It's one of the greatest mysteries on the planet to me, why the world's most ferocious, blood thirsty killers typically just pass we humans by with nothing but the equivalent of a smile and a wink.

Christopher Sean Williams - 9 years ago

these orcas are making me thirsty!

Elaine M - 9 years ago

Why do they only laugh about it and saw ''wow'' so casually? I'd be speechless. So beautiful.

phox202 - 10 years ago

Tiffy I didn't know polar bears kayaked near killer whales.

BellinghamsterTrail - 10 years ago

You guys were so lucky to get so close. Thats a kayaking trip to remember.

John D - 10 years ago

+Julien Gouweleeuw Actually the Orca is a WHALE that is part of the dolphin family. I can elaborate if you want...? What I want to know is WHAT is the big deal about people calling them whales??? I mean their nick-name is the killer WHALE. It is the dumbest thing to correct someone on given you're both right AND the popularity of it's nick-name. What is your deal?????

I'd be absolutely terrified, haha!

BB13131313 - 11 years ago

they were all calm.. I'd be shitting my pants.. and i love orcas

Thomas Reynolds - 11 years ago

Actually dolphins are whales too.

SealAngel - 11 years ago

What an experience man! so jealous! nothing like seeing animals in the wild! Unreal!

cALM - 11 years ago

waaw

Veracious Viking - 11 years ago

Dolphin actually. :P

S White - 11 years ago

You are so right, I should have done my research before commenting whether killer whales were dolphins or not. And as far as the black dolphins, I should have mentioned their underbellies are white.

hateseaworld - 11 years ago

Killer whales are indeed dolphins. They are the largest member of the dolphin family. There are plenty of small, black colored whales (melon headed whales, pygmy killer whales, pilot whales, false killer whales etc), but I'm not aware of any completely black dolphins. Just saying ;)

Kaylin Reinhart - 11 years ago

Orcas are part of the dolphin family...do your research!

S White - 11 years ago

You're right, they are not dolphins but there ARE plenty of black colored dolphins in the ocean..just sayin'

Aviv Gannon - 11 years ago

i'd feel safer swimming mear orcas with a belt of dead fish around my body than walking around te city any day. human is the only dangerous animal on earth.

meanwiddlekid - 11 years ago

There's no record of orcas ever attacking people. That doesn't mean it's never happened or there won't be a first time.

maritia - 11 years ago

waou!

Mako Mankanshoku - 11 years ago

uh, I don't think Ive seen a dolphin that big.plus, dolphins are a lighter colors then those black fins sticking out of the water

bluwave79 - 11 years ago

it's amazing, where did you guys have been doing that? is it a place where you can rent kayaks ?

Ahmed Hosni - 11 years ago

so they never saw the video of the killer whale jumping on those japanese people on the boat , did they ..

Thomas Garman - 11 years ago

Yeah, those things occasionally eat people. Just so you know. And they are fast enough to keep up with speed boats. They are big enough to kill great white sharks, and have big, highly advanced brains. You are in the natural element of the worlds smartest and largest pack hunter.

Green Lane - 11 years ago

sometimes you don't realize how big something is until you see it in person. rather than just on TV or the internet

"Fucking relax with the insults" - are you aware that you are insulting and swearing like a troglodyte, and accuse others of doing so? You really must have a lot of issues. Go see a healer. Have fun on my ignorelist.

movingonandup773 - 11 years ago

Fucking relax with the insults Jacques Cousteau. I couldn't give two shits about what fucking animal it is or what it can do or not do or if it's my fucking friend or if it will help me out when a mean shark comes around me never. It's not that deep jagoff so go eat a dick. Peace... :)

DrIncognito - 11 years ago

Quite the contrary: Having an Orca around you means being as safe as you can get in water.

DrIncognito - 11 years ago

Orcas wont kill you, numbnutz. Quite the opposite: If you ever happen to have sharks approach you when in water, an Orca is what you want to have close to yourself.

Melisa P - 11 years ago

Looks like K pod. K is part of the Southern Resident orca community and they only eat salmon, specifically Chinook and Chum salmon, no exceptions.

mathi mathig - 11 years ago

You all are Brave, You know what kills Great whites, Dolphins, and other whales? Orcas. I wouldn't feel safe at any point being around them.

