'd and couldn't nom that human was probably just as horrified as the human. Like 'AAAAAH!! WHAT'S IN MY MOUTH, GET IT OUT, GET IT OUT!!!'
When I went whale watching, we saw a grey whale doing barrel rolls while some dolphins jumped over him and swam under him, I imagine he was making interesting currents for the little guys, because there didn't even seem to be fish around for it to be a hunting thing. They just seemed to be playing/dancing/having fun across species lines.
0:45 That was the sight and sound of a man begging for his life, knowing he could only call to God cause a Hippo ain't listening. And I was terrified for him. Nobody deserves to be in that position with a Hippo on the other end.
I looked it up. He lived! He runs off right after, the hippo was apparently fine with just yelling at him. He was (is?) a zookeeper at Changsha Ecological Zoo who was apparently trying to break up a fight between two territorial male hippos. Thankfully, he made it out of there alive and unmauled.
and at the opposite end of the spectrum (despite his claims) is the overly orange, hate filled walking ego and diaper clad repository of the worlds worst ideas, the hero of the "I didn't think it through again" crowd and the terminally gullible masses, Mr............D.......J.........T !
The idea of something so big it's barely recognisable as an organism, that's nonetheless caring and curious, has a real deific vibe, I agree. Like what if the mountains were altruistic and occasionally helped the people and animals that lived on it?
I really appreciated that 90s- early 2000s compilation of different whales with the jazzy music. Felt like it came out of those dvds you ordered over the phone after you saw a commercial for it on the TV, a la ‘Lots and Lots of Jets and Planes’
What’s crazy to me is that whales are so long-lived, that we found individuals with harpoons still stuck in them well after commercial whaling stopped being a thing. Even though they’d have every reason to hate humans, and would have learned first hand what humans can do, they weren’t aggressive towards humans! Whales are just big enough in every sense that they essentially forgave us, and I think that’s pretty humbling
still is a thing but i think they know the difference between humans swiming and whaling ships they prob see the ships as big organisms while lone humans as something else
I wonder if part of it may be that they’re so intelligent they are able to realize some humans are dangerous but most are not. Like how we feel about certain animals, like hippos or sharks or even something as complex as how we realize, “chimps are mostly safe to be around, but they can do a lot of damage as a teenager.” Like they can distinguish somehow between the rare humans hunting them, and humans just being curious.
I just love how kind and dopey the face of a beluga whale is. They have a permanent smile and sound like a squeaky toy sometimes. They have that squishy melon part of their head too. Belugas give off the vibe of that one chill extrovert everyone can get along with. The friend who will say, "Hold on, what did you say?" when other people talk over you, and include you in conversations if they realize you're feeling shy and uncomfortable.
I read a theory is that that's why hippos are so egregiously murderous; they evolved from a much smaller creature which needed that kind of strat to stay safe, but when the hippo got big it never lost that gangsta mindset.
Given how large the teeth are for their size it probably means they're going after bigger prey than their body size would suggest. And indeed, they might be called "false" but just like the real thing they'll press whales larger than themselves.
“There’s something about those eyes my spirit doesn’t vibe with.” That is the most accurate depiction to describe feeling disturbed by a look. You are a wordsmith sir!
I'm from Brazil. I just learned that the Boto (river dolphin) myth about turning into a well dressed man who gets girls pregnant and disappears could be connected to sexual assault and unwanted pregnancies. It's so tragic
The scene in finding Nemo with the whale was the precise thing that triggered my thalassophobia. It wasnt necessarily the whale but the wide open nothing with a huge dark shape just sitting there, disappearing, then reappearing from a completely different angle. On land things can only come at you from so many angles
I had a similar experience. when it's deep ocean or open ocean in combination with a large creature or structure causing you distress, that's megalohydrothalassophobia. Sure that still falls under the thalassophobia umbrella, but i think it can help to know the exact name
Not gonna lie, I think I have something similar to orcas. Probably thanks to the "Blackfish" posters. Something about the color patterns on the orcas seems so uncanny to me. Same for sloths too though I'm more scared of them; the weird limbs and their creepy human-like smiles...reminds me of The Pale Lady from "Stories To Tell In The Dark"...
@trappestarrgaming3422 moles aren't dangerous at all. Just the thought of something coming towards you in a blindspot and you have no idea is absolutely terrifying. I played through subnautica just because I like a good scare but typical horror games just don't do it for me. When I played that though, the instant I jumped in the water, I just turned the game off and didn't pick it back up for a week. Even creative mode invincibility doesn't make it less stressful
The "thanks for unpausing" freaked my two brothers and I out! I paused to see if we could figure out the difference between a whale and a porpoise. We didn't come to a conclusion and un-paused. You said that and tripped us out for sure!
same, but just to let you know in case he doesn't say that guy was totally fine. whale tasted dude in his mouth and spat him right back out, but if he's anything like me he'll need some serious therapy, but then again if he's anything like me he wouldn't be in the ocean in the first place
now to unterrify you. even if that whale wanted to eat him, he couldn't. throat is too small for a human to pass down it. That guy lived after the whale spat him back out after realizing it.
