On May 23rd, 2012 Sully the pilot whale took his last breath in SeaWorld San Diego’s Animal Care facility, three years after he was found emaciated on a Curacao beach. His life was short, at an estimated age of 4 years he was still a juvenile.
@@Bobspineable Yes I know but why were you able to learn him trick's instead of hunting again and searching his family!! Commeon don't give me that industry crap!! SW wanted something new and what a coinsidence pilotwhales were there.What about the other 3???
I came to the comment section to say it definitely isn't fortunate to be sent to Sea World only to of course see this comment. Why am I not surprised? Oh wait, because it's Sea World.
@@Bobspineable did you miss the part where Sully was nursed back to health and deemed healthy enough to be released into the wild but he just didn't want to for whatever reason? He wasn't taken care of by Sea World when he was sick - that was a different organization. Sea World got him when he was nice and healthy but Sea World is renowned for how awful they are to ther animals (walruses in warm water, separating baby dolphins from mothers and getting them killed by strangers, one word: orcas, et cetera). It wouldn't exactly be a shock if Sully was yet another victim of theirs. I get the rescue organization couldn't take care of him but damn does it suck that Sea World got hold of him instead of a proper, responsible aquarium or something, that's all. He may very well still be alive today if so, albeit maybe not since maybe he just had health problems or something.
When I heard that he would be transferred to a bigger facility that could keep him I was happy and thought he would go to the Georgia aquarium. Then I heard Sea World and my heart sunk
Unfortunately,not many facilities can handle pilot whales,and SeaWorld SanDiego happened to be one of the facilities that could actually take care of them.
Thank you to all the people who helped Sully! Obviously, I'm sorry that things didn't end well based on the comments section, esp. after the humans gave him so much care.
There are two things that have to be made clear. 1) Sully died of degenerative hepatopathy, not sun exposure. 2) People obviously ignore any part of the video or description or other sources saying that he REFUSED TO RETURN TO THE WILD!
Thank you for listing his cause of death. I knew it couldn't have been sunburn because they could have used zinc oxide to prevent sunburn. Yes, some people don't pay attention to the fact that if he can't hear he can't eat. The orca, Morgan in Tenerife had the same problem. She stranded because she was emaciated because she couldn't hear, therefore she couldn't eat. Because of the controversy they are now opting for the euthanasia off stranded whales. There have been several whales been euthanized already because of the cost and logistics of rehabilitation.
I am so glad they actually found out what was happening and helped him. imagine not being able to eat because you cant hear, have no one and starving to death. He saw we were helping and knew we could. i loved this episode. amazing story.

Why do people anyways have to throw their religious crap in every sentence. There's a thousand other ways you could have made your statement but instead you use "god bless". Not everyone follows your religion. Neither do a lot of people's kids so why do they have to be subjected to your religious belief. I don't write mine down because I'm not pushing and I don't assume that everyone wants to hear it. You certainly wouldn't want your kids to hear my beliefs so stop forcing your region on other people and keep it between you and your friends. RUclips is not the place for you to be telling people to "God Bless". It's disgusting when a person can't have a simple conversation without bringing up God or Jesus. It's very cult like behavior and you are wrong for assuming other people wouldn't be offended by your comments.
@@IQCStudios both can be true at the same time. Sea World is notorious with how bad they are with their animals and not just their orcas either. Obviously he couldn't be released into the wild properly but it does suck there wasn't a better permanent rescue center that could take him. Sea World's infamous neglect could have made his health problems worse after all (key word: could. I'm not saying he was definitely neglected or abused. Sea World is just a red flag).
Oh my goodness, I didn't even know their was such a thing as a Pilot Whale. An what a wonderful way to be introduced, to such a beautiful creature. That was a wonderful video, such a gorgeous boy. I'm so happy he is now safe and so well cared for, what an absolute wonderful video.
@@sth.777 Sully died at Sea World and they never gave an explanation of his cause of death in 2012. He was not able to be trained because of his hearing issues so it's funny to me that he suddenly died. You can see the difference in his skin from Curacao to Sea World, he had way to much sun exposure which might have been the cause of his death, we'll never know as Sea World won't say what happened.
@@marilynalvarez9951 You can see on the video how much the staff at SW cared for Sully, and I'm certain they did everything they could for him, and mourned his loss; the fact is, animals die. They don't owe anyone an explanation.
The relationship between humans and whale in this video is just so fascinating. Just speaks so much that no matter who you are, no matter what you are, love DOES really manifest itself in many different ways. This literally gave me goosebumps.
It's so wonderful to see how humans can love and care for the animals in the ocean. Jonathan you know that I've always appreciate and love your videos, it's unfortunate to learn that he died. Great job by Sea World in caring for all those animals. God bless all of you and keep up the great work.
Wow, never knew whales got their fluids from the animals they eat. Thought they had some sort of process of extracting water through a filter system. Amazing how much you can learn even when a 30 years old man
Wow . What an excellent piece of short documentary about Pilot Whale . People who see Dolphins , Orcas , Whales etc. perform at the Aquarium for the crowd feel bad for the aquatic animals because they think the animal is trapped and needs freedom . Although some part of it is true , but many don't know that some aquatic animals like the Pilot Whale - Sully cannot go back to the wild because they can't use echolocation to hunt for their food . This makes them dependent on someone to feed them for the entire life . Mr. Jonathan Bird , I have learnt so many things about the Blue World from you and I really thank you for documenting the life of Sully for us .
Dat Boi No they did not care good enough for him. Because when sully was still were he stranded they used a special suncream to cover his skin however sealive did not do this and also provided no suncover
And they said that animals are dumb. Sully played the system and won! He has his own place, he no longer has to hunt for his food, he has waiters and waitresses to feed him and he has 3 women to rub him down everyday. Sully is living it up.
