Dude said the orca is PROBABLY stronger than a great white after showing an orca obliterating a great white. You think?
Yeah - that was a pretty lame comment. That video alone debunks any doubt about which animal is the superior predator and ruler of all!!!
Ikr its so funny 😂 when they call in experts and they just state the obvious, and sometimes even off like this one. Makes you think if you can show up tomorrow as an expert and see if it works lol.
That pissed me off too. And he's a Prof. of Marine biology 😂
And worse, they attribute the hunting of the shark by the Orca to “Climate Change”.
That chap offered so much insight ,I now know 1.) Orcas are very smart 2.) Very powerful 3.) in some cases even more powerful than a great white - the world needs more Phd's!
Imagine walking down the street thinking you are the man and then suddenly you get tackled by a granny
That shark wasn't even grown.
A 4 ton granny running 35 miles per hour.
🤣😂
Because orcas are the grannies of the ocean right 🤦♂️
Sophia is 60.
This video is all the evidence needed to prove orcas don’t belong in captivity.
Amen to that.
Absolutely 💯
No one belongs in captivity. We all deserve freedom. To live free.
TO HELL WITH SEAWORLD!
@@Seroxm13 So does the Palestinians
Imagine being a shark and suddenly you get the jaws theme
Jaws theme action lol. Respect granny in these waters lol 😂
Human cheering on the orca😂... get him... Shark tried to eat me but I have connections... say hello to the shark police... The Orcas of Justice ⚖️ 😂
😂😂
The way the shark only noticed at the last second was crazy. The whale was just too fast. Truly incredible.
It was a juvenile that's why 🥴
Poor Bruce, he never knew his father…
@brentmorrison3392just when I thought I'd finally found a news post that couldn't possibly be made political....
Yea, it’s almost like one of those new AI generated videos…
@@nuvamusic it does look very weird. or it may not be the first blow and shark was kind of broken.
Geez I just watched a 60 year old grandma absolutely torpedo a huge shark. I’m terrified and impressed.
They do say that older women have a few tricks up their sleeve.
It was about 9-12 feet - a juvenile.
@vickisummer74 It stated in the video that the orca was a 60 year old grandmother. The orca in question is obviously known to the researcher's who made the video, hence why they recognised her as being a 60 year old grandmother. She may have been tagged or identified through the researcher's archives.
I suggest that you personally contact them if you think otherwise. They might be interested in your claim. Heck, if you're correct, you could even be offered a position as a marine biologist with your wealth of marine knowledge. 😉
@@seansparks2803think he was talking about the shark not the orca😅
@heisenberg2198 Considering that he didn't actually mention that in his post, you can understand why I needed to comment.
But you obviously know him better than I do, so I'll take note of your comments and therefore assume that it was the shark rather than the orca he was commenting on.
Did I hear she was 60 years old? That athleticism for anything 60 y/o is INCREDIBLE.
I would draft her on my nfl fantasy league
well I mean she is in the wild and it's everyone for them selfs thair so she needs to know how to hold her own laddys take notes off of Sophia lol
she's been doing aerobic since she was eighteen
There’s a reason, old people take water ballet LOL
Now imagine how terrifying a full pod of Orcas can be.
Killer whales are truly the apex predator in the ocean
@@thefishhobbyist5478What's true?
@@thefishhobbyist5478so who is then? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@thefishhobbyist5478You know nothing about orcas then
There isn't anything in the waters beating an orca that is not extinct orca whales are just too powerful
Sigh.... the reason he says its not orcas is because unfortunately (or maybe fortunately it all depends on one's peespective) the apex predator is ...humans... even before industrialization humans have been killing orcas for thousands of years.
That orca had some incredible speed when it hit the shark. Amazing video
Yes, I thought pretty much the same. The orca likely made the sprint to hit the shark straight from the side, in order to maximize the impact and chance of success.
The Orca took that shark down hard.
I was surprised of the speed too. Wow, are they ever powerful.
It's because humans are constantly taking so much from the oceans that they now have changed their behaviour
The shark didn't see it coming until the moment before impact. The whale is aware of the sharks field of vision, and took it by surprise. Then it ate its liver, which, I have heard, is up to a third of its total weight, the most nutritious part.
(The whale must have got quite a smack in the face, hitting at that speed, presumably with its mouth open. I expect it probably lost some teeth doing so.)
I suppose white sharks prey on juvenile orcas.
This grandma packs some punch. It hit that shark like a locomotive.
Imagine being that shark and turning around just to see a glimpse of a giant torpedo grandma 1 split second away from tearing you apart
😂😂😂😂😂
That charging speed was terrifying!
It really was lol
It was like raming speed!!
It's not something you would typically see at Seaworld.
@@Romulan2469 i hope we see these ramping attack in sea world 😅
Basically a truck travelling at 100km hitting the side of a van
that speed 🤦🏻♀️ I wasn't ready
…was it going fast while it traveled that distance?
....with teeth. You forgot that part
@@user-io9ie5cs8j I don't think teeth are used in the ramming part. They use their superior mass to struck at speed ...and most animals are basically knocked out after a couple of tons or more strike like this. Then they finish the prey, either by biting (with a pressure up to 19000 PSI) or by downing it.
@@miks564 Yes, well, we're all entitled to our fantasies. But I don't want Orca knocking their teeth out. Especially for utube shorts
The JAWS movie would've been 2 minutes long if there was an Orca in the beginning.
That's the name of the boat.
Actually no! If sharks was truly and I mean truly jaws size orcas wouldn't even dare but sense great especially females normally grow no longer than 18 or 20 feet, this is why orcas will always remain supreme, cause they can get up to 30 or 35 feet
@@ryanbell3917 A pod of orcas wouldn't definitely be able to bring down a jaws sized shark.
I love it. I can't describe the sole connection that I feel with orcas. They are majestic, so incredibly intelligent, family oriented, playful and fierce. How anybody cannot be in awe of orcas is beyond me.
That's one strong, tough grandma.
Free Willy be like, not in my zone 👍
Imagine getting hit by an Orca at that speed, the shark stood no chance
The impact alone right to the gills probably would have done the trick without the bite
It was a juvenile small shark
@@lloydchristmas1086They still go after the full grown ones and still come out on top
@@lloydchristmas1086wouldn't have made a difference if it was an adult. Stood no chance at all
@@nerro5569Fully call me wrong, but that shark didn't look like an adult one at all. Maybe I don't know my sharks, but that was a young one, beyond that, an orca(they travel in packs smartly) would decimate these sharks"for fun too" don't forget that
"Scientists believe that it's the first time a single Orca was recorded killing one of the Oceans most feared predators." Seriously? They never heard of the Schramm incident from Oct. 10, 1997?
That's what I thought too, and the guy is the video said Orcas and great whites are similar size. Large prey Orca are the biggest of Orca and are several times the mass of an average great while. It's not even a fair fight. It's just a fish to these Orca.
Orcas a truly the apex predator of the seas. They have superior intellect, enormous size, brute strength, intense speed, and incredible precision and agility. This older Orca has had enough years of experience to know that it could take on a Great White on its own. And even though Orcas usually remain in packs, clearly this one annihilated the heck out of this Great White without the need of a pack.
True!!
The orca was like a torpedo.
some might say it was a well Orcastrated attack
😂😂😂
Lol!!💐 Here are your flowers, sir.
That attack was Killer
Whale* orcastrated
lol! nice !
Great white shark: chilling.
Orca: i ate his liver with a good chianti
😂
You never seen a great white shark do a double take before 😆
That Orca was absurdly fast. The shark never had a chance.
Hell yeah. The quickness from aerial view looked cgi. Like woah!
The shark swam away, watch 035-038
It was like a football tackel, just full on.
I couldn’t imagine being hunted by a orca. Your pretty much done
orcas are faster than every shark species except mako shark
That moment you realize that you're no longer the apex predator...
In fairness, humans were never meant to live on or in the ocean, we didn't evolve that way. We are land animals and on land, we are the apex predators because of our intelligence.
Go to the Artic Circle and call yourself an Apex Predator when a Polar bear is actively hunting you@cryptidian3530