@TyeJakVTuntrue , if it really wanted to eat or harm him, not only is it more than capable but it would not be unprecedented , all it would have to do is hold him for longer or smash him to paste with its limbs and then strain the paste through its baleen , they also eat small fish , baleen whales that is .. they eat them by the school load, and are more than capable of processing and digesting huge quantities of flesh .
All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, both are quadrilateral shapes. Like how all dolphins are whales, but not all whales are dolphins, both are cetaceans.
Funny enough they are actually one of the few species known to have grandmas. I think its humans, orcas and elephants only where females will regularly live long enough to experience menopause.
Fun fact: humpback whale calls can travel thousands of miles in the right conditions and some people believe they use their calls to map their environments (I first read this in the book An Immense World)
The way I understand it, Orcas are capable of the same amount of danger as well as kindness that humans are. You can’t predict Orcas just like how you can’t predict every single human. They each have their own individual and unique personalities. If someday science is able to prove that Orcas are at the same level of sentience as humans, I wouldn’t be surprised
And they are a lot like the family they grew up in. Some packs don't eat mammals at all. Some will collaborate with other species in hunting while others will defend their turf mafia style.
@PingvinAnd1 Ah yes. That rivalry between France and England. Where they spent literally 100 years at each others' throats. Or France and Germany, the border of which was the site of one of the bloodiest fronts of two separate World Wars. Just rivalries.
"Same traits and no relation means convergent evolution" I'm the type of learner who benefits greatly from information being composed into rhymes, rhythms and melodies; it's absolutely phenomenal for my terrible memory! Thank you for taking the time to scripting your videos the way you do, cuz wow the things you've taught me using this method is wild!
0:31 i'm watching this while at work and got a phone call so i had to pause it and i absolutely lost it when you called me out for pausing. That was INSANE timing. GOATed video btw, i love your content!!!
I love that humpbacks are your favourite… they were my mom’s favourite too. Years ago, before she died, we “adopted” a humpback via a charity org that worked to study & support them. The one we adopted was called Cats Paw, because the markings on her tail looked like a cat had put its paw in white paint & “stamped” the tip. It’s been over 20 years since we adopted that whale… but when I’m reminded of that memory, I always wonder if Cats Paw is still alive somewhere out there. Or if she’s gone I at least hope her kids are thriving, wherever they may be. Now that I think about it… I wonder if I looked hard enough, maybe I could find any info on her on the internet. Since the markings on every humpbacks tail is unique, that’s how scientists track them… maybe she’s still being tracked.
6:57 Making a blanket statement like "orcas are evil" is basically like saying the same about humans. I also don't think they're evil, but I do believe that, like humans, they are complex enough to express traits like kindness and altruism as well as malice or cruelty.
@haikatosdiary I agree that we shouldn't judge orcas by our own standards, and if it sounded like that's what I was doing, it wasn't my intent. I was just expressing that I believe them to be capable of such complex emotions and sentiments, which aren't traits exclusive to humans.
@haikatosdiary Yes but Orcas have shown very high levels of intelligence, and also certain pods exhibit hunting behaviour that has no benefit other than seemingly being a fun way to torture the prey. But that doesn't make them "evil" it just makes them complex creatures who go beyond any binary way of defining a whole species. Same with crows for example. They have fun and have complex social lives and can befriend other species, but can also just bully cats because its funny to bully cats to some of them.
7:21 I mean, if you think about this deep enough, you might say Orcas are quite as smart as Humans! This is just the Orca’s version of “Offering food to a wild Animal to make friends with it”!
@ True! Especially with orcas, just like how we are the Apex Predators of land, they are the Apex Predators of the sea, with somewhat of a society like us!
Gods, give this guy your likes, I need to see him swim with whales. CG's visit to the elephant sanctuary was absolutely brilliant and heartwarming, I want to see him connect to other intelligent animals, and probably get bullied by one of their kids.
It’s been posted for 7 hours and he’s already gotten 56k likes, I think our boy is going swimming!! And with any luck, he’ll be playfully bullied by the world’s biggest baby!! His videos always deliver on the good feels ❤
Marine Biology student here. Orcas will also eat greatwhite sharks for their livers (that are a third of the shark's body length) and are cited to be the reason for multiple shark disappearances and shark tourism decline. One case off San Francisco; 17 GW sharks vanished and one dove to 500m down and then swam to Hawaii cuz that boi was not risking his liver. We don't give the Orca enough respect. MBio nerd, out!
15:42 "I can't swim" It's okay, Cas Geo. I'm black, too. Jokes aside, yes I'm actually black and no I can't swim. I learned when I was a kid and lost that skill in a heartbeat. I hated how water felt on my face.