I’m telling you this right now guys, sea world is no fun place to keep whales in small pond. You know, have you watched that documentary film called, “Black fin?”
Know what, credit where it's due: Sea world took him in and cared for him. Now we watch Black Fish and hate SeaWorld. I'm not against dolphins performing, but let them because they want to not because they have too. Put the animals first. Id personally just be happy seeing these animals, they don't need to perform for me. Glad to see that SeaWorld does do SOME good atleast
@@kristianxoto Not necessarily it really depends but in this case certainly. I'd guess that a big factor here is that dolphins don't. make a kill collectively to share but rather hunt their own prey which they eat immediatly. They might employ team strategies but if you can't catch your food you are out of luck.
The animals love to do behaviors, my family member was a trainer at sea world and as soon as fans would fill the seats the Orcas and dolphins would be waiting at the gates eager to perform and do behaviors it’s also enriching for them. As you can tell all of these dolphins orcas in pilot whales are fat and healthy. They can’t be forced to do anything, I have gone to shows at sea world where they tell the people sorry the whales want to take a day off today and then there’s other days where they can’t wait to get out and perform so, I think it would be more cruel and they were just floating around in a tank doing nothing
reall? the didnt kill him he died. 'SCCN had consulted with SeaWorld San Diego veterinarian Dr. Tom Reidarson about Sully’s care, so it was probably a forgone conclusion that Sully would wind up there if the release attempts failed because SeaWorld was actively engaged in trying to get a male pilot whale at that time. '' -> its bad that he died for sw
@@ericlunger1010 Sully did not die of sunburn, but of degenerative hepatopathy, essentially his liver had waaay to much fat deposits and caused it to shut down. Nothing to do with sunburn, at all.
There is nothing wrong with animals being shown off to the public. They are getting their exercise in and being physically and mentally stimulated. For us it’s shows are entertaining. For the animals it’s an enjoyable experience in which they are stimulated each and everyday.
@@migglej.r.7667 There is everything wrong with it if that is the animals entire life.... The animals agree; given how many become aggressive in captivity. There is value in the interaction and they are initially stimulated but it is not a proper environment there will inevitably be problems. In the right situation it can work; like with ambassador animals where they are occasionally shown off and then go back to a more natural environment; but that is still dependent on temperament and willingness to travel. No animal should live its entire life in such a small relative container; waiting to be shown off every day.
@@DuskLegend they’re not tricks they’re behaviors. And it’s keep them mentality stimulated cole one now think. These animals breach and swim fast and do all kinds of behaviors in the wild. It’s also their exercise for us it’s fun but for them it’s stimulating and fun I guess as well
Guys. He may have been waiting for his seasonal pod to come near again. Or until he heard rumor of them on his daily outings offshore! The pod they brought him to most likely was not his family/pod! I think it would have been better for him to let him stay at least a couple years before sending him to Seaworld. Aquariums are beautiful and fine most of the time but I recently saw a "show" on youtube taken from seaworld and the conditions were really bad! I think it was the one in California and I do not know the conditions at the other. But as he was obviously happy where he was if its not broken why try to fix it? He may have been sounding for his pod while going on his daily swim offshore. He may be lost and not know where his pod is. He may simply like the new conditions far more than being alone in the great semi- desert of the open ocean. I think he lost his pod and he then was unable to gain food so easy and became depressed and didn't care to eat without his family/pod. You should have let him stay longer. He no doubt loved the company of another kind and intelligent species. To whales we can be somewhat like gods to them. Then there they are blessing him with unlimited fish. I think they should've let him stay until there was a good reason not to. Plus whales are so intelligent I mean his emotional love towards these people may have become like a new family a new pod to him in which case to send him away would be cruel. For all we know his pod was killed or broken up by storm or evil people etc... Seriously if they had opened up a paypal account online and explained Sully's unique situation you would've gained more than enough money to keep him fed and happy! No! It was California that took him! Not good at all. So he is semi-deaf. Well that explains alot. But I still do not agree with sending him to San Diego. They should've kept him at the original spot started an online donation account to feed him and kept taking him offshore daily.
With all the billions being spent to fight climate change, surely we can find a few millions to support animal sanctuaries around the world for cases like Sully. Sending him to Seaworld's circus wasn't the right answer.
Exactly! Although these people were very compassionate. They went about it completely wrong. I understand hand feeding him for the first few times until he gained some strength back. They really should have released live fish around for him to catch on his own. There was too much human contact and they most definitely should not have taught him to follow boats. He could have gotten his exercises from hunting and chasing his fish. They tamed him, and got him too used to food comi g to him. Of cours he wouldnt go back out in the wild. That being said, in his particular case, with his loss of hearing. It is understandable that he was unable regardless. However, they didnt know that until way later amd still shouldnt have done it the way they did to begin with. As a wildlife rehabilitator, these things are in the tests you take to get your licensing to be able to care for and reintroduce wildlife back into the wild.
@@kathryncastanares525 They did what they could and releasing him back to the wild would have been a death sentence. There’s no need to criticize in this case.
@@kathryncastanares525 umm, they tried releasing him and even looked for a pod for him but Sully himself refused to go back to the wild. I guess you can't really speak for the animals since they also have their own thoughts and feelings about certain things.
A pilot whale can hear up to ONE HUNDRED KILOHERTZ?!?!?! For the sake of simplifying what that means, the highest frequency humans can hear is just shy of TWENTY kilohertz. In the 60's and 70's I couldn't deal with going to department stores like Sears, Hecht Co., etc. Their security systems used a super-high frequency....... like a dog whistle in scream mode. Also VERY interesting is the fact they can dehydrate...... never occurred to me they can't and don't "drink" the water. Great show here...... love the entire whale/porpoise sector of fauna :) Seeing so much handling with bare hands, I recall at Xcaret, Mexico we'd bought a few minutes with a bottlenose dolphin...... of COURSE we're compelled to touch them, but the woman in charge snapped "do NOT TOUCH him!!!!!". Oh..... maybe I need to upgrade my $20 ticket?