Just shocking the speed in water and the sheer size and agility of it. stunning
Pacific NorthWest native here. Yeah, orcas are rather like moose... WAY deadlier than you think they are.
This is why Quint named his boat "The Orca" in Jaws.
Good call!
i dunno... sounds like a bit of a reach trying to bridge that gap...
@@SIX6SIXerYeah. Im struggling to see the connection here.
@@SIX6SIXer Not sure if you are being sarcastic but since there are actually people who don't see the connection or have never seen the film... my reply is instantly justified.
He (Quint) is a shark hunter... the only animal in the Ocean that actively HUNTS sharks is a Orca... all other animals are opportunistic (Size, Circumstances etc)... an Orca does not care about circumstances and will go out of their way to hunt them.
The "Orca" (One of my favourite films), but you are right, it's the exact reason.
I know people are surprised that she's a grandma, but the leader of the pod is always a mother/grandmother. They are matriarchal animal and most of hunting skills are passed on by mother-calf.
She might be old, but she's probably the most experienced member of the pod.
Do you think Captain Obvious? Are you sure her grandchild isn't the most experienced?
@@michaelkukich3527 okay there. Take a chill pill kiddo
Well your comment was for 5 year olds, thanks captain obvious@@Ramoreira86
GILF TBH
Same with elephants and bison
And Orca protect humans too
Deserves the ultimate respect and protection!!!
Grew up in the northwest and saw orcas regularly. At an early age I knew I was seeing something very special and quickly found love and respect for them. They were so fast, gliding by with silent speed. We did see their prey occasionally flying through the air with a powerful tail swat. No doubt, they're in charge. I've also fished Guadalupe Island as an adult, seeing many giant great whites there. The great whites are massive, toothy critters that humans have no chance against. They have no chance against the orcas...
The fact that the orca charging didnt make a single ripple in the water before the point of impact is CRAZY
That indicates that the orca was coming from fairly deep in the water, stalking the shark slowly and then rose silently till she was close enough and then surged the last 50 or 60 feet for a nice juicy sushi liver dinner.
Maybe orcas feel like they're taking revenge for that same hunting technique that their warm blooded cousins, the seals fall prey to.
@@mutteringmale I had also read that the orca only removed and ate the liver, letting the rest of the carcass sink ... *BRUTALITY*
Bro, seals are one of orca's favorite food as well lol
@@Rupix15 Bro, you and I are humans, but given hunger vs starvation, I'm sure you would be tasty in the stewpot or like a Haitian BBQ
@@Eclectic_City Shark has to be soaked in vinegar and/or milk to get rid of taste of urine and strong fish taste. I'm sure orcas would rather eat fresh salmon, or seal.
But, saying that, once you soak shark it tastes and looks like scallops.
Killer in 1st name is not for joke its for warning
They have never attacked a person in the wild. But they do get dangerous when you take them out of their habitat and put them in captivity. They are not even whales.They are the Largest species of the Dolphin family.
Apparently great is for joke 😅
Killer Whale is a poor translation. Portuguese sailors called them “whale killers” but in that language the adjective the adjective (killer) precedes the noun (whale). Because indeed they hunt, kill and eat whales. Plus, they are not whales, they are porpoises.
@@CorePathway to be precise, Orcas are generally whales, even dolphins are. it depends how far down you go in families and sub-families.
there is Whale > tooth whale > dolphins = part of tooth whales, where for example sperm whales are another. there are also different species of the families after. means there are different species of dolphins and same goes for sperm whales (there is not THE sperm whale)
Yeah, but the "whale" part is, since it's a dolphin after all.
The most terrifying thing about it is that the Orca is actually a pretty freaking intelligent animal.
Which is one of the reasons scientists think they don't attack humans in the wild, rather than simply seeing us as food like sharks do Orcas either see us as a friend (like the rest of the dolphin family do), or they believe we are complex enough to fight back if attacked.
@@krashdThey only don't do that because they're not hungry and/or desparate.
@@putridfetidini5468 They know that we are different than other animals.