Chris: "Dad, what's a blowhole for?" Peter: "I'll tell you what it's NOT for; and when I do, you'll understand why I can never return to Sea World." River Dolphin: "Well, actually..."
Mammals: *spend billions of years evolving traits for survival on land* Pakicetus: THERE'S A LINE WHERE THE SKY MEETS THE SEA, IT CAAAAAAAAAALLLLLS MEEEEEEEEEEE...
Hey, I know I'm just one voice among the multitude, but please do more of these where you cover the whole taxonomic group! The format worked really well.
I usually don't have thalassaphobia, but that ALARM SOUND with the smash-cut to the pilot whale??? Legit disrupted my heart rhythm and I have to go lay down now.... Very appreciative of showing the creator of the whale-edit, having their name up while their content was on screen, that feels very 'best practices' of crediting, two thumbs up! And thank you for showing the people who got nommed get spit out immediately after. You're 100% right that that scene in Finding Nemo was formative in a bad way DX
During whaler times orcas were paid with the tongues of whales in exchange for help pulling the rest of the whale carcasses back to port, they would give them a rope and they would bite it and pull on it.
I will never think about Orcas the same after watching Caitlyn Doughty's video on Orca grief. I am fully convinced the empathy we see in elephants is 10x stronger in the ocean.
My favorite Christmas gift was the opportunity to get in the tank with belugas. The water was actually warmer than the ambient air temperature at the time - wet suit helped a lot in keeping comfortable. They are SO FRIENDLY, and one offered its tongue to me to pet it. Ten years later and I wish I hadn’t been too nervous to give her tongue scritches. 10/10 experience, and their melons are super soft
I had the same instinctual feeling as soon as you brought up the false killer whale's picture. Just the picture alone has every one of my fight or flight instincts screaming NO.
It's one thing to be intimidated by a very large animal in the sea in real life but I never imagined that regular people that don't regularly visit the ocean would be afraid of whales
Skitten and Chavez's reactions to the shout out and then the "thanks for unpausing" was instant classic. This channel combined with ZeFrank and LindsayNikole are my favorites for learning new legitimate information.
Like you said, there's something about the idea of making eye contact with another thinking, feeling, peaceful being. Just imagining it for a second is making me tear up. We can say we're searching for intelligent life in the universe but it's right here on Earth. When Humans wipe themselves out, it's going to be Elephants, Whales, Corvids, Octopi, and Apes in a drag race to succeed us, so we should treat them with respect always.
Penguins too they are the second creature to be able to walk and swim like people and I've seen ducks hug each other so maybe they got something going on
There's absolutely no other content creator that gets my call-to-action clicks like Casual Geographic. I love the wholesome snippets of him interacting pets or admiring animals at a rescue center because it really brings another level of passion to these videos. I wasn't into Free Willy as a kid, but ^this^ I am excited for.
Let's get this dude to 250k likes, man. You're passionate about animals. I'm sure that'll be a life changing experience. The ocean scares me too, but seeing or even being able to pet a whale would be cool asf. Casual Geographic doing irl encounters would be sick.
15:52 Ah…the struggles of staying afloat, I can totally relate to that. I can BARELY float, so I probably won’t survive out in the ocean in an emergency.
The Narwhal's tusk is to break breathing holes as they travel through the ice filled north, it sometimes happens that they stay stuck in between holes and inuit people will help them get out, i believe there is a documentary of this some where.
i remember like 15 years ago i was whale watching out in the east coast in canada and a humpback whale approached us, poked its head out of the water and looked at us for a few seconds, then swam under our boat (didn't knock us into the water or anything) and came up the other side. i will never forget how curious and gentle it was, and we were all just frozen in awe. i've been a huge fan of humpbacks ever since
Orcas terrify me - I know that's irrational because a wild one has never killed a human (that we know of), but culture can change - if a group decided to play with humans the way they play with penguins then we'd never be able to a take a small boat into their territory again 😳 - I really think people are way too confident around them
If you go snorkeling, they usually give you a life vest adjusted to your size, so that you float at the surface. I went snorkeling with a friend who was a weak swimmer, and he did fine. We were out there for hours, looking at small sharks. I highly recommend snorkeling, if you decide to do this whale venture
I know you teased yourself a little over updating your info regarding what whales and dolphins and orcas are, but seriously: you're one of my favorite creators. Your videos are consistently fun, funny, informative, and just a joy to watch. I hope they're bringing you as much success as they're bringing me enjoyment.
15:49 A lifejacket helps a lot. I use them and recommend them to everyone regardless of how well they can swim. It’s very convenient to be able to float in water with zero effort.
Belugas letting narwhal in their squad is wholesome
I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned interbreeding, which apparently did happen
Sea squishies to the rescue
Look like metalhead on family reunion
@TruthKeepersOfficialHD2 it's especially surprising when you consider that he did mention it in an earlier video, I can't remember which one but I'm certain that he mentioned it in a previous video.