Even though intentions were good, I fail to see how removing him from good fresh ocean water of his original home, to a chlorinated small pool was good for him, compared to his original access to open ocean. And if Sea world was willing to shell out for 60 lbs of fish a day, how come they couldn't give that to him in Curaçao? The excuse was made that the original folks couldn't afford to keep feeding him, yet thousands had to be spent flying him to Sea World. Something seems... fishy here.
Not really, if you watch the episode carefully, all that is explained. They did not have the facilities to take care of him in Curacao. The pool at Sea World is not chlorinated...the animals can't be in chlorinated water. Sea World was willing to take him and try to help him. I don't see why everyone wants to make Sea World the bad guy in this. This whale had an inability to catch food because his ears didn't work right and they hunt with echolocation. He was starving to death. He would have died within a few days if he had not been rescued. Once they knew he couldn't ever catch food because of his hearing, they knew he could never be released. And he did not want to be released. He followed the boat home every time. So they could either put him down or try to find a place that would feed him forever. It cost hundreds of dollars a day just to feed him, never mind all the other care. Now we can certainly say that Sea World did something wrong in terms of sun protection, which is really sad because it led to a skin infection. But at least they tried to save him.
My daughter wants to tell you that our dog is named Sullivan. His nickname is Sully. Sullivan and Sully have a lot in common. Sullivan likes to gather up his toys too.
How wonderful that Sully was saved, but how unfortunate he had to go to Sea World and died. If they'd stop ALL animal shows and just focus on animal rescue and rehab they'd get a lot more respect.
They couldn't find him any better place than SEA-WORLD!!! after all what they have done, its just mesmerising. Jonathan, you have a great channel but this one isn't the best video you've got here.
Elenor Collins SeaWorld is One of the BEST Facilities for cetaceans. Like how They’ve been raising 4 Pilot whales in Orlando successfully . They sent him to SeaWorld cause they are the only facility left in North America With pilot whales
@@AllerNuttin Thats not even true!! The feed them to reward their tricks they _used_ to do, but even tr hen, they feed them throughout the day. Trick or no trick,they eat.
An amazing video for an amazing story Jonathan. I really wish I could've had the chance to see Sully myself before he passed. You're one of the lucky ones to have been close to Sully or at least closer than most. This video is just another fantastic reason why you're content deserves so much more attention. :)
Though the media does suggest seaworld treats show animals badly it just depends if you see that for yourself because I don't trust media for all my information I trust experience i'm not saying anyone is wrong i'm just saying don't always believe what media says but just experience something first before judging
Whatever their rehabilitation program consists of, it cannot undo the damage they knowingly did to the Orca in their care. Nothing can ever change that. Sea World COULD choose to work along side scientists to establish sea pens for the Orca and dolphin, and work together to help release their animals. THAT would help rehabilitate their reputation. But, they won't. It's because they bring in $$$. Ergo, they are still motivated by MONEY and not what is truly best for the animals. I call bullshit on that program. And the "media" that you speak of consisted of a documentary made by former SW employees and people who study wild Orca and can tell the natural behavior/happy behavior from misery and self-injury. Orca self-injure at that place. The tanks are too small, they don't get the stimulation they need (performing isn't stimulation for them, it's WORK), they don't get many of their fundamental needs met. Just the basic ones and even then, barely. It's not propaganda, it's truth. So, the only ones lying here is Sea World because they have everything to lose by being honest. If their tourists knew that the animals generally only live to half the age they would in the wild, in captivity, they'd stop supporting that business. If the tourists knew that the animals chew on the concrete of their tanks and wear their teeth down.....and are subject to bullying from the other Orca (who generally get along very well in the WILD), if they knew that the flopped over dorsal fins and the behavior at the parks are so different from the behavior you see in wild Orca.....they'd stop supporting SW. Of course SW is not going to be honest about anything. It would kill their business. And that's what it is. A business. Not a sanctuary, not a rehab. A business and is listed as such on the stock market. Sanctuaries aren't listed on the stock market. Only lucrative, money pulling businesses are. That's their motivation and this smoke and mirrors with Sully is to try and fool people back into thinking they actually care about the animals. If you care about an animal, you respect its right to freedom.....not force it to perform for food and allow it to self-injure itself and other people.
Morgan the orca has similar issues 2 Sully, she’s also partially deaf so I’m glad she now has a 4ever home at Loro Parque where she has all she needs 2 live - she even has a BABY now❣️ (NO Anti-Captivity comments please!)
Morgans permit was for rehab and release! Not exhibition and breeding. There are lots of permit violations and what Loro Parque has done is beyond disgusting! And its disgusting that you cant see that. There is no proof that Morgan is deaf, the marine park wont let any outside vet test her. She was bullied and attacked daily by the other captive killer whales (which is highly unnatural in killer whale society). Also Ula has a major deformity and infection to her pectoral flippers. You should actually learn about what is going on with this orca before believing what this marine park says. www.freemorgan.org/
Everyone is getting mad that they sent this whale to SeaWorld, the whale literally would have DIED had it stayed in the wild. That and it REFUSED to leave the people that were taking care of it. There were no other options, the whale is dead now sadly, but it lived a longer, healthier life than it would’ve had it stayed in the wild.