Mike Scott - 11 years ago

You're gonna need a bigger kayak.

512mysterygirl - 11 years ago

Orcas are more curious than agitated If you threaten them- well goodbye Otherwise they are just cruising' along

movingonandup773 - 11 years ago

Who gives a fuck what it is if it can kill you and you're that close. These people are morons to not be concerned.

hillmer54321 - 12 years ago

false, it is a dolphin as it is a part of the delphindae superfamily, quite a common mistake due to popular connotations

ut000bs - 12 years ago

Most people don't think about how big some of them actually are until they see them up close. Imagine a big male bigger around than your 1-ton dually pickup truck.

Eric Kent - 12 years ago

Aye you are totally correct they belong to the family Cetacea which actually does encompass dolphins and whales they are both mammals. Dolphins and whales are in the same family they are not FISH. Not disagreeing with you but please look up cetaceans then you will understand that they are both whales and dolphins at the same time OK?

thats just incredible!

That is wrong, a killer whale in the wild has never attacked a human if we behave and respect them the way we should. They are missunderstood creatures.

swordwhale1 - 12 years ago

Awesome! I think the marine mammal protection thing regards you chasing marine mammals, not them suddenly appearing beside you. You seem to have stayed politely out of their way. As someone else observed, the inland orcas are fish hunters. Orca is actually the largest of the oceanic dolphins, and probably the most intelligent, possibly smarter than us (though in a very different, alien,way).

Todd Willis - 12 years ago

I would not dare go near those animals simply on kayak! No effin way! You guys have balls made out of metal! Lol

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

@kmkfiction2 We seem mostly in agreement. I have no doubt also that sharks know very well what we are. My contention with this thread however was with Orca captivity, obviously I would like to see the practice fade to distant memory. I also agree with the necessity to "dispassionately question the prevailing dogma" Carry on then

OzKelsey - 12 years ago

what time of year was this? summer? I would love to do that if I there are killer whales around!

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

I think it is a sad commentary on the state of marine biology, if not Science itself, when people use their purported expertise to orchestrate some sort of public relations charade for sharks. I mean, I understand the premise: if people are conditioned to see sharks as "misunderstood" predators, they may be more apt to support conservation. But at what point does a scientist or naturalist have to see things as they are- and dispassionately question prevailing dogma? The truth works and is.

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

Why is this relevant here? I have had several purported shark "experts" attempt to bolster their unscientific theories (e.g., sharks are not man-eaters) on account of their academic and/or "research" experience. I'm left thinking: if human remains have ALWAYS been found inside sharks- and the data of human migration patterns proves H. erectus/sapiens have been utilizing the marine ecosystem for over 2mm years...how can anyone credibly contend sharks don't know what we are? Puzzling.

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

Conspicuously, the premise of "mistaken identity" defies not only the undisputed data that sharks have a wide array of perceptive faculties that could easily differentiate prey- but it defies basic precepts of natural selection as well: to posit that a pelagic shark could not differentiate between a fat-rich pinniped and a seafaring primate would be an injurious trait. White sharks, for example, do not even attack human prey in the same ambush style they attack agile pinnipeds. That's the data.

100. comment for Kayaking with Killer Whales

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 My expertise in sharks, not Orcas, although I know a fair amount about Orcas compared to most. Let me provide an example. 90% or more of all "top marine biologist" allege that sharks attack people on account of "mistaken identity". This assertion, however, is contradicted by nearly all the available scientific evidence and, conspicuously, is not even subject to the scientific method. If anything, pelagic sharks predictably arrive at maritime disasters to feed on human prey.

K0K4NE - 12 years ago

not being racist, but that's the first black person i have seen anywhere near the water. Ever seen a black swimmer ?

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

@kmkfiction2 And now we are in a pissing match, I am at a loss to understand your anger. Given your academic record then, why not source this data which you also point out is available. "Any educated person can make their own theories" as you say, but these require data, and in this instance data provided by those scientists who "spend quality time" with their subjects. I point out that my achievements are equal to and similar to your own, no need to battle here, rather to debate.