What about the orca letting a pilot whale join? I wouldn’t think there’d be any reason to leave that one out. 🤨
The orca handing a human the dead stingray gives the same energy as people who try to feed wild animals they come across.
Kinda reminded me of when cats give their owners dead birds
I imagine it like that scene from how to train your dragon
I can imagine it thinking ‘I wonder if it eats food’
It's probably not wondering if you eat food it's probably so smart that it's trying to lure you into a meeting about a timeshare. 😂
@marcuspacheco3815 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A narwhal hanging out with belugas looks like a razor blade hanging out with water balloons.
The introvert being adopted by a group of extrovert be like :
Yeah it is a bit concerning for them
considering narlugas are a thing, and the narwhal on that story was a male its almost a erotic novel plot
@matheusbianquincera3104 YOUR RIGHT DIDNT THINK OF IT THAT WAY🤣
That you get razor blades tied to water balloons
Getting close to 250k, dude.
We’re gonna get him there
Yep let's get him there, I wanna see him chill with a whale 😂
I think Whales look at people in a similar way to how people look at whales: vaguely incomprehensible at times, but real recognizes real
Naw, they don't have Rabbinical Jewish villains corrupting their minds and feeding them disinformation, so they know our species is corrupt and dangerous.
real recognize real🫡
@spindash64 yep whales are in fact real, just like unicorns.
Whalguely
😂😂😂
To be fair, the whale that accidentally om'd and couldn't nom that human was probably just as horrified as the human. Like 'AAAAAH!! WHAT'S IN MY MOUTH, GET IT OUT, GET IT OUT!!!'
the sea equivalent of a bug flying in your mouth lmao
Harder to instill a more instant panic than "there's something in your mouth that you don't want there"
@ToriBelle96 this is so funny pls we're a bee in this guy's soda
@ToriBelle96except it's like if that bug was also the size of a rat
@SandofSharkyea but your mouth is also like three times the size lol
When I went whale watching, we saw a grey whale doing barrel rolls while some dolphins jumped over him and swam under him, I imagine he was making interesting currents for the little guys, because there didn't even seem to be fish around for it to be a hunting thing. They just seemed to be playing/dancing/having fun across species lines.
Aw that's super wholesome. Thank's for sharing it.🥰
I saw blue whales doing that while in Mexico
That's a pretty cool thing to have scene
Part play, part lazy. The currents the bigger whale make with its passage makes it easier for the dolphins to swim. Dolphins do the same with ships.
So it's not just in cartoons that giant whales are used as public transportation
0:45
That was the sight and sound of a man begging for his life, knowing he could only call to God cause a Hippo ain't listening. And I was terrified for him. Nobody deserves to be in that position with a Hippo on the other end.
I really hope I didn’t see a man about to die
I looked it up. He lived! He runs off right after, the hippo was apparently fine with just yelling at him.
He was (is?) a zookeeper at Changsha Ecological Zoo who was apparently trying to break up a fight between two territorial male hippos. Thankfully, he made it out of there alive and unmauled.

"tasteful meme lexicon" was not a phrase i thought i needed to learn but goddamn im glad i did XD
"thanks for unpausing" had me dying
I don't get it
Motherfucker sure got me!
Lol i went back and paused 😆
@airplanes_aren.t_realthe ass 😂
@airplanes_aren.t_realsome people would pause it at that exact moment cuz they were surprised
I don't know why, but the knowledge that somewhere in the world there's just a massive filter feeder vibing brings me a sense of warmth and calm
The idea of something so big it's barely recognisable as an organism, that's nonetheless caring and curious, has a real deific vibe, I agree. Like what if the mountains were altruistic and occasionally helped the people and animals that lived on it?
@NedInYaHeadOh yeah, caring giant. Love that vibe.
Bro might actually swim with whales tho
I really appreciated that 90s- early 2000s compilation of different whales with the jazzy music. Felt like it came out of those dvds you ordered over the phone after you saw a commercial for it on the TV, a la ‘Lots and Lots of Jets and Planes’

Same, I loved that too.
yeah that was pure kino
The song is F L Y by spectrum if anyone wonders
@misshimejoshi you the real mvp
What’s crazy to me is that whales are so long-lived, that we found individuals with harpoons still stuck in them well after commercial whaling stopped being a thing.

japan has entered the chat.
still is a thing but i think they know the difference between humans swiming and whaling ships they prob see the ships as big organisms while lone humans as something else
I wish this were true. Unfortunately whales are still being harpooned :(
Maybe not forgave, but maybe like us, they can recognize that not every individual is representative of the species
I wonder if part of it may be that they’re so intelligent they are able to realize some humans are dangerous but most are not. Like how we feel about certain animals, like hippos or sharks or even something as complex as how we realize, “chimps are mostly safe to be around, but they can do a lot of damage as a teenager.” Like they can distinguish somehow between the rare humans hunting them, and humans just being curious.