The difference in the environment made me sad... he went from seeing fish swimming all around him, natural salt water, and a beautiful scenery to 5 blue walls and an empty pool... with water not deep enough to protect his skin from the sun. Sea world needs to DO BETTER
His lonely because he was used to many people and when it go back to the ocean it got depressed of loneliness and emptiness of friend that somebody cuddles him. he learn a bit of intelligent on human and he didnt find it in the group of pilot whale that kind of care,friend, and playful that he use to be with human and he feels like being kick out in the show that adds his sadness.rest in peace sully~ 😔♥️
Slime Factory hey guess what if you search did sully die in seaworld? He did and along time ago too so do your research kids and remember that sully lived one quarter of his life and died of sunburn
Eric Lunger sully wouldve died a much early age if he didn’t get saved by seaworld, and silly was disabled, deaf and such, being in the wild would be much more deadly for him
Omg this is so cool when I was little my parents went to Caribbean! My biggest dream is to scuba dive! And its all because of Jonathan Bird! Now I scuba Dive every time something in Blue world is happening! Again its all because of Jonathan Bird!
Sully, the deaf Whale. How about that ? He was lucky to be found. They tried every trick in the book, to get him back into the wild, but he could not talk to the other Whales. So he got a job at Sea World. Considering the alternatives, that’s not so bad a deal. He is obviously loving it.😊🤷🏼♂️🐬🧜🏼♂️🙋🏻♂️🇩🇰❤️🇺🇸✌🏻
@@timwatz2330 shut up. He was deaf and couldn’t survive in the wild. The whale didn’t want to be a disability, but sh*t happened. At least , he was not left staving to death and was taken good care of by professionals.
Pilot whales have a sense of humor, I know. while sitting on my board out ways one came up behind me lifting me and my board suddenly and it blew air out loud as it could to startle me! no kidding, it actually looked right at me with the one eye and I knew it was laughing somehow.
Wow! You made Curaçao Sea Aquarium and Sea World San Diego famous. Jonathan, please visit Bihar and make a documentary on Gangetic dolphins! The water is too polluted that gradually the evolution has made the dolphins almost blind. With your good cameras perhaps you may reveal many secrets about the animals. Your documentary will educate many and will help this endangered dolphins. Also you are welcome to my native place Odisha to explore the few left Irrawaddy dolphins in our Chilika lake. Please consider it. I hope your videos and narrations will help the animals a lot.
Teaching sully to follow a boat may be detrimental if he’d been released back to t wild he would’ve looked to boats for food, and not all people are friendly to animals. Giving him to seaworld was worse
I love your channel but I feel like this video is advertising $ea World more than anything.. I am surprised you support them even tho they might have kept some mammals alive.. that doesn't mean they do things right.
Sophie Provost “kept some” lol they saved over 30,000 animals, seaworld does a lot of good and did some wrong, that’s the point of learning from your mistakes
Jonathon wasn't promoting Sea World!! He was following up on the story of Sully. He had nothing to do with him as it wasn't his idea to send him there. I suppose you have a better solution for Sully to live? The island didn't have the resources to help him. Sea World was the best option to keep him alive. I'm not a big fan of Sea World, but they do a lot of good in situations such as these!
Jonathan, how do you feel about places like sea world? After all, they have a bad rep and have been accused of hurting the animals in order to train them! I just thought with someone like you who has such a love or marine life, I thought you would rather all fish and animals of that nature be free? But then again their is always cases like this one where the animal (sully) needs special care in order to survive. Just wanted to hear your side of this argument as it has it's ups and its downs!
His skin likely looks like that because of the water treatment that Seaworld uses. All you need to do is one google search to see how bad it is for their skin, eyes, and the trainers in the water.
@@adrunkgorillawithalobotomy353 No they’re not 🤦🏽♂️ the water is natural filtered sea water form mission bay. The narrative that they swim in chlorine water is false and is a false narrative used by animal rights extremists. It’s simply not true. His change in color could be because of age or just genetics. Every animal is different and they all have different color variations.
We are constantly updating cameras as new ones come out. The camera I am using now is a Sony Z100 4K camcorder in a Gates housing with a Fathom wide angle lens. We also have a Sony AX100 in a Gates housing and a Sony a6300 in a Nauticam, as well as a RED Weapon 8K camera in a Nauticam housing. We choose the right camera for the job.
This was a totally Disaster.. Pilot Whale ended in Sea World. They don't have intention to get this pilot in the sea in the first place.. Sucks.. They use This individual (Whales and dolphins) FOR MONEY. WHAT AN DISASTROUS ENDING.

The relationship between humans and whale in this video is just so fascinating. Just speaks so much that no matter who you are, no matter what you are, love DOES really manifest itself in many different ways. This literally gave me goosebumps.
It's so wonderful to see how humans can love and care for the animals in the ocean. Jonathan you know that I've always appreciate and love your videos, it's unfortunate to learn that he died. Great job by Sea World in caring for all those animals. God bless all of you and keep up the great work.
Wow, never knew whales got their fluids from the animals they eat. Thought they had some sort of process of extracting water through a filter system. Amazing how much you can learn even when a 30 years old man
normally i dont like any sort of animal in captivity, but i guess heres an exception
I agree! He clearly seems very happy! :)
@@retard_activated Unfortunately he died in 2012.
Wow . What an excellent piece of short documentary about Pilot Whale . People who see Dolphins , Orcas , Whales etc. perform at the Aquarium for the crowd feel bad for the aquatic animals because they think the animal is trapped and needs freedom . Although some part of it is true , but many don't know that some aquatic animals like the Pilot Whale - Sully cannot go back to the wild because they can't use echolocation to hunt for their food . This makes them dependent on someone to feed them for the entire life . Mr. Jonathan Bird , I have learnt so many things about the Blue World from you and I really thank you for documenting the life of Sully for us .
Thanks for watching and for your nice comments!
Why does his skin look so discolored after getting to sea world?
+MeTooHigh He had sunburn because he spent so much time on the surface.
+MeTooHigh He had a pre existing skin condition when he arrived there .
