      There are different types or orcas that live in the oceans. If all orcas shared the same food, they would die out. So therefore you have southern and northern resident orcas off Washington and Canada that eat salmon, squid. You have resident orcas off New Zealand that eat sting rays. Then you have your consumers of the oceans, the transient orcas that eat marine animals, whales tongue and jaw,, shark liver, penguins, seals, dolphins. All the orcas in captivity are resident orcas, that eat only fish. Transient orcas would die a few days. These orcas in this video here, eat stingrays

  • @mrnickbig1
    @mrnickbig1 5 лет назад +1261

    Right from the beginning, the orca closely approached and exposed its belly. This was the orca gesture that meant it was friendly. The bubbles meant it wanted to play. Orcas keep trying to communicate with people, who they consider as intelligent, and roughly equals, but most people seem unable to even grasp the basics. Watch other orca videos, even with pods simply interacting with each other, and you should be able to easily pick up these gestures. If different pods meet, the approaching pod will first send a representative, who approaches the alpha of the other pod, and will make a close pass showing its underside. Then, once the introductions are made, the pods will mingle.

      Mr. nickbig1 You are absolutely right and I am so glad you commented. While watching this video, I felt myself getting frustrated at certain parts because as soon as the whale exposed his belly I was so hoping that the guy would reach out and acknowledge the whale. Maybe a belly rub or a wave?? Also when the guy grabs the rope from the boat and accelerates his speed, the whale did too in a playful manor. I just wish more people could read the body language of animals. This could have been on a whole nother level but it's still an awesome video! 👌🐋🐋🐋

      @@amynicole7150 , I never understood why so many people are oblivious to animal communication. First off, in general, healthy wild animals will avoid conflict, usually through activities that I call "forest etiquette". One such activity is to deliberately make noise, to announce your presence when entering other animals' territory, to avoid surprise and unnecessary conflict. Animals that sneak usually are showing they are weak, or they are hunting. Both activities invite attack. Wild animals often flee humans because we seem irrational to them, rather than simply neighbors, or part of nature. "Primitive" people, who live with wildlife, understood this.

Just after the last boat left a small pod of Orcas came from INSIDE the harbour passing in front of me no further or farther than 30' from the end of the breakwater. Where they had been hiding, I don't know, maybe looking around down by the Customs dock or the restaurant at the beach end.We all got a laugh at that and the encounter cost us nothing.No fishing now with all the closures.Cheers from View Royal.

    The orca immediately flipped over and exposed its belly, which is an intraspecies sign of peace. The bubbles were blown after the man started kicking, which means that it was likely an attempt to get the man's attention and get him to calm down. It almost seems like the whale realized it came off as threatening and wanted to communicate that it was only curious.

    • @CleverClover2023
      @CleverClover2023 3 года назад +1

      Bubble blowing is normally a way to say 'go away'. Bottlenose dolphins use it as a way to threaten intruders or as a warning. The whale was curious, but cautious as well. Exposing ones belly is NOT a sign of 'peace'. With most animals its a submissive gesture. Orcas normally show their belly to prey (which dont include humans). Showing their belly to a pod member or a human could have a variety of meaning....its not known for sure.