Uhhhh,,, what? 🤨
@DannyDeVito_is81 Belugas be chill like that
@plutonix5792 don’t worry friend I know exactly what you mean. ❤️ belugas are really cool
I actually had friends like that, they were like brothers to me😊
That's so very specific and spot on. 😂
"Offensive self-defense" - the art of seeking problems all in the name of 'self defense'
"The best defense is a good offense aka the Honey Badger Strategy" had me dying lol best quote of the year
I read a theory is that that's why hippos are so egregiously murderous; they evolved from a much smaller creature which needed that kind of strat to stay safe, but when the hippo got big it never lost that gangsta mindset.
0:10 Every time I see a false killer whale it's disturbing, cause what the hell is that supposed to be?
its face gives off "im just trying to exist" vibes but they have no idea whats going on
These blood-filled eyes are so unsettling
its like someone tried to draw a killer whale from memory
Given how large the teeth are for their size it probably means they're going after bigger prey than their body size would suggest.
And indeed, they might be called "false" but just like the real thing they'll press whales larger than themselves.
Is it because he’s black. 2025 truly is a regressive year
“There’s something about those eyes my spirit doesn’t vibe with.” That is the most accurate depiction to describe feeling disturbed by a look. You are a wordsmith sir!

@trappestarrgaming3422 moles aren't dangerous at all. Just the thought of something coming towards you in a blindspot and you have no idea is absolutely terrifying. I played through subnautica just because I like a good scare but typical horror games just don't do it for me. When I played that though, the instant I jumped in the water, I just turned the game off and didn't pick it back up for a week. Even creative mode invincibility doesn't make it less stressful
@truegreen7595 huh, I never really looked into it so I didn't know that. Thanks for the info
The "thanks for unpausing" freaked my two brothers and I out! I paused to see if we could figure out the difference between a whale and a porpoise. We didn't come to a conclusion and un-paused. You said that and tripped us out for sure!
dude the editing for the lil “whales of the world” segment was SO GOOD!! i loved it
11:39 my dad used to work at an aquarium that held fundraisers to try to save these little guys, I’ve had a soft spot for em ever since
I will never forget that whales and dolphins come from the same family as hippos.
Hippos and Dolphins are already dissed, now it's whales....
The wholesomeness of whales got me ugly crying, thanks for sharing.
You're not alone, brother.
Not even 5 seconds into this video and I'm already terrified
Luckily he got spit out pinnicho style moments later
same, but just to let you know in case he doesn't say that guy was totally fine. whale tasted dude in his mouth and spat him right back out, but if he's anything like me he'll need some serious therapy, but then again if he's anything like me he wouldn't be in the ocean in the first place
now to unterrify you.
even if that whale wanted to eat him, he couldn't. throat is too small for a human to pass down it. That guy lived after the whale spat him back out after realizing it.
@TyeJakVTuntrue , if it really wanted to eat or harm him, not only is it more than capable but it would not be unprecedented , all it would have to do is hold him for longer or smash him to paste with its limbs and then strain the paste through its baleen , they also eat small fish , baleen whales that is .. they eat them by the school load, and are more than capable of processing and digesting huge quantities of flesh .
Nah, they're all friend-shaped.
233k We. Are. Almost. There.
That "sea-bra" was too smooth. This man plays on words like a kid at recess. The absolute BARS he drops never ceases to amaze me
Pilot Whales: *Exists*
Orcas: Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
Humpback whale: "Fighting not allowed."
Reddit is down the hall to the left
All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, both are quadrilateral shapes. Like how all dolphins are whales, but not all whales are dolphins, both are cetaceans.
That's right. It goes in the square hole
Makes sense.
nice metaphor,
Math. It's what's for dinner.
Like all squares and rectangles are shapes, all dolphins and whales are mammals.
Resharing here in December 2025 to keep this 250k like going!
7:24 guess Orca grandmas are the same as human ones. They think you're too skinny and want to feed you.
I mean, from an orca's perspective a human IS too skinny. LOL!
Funny enough they are actually one of the few species known to have grandmas. I think its humans, orcas and elephants only where females will regularly live long enough to experience menopause.
She was like "yo little water mammal bro, why you skinny af? Have some stingray would ya"
That’s true, even the most high calorie humans would appear anorexic to an orca
The timing and delivery of "thanks for unpausing btw" was absolutely perfect. Had me choking on my coffee
Fun fact: humpback whale calls can travel thousands of miles in the right conditions and some people believe they use their calls to map their environments
(I first read this in the book An Immense World)
It’s the fact that it’s just 31k away from you meeting a whale
"Fun fact: I'm left handed so I'm not always right, when I'm wrong I'm wrong... and boy was I wrong.."
BARS!!!!!!
The way I understand it, Orcas are capable of the same amount of danger as well as kindness that humans are. You can’t predict Orcas just like how you can’t predict every single human.