Dat Boi No they did not care good enough for him. Because when sully was still were he stranded they used a special suncream to cover his skin however sealive did not do this and also provided no suncover
MeTooHigh sunburn his cause of death
Dat Boi errrr!wrong show me your wiki link
And they said that animals are dumb.
Sully played the system and won!
He has his own place, he no longer has to hunt for his food, he has waiters and waitresses to feed him and he has 3 women to rub him down everyday.
Sully is living it up.
And, he got famous in the process! Not bad, eh? Sully, you lucky dog you!! Er...
If orcas had hands and feet they'd rival man in intelligence.
As of may 23, 2012 Sully is dead.
Humans can get this very thing in prison too. Yay
And now he is dead.
Im suprised this channel doesnt have more views, I like how concise the segments are, thanks Jonathan.
+Jayme Capurso We're getting there!! Tell some friends please!
+BlueWorldTV lol
+BlueWorldTV yes Jonathan I have told my 8 friends about this channel they r u still watching it and they love ur content

I can’t believe they gave him to sea world after the rescue I find it heart braking 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
What a sad ending... I DON'T TRUST SEA WORLD AT ALL.... :( Hope you're happy Sully. 💔🥺
I wonder if he’s still alive, wonder if he decided he didn’t want to stay in the water there in a pool 😢💔
That's adorable, I think that's a whale that likes to be pampered LOL
I’m telling you this right now guys, sea world is no fun place to keep whales in small pond. You know, have you watched that documentary film called, “Black fin?”
It’s black fish but yea
Know what, credit where it's due: Sea world took him in and cared for him. Now we watch Black Fish and hate SeaWorld. I'm not against dolphins performing, but let them because they want to not because they have too. Put the animals first. Id personally just be happy seeing these animals, they don't need to perform for me. Glad to see that SeaWorld does do SOME good atleast
They can live in the ocean with bad hearing. They help each other. You think there isn't other dolphins out there that can't hear?
@@tonigrosso7544 lol! no! pack animals kill weak links or leave them behind
@@kristianxoto Not necessarily it really depends but in this case certainly. I'd guess that a big factor here is that dolphins don't. make a kill collectively to share but rather hunt their own prey which they eat immediatly. They might employ team strategies but if you can't catch your food you are out of luck.
The animals love to do behaviors, my family member was a trainer at sea world and as soon as fans would fill the seats the Orcas and dolphins would be waiting at the gates eager to perform and do behaviors it’s also enriching for them. As you can tell all of these dolphins orcas in pilot whales are fat and healthy. They can’t be forced to do anything, I have gone to shows at sea world where they tell the people sorry the whales want to take a day off today and then there’s other days where they can’t wait to get out and perform so, I think it would be more cruel and they were just floating around in a tank doing nothing
This must be my favorite episode from you Jonathan.. This is so adorable
Woww!! Such a very inspiring story about an adorable pilot whale named Sully...thank you Jonathan!
I was lucky enough to see Sully before he died.
Billy Causgrove me too
and now ita 2019
its*
What did he die of?
@@smashedlittlek He had organ failure due to a preexisting condition that he had from being beached so long
Awww..I am so glad Sully has a wonderful home and so many who loves him. Best of luck Sully. ❤❤❤❤🐳🐳
shale is dead .......
This is such a heartwarming episode. I love Sully! I hope I get to meet him one day.
He died
@@christopherkoffij5043 and learning that just broke my heart
SeaWorld......hope they treat sully right and dont abuse him and make him do tricks for food.
They killed him back in 2012 he only lasted a few months.
+Joaco Lopez 😢😭 Seaworld are freaking evil
reall? the didnt kill him he died. 'SCCN had consulted with SeaWorld San Diego veterinarian Dr. Tom Reidarson about Sully’s care, so it was probably a forgone conclusion that Sully would wind up there if the release attempts failed because SeaWorld was actively engaged in trying to get a male pilot whale at that time. '' -> its bad that he died for sw
thomas stein group in the comments
Spelling mistake I ment go up
Why don’t they use a soft brush to clean the dead skin
Makes sense!
Maybe it hurts him
He likes tummy rubs
that was the most beautiful story of a whale i have ever seen, this channel really deserves more views than what it has now.
mirageX22 are you being stupid or did you not know sully died of ducking sunburn along time ago two years after coming to seaworld
@@ericlunger1010 Sully did not die of sunburn, but of degenerative hepatopathy, essentially his liver had waaay to much fat deposits and caused it to shut down. Nothing to do with sunburn, at all.
Rest In Piece Sully
why? he's still alive
No unfortunately he isn't
um no
He is not dead yet i am dead x-x
How did he die
I really hope we have proper sanctuaries eventually where rescues like this can live at least a semi-normal life without risk of becoming show animals
There is nothing wrong with animals being shown off to the public. They are getting their exercise in and being physically and mentally stimulated. For us it’s shows are entertaining. For the animals it’s an enjoyable experience in which they are stimulated each and everyday.
@@migglej.r.7667 There is everything wrong with it if that is the animals entire life.... The animals agree; given how many become aggressive in captivity. There is value in the interaction and they are initially stimulated but it is not a proper environment there will inevitably be problems. In the right situation it can work; like with ambassador animals where they are occasionally shown off and then go back to a more natural environment; but that is still dependent on temperament and willingness to travel. No animal should live its entire life in such a small relative container; waiting to be shown off every day.
