Sharks are barely any more dangerous to humans than Orcas. If they mistake you for prey, otherwise not. If you swim down to a great white for instance it will never hurt you. Only if you flail on the surface while vaguely shaped like a seal.
@@@sevenrats Not really. They will sometimes bite humans to find out what they are. If you get stressed and afraid it will excite them and increase the chance of them confusing you with prey. Stay calm and they are like tame dogs.
@@politicallycorrectredskin796 If sharks kills by mistake or not doesn't change anything to the level of safety. There are also no cases of (wild!) orcas killing humans. It's not even close to "barely", it's a lot more dangerous to swim with sharks.

The original video is so spectacular. She is a beautiful swimmer with beautiful strokes. Seeing the curious orcas come up to her was outstanding and a wonderful thing to see!

@@Aden_III You know what? You are prob correct about that. I live in Norway and have been out at boat with them by random occasion. They are the most amazing animals i know of. I really wish to swim with some one day.

M. Rodrigo Lemus orca is not the only dolphin that can kill whales, and sharks. Most of them can do it . Yet you are heavily mistaken if you believe one single orca could take down a Great white shark friend
Beautiful, orcas do not attack in the wild because they haven’t suffered from psychosis enducing SeaWorld. What a wonderful story and experience for her!!
Apparently they’ve been attacking boats in (i think) Spain.. something/s has obviously happened that was traumatic for the local orcas with boats.. i’d be worried that they’ll attack the humans too for the same reason/grudge. Other than that, yes its unheard of for orcas to attack. They just know we are their cousins and family is everything 😊

WOW...WHAT A BREATH TAKING ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!! WATCHING THE VIDEO MADE MY HEART SWELL, THEN MELT LIKE A POPSICLE. HUGS FROM CANADA🇨🇦❤ 🏊♀️🐬
Those Orca pods around NZ gotta be the friendliest in the world. Dr Ingrid Visser look her up she's based here and is always in the water with them as well. Probably every one of them around the island knows her! What an experience, huh?