Amazing how a mammal can swim that fast underwater like a freakin torpedo.
Imagine the power of that tail to propel a 6 ton whale that fast
Tru dat.
Orca KNOW the rutter of the boat controls the direction and took it out. They the orcas knows humans take alot of their food the fish from the ocean. They don't like that!!
why is that amazing its leterally what they were created to do. they did not evolve. CREATED!!!!!
@@Patriot326 dam who created animals? I got some real complaints.
Like why tf did he also create ticks, parasites, cancer, and STIs?
“If you can see it, you’re not the target”
True for military aircraft and killer whales
I have seen videos where dolphins just randomly attack a Great White shark just swimming minding his business. White sharks are probably the most chill species in the Ocean.
What got me was the actual speed of the orca. I never thought they could move that fast.
I bet that huge tail helps.
They can even create waves to splash off sitting seals on ice sheets
Yeah and they keep them in swimming pools at Seaworld
Orca can move very fast. Their speed can be up to 40 mph or more. Orca are very fast in the water and can easily keep up with an average speed boat at 30 mph.
Dude I was born in Miami and have watched Poor Lolita build that speed in her small performing tank at the Miami Seaquarium. She would just swim underwater real fast and come out and leap in the air. They don't need much space to get up to that speed....
imagine getting smacked dead by a grandma. it will forever become a meme and a cautionary for all other sharks.
Na!
They know orca better that we do?
Calm down, that shark was way smaller so never had a chance anyway
@@knossostellel-amarna8502wouldnt matter what size it was