@@migglej.r.7667 why can’t they “show” them by just showing them. Why do they have to do tricks
@@DuskLegend they’re not tricks they’re behaviors. And it’s keep them mentality stimulated cole one now think. These animals breach and swim fast and do all kinds of behaviors in the wild. It’s also their exercise for us it’s fun but for them it’s stimulating and fun I guess as well
Guys. He may have been waiting for his seasonal pod to come near again. Or until he heard rumor of them on his daily outings offshore! The pod they brought him to most likely was not his family/pod! I think it would have been better for him to let him stay at least a couple years before sending him to Seaworld. Aquariums are beautiful and fine most of the time but I recently saw a "show" on youtube taken from seaworld and the conditions were really bad! I think it was the one in California and I do not know the conditions at the other. But as he was obviously happy where he was if its not broken why try to fix it? He may have been sounding for his pod while going on his daily swim offshore. He may be lost and not know where his pod is. He may simply like the new conditions far more than being alone in the great semi- desert of the open ocean. I think he lost his pod and he then was unable to gain food so easy and became depressed and didn't care to eat without his family/pod. You should have let him stay longer. He no doubt loved the company of another kind and intelligent species. To whales we can be somewhat like gods to them. Then there they are blessing him with unlimited fish. I think they should've let him stay until there was a good reason not to. Plus whales are so intelligent I mean his emotional love towards these people may have become like a new family a new pod to him in which case to send him away would be cruel. For all we know his pod was killed or broken up by storm or evil people etc... Seriously if they had opened up a paypal account online and explained Sully's unique situation you would've gained more than enough money to keep him fed and happy! No! It was California that took him! Not good at all. So he is semi-deaf. Well that explains alot. But I still do not agree with sending him to San Diego. They should've kept him at the original spot started an online donation account to feed him and kept taking him offshore daily.
With all the billions being spent to fight climate change, surely we can find a few millions to support animal sanctuaries around the world for cases like Sully. Sending him to Seaworld's circus wasn't the right answer.
This is the most BEAUTIFUL thing i have ever seen on RUclips!
Sully said why hunt when y'all are pampering me for free! Lol
Exactly! Although these people were very compassionate. They went about it completely wrong. I understand hand feeding him for the first few times until he gained some strength back. They really should have released live fish around for him to catch on his own. There was too much human contact and they most definitely should not have taught him to follow boats. He could have gotten his exercises from hunting and chasing his fish. They tamed him, and got him too used to food comi g to him. Of cours he wouldnt go back out in the wild. That being said, in his particular case, with his loss of hearing. It is understandable that he was unable regardless. However, they didnt know that until way later amd still shouldnt have done it the way they did to begin with. As a wildlife rehabilitator, these things are in the tests you take to get your licensing to be able to care for and reintroduce wildlife back into the wild.
@@kathryncastanares525 They did what they could and releasing him back to the wild would have been a death sentence. There’s no need to criticize in this case.
@@kathryncastanares525 umm, they tried releasing him and even looked for a pod for him but Sully himself refused to go back to the wild. I guess you can't really speak for the animals since they also have their own thoughts and feelings about certain things.
A pilot whale can hear up to ONE HUNDRED KILOHERTZ?!?!?! For the sake of simplifying what that means, the highest frequency humans can hear is just shy of TWENTY kilohertz. In the 60's and 70's I couldn't deal with going to department stores like Sears, Hecht Co., etc. Their security systems used a super-high frequency....... like a dog whistle in scream mode.
Also VERY interesting is the fact they can dehydrate...... never occurred to me they can't and don't "drink" the water.
Great show here...... love the entire whale/porpoise sector of fauna :) Seeing so much handling with bare hands, I recall at Xcaret, Mexico we'd bought a few minutes with a bottlenose dolphin...... of COURSE we're compelled to touch them, but the woman in charge snapped "do NOT TOUCH him!!!!!". Oh..... maybe I need to upgrade my $20 ticket?
Even though intentions were good, I fail to see how removing him from good fresh ocean water of his original home, to a chlorinated small pool was good for him, compared to his original access to open ocean. And if Sea world was willing to shell out for 60 lbs of fish a day, how come they couldn't give that to him in Curaçao? The excuse was made that the original folks couldn't afford to keep feeding him, yet thousands had to be spent flying him to Sea World. Something seems... fishy here.
Not really, if you watch the episode carefully, all that is explained. They did not have the facilities to take care of him in Curacao. The pool at Sea World is not chlorinated...the animals can't be in chlorinated water. Sea World was willing to take him and try to help him. I don't see why everyone wants to make Sea World the bad guy in this. This whale had an inability to catch food because his ears didn't work right and they hunt with echolocation. He was starving to death. He would have died within a few days if he had not been rescued. Once they knew he couldn't ever catch food because of his hearing, they knew he could never be released. And he did not want to be released. He followed the boat home every time. So they could either put him down or try to find a place that would feed him forever. It cost hundreds of dollars a day just to feed him, never mind all the other care. Now we can certainly say that Sea World did something wrong in terms of sun protection, which is really sad because it led to a skin infection. But at least they tried to save him.
My daughter wants to tell you that our dog is named Sullivan. His nickname is Sully. Sullivan and Sully have a lot in common. Sullivan likes to gather up his toys too.
Is your dog Irish??? 😀
I loved this video, but may Sully rest in peace now.
How wonderful that Sully was saved, but how unfortunate he had to go to Sea World and died. If they'd stop ALL animal shows and just focus on animal rescue and rehab they'd get a lot more respect.
They couldn't find him any better place than SEA-WORLD!!! after all what they have done, its just mesmerising. Jonathan, you have a great channel but this one isn't the best video you've got here.
Elenor Collins SeaWorld is One of the BEST Facilities for cetaceans. Like how They’ve been raising 4 Pilot whales in Orlando successfully . They sent him to SeaWorld cause they are the only facility left in North America With pilot whales
poor sully they starve the animals at sea world so they can do tricks for food :(
@@AllerNuttin Thats not even true!! The feed them to reward their tricks they _used_ to do, but even tr hen, they feed them throughout the day. Trick or no trick,they eat.
@@chasethesun5603 they starve them so they will do tricks for food
@@AllerNuttin Do you have any proof? Video evidence that hasn't been edited. quotes from park goers, ect?