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 As an aside, I find it absolutely laughable how the people that spend their lives, say, physically "tagging" sharks or taking photos of Orca dorsal fins to document individuals take such great airs for their efforts, as if, in the end, "spending quality time" among these creatures somehow yields this unassailable insight into sociobiological dynamics. What nonsense. The data is available to all. Any educated person can make their own theories. Get over yourself.

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

@kmkfiction2 For the record, you haven't pointed out anything novel or particularly noteworthy on this thread, so stop stroking yourself and seeking some form of stilted applause. As for your 50 years at sea, maybe you need to spend some time on land and learn some people skills. Imagine that, coming from litigator.

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 Further study on what, evolution? Unlike you, evolution and population genetics was the primary thesis of my undergraduate work at the #2 school in the US for Anthropology. I've been an attorney for about a decade and own a separate company in a $6 billion industry. Stop talking down to people that intimidate you.

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

@kmkfiction2 All predators are master killers, or extinct. You are not making much sense here and you are plainly not bothering to undertake any further study, rather preferring to bombard with opinion. The facts really are out there, and as I suggested earlier you should do as I have. I also pointed out my 50 years at sea, direct observation and interaction with delphinids so this is not just academic. Go forth and learn before your next posting. Hear from you in a few years.

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 Perhaps the violent propensities and refined mastery of the art of killing that Orcas' wield is a "dark cupboard" to you and others in academia, i.e., with such a heightened and glorified sense of self-perceived knowledge. Stated differently, your knowledge of these apex predators- whose species-specific adaptations are analogous to mankind's ruthless dominion over his own ecosystem- is derived merely from books. Ah, me. "To know and to act are one and the same." - Takuan

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 For all your condescending banter, you only add credence to my argument: to free Orcas in captivity is to give them a death sentence. But thanks for the heads up that Orcas are pack hunters. People like yourself think you are so smart, but most of your drivel ("sharks attack people on account of mistaken identity!") is a pretext to condition the public to acquiesce to groupthink that is, in the end, utterly divorced from actual Science. I see that as sad.

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 It should also be noted that a pool for a delphinid is like a dark cupboard for us. Years in such would reduce our eyesight and the finite concrete pool environment has a similar effect on Delphinid echolocation. Further, every Orca currently in captivity shows evidence of muscular atrophy. We can see that for various reasons their odds of survival on release are nowhere near as good as their odds had they never been captured. I recommend you study before your next post.

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 If you were to capture a young human, lock it away in a very small space for decades then release it into the wild while in relatively poor physical condition, as has been the case with every released Orca, the likely outcome is certain death. Slavery is an analogy only but does describe a lifetime of captivity and servitude without care for the intelligence of such a creature as this. I have no issue with killing, particularly if survival justifies it.

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

@kmkfiction2 I note that humans, chimps etc re released into the wild also fail to thrive, generally with worse outcomes then Orca. Delphinids are pack hunters in a very competitive environment. Releasing an Orca is not the same as putting it back into its natural environment which had once included its pod, ie its family. Delphinids spend their lives among their close relatives in their natural state yet not one of the very few orca released has been reunited with their kin. More..

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 For all your purported knowledge, it cannot undo the fact that Orcas re-released back to the wild starve. As for you characterizing captive Orcas as "slaves"- taken to illogical conclusion, every single creature in any form of captivity is therefore a slave. By analogy, if a human kills a creature to eat, does that make him or her a "murderer"? Do tell.

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

Further to my comments earlier, I have spent considerable time among Orca, have sponsored 20+ year studies of them, have lectured at universities on their behaviour and psychology and sailed the oceans for more then 50 years.Captivity for Orca has much in common with human slavery. Their own echolocation becomes painful to them inside pools which resemble what a 6 x 4 room may be to us.It is not a beauty but a cruel sadness driven by commercialism and sadness.