ARE YOU SERIOUS ? SEA FOOD IS VERY FAST !
You never seen an orca swim so fast that it can jump out of the water and clear a kid standing in the way? 🤔
A lot of sea creatures are extremely fast in the ocean. Tuna, orcas, swordfish.
Ever see a video of tuna going nearly full blast? It's actually damn scary. Especially them being so large.
@@blazed85lmao. Good point
Also notice that the Orca was well aware of the body position of the shark, attacking from an angle where the shark has no chance of reaction in any way.
That speed of attack is shocking😮
that Orca broke the sound barrier *under water*
And thats 4x faster than through air. So yeah, really fast.

bro the power of that 60 year old ORCA is absolutely stunning!! Had to watch that charge at least 10 times thru
Imagine a 20 year old Orca male doing it.
@@bassage13It would probably have been less impressive than what this grandma Orca did, Orca society is matriarchal and the leader of every pod is a mother/grandmother and they’re the ones who teach the rest all of their skills, so even though a young male Orca may be more physically strong it lacks the technically and expertise that the grandma Orca has.
So yeah my bets are on granny lol
So you are expert now @@ATMEIDAREYAIDOUBLEDAREYA
The acceleration before impact was amazing by that orca
Yeah, so much for thinking that if I see one I'll just swim as fast as I can to safety usually no more than 20 to 30 feet away

Orcas are one of the most underrated marine species there is.
I've never heard anyone argue that a shark is stronger than an orca. I think most people see them as the most terrifying animal on earth
I think that people fear more sharks than orcas. I think that it is more along the line that instinctively we fear sharks. We think of them as mindless killing machines and monsters. I think that we don't really fear killer whales or dolphins even though they can be very dangerous.

Imagine swimming in the ocean and seeing something that big coming at you at that speed. You wouldn't even have the time to think. Truly terrifying stuff.
Orcas don't harm humans in the wild.
My favorite thing about Orcas is how they truly seem self-aware of the fact that they are the most badass killing machine in the ocean. So they're generally very cool calm and collected because they instinctively know, no one can mess with them.
I noticed this too about orcas. I cant really say what i base my opinion on, but they do seem to be aware of how strong they are. Maybe its the way they act around humans and small prey. Nevertheless, its very impressive and very unique. I cant think of a predator that seems to be this self-aware in that sense. It also makes them also cooler too

Underrated comment
I like the way you think.
Epic pun!
Well played!
It's not the first time actually, this behavior was noted by and photographed by researcher Peter Pyles in the 1980's at the Farallon Islands off California. An Orca mother was teaching a calf how to take down the shark, than removing the sharks liver and consuming it.
If you google about it you see "First time" every year
Definitely true! There's still old footage of that around RUclips as well!
Or of Jacques Cousteau off the PNG coast where Orca swam from the deep blue depths to deliver to him while scuba diving two giant hammer heads. After seeing that display, where they were 4 times the weight, maybe even 8 times the sharks weight! How can we even begin to think that Great Whites stand a chance?
Jesus, it's spine-chilling how something so big can accelerate so fast...
I'm not sure where this probably comes from. 28 feet and 6 ton vs 20 feet and 2 1/4 ton (on the highest of high end). It is Garbage Truck vs Pickup truck.
“In some cases probably even more powerful than a white shark.”
Umm… when is it not more powerful than a white shark? They’re 3-4 times the mass of a white shark and can move just as fast.
Yeah right? I mean he also a marine biologist?? What the dude yappin!?
Orcas in similar size to Great White are stronger and faster, not to mention way more intelligent too.
And a stronger bite force.
the "expert" was an impostor
It was poor wording. A not fully grown Orca could be smaller than a very large shark and thus reverse the roles. But clearly, adult vs adult sees all the advantages on the Orca side.
@@Ganiscol Ummm....a not fully grown orca, can still be larger than the largest white shark. The orca is just a larger animal overall. Even juvenile orcas can overpower fully grown white sharks.
Orcas are at the top of the ocean food chain for a reason. They are at the very top of the apex predator mountain. Intelligent, creative, fast and strong.
They are not the top of the food chain. Pilot Whales hunt and sometimes eat orcas.
Indeed , Great whites only look scarier .
But if it comes down to it , and something happens to drive extinction , the shark has a better chance in that department .
But for now , orcas remain too oceanic apex predator
I'd say a sperm whale is pretty much also at the top of that food chain.
@@raylopez99I was going to say the same thing.
Wolves of the sea.
The way that whale made the shark look like a bait fish was crazy
At first I thought the video was sped up …
Never knew how fast whales were, now THATS startlingly crazy.
The speed and ferocity is incredible