In a world of torment. A story like this is like a breath of fresh sweet air. Thank you for sharing.👍🐳🐳🐳👍
This video will give sea world a way better reputation in SECONDS
MadMan Gaming qAew
He ded
Fortunately, no amount of window dressing and free promotion from Jonathan Bird can salvage SeaWorld's reputation.
I’ve come back to this video I haven’t watched it in 4 years at best this was always my favorite video .
Omg look at his skin colour when he was in the wild to him in that tiny pen is sea world? Breaks your heart ❣
Thanks for showing us this beautiful story! My son loves this channel
An amazing video for an amazing story Jonathan. I really wish I could've had the chance to see Sully myself before he passed. You're one of the lucky ones to have been close to Sully or at least closer than most. This video is just another fantastic reason why you're content deserves so much more attention. :)
SkyScourgeGod bitch that whale lived 1 quarter of it's life
SkyScourgeGod funny thing i did see the whale i live on curaçao and it was the first time we ever got to see a whale here
You can see how his skin changed going into captivity. Still a beautiful animal and story
Though the media does suggest seaworld treats show animals badly it just depends if you see that for yourself because I don't trust media for all my information I trust experience i'm not saying anyone is wrong i'm just saying don't always believe what media says but just experience something first before judging
Whatever their rehabilitation program consists of, it cannot undo the damage they knowingly did to the Orca in their care. Nothing can ever change that. Sea World COULD choose to work along side scientists to establish sea pens for the Orca and dolphin, and work together to help release their animals. THAT would help rehabilitate their reputation. But, they won't. It's because they bring in $$$. Ergo, they are still motivated by MONEY and not what is truly best for the animals. I call bullshit on that program. And the "media" that you speak of consisted of a documentary made by former SW employees and people who study wild Orca and can tell the natural behavior/happy behavior from misery and self-injury. Orca self-injure at that place. The tanks are too small, they don't get the stimulation they need (performing isn't stimulation for them, it's WORK), they don't get many of their fundamental needs met. Just the basic ones and even then, barely. It's not propaganda, it's truth. So, the only ones lying here is Sea World because they have everything to lose by being honest. If their tourists knew that the animals generally only live to half the age they would in the wild, in captivity, they'd stop supporting that business. If the tourists knew that the animals chew on the concrete of their tanks and wear their teeth down.....and are subject to bullying from the other Orca (who generally get along very well in the WILD), if they knew that the flopped over dorsal fins and the behavior at the parks are so different from the behavior you see in wild Orca.....they'd stop supporting SW. Of course SW is not going to be honest about anything. It would kill their business. And that's what it is. A business. Not a sanctuary, not a rehab. A business and is listed as such on the stock market. Sanctuaries aren't listed on the stock market. Only lucrative, money pulling businesses are. That's their motivation and this smoke and mirrors with Sully is to try and fool people back into thinking they actually care about the animals. If you care about an animal, you respect its right to freedom.....not force it to perform for food and allow it to self-injure itself and other people.
@@adrunkgorillawithalobotomy353 wow you guys really really hate sea world.......it's not a cult or something geez
Great work . You guys are incredible and your work is too joy full
Sully the “Pilot” 👨🏻✈️ Lol 😂 great name!
It is so sad that beautiful and super friendly PILOT WHALES ARE SLAUGHTER IN THE FAROE ISLANDS....... GREAT VIDEO GREAT CARING PEOPLE
Morgan the orca has similar issues 2 Sully, she’s also partially deaf so I’m glad she now has a 4ever home at Loro Parque where she has all she needs 2 live - she even has a BABY now❣️
(NO Anti-Captivity comments please!)
super u know the difficult condition of this animals and u want to close ur eyes for this sadly...
Morgans permit was for rehab and release! Not exhibition and breeding. There are lots of permit violations and what Loro Parque has done is beyond disgusting! And its disgusting that you cant see that. There is no proof that Morgan is deaf, the marine park wont let any outside vet test her. She was bullied and attacked daily by the other captive killer whales (which is highly unnatural in killer whale society). Also Ula has a major deformity and infection to her pectoral flippers. You should actually learn about what is going on with this orca before believing what this marine park says.

I always watched this when I was younger... and i still love to watch this!
May you rest in peace in our hearts Forever, dear sully
Everyone is getting mad that they sent this whale to SeaWorld, the whale literally would have DIED had it stayed in the wild. That and it REFUSED to leave the people that were taking care of it. There were no other options, the whale is dead now sadly, but it lived a longer, healthier life than it would’ve had it stayed in the wild.
Wonderful video. Had me smiling a lot:).
One of my all-time favorite eps that I watch over and over
wow it's amazing! thank you for this video!!!
The difference in the environment made me sad... he went from seeing fish swimming all around him, natural salt water, and a beautiful scenery to 5 blue walls and an empty pool... with water not deep enough to protect his skin from the sun. Sea world needs to DO BETTER
FedEx buying the packages and thanks for the mail. LOL
There will come a day when Seaworld is just a horrible memory. I long for that day.

I think Sully should get a job as a pilot someday
His lonely because he was used to many people and when it go back to the ocean it got depressed of loneliness and emptiness of friend that somebody cuddles him. he learn a bit of intelligent on human and he didnt find it in the group of pilot whale that kind of care,friend, and playful that he use to be with human and he feels like being kick out in the show that adds his sadness.rest in peace sully~ 😔♥️
this almost made me cry tears of joy you are defiantly my favret youtuber
Slime Factory sorry 😐 he died 😮😣😢😧😢😢😧😢😥😯
Slime Factory hey guess what if you search did sully die in seaworld? He did and along time ago too so do your research kids and remember that sully lived one quarter of his life and died of sunburn
Eric Lunger sully wouldve died a much early age if he didn’t get saved by seaworld, and silly was disabled, deaf and such, being in the wild would be much more deadly for him
Omg this is so cool when I was little my parents went to Caribbean! My biggest dream is to scuba dive! And its all because of Jonathan Bird! Now I scuba Dive every time something in Blue world is happening! Again its all because of Jonathan Bird!
