There one guy who studies them it was accident, apparently an orca Was chasing a seal and ended up on beaching itself and practiced until got it down then taught its pod. But I don’t think an orca does anything by accident
I think the ocean is one the greatest example how something can be so beautiful and yet so horrifying. The orca is one of the greatest examples. This species is so visually beautiful and stunning. It is intelligent, capable of solving problems using its environment and abilities. And it is capable of curious discoveries and playfulness. And yet at the same time, this beast is such an incredible harbinger of death. Capable of incredible damage, speed and precision. They earn their name for a reason. They are quite magnificent for both these reasons. There is a beauty in their terror. When you combine respect with fear, you get awe, which is the perfect emotion to describe this wonderful Apex.
Absolutely magical animals killer whales are! They really do show their true spirt and beauty when they live freely in the ocean and not in a small uncomfortable tank in captivity their whole life, truly wonderful sea mammals! ❤
I would so rather watch videos of them out in the wild than in a tank doing flips. Just like elephants and lions and tigers, I'd never want to see them in a circus.I'd rather just watch safari videos
The brain of an orca weighs 6.8 kg, second only to the sperm whale in the ocean. The orca's brain complexity is impressive. Its Gyrification Index (GI) is 5.7, compared to 2.2 in humans, making it the most complex and wrinkled cerebral cortex in the world! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I Love Orca! Thank You Very Much, BBC, for this amazing video!❤❤❤
@@EpiGeneticLifeSciences I'd imagine the main reason they're not designing spaceships or writing anything is because they have no opposable thumbs... and ah, are underwater. A little difficult to advance anywhere past a primitive lifestyle when you're limited by the medium in which you live
Orcas and the rest of their whale/dolphin family are some of the most intelligent, sacred beings to ever live on our planet. They are people. It is up to us humans to ensure they are treated with the highest kindness, compassion and respect.
I couldn't possibly agree with you more. Thank you for sharing this observation. They're incredible animals. I used to see them on the ferry crossing from Seattle to either Bainbridge or Bremerton - such an awesome sight.