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

@kmkfiction2 True, they can adapt to captivity, much as a human adapts to slavery. On release frequently either would display dysfunctionality. I recommend all read the appropriate studies, particularly those such as Dr Ingrid Visser's still ongoing 26 year study or read Frank Hodgeson's book "Pictures in the Dolphin Mind" to discover who these creatures are and how they think. Imagine the rest of your life in a 6 x 4 cell, that's a pool to an orca. Fantasy speak = ignorance.

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

@kmkfiction2 There is a huge body of study confirming this, as well as decades of observation, particularly of odontoceti strandings and behaviour. Not delusion, fact. I was a lecturer at Massey University on the psychology of these creatures, I have studiedand recommend all of you do the same. The great naturalists, Dr Ingrid Visser, Frank Hodgeson et al, studied them in the wild as well as captivity and learned more from wild populations.

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

A wrath unspeakable in them and us too

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

If Orcas weren't in captivity, serving as a living statue of illimitable beauty, an entire generation of naturalists might not find their path, or people seek to preserve wild places and the Orca's wrath, unbound off the shores of Patagonia, like a murderer taking what pinnipeds time will allow- so please- let's not talk in fantasy speak- these dominate apex predators can adapt and once in captivity, would starve and die if let free. That is the end of the analysis and story. Bless them all & u

kmkfiction2 - 12 years ago

@tiopirata2 "Preferring death to separation", lol, listen to you testify for the Orca- almost as ridiculous as the underlying sentiment, as if, in the end, your delusion works and is

tiopirata2 - 12 years ago

Delphinids, including Orca, form the strongest familiar bonds known, occasionally preferring death to separation. Orca have an intellect probably equal to our own, no surprise that they turn on their captors occasionally. They are harmless to humans if undisturbed in the wild. Their "trainers" dont do it for love, they get paid like any other warden.

BloodyPaperclip - 12 years ago

@SpartanForgeWorld300 They are called KILLER whales for a reason, they are aquatic MURDERERS. They kill their own trainers who put love and time into training them, they kill everything. They have no remorse at all and these people are idiots for getting so close to these BEASTS in kayaks...

nikalik - 13 years ago

You guys just lived my dream... damn... I dislike you... buuut will LIKE this video because it's EPIC!! :)

katieofishsticks - 13 years ago

@SqueakerJenks Depends what type of killer whales they are. resident killer whales eat mainly salmon so are harmless but offshore and transient killer whales eat other whales, seals and penguins, so i would watch out for those. killer whales in captivity have been known to attack trainers although that is most likely provoked.

I don't doubt Telly will kill again. Waiting, waiting...to complete what time will allow. As shadows fall, the cut seal forgives the plow.

kmkfiction2 - 13 years ago

Sociobiology is understanding that each creature has species-specific adaptations to fully realize its inclusive fitness via dispassionate discharge of its ecological niche. Everyone accepts that Koala bears are highly specialized feeders, whereas many struggle to acknowledge Tiger/White/Bull/Oceanic Whitetip sharks have adapted to eat arguably the widest array of actual prey, including terrestial species that wash out to sea, or men that walked a plank, crooked and cursed the sharks attack thee

kmkfiction2 - 13 years ago

@stevos14a A sham? As in, abra cadapbra (sic.)? It's all true, swear on my life, I'd even swear on you. Conspicuously, your inferences underscore the same kind of unfounded speculation my analysis on shark attacks disproves (e.g., "mistaken identity" hypothesis). See? irony isn't just a literary device. It works and is, like the freedom to be several things at once.

stevos14a - 13 years ago

@kmkfiction2 - You obviously like to use big words. But I know it is a sham. If you were as smart as you are trying to sound you wouldn't bother having an argument on this topic in, this kind or forum with that person.

kmkfiction2 - 13 years ago

@Pvjinflight Your inability to even formulate an intelligent response simply proves your utter ignorance on the subject of sociobiology and just proves your arrogance stems from cultural insecurity. Maybe you should see the world first- before you comment on the dynamics that sustain it, silly video game geek.

zytigon - 13 years ago

According to the standard phylogenetic tree, whales are known to be the descendants of terrestrial mammals that had hindlimbs. There are many cases where whales have been found with rudimentary atavistic hindlimbs in the wild. Notably Kyoquot station, Vancouver island 1919 case . For super books about nature & science try, ' The greatest show on earth ' & ' Unweaving the rainbow ' by scientist Richard Dawkins

kmkfiction2 - 13 years ago

@Pvjinflight For someone so pompous, your analysis is puny and trivial, if not completely non sequitur.