All Orca ecotypes have different hunting techniques. Some charge the shoreline. Some carousel herring. Some rush a floating piece of ice. All are gentle giants to humans. In the wild anyway.
Arun People often make the misconception that Orcas and humans have some sort of mystical connection where an Orca would never harm a human due to the fact that there have been no fatal attacks recorded in the wild. This is actually a very dangerous way to perceive Orca. Orcas actually branch off into habitual pods and nomadic pods. The nomadic pods are known for eating large mammals, sharks and seal and they are particularly fond of liver. While the habitual pods are more likely to feed on fish exclusively. The reason why Orca are not known for attacking or eating humans is because they are one of the few species on earth that are taught how to hunt by their families. Their hunting is learned behavior that is passed down generationally. Generally they are not around humans and are not swimming with humans on a regular basis. They also don't have some sort of sonar or special way to detect your internal makeup like sharks do for example, rather they have excellent underwater vision and use their eyes to spot prey in combination with their camouflaged skin that makes harder to spot at night. It isn't that they wouldn't attack a human or won't eat a human, it's that they have not learned to hunt them. It is wise to not think swimming with Orca is a good idea. Life is not a disney movie and these wonderful animals are the apex predators of the entire ocean and should be respected as such. The don't have any magical connection with humans and all it will take is the wrong place at the wrong time in combination with a bunch of curious Orca that want to experiment for a tragic accident to occur.
@@mucsalto8377 , They actually do have sonar and can tell your inner makeup. They can tell if you're male or female, and even if a woman is pregnant. Their brains are incredible . Watch " Blackfish " , it's very interesting and you will mearn a good bit about Orcas. Sharks do not have sonar. To echolocate they need to be able to send a sound out to reflect back off of an object , sharks can't do this.
@@Tugela60 We are just as wild to them as they are to us, in fact we enslave them whenever we feel like it. Learning what they are saying to each other and communicating them is a big deal and something that's currently in the works. They are NOT pets nor are they "wild animals." They are conscious and understand much more about the world than we think they do.
That woman is so blessed to have had that encounter with the Orca's. Never heard of a Orca attacking a human in the wild. Keep me locked up and I'm gonna attack somebody too first chance i get. No great white shark is gonna come near you with an Orca there, probably no shark will come near. LOL
what did the Newscaster say at the end, " Drones have to stay 150 metres away any closer you need a permit" !!. yeah we know but you still used the Once in a lifetime opportunity footage. Footage like this is the reason why I have a drone. the video full video shows how aware orcas are and it knew how delicate humans are in the water. when the Orca got taken in by the wave and spins to the right back towards the swimmer, she is then herself drove slightly towards the Orca by the wave, you see the Orca press his tail into the sand to stop himself from crashing onto the swimmer, amazing footage.
If there were no regulations, dumb tourist would harass orcas as they do with other animals, just to get their 15 minutes of fame on Insta. Remember the guy pulling a small shark out of the water to take a selfie? That kind of people. Last month a women was hurt, swimming with a humpback wale and getting to close as he turned. She is hospitalized now. Regulation was 50 meters distance but she neglected that. Bad ending.
It's a law to protect both humans, and Orcas. If Orcas swim towards you, it's fine. It's recommended that you get out of the water, although many don't. I know I wouldn't. If you see them swimming, you shouldn't get in the water with them. That interrupts their daily routine. It's to help protect the Orca.
Well obviously if they approach you that’s different but this warning is for those who after seeing this may wanna go out try and find wild orcas and approach them when they shouldn’t, there’s been no known attack of orcas on humans but that doesn’t mean we should go approaching them thinking you can just swim and have fun with them like this lady
Wow, closest I’d seen was ocean kayakers with a guide video tape of orca surfacing and turning on its side to look at the kayakers. They are huge and powerful so I’d be shaking! But I can see how she decided to trust them, amazing.
Damn that lady is a straight badass, 99.9% people wouldn’t be down to swim with wild Orcas completely out of the blue like that. She’s not part of some crew that was planning a dive with Orcas. These things just peekaboo surprised her. They must have realized she was special. At that moment you are completely trusting your life that a wild animal could end you in half a second and she thought nobody was there so if it happened in her mind nobody would even know what happened to her. Incredible.
S G W G D, you'd probably find that the mums reply would be "they taste poop and no essential blubber (fat or oils,)" but your jokes funnier, so fair enough. 🙃
Color Sounds The humans living rurally in the tropics, with a high fruit content diet taste particularly delicious, but usually need to be prepared with attention paid to the fact that there isn’t enough fat on them... using coconut oil in preparation helps with that, or just deep fry battered chunks and dip in Malaysian sweet chili sauce and serve with fruits and veggies (like you would buffalo wings with carrots and celery) for a tasty snack....
The orca around the Coromandel Peninsula go for fish, about the size of leg, and are effectively "big dolphins". CUrious, but not interested in humans.
This type of footage goes international. Unfortunately, there are idiots out there who could do harm to Orca. New Zealand Orca in particular are already endangered. So, they're highly protected. Laws can suck sometimes. But, they help protect Orca.
she was swimming in the ocean and the majestic creatures kept approaching her 💞 She didn’t freak out, she didn’t try to touch them, she just kept swimming... just keep swimming,just keep swimming, I couldn’t help it 😊 This was a once in a lifetime experience, exactly they way many would love to encounter these beautiful predators in their natural environment being inquisitive... The news didn’t see the beauty in the moment
In the original drone video, you could see her swim a bit faster like she was in a bit of a panic, but then you could see her slow down and enjoy the orca attention! Awesome! I am glad we heard from her about this! It was an amazing experience to see - thanks to the people who had the drone!
Awesome experience...a bit scary at first I am sure. Open water swimming can be so rewarding. I swim in lakes in the Pacific Northwest (surface water is often a black mirror) and once in a while a bald eagle will fly by me. Not as cool as Judy's but still priceless to catch these moments of respect towards nature. BTW Judy's a pretty good swimmer from what i could see of a strokes.
The news always twists the truth. If you with the original uncut version. The guy was filming the Orcas, then saw the swimmer. He did not go run and grab his drone and start filming when he saw the orcas go near the swimmer.