And they are a lot like the family they grew up in. Some packs don't eat mammals at all. Some will collaborate with other species in hunting while others will defend their turf mafia style.
Orcas likely have the same thing as giraffes: they are multiple species that just look so similar that humans haven't bothered to test them.
@millionpulses???
@millionpulses Or it is more like human "races" where they are all the same species but different cultures. I personally think that is more likely.
@MirrimBlackfox exactly
9:32 that prowler meme bro it fits so much.
Sperm Whale: orcas fear me
Humpback Whale: they fear me more!
???: amateurs...
Humpback Whale: what was that, punk?!
Pilot Whale: AMATEURS!
Cookiecutter Shark: Orcas absolutely hate me!
i think the pilot whale orca relationship is more of a rivalry than anything else, you know france and england, and france and germany
@PingvinAnd1 Ah yes. That rivalry between France and England. Where they spent literally 100 years at each others' throats. Or France and Germany, the border of which was the site of one of the bloodiest fronts of two separate World Wars. Just rivalries.
Narwal: "Im scared. A lot."
@PingvinAnd1or Spain and France. Or Japan and France. Or France and other bits of France.
thank you for running the montage again at the end, that was too well constructed to only see once
"Same traits and no relation means convergent evolution" I'm the type of learner who benefits greatly from information being composed into rhymes, rhythms and melodies; it's absolutely phenomenal for my terrible memory! Thank you for taking the time to scripting your videos the way you do, cuz wow the things you've taught me using this method is wild!
233k man...
SCUBA is a lot of fun!
You're gonna love it.
0:31 i'm watching this while at work and got a phone call so i had to pause it and i absolutely lost it when you called me out for pausing. That was INSANE timing. GOATed video btw, i love your content!!!
bro something similar lit just happened
Lmao… same work stuff that was why!!
Nah you ain't gotta lie about it fam, we know you didn't pause it for work.
@fluffernutter6633 He paused to "work"
@fluffernutter6633he paused for plot
7:03 Seabras might be the funniest, most understated thing you've said. I love it.
Definitely spelled “sea-bruh” the way he said it, and that makes it another layer of funny
The wholesomeness of the lonely narwhal being adopted by the beluga gang is EVERYTHING to me :')
20 thousand more likes until he actually gotta donit
I love that humpbacks are your favourite… they were my mom’s favourite too. Years ago, before she died, we “adopted” a humpback via a charity org that worked to study & support them. The one we adopted was called Cats Paw, because the markings on her tail looked like a cat had put its paw in white paint & “stamped” the tip.
It’s been over 20 years since we adopted that whale… but when I’m reminded of that memory, I always wonder if Cats Paw is still alive somewhere out there. Or if she’s gone I at least hope her kids are thriving, wherever they may be. Now that I think about it… I wonder if I looked hard enough, maybe I could find any info on her on the internet. Since the markings on every humpbacks tail is unique, that’s how scientists track them… maybe she’s still being tracked.
I hope you find her❤
She's quite famous, there are articles about her as recent as 2022, so she's probably doing fine.
The quick search i did shows her last sighting in '21
6:57 Making a blanket statement like "orcas are evil" is basically like saying the same about humans. I also don't think they're evil, but I do believe that, like humans, they are complex enough to express traits like kindness and altruism as well as malice or cruelty.
I think that we shouldnt judgde an animal by human behaviour or society
@haikatosdiary I agree that we shouldn't judge orcas by our own standards, and if it sounded like that's what I was doing, it wasn't my intent. I was just expressing that I believe them to be capable of such complex emotions and sentiments, which aren't traits exclusive to humans.
@TP-op9bb Nonono, I never understood that. I was js adding to your comment!
@haikatosdiary Yes but Orcas have shown very high levels of intelligence, and also certain pods exhibit hunting behaviour that has no benefit other than seemingly being a fun way to torture the prey. But that doesn't make them "evil" it just makes them complex creatures who go beyond any binary way of defining a whole species.
Same with crows for example. They have fun and have complex social lives and can befriend other species, but can also just bully cats because its funny to bully cats to some of them.
@haikatosdiary Ohh okay, that's good to know. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't being misunderstood lol
7:21 I mean, if you think about this deep enough, you might say Orcas are quite as smart as Humans! This is just the Orca’s version of “Offering food to a wild Animal to make friends with it”!
I like to think they are humans without hands. Or perhaps humans are Orcas with hands.
@ True! Especially with orcas, just like how we are the Apex Predators of land, they are the Apex Predators of the sea, with somewhat of a society like us!
I wanna be friends. Are you friends?
@j-town4408 Sure! If you buy me a bag of Chips!
More like feeding the pigeons, more likely.😉
12:40 Okay but the hollow Knight sound in the background is more distracting than it should 😭
I swear i thought i was crazy
@seabreeze4485i thought noone would noticee, have you played silksongg???