Thank you!!
@@BlueWorldTV Don't thank us, we love you
Sully, the deaf Whale. How about that ? He was lucky to be found. They tried every trick in the book, to get him back into the wild, but he could not talk to the other Whales. So he got a job at Sea World. Considering the alternatives, that’s not so bad a deal. He is obviously loving it.😊🤷🏼♂️🐬🧜🏼♂️🙋🏻♂️🇩🇰❤️🇺🇸✌🏻
A little pilot whale had a similar story to a brave orca at loro parque
@@timwatz2330 shut up. He was deaf and couldn’t survive in the wild. The whale didn’t want to be a disability, but sh*t happened. At least , he was not left staving to death and was taken good care of by professionals.
That scratching by his trainers... he's like little happy puppy :)
Pilot whales have a sense of humor, I know. while sitting on my board out ways one came up behind me lifting me and my board suddenly and it blew air out loud as it could to startle me! no kidding, it actually looked right at me with the one eye and I knew it was laughing somehow.
Wonderful video
Wow! You made Curaçao Sea Aquarium and Sea World San Diego famous. Jonathan, please visit Bihar and make a documentary on Gangetic dolphins! The water is too polluted that gradually the evolution has made the dolphins almost blind. With your good cameras perhaps you may reveal many secrets about the animals. Your documentary will educate many and will help this endangered dolphins. Also you are welcome to my native place Odisha to explore the few left Irrawaddy dolphins in our Chilika lake. Please consider it. I hope your videos and narrations will help the animals a lot.
Thankyou, mr jonathan for this wonderful video😍😍😍
why dont you do a orca video jonathan
Aadit Gupta You are right. The way that Seaworld treats it's orcas and dolphins is inhumane. PETA does help.
Dr Ingrid to. Now celebrities.
Despite SeaWorld's reputation for mistreatment of animals, these animals are still treated better than many humans by their own governments.
Insanely based
Teaching sully to follow a boat may be detrimental if he’d been released back to t wild he would’ve looked to boats for food, and not all people are friendly to animals. Giving him to seaworld was worse
Iv watched nilly evry episode and this is still my favourite. It’s so sweet, and oh god thank you to those people who took care of sulie ;)
What a beautiful creature. Some times we are beautiful creatures too, specially western world!
this was such an inspiring story thanks Jonathan!
I love your channel but I feel like this video is advertising $ea World more than anything.. I am surprised you support them even tho they might have kept some mammals alive..
that doesn't mean they do things right.
Sophie Provost “kept some” lol they saved over 30,000 animals, seaworld does a lot of good and did some wrong, that’s the point of learning from your mistakes
Jonathon wasn't promoting Sea World!! He was following up on the story of Sully. He had nothing to do with him as it wasn't his idea to send him there. I suppose you have a better solution for Sully to live? The island didn't have the resources to help him. Sea World was the best option to keep him alive. I'm not a big fan of Sea World, but they do a lot of good in situations such as these!
Dear Jonathan, you are totally amazing!
Thanks!!
Jonathan, how do you feel about places like sea world? After all, they have a bad rep and have been accused of hurting the animals in order to train them!
I just thought with someone like you who has such a love or marine life, I thought you would rather all fish and animals of that nature be free?
But then again their is always cases like this one where the animal (sully) needs special care in order to survive.
Just wanted to hear your side of this argument as it has it's ups and its downs!
+Survivor 2439 They do not hurt them , They might get hurt by other whales but that is natural .
+Markich Narkich
Actually sully died of skin disease, that's why his skin is different. :(
Dr.Philry Sadly .
Survivor 2439 wanna here what I think HE DIED in 2012 do the research
His skin likely looks like that because of the water treatment that Seaworld uses. All you need to do is one google search to see how bad it is for their skin, eyes, and the trainers in the water.
You are amazing. Thank you for making videos! Why do you make videos?
I like filmmaking underwater!
why does his skin look so different when he's at sea world?
Their tanks are treated with chemicals......like a swimming pool would be. Likely a reaction to them.
@@adrunkgorillawithalobotomy353 No they’re not 🤦🏽♂️ the water is natural filtered sea water form mission bay. The narrative that they swim in chlorine water is false and is a false narrative used by animal rights extremists. It’s simply not true. His change in color could be because of age or just genetics. Every animal is different and they all have different color variations.
God bless all of you salute 👍 fantastic ❤️ work
Imagine is you couldn't see the plane or the cargo and you just saw a flying pilot whale. I'd trip
Although I don’t like the entertainment side of sea world, I do like that they help rehabilitate animals.
What camera and housing set up do you use?
We are constantly updating cameras as new ones come out. The camera I am using now is a Sony Z100 4K camcorder in a Gates housing with a Fathom wide angle lens. We also have a Sony AX100 in a Gates housing and a Sony a6300 in a Nauticam, as well as a RED Weapon 8K camera in a Nauticam housing. We choose the right camera for the job.
Wow! a Red Camera!! That amazing
This was a totally Disaster.. Pilot Whale ended in Sea World. They don't have intention to get this pilot in the sea in the first place.. Sucks.. They use This individual (Whales and dolphins) FOR MONEY. WHAT AN DISASTROUS ENDING.
Wow sullys doing great!
*goes to seaworld* well shit nice knowing you sully!
he died
I remember seeing this when i was younger lol, i rememberd this and found it
He had a chance at freedom and they took him to SeaWorld ! 🤔🤔
He is soooo cute! And heck ya he remembered u!