Actually orcas and fishermen used to work together during the whaling period. They would find the pod of whales, then come into the bay and bang their tails to alert the fishermen. The fishermen would catch the whales then leave the whales in the water for a day. The orcas would eat what they wanted and the carcass would be lifted out and processed. They stopped when corporate interests insisted that the whale carcass was not left in the water. As a result the orcas never came back. We used to work in tandem in a simbiotic relationship. It's a shame really.
I'm always astonished at how little RUclips channels like this one appreciate the hard work of scientists. Scientists work for months to get footage of orcas hunting whales and YT channels like this one then make their work meaningless by cutting out the most exciting moments. The end of this video impressively proves that !
I can understand the orcas just leaving after the lesson was over with. I'm sure as intelligent as they seem to be they are fully aware of the fact that that stellar sea lion WILL be food for some other animal.....maybe even one of their prey. So in essence they could have the knowledge that they are feeding possibly some of their prey and ensuring that they will have a meal for later by doing this. I can see orca's being cognizant of this.
The orca were teaching the young ones. I knew that the minute you said they hadn't killed the pups. The young and small Orca has been attacking and killing the pupS. If they ate them, classes would be threatened because one of their hungry members would try to end lessons and chow down! There would always be a battle about ending lessons, who gets this meal, etc. These are brilliant. animals who have survived for countless millennia. Somewhere they learned to eat 1st, then be done eating and set about teaching the children. They were not hungry. They were teaching their babies how to survive. Little orca, little sea lion pups. Bigger mal sea lion, teach the not yet fully grown juniors a lesson. The pods are females, families...sisters, aunts, mothers. They know and understand the deadly seas, they are always knowledgeable about the importance of teaching little ones. The woman in New Zealand that the drone watched swim with the mom and her 2 young ones--a baby and a junior--showed her teaching the baby what a human woman was. Not a deadly lesson--in fact she tried to nudge the woman to get out of the water--we don't know if shark were nearby. The pod was just outside the bay/beach. But she swam around her showing the baby the human swimmer. A kayaker had a similar visit from 2 orca, going down and rising vertically to watch him, learn about him. A diver had orca check him out as well. Just a learning experience for them. They have separated hunting for prey from their casual time when they learn--they have a lot of curiosity. When they hunt, they turn off curiosity and switch on lethal predator mode. It nis awesome.
If I were a Sea Lion , I'd be ordering my fish online for delivery. Once the Orcas decide that they want to eat you , it's pretty much a wrap. I love the Orcas , but I feel bad for the sea lions , dolphins, and whales that they prey on. It hurts my heart.
Bonjour, j'ai été témoin d'une séance d'apprentissage de dauphins avec des jeunes. Ils ont remonté un denti (dentex) depuis le fond sans le manger, sa vessie natatoire était toute gonflée donc il restait en surface sans bouger. C'était un beau spécimen (10 à 12kg). Et deux adultes se sont approchés de lui avec entre eux un jeune dauphin. Visiblement, les adultes apprenaient au jeune à prendre le poisson par la tête et pas par le ventre ou la queue. Après environ 45mn à 1h ils sont partis et n'ont pas mangé le poisson. La leçon était finie. C'est moi qui ai récupéré le poisson, lui ai coupé la tête et la queue et l'ai mis au four avec patates, tomates et oignons...😅 On c'est régalé en repensant à cette matinée de cours de dauphins...
Death is the most mystical and mysterious aspect of human life. Many people are interested in what happens after death, but it is the unknown that makes people afraid of it. This fear sometimes leads to the fact that people do not live a full life, limiting themselves in their abilities.
Was the hypothesis, that the orcas wanted to use the sea lions as bait for fish to eat it and then snack up the fish, considered and/or tested? Maybe one sea lion was just accidentally washed ashore.
If orcas eat fish (herring) then they are resident orcas and they do not pose a threat to the humpbacks or fins because they eat fish exclusively. Not all orcas consume other marine mammals.
Oh man, I hope reincarnation is real and I'll find myself to be an orca one day. Even with all the hazards and discomfort it is the most awesome life imaginable to be an orca in the wild. Swimming the world oceans with your family, free to go wherever, discover the depths of the earth. Wow.
The zoom lens has really enhanced wildlife photography, and also made it tiresome and bad with too close up shots. I got very bored with this right away because of the bad photography.
I gave this docu with wonderful pictures a negative response ! And this is , because one thing I missed here and one thing must be absolutely clear : an orca must eat and this is certainly not a love-act and certainly this is cruel , but that is one side of the nature of this planet EARTH ! Obviously some people here did not understand , that without any doubts the most cruel "animal" on EARTH is the human being : PLEASE !;- everybody from this docu should visit at least once one of the slaughterhouses ,where our and their daily meals are "prepared "!!!!!!!
Absolutely! Humans are the apex predators: we kill for sport, we capture for entertainment and we kill the planet with our garbage and pollution. A hundred years ago we nearly drove to extinction whales, seals, sharks and only through a minor miracle have these species survived, but in Labrador, where THOUSANDS of whales use to migrate, they are no more. Moby Dick had the right idea!

What an amazing footage, orcas are so beautiful!
the orca who invented the beaching strategy must have either been very desperate or very bored, either way that must have been one hell of a character
I'm voting on very bored 😂

It really hits home how enormous the orcas are when you see their body next to a seal. And they’re moving so fast!
Their size is comparable to a bus or tank.
Agreed , it's not like seals are tiny either. An adult male Orca is basically about the size of a yellow school bus. They're amazing.
The big males look like mini submarines speeding towards the shoreline.
...and most of the seals hunted by intentional stranding are newborns.
And they are not even seals. They are sea lions. Assuming we’re talking about the first part.
Orcas are the OG of the oceans. Gotta love them.
Thank sso much for this amazing video! The animal kingdom is so fascinating, and BBC Earth presented it beautifully!

Seems like Orca or Killer whales look more like a a porpoise or at least a dolphin!🐬
What gives!
I wonder if any fisherman slip in to these waters🤔🤔🤔
Dolphins do it.
The seals watch their herd get snatched by orcas but not many of them care to move away. Not very clever, are they?
as the bye catch is a unavoidable loss of sea life. so is the orca taking from the catch🤭