Gods, give this guy your likes, I need to see him swim with whales. CG's visit to the elephant sanctuary was absolutely brilliant and heartwarming, I want to see him connect to other intelligent animals, and probably get bullied by one of their kids.
THIS
It’s been posted for 7 hours and he’s already gotten 56k likes, I think our boy is going swimming!! And with any luck, he’ll be playfully bullied by the world’s biggest baby!! His videos always deliver on the good feels ❤
My guy give ME your likes I wanna hug whales!!!
@shelbylynn9 295k now.
Wonder if he he regrets that promise 🤔
Marine Biology student here.
Orcas will also eat greatwhite sharks for their livers (that are a third of the shark's body length) and are cited to be the reason for multiple shark disappearances and shark tourism decline. One case off San Francisco; 17 GW sharks vanished and one dove to 500m down and then swam to Hawaii cuz that boi was not risking his liver. We don't give the Orca enough respect. MBio nerd, out!
No Fava beans?
Do the orcas consider the livers to be "sea foie gras?"
Why exactly is that a reason to give orcas more respect?
@andyfriederichsen they don't need praise. Orcas do what their instincts tell them. Which is why they actively attack great whites.
@DevilOnlyKnitsLaceI heard it is the most nutrient dense part of the shark
“They got that two-factor authentication” 🤣🤣
1:32 My man is spitting BARS
That unpausing joke hit the nail on the head 😂
What's the joke I don't get it?
@TornAaPaRt A we bit of skin in a particular area of the human body was showing in the preview clip.
@MBearAssd In the stock footage he showed there was a woman swimming and you could see her from behind, if that makes sense.
@SnubneyI assumed it was pausing to look at the skeleton 🤦🏻
Come on now, I'm gay and I got it.
15:42 "I can't swim"
It's okay, Cas Geo. I'm black, too.
Jokes aside, yes I'm actually black and no I can't swim. I learned when I was a kid and lost that skill in a heartbeat. I hated how water felt on my face.
I can but maybe because the light on my hands and mitigate the blackness
Chris: "Dad, what's a blowhole for?"
Peter: "I'll tell you what it's NOT for; and when I do, you'll understand why I can never return to Sea World."

I mean.. technically.. giving head is giving head 🤣
I would love to see you swimming with the biggest mammal known to man, it would be amazing! 🤩
Mammals: *spend billions of years evolving traits for survival on land*
Pakicetus: THERE'S A LINE WHERE THE SKY MEETS THE SEA, IT CAAAAAAAAAALLLLLS MEEEEEEEEEEE...
lmaooo 😂
The fact that they can swim so deep also has to do with the fact they are warmblooded. The deep sea is like 2-4 degrees Celsius man.
@guusvangerrevink2484uh there is fish down there
4:06 The wordplay has me amazed, mindboggled and somewhat smarter than I'd assume on a regular basis.
15:57
One mammal that also connects with eye contact, horses
Better strart taking swimming lessons, 🐡🦭🐟the 250 k mark is getting visible from here🐙🐳🐋🐬🐢
Hey, I know I'm just one voice among the multitude, but please do more of these where you cover the whole taxonomic group! The format worked really well.
I usually don't have thalassaphobia, but that ALARM SOUND with the smash-cut to the pilot whale??? Legit disrupted my heart rhythm and I have to go lay down now....
Very appreciative of showing the creator of the whale-edit, having their name up while their content was on screen, that feels very 'best practices' of crediting, two thumbs up!
And thank you for showing the people who got nommed get spit out immediately after. You're 100% right that that scene in Finding Nemo was formative in a bad way DX
During whaler times orcas were paid with the tongues of whales in exchange for help pulling the rest of the whale carcasses back to port, they would give them a rope and they would bite it and pull on it.
I never thought I'd learn that Humpback whales are petty asf.
I will never think about Orcas the same after watching Caitlyn Doughty's video on Orca grief. I am fully convinced the empathy we see in elephants is 10x stronger in the ocean.
I saw that video - her videos are always really good, and that one was special
The mama orca carrying her babies broke my heart. Their intelligence really came with empathy as a BOGO deal.
I haven't been able to bring myself to watch that one yet and I'm not sure i ever will even tho I love her content
Yeah. I can believe it.
My favorite Christmas gift was the opportunity to get in the tank with belugas. The water was actually warmer than the ambient air temperature at the time - wet suit helped a lot in keeping comfortable.
They are SO FRIENDLY, and one offered its tongue to me to pet it. Ten years later and I wish I hadn’t been too nervous to give her tongue scritches.
10/10 experience, and their melons are super soft
U touched the beluga ?
Damn
When was it
@vary1143 it was I think 2012? It’s something that SeaWorld offers during the off seasons
I had the same instinctual feeling as soon as you brought up the false killer whale's picture. Just the picture alone has every one of my fight or flight instincts screaming NO.
They look like small versions of Monstro from Pinocchio 🐳
@HurricaneDDragon That's exactly what was going through my head for that entire segment.