The reason why Orca are not known for attacking or eating humans is because they are one of the few species on earth that are taught how to hunt by their families. Their hunting is learned behavior that is passed down generationally.
Generally they are not around humans and are not swimming with humans on a regular basis. They also don't have some sort of sonar or special way to detect your internal makeup like sharks do for example, rather they have excellent underwater vision and use their eyes to spot prey in combination with their camouflaged skin that makes harder to spot at night. It isn't that they wouldn't attack a human or won't eat a human, it's that they have not learned to hunt them. It is wise to not think swimming with Orca is a good idea. Life is not a disney movie and these wonderful animals are the apex predators of the entire ocean and should be respected as such. The don't have any magical connection with humans and all it will take is the wrong place at the wrong time in combination with a bunch of curious Orca that want to experiment for a tragic accident to occur.
Those orcas pimp slap seals till it’s skin falls off
@@mucsalto8377 , They actually do have sonar and can tell your inner makeup. They can tell if you're male or female, and even if a woman is pregnant. Their brains are incredible . Watch " Blackfish " , it's very interesting and you will mearn a good bit about Orcas.
Sharks do not have sonar. To echolocate they need to be able to send a sound out to reflect back off of an object , sharks can't do this.
Orcas in the wild have never harmed a human. They are very intelligent,and were enjoying swimming with her. I envy her the experience. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Orcas are wild animals. And like all wild animals they are dangerous. Leave them alone, they are NOT tame pets.
Bitch that's a whole new sentence. Nobody said anything about them being pets 😂
@@Tugela60 We are just as wild to them as they are to us, in fact we enslave them whenever we feel like it.
Learning what they are saying to each other and communicating them is a big deal and something that's currently in the works. They are NOT pets nor are they "wild animals." They are conscious and understand much more about the world than we think they do.
Absolutely love this. What an awesome experience. The lady wasn't phased one bit
That woman is so blessed to have had that encounter with the Orca's. Never heard of a Orca attacking a human in the wild. Keep me locked up and I'm gonna attack somebody too first chance i get. No great white shark is gonna come near you with an Orca there, probably no shark will come near. LOL
Well, sharks are usually solitary hunters, so they would want to have a go at the calves but the mother would make them "run" for sure.