kmkfiction2 - 13 years ago

@Pvjinflight Why do you talk about sharks "making a mistake" by attacking a human? No scientific evidence supports such an inference, given their finely-tuned perceptive faculties. Moreover, such an injurious trait would contravene Natural Selection. By definition, GENERALIST feeders do not "make mistakes" when feeding on available resources, e.g., after a maritime disaster. The fact it is statistically infrequent hardly supports the inference an "abnormal" or "sick" shark was responsible. Duh.

kmkfiction2 - 13 years ago

@Pvjinflight Ah me, another Euro-goober investing intelligence into ignorance and dispensing judgmental gibberish regarding sharks. That's right, genius. They are documented man-eaters. You have not slightest clue what ecological niche a pelagic shark even occupies, much less fully comprehend what a generalist feeder even means. You are like a helpless Haitian in the FL straits losing what little strength you have, like a swimmer, and I can feed on your folly at my caprice and my leisure.

@fkkkkkenig oh and a captive born whale called Keto killed his trainer at Loro Parque in spain a couple of years ago (the whale was bred by and belongs too seaworld).

hateseaworld - 13 years ago

@fkkkkkenig (just to clarify) Are you talking about statistics for captive born orca attacks on trainers?. If so then the most aggressive orca in captivity at the moment is captive born (orkid). There are several captive born orcas who are only allowed to be handled by the most senior trainers because of aggression) If you want the actual statistics look them up on orcahome(dot)de

@chozn11 A human has never been killed by a wild orca and researchers and film crews swim with them in the wild all the time. In captivity an orca attacks a trainer on average once a month and 4 trainers have been killed. What does that tell you.

locsphere - 13 years ago

@wannabedesi Seriously... I was being facetious, I don't care what they are because I already know what they are and being PC about it and avoiding the term "killer Whale" because its not entirely accurate really isn't necessary. I also feel I don't need a school lesson every time I come on youtube. Plus everyone hate the people who are constantly correcting everyone. Just enjoy the show was my point and case. But hey, I digress...

@locsphere How is referring to the natural family tree of cetaceans political? They ARE related to dolphins...nothing political. It's pure biological fact.

ihateuutube - 13 years ago

I always swim with a pack of killer whales. They keep the sharks away.

chozn11 - 13 years ago

@Hoopermazing And you apparently had that whale in a psychiatric session and it told you that right.. If you are stupid enough to Kayak with them, when they flip out and attack you , you deserve it. Bottom line No 1 can determine when or why some wild animal attacked you. Its all speculation why someone gets killed because not one animal told anyone anything.

Hoopermazing - 13 years ago

@chozn11 That orca was driven insane by being held captive in a fucking swimming pool. Let's put you in a footlocker for a few years and see of a few of your screws don't come loose.

Justin Kantner - 13 years ago

Wonderful! I'm going to Vancouver Island or any other island around Canada, when I'm a little bit older and have money, ( I'm 22 today ) But do you think it's.. " safe " to have a system camera with you ? or maybe I should stick to my digital camera,? haha

dreamynxghtmare - 13 years ago

It's not like they'll attack you. I'd still be afraid though, and yet totally amazed. They only attack when they feel threatened or if they they have some kind of illness or are just starving to death.

jangiie - 13 years ago

F**k that! i would have had a heart attack!!

locsphere - 13 years ago

Seriously awesome... Oh and it would also be nice to look at a video without some stupid ass vegan talkin about how they should not be in captivity. Or how they are not killer whales but orcas or how they are part of the dolphin family... Seriously sick of everyone making something political that doesn't need to be. They are in kayaks in the ocean and they saw whales up close= awesomeness. Wish I could experience it.

chilenotildeath - 13 years ago

i would of shit a brick

thybuilder - 13 years ago

@chozn11 Orcas souldn't be in captivity in first place. And if you still believe these are vicious animals google it. They don't kill something if it's not in their diet plans. however they'll kill you if felt threatened or mistake you for a meal.

chozn11 - 13 years ago

@thybuilder I wonder if that trainer at Sea World who was killed by 1 would agree with you?

