    What stunning footage! I grew up on Vancouver island and have watched the orcas my whole life. It was always amazing. But our water is not clear like that so we can only see them when they are above the water. I would love to see them in person there. They all have a huge piece of my heart. Such beautiful and intelligent animals.

    The water is so clear and the orcas are gliding so smoothly, it almost feels like they're flying.

    Can you imagine. You live there and one or a few are friends and just play with them on the coast. A dream that never will come true. The more I learn of them, the more I trust them. Freedom is what makes them happy as every other wild animal.

    • @damskocapitol9976
      @damskocapitol9976 6 лет назад +1

      Ardent Fan: I don't say that they cannot harm you. But by learning them from a distance and later on it may be more peacefull. I agree that wild animals still can be dangerous. Orca is one that never have eaten a human in the wild.