"They are just big dolphins with a fancy paint job" hahahaha
"dolphin with a paint job." i love the scientists sense of humor !
"..they're just BIG dolphins with a fancy paint job." Love this description..♥.
And yet they eat dolphins...
I'm glad Judy got to experience that. :)
Gets out of water
Googles “has anyone been eaten by an orca?”
Gets back in water
She might be the bravest person on the planet. Love her spirit.
How?
Love the footage and interview, also New Zealand is so beautiful.
A very good and strong swimmer she is.
1:32 hell of an interview that one
**Films nature**
Government: do you have a permit for that?
*Flies a drone right into endangered animals, hurting them in the process*
Government: Stop that!
It's a safety issue. A drone that falls on someone's head can kill them.
Zeann Dub yea,I hate that government thinks they can outlaw anything they want to. Get a permit? 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
🤣🤣🤣
We are not even remotely free. Only the very wealthy
what did the Newscaster say at the end, " Drones have to stay 150 metres away any closer you need a permit" !!. yeah we know but you still used the Once in a lifetime opportunity footage. Footage like this is the reason why I have a drone. the video full video shows how aware orcas are and it knew how delicate humans are in the water. when the Orca got taken in by the wave and spins to the right back towards the swimmer, she is then herself drove slightly towards the Orca by the wave, you see the Orca press his tail into the sand to stop himself from crashing onto the swimmer, amazing footage.
If there were no regulations, dumb tourist would harass orcas as they do with other animals, just to get their 15 minutes of fame on Insta. Remember the guy pulling a small shark out of the water to take a selfie? That kind of people. Last month a women was hurt, swimming with a humpback wale and getting to close as he turned. She is hospitalized now. Regulation was 50 meters distance but she neglected that. Bad ending.
swimmers should not approach orcas? but it was the orcas who apoeach the swimmer!!
She left the water once they arrived. Then she returned to the water.
who's fkin to forbid you interacting with other creatures... fuck that
It's a law to protect both humans, and Orcas. If Orcas swim towards you, it's fine. It's recommended that you get out of the water, although many don't. I know I wouldn't. If you see them swimming, you shouldn't get in the water with them. That interrupts their daily routine. It's to help protect the Orca.
Very wisely said.
Well obviously if they approach you that’s different but this warning is for those who after seeing this may wanna go out try and find wild orcas and approach them when they shouldn’t, there’s been no known attack of orcas on humans but that doesn’t mean we should go approaching them thinking you can just swim and have fun with them like this lady
I do hope the guy with the drone gave her a copy so she can re-experience this whenever she wants! How wonderful!
Wow, closest I’d seen was ocean kayakers with a guide video tape of orca surfacing and turning on its side to look at the kayakers. They are huge and powerful so I’d be shaking! But I can see how she decided to trust them, amazing.
Look up Dr Ingrid Visser. She's in these waters with these guys all the time.
Damn that lady is a straight badass, 99.9% people wouldn’t be down to swim with wild Orcas completely out of the blue like that.
She’s not part of some crew that was planning a dive with Orcas.
These things just peekaboo surprised her.
They must have realized she was special.
At that moment you are completely trusting your life that a wild animal could end you in half a second and she thought nobody was there so if it happened in her mind nobody would even know what happened to her.
Incredible.
Orca baby: Mom can we eat it? Mom Orca: They taste good but you have to peel it first. Baby Orca: Ah mom, that is to much work.
S G W G D, you'd probably find that the mums reply would be "they taste poop and no essential blubber (fat or oils,)" but your jokes funnier, so fair enough. 🙃
I bet humans taste like crap
Color Sounds
The humans living rurally in the tropics, with a high fruit content diet taste particularly delicious, but usually need to be prepared with attention paid to the fact that there isn’t enough fat on them... using coconut oil in preparation helps with that, or just deep fry battered chunks and dip in Malaysian sweet chili sauce and serve with fruits and veggies (like you would buffalo wings with carrots and celery) for a tasty snack....
No son, the skinny monkys taste bad, just smell their feet instead
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ okay Jeffrey Dahmer much?! 🤣🤣
"Wait a minute: They eat seals, and I am wearing a dark suit !!" 😂
Hahaha. That's the biggest misconception people have. They don't know different Orca ecotypes have particular prey they hunt.
@Smack must have missed my "Hahaha".
They're too smart. They can recognize dark skin seal from swimmer wearing a dark wet suit...
The orca around the Coromandel Peninsula go for fish, about the size of leg, and are effectively "big dolphins". CUrious, but not interested in humans.
Orca are smarter than that hehe but yeah a big thing eating a smaller thing is usually the order of things hahah
Once in a lifetime experience. Would love to meet a school of these deeply intelligent and emotional creatures.