Stephion Alleyne - 13 years ago

lewis john andrews - 13 years ago

Orca's are actually part of the dolphin family! And are called 'killer whales' because they are one of the only animals that actually kill other whales ! They also have another name which is wolves of the sea ! As they work in a pack ! This video is amazing and I am going to British columbia this summer and plan on doing this it should be amazing !

thybuilder - 13 years ago

Why does everyone assume Orcas kill and eat humans ? Fact is they don't, first we are not on their menu and second they'd kill only if you meant threat to them.

xThrashMonkeyx - 13 years ago

@kmkfiction2 Well I think you should take your time and do some research. Regards.

kmkfiction2 - 13 years ago

@xThrashMonkeyx Oh please. You are describing mammalian traits and yet talking about sharks. They don't learn by "trial and error", they neither render or receive maternal care and have no documented kin selection. Sharks not only lack the cognitive capacity to have abstract curiosity, their ecological niche is utterly incompatable w/ empathy or remorse. The known man-eaters are generalist feeders that will eat anything. It is silly to talk about "mistaken identity"- there's zero evidence.

xThrashMonkeyx - 13 years ago

I am not trying to state than an Orca is more dangerous than a Shark or vice versa. I was just replying a comment that said that sharks "pretty much go for anything" or something like that. There are few reported Orca attaks on humans, as almost any carnivore could attack and also possibly kill a human being. But to answer your question, it just a matter of shared habitat and statistics. Humans are mostly attacked by reef Shaks, near towns and beaches.

14Lillypad - 13 years ago

@xThrashMonkeyx Orcas also eat seals so why havn't orcas ever attacked mistaken a human for a seal?

mikerossscuba - 13 years ago

This is a thousand times better than going to see some poor trapped animal at a commercial aquarium. Seeing animals in their habitat is what it's all about. It is telling indeed that these orcas posed no threat to the kayakers, and that the only times a human was attacked was when the animal was in captivity. Visiting an orca museum in Friday Harbor, San Juan Islands, WA, I examined an orca's brain on display. I was nearly the size of a basketball. What an animal!

xThrashMonkeyx - 13 years ago

@zam19862003 Untrue. most shark species possess problem-solving as well as social skills, and curiosity. They have keen senses along with electroreception and lateral line. Sharks attack men because our swimming resembles the one of a wounded seal, slow, loud and splashing. Many shark species have flat or non-functional theeth. Due to our ingnorance many shark species are endangered. Sharks are not man eating machines. Sharkwater is a great documentary film on the subject.

pjamesbda - 13 years ago

You know, I see these kind of posts; usually of a little girl pulling on an alligator's tail, or some kid poking a lion in the ass, and someone always writes..."oh, you know there has never been an attack by these animals, their reputation as a carnivor killer is unfounded." What a load. Nature deserves better than this!

@AntipodeanAl It is not false info. There are no documented orca attacks against humans in the wild. The only orca attacks on humans ever recorded were in captivity and those involved orcas drowning their trainers. Of course, if you are dumb enough to treat these wild animals as pets you probably deserve to get drowned by 1.

It would be a dream come true to go swimming with orcas some day. Although I love them and think they're amazing, but still I think that being in the water with them there would be some fear rising up. And I don't mean this kind of fear with total panic but a fear of thinking about what they could do if they wanted to, I mean they're HUGE! But a respect a man should have for any wild animal, especially to a top predator, and sure they deserve all the respect from us <3 so wonderful they are.

Grumpy ol' Boot - 13 years ago

@TheTeenagedirt You aren't supposed to, no .. but the Orca's might have other plans. Don't forget that they are almost as curious about humans as we are about Orca's. Heck, any whale in the dolphin class species will tend to do what the orca's did here. Especially if your boat doesn't smell of oil, ie. a pure sail boat with no engine.