It's one thing to be intimidated by a very large animal in the sea in real life but I never imagined that regular people that don't regularly visit the ocean would be afraid of whales
12:40 this word plays fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those bars at “at this point it’s law that should be in the constitution, same traits mean convergent evolution” were 🔥 that Eminem would be proud of
Casual Geographic is Darwinian Eminem... 🤔
Skitten and Chavez's reactions to the shout out and then the "thanks for unpausing" was instant classic.
This channel combined with ZeFrank and LindsayNikole are my favorites for learning new legitimate information.
Their reaction video made me die. I was cackling so hard.
I cannot accurately express to you the extent to which I want to go hug a humpback whale right now
Like you said, there's something about the idea of making eye contact with another thinking, feeling, peaceful being. Just imagining it for a second is making me tear up. We can say we're searching for intelligent life in the universe but it's right here on Earth. When Humans wipe themselves out, it's going to be Elephants, Whales, Corvids, Octopi, and Apes in a drag race to succeed us, so we should treat them with respect always.
Penguins too they are the second creature to be able to walk and swim like people and I've seen ducks hug each other so maybe they got something going on
Narwhals and Belugas are able to create a hybrid, which is interesting because it's not just interspecies, but intergenus as well.
Whales are such amazing creatures. Everything from their size to their great intelligence. It's a shame what people do to them.
1:05 flyyy in the sky flyyy in the wind
9:32 Nah, the Prowler theme got me again! Thank you for educating us on Pilot Whales. I didn’t know they existed until this jumpscare. 😅
7:48 is just the scene from HTTYD when the Hiccup was cutting thr ropes of Toothless
I thought the same thing lol
And there’s also the clip of the orca sharing food with a human, kinda like Toothless did with Hiccup??? 👀
There's absolutely no other content creator that gets my call-to-action clicks like Casual Geographic. I love the wholesome snippets of him interacting pets or admiring animals at a rescue center because it really brings another level of passion to these videos. I wasn't into Free Willy as a kid, but ^this^ I am excited for.
Looks like we ain’t getting him to swim with whales 😭
3:34 so it lives in the "deep dark" and can un-alive you with sound? Did I just find a literal living Minecraft boss? 😂😂😂
13:13 “Sea Squishies” I’m going to call Belugas that for now on 😂
Let's get this dude to 250k likes, man. You're passionate about animals. I'm sure that'll be a life changing experience. The ocean scares me too, but seeing or even being able to pet a whale would be cool asf. Casual Geographic doing irl encounters would be sick.
10 days later we're more than halfway there 🙏
Whaling is such a tragedy :( We do not deserve whales being friendly to us, but they probably know we would wipe them out.
15:52 Ah…the struggles of staying afloat, I can totally relate to that. I can BARELY float, so I probably won’t survive out in the ocean in an emergency.
The Narwhal's tusk is to break breathing holes as they travel through the ice filled north, it sometimes happens that they stay stuck in between holes and inuit people will help them get out, i believe there is a documentary of this some where.
Idk, it's supposed to be the most densely nerve packed part of their body.
whale, whale, whale, what do we have here
2:45 that species of whale genuinely looks like it’s holding TF out of his breath 😭
Sentient squishmellow got me, of everything in the video it was watching that aquatic albino animal shake it's goofy head 🤣
i remember like 15 years ago i was whale watching out in the east coast in canada and a humpback whale approached us, poked its head out of the water and looked at us for a few seconds, then swam under our boat (didn't knock us into the water or anything) and came up the other side. i will never forget how curious and gentle it was, and we were all just frozen in awe. i've been a huge fan of humpbacks ever since
Orcas terrify me - I know that's irrational because a wild one has never killed a human (that we know of), but culture can change - if a group decided to play with humans the way they play with penguins then we'd never be able to a take a small boat into their territory again 😳 - I really think people are way too confident around them
Prowler sfx at 09:40 hit my chest like an anvil
The 2 factor authentication comment was so out of pocket had me like 💀
If you go snorkeling, they usually give you a life vest adjusted to your size, so that you float at the surface.
I went snorkeling with a friend who was a weak swimmer, and he did fine. We were out there for hours, looking at small sharks.
I highly recommend snorkeling, if you decide to do this whale venture
Either ur the "friend who was a weak swimmer" or it never happened
@torresjarred1 tf is wrong with you
@torresjarred1now tell me the truth of my life oh great and powerful wizard
27k to go for a SWIM!!
I know you teased yourself a little over updating your info regarding what whales and dolphins and orcas are, but seriously: you're one of my favorite creators. Your videos are consistently fun, funny, informative, and just a joy to watch. I hope they're bringing you as much success as they're bringing me enjoyment.
How long have u liked the channel
Appreciate you!
15:49 A lifejacket helps a lot. I use them and recommend them to everyone regardless of how well they can swim. It’s very convenient to be able to float in water with zero effort.