Had to throw in the rules at the end there lol.
This type of footage goes international. Unfortunately, there are idiots out there who could do harm to Orca. New Zealand Orca in particular are already endangered. So, they're highly protected. Laws can suck sometimes. But, they help protect Orca.
@Michael Moretti that's true. I agree with you.
@Michael Moretti because ppl are idiots
@@slickspidey yeah like the asshole you replied to for example
A day in the life Its just the NZ msm twits no one takes any notice of them.
🙌🏽
Thanx for posting. Love from Canada🇨🇦!
That was just amazing... wish I have Judie's cool and courage 🤗
Best swimming mates to have if worried about sharks.
And people say getting old sucks!!. This was probably the most magical experience of this woman's life, and it happened in her seniorhood!
Damn bro, getting older sucks though frfr no 🧢
Incredible video, amazing and breath taking, thank you.
How, how amazing, I would have loved to have had that experience. She just won the lottery. Beautiful.
Judee you are so brave you just showed the world something amazing and the people that videoed it god bless u guys this was truely amazing. 💕
Big dolphins with a fancy paint job🤣🤣
Orcas: "That seal is sick kids, way too thin...not good for eating and too slow for training you to hunt."
These orcas dont hunt seals. New Zealand killer whales hunt sharks and sting rays.
“They’re just big dolphins
with a fancy paint job”‼️ 🤣
2 min interview for such an amazing experience, COME ON I want to hear this lady talk for a day about this, still thanks for the interview ! : p
They seemed to treat her as one of them. Beautiful ❤
Beautiful birds eye view, thx for sharing!;)
she was swimming in the ocean and the majestic creatures kept approaching her 💞 She didn’t freak out, she didn’t try to touch them, she just kept swimming... just keep swimming,just keep swimming, I couldn’t help it 😊 This was a once in a lifetime experience, exactly they way many would love to encounter these beautiful predators in their natural environment being inquisitive... The news didn’t see the beauty in the moment
She could have reached out and touched them they would not have minded that one bit.But what an amazing experience, huh?
SHE'LL REMEMBER THAT ENCOUNTER FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. 👍
In the original drone video, you could see her swim a bit faster like she was in a bit of a panic, but then you could see her slow down and enjoy the orca attention! Awesome! I am glad we heard from her about this! It was an amazing experience to see - thanks to the people who had the drone!
Yea she probably panicked momentarily
Incredible, the big orca can sense shes harmless and not menu material they are soooo clever
"I'm actually quite jealous"
Same here, lady. :)
She is very lucky, what an awesome experience!
Yeah I would say that is way better than winning the lottery! How amazing! What a lucky lady
If you run into an Orca for whatever reason do not panic. These steroid dolphins don’t mean you any harm
This whole video was pure comedy on several levels. Miraculous event though
When the Orca's see humans emitting air bubbles, they know we're family.
This lady is my hero!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Safest swimmer in the ocean.
Orca: "I go where I please, no permit required. 😁"
This "older" woman is healthier and faster swimming than most 20 year olds!! Evan keeping up with wild orca hats off to this woman!!!!!!!!!
Awesome experience...a bit scary at first I am sure. Open water swimming can be so rewarding.
I swim in lakes in the Pacific Northwest (surface water is often a black mirror) and once in a while a bald eagle will fly by me. Not as cool as Judy's but still priceless to catch these moments of respect towards nature.
BTW Judy's a pretty good swimmer from what i could see of a strokes.
Yes it takes alot Id imagine to remain calm
i love that description, dolphins with a fancy paint job. what an amazing experience.
Scientist: They're just big dolphins with a fancy paint job!
Orcas: am not! 🐬
The news always twists the truth. If you with the original uncut version. The guy was filming the Orcas, then saw the swimmer. He did not go run and grab his drone and start filming when he saw the orcas go near the swimmer.
I love how at the end the news anchor was there to lay down the rules again..
Thomas De Pauw the most pathetic, is that most viewing this video have ZERO problem with that. They love the government telling you what you can’t do.
@@chrisz0619 I know man, it's sad..

@@mucsalto8377 You're right, idiots ruin it for the rest of us.
Respect for that guy who rushed to get his drone. Great move! Great footage!
They felt bad that her friends didn’t show up so they kept her company!
That’s was nice of the news to share those important reminders at the end … thank you 😊
And of course the nanny state and it's media enforcers just had to jump in there at the end, Judge Dread would approve.
TempH TempG they can’t let you see this and have aspirations of freedom. They must remind you that you’re nothing more than a slave.
what a BS - if there were no regulations, dumb tourist would harass orcas as they do with other animals. Remember the guy pulling a shark out of the water to take a selfie? That kind of people.

Technically she was right; it WAS a dolphin. Y'know, because orca's are the largest members of the dolphin family