C. Natureluver - 13 years ago

@raulmendezgarcia there has never been a recorded case of a wild orca attacking or eating a human. 2nd, these are resident orcas and they only eat fish. Even the transient orcas (who eat marine mammals) have never attacked a human. The cases of orcas attacking people only happen in captivity. People have swam with wild orcas before (although I dont think its reccomended to do on ur saturday afternoon lol)

raulmendezgarcia - 13 years ago

Can anyone answer this... Do these creatures eat people? They seem friendly and everything but I still wouldn't swim near one if I got paid a million dollars!

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

@PacificOrcas Be careful not to create unfounded distinctions between the different "kinds" of Orcas. All Orcas are opportunistic, generalist feeders. Resident Orcas also have occasion to prey upon pinnipeds and cetaceans.

PacificOrcas - 14 years ago

@djdasani Actually in the San Juans they only eat fish. They are resident orcas. Trainsient orcas are the ones who eat seals. They are found around the north and south poles and by Australia and South Africa

julietneko - 14 years ago

That would have been awesome and a little scary. Orcas are beautiful and all, but if one came to close it would have been into the drink with you. most people would never be close enough to touch a wild whale.

I ended up amongs orca a couple of weeks ago. My guys had a different attitude: they were staulking ther hump back whales we were trying to paddle wiith. When the orca turned up we left. they killed and ate a minki and a harbour porpous that and tthe next day. The hump back were all mature and capable. My 60 Lbs. kayak and my 175 lbs of power and might would have made for a snack... A snack smaller than the porpous. NICE video. These are the resident whales we don't see on the east coast.

@sweetypie000 Yes you are wrong actually... "theres no white on them...... killer whales ? ummmm..." you were implying that they were not orcas, when in fact they are. I am not embarassed, if anything you should be, I was just stating two facts. One being that these whales are in fact orcas and the second being your lack of intelligence. I'm not trying to "somehow justify myself", stop trying to seem smart on the internet, I'm sure you already know it but you really aren't.

Emily Goldstein - 14 years ago

@LukeShetler There is not one documented case of an orca eating humans. Any time an orca has killed a human, it has been in captivity - where orcas behave more aggressively. Transient killer whales hunt marine mammals, as you said, like whale calves. They kill whale calves to consume the tongue. Humans are not natural prey of orcas, therefore they do not hunt us. And not every orca hunts mammals - there are pods called residents that feed exclusively on fish, which these most likely are.

You never know what they might be able to accomplish if they had an opposing thumb. That one feature is required in addition to intelligence for one to rise to the top of the food chain.

Tatiana Villanueva - 14 years ago

That is so amazing but I probably, no, I would have had a heart attack right then and there! I'm so terrified of Orcas.. When I was a kid my sisters held me down and made me watch Free Willy.... Lol.. Amazing experience though, glad you were able to share it!

scrubbin627 - 14 years ago

I would have shit my pants

rfgstl - 14 years ago

The big debates on here crack me up lol! Killer whales, sharks, other marine life...all simply extraordinary and powerful creatures to me. Science isn't needed to prove that at all, just look at them :)

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

Second thing. The notion "trial and error" is Nature's main learning process is flat out false. For an altricial human being, ok yes that's true. For a precocial animal that learns to run or hunt in a week? Uh, no. Nature endows both predators and prey with survival strategies. If every animal had to rely on trial and error to know what a poisonous/dangerous creature was, fewer genes would be passed to the next generation. Instinct teaches over animal's limited cognitive abilities.

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

I think you are relying on speculative assumptions that disregard known scientific facts. Sharks are opportunisitc, generalist feeders. Why speculate that a shark "mistakenly" attacked a known prey item (humans)? There has never been a time, era or historical period where sharks didn't attack and eat people. H. erectus colonized Java, what 2mm years ago? How did humans not come into contact with sharks along the Zambezi river? These facts disprove the speculation they don't "know" what we are.

nat365 - 14 years ago

We are making similar points, the big difference being you seem to think a shark would never, ever make a hunting mistake, while I say that while some may target people deliberately, the idea that a shark could mistake a person for something else is perfectly credible. Just because an animal is sophisticated doesn't mean there is no room for error; trial and error is nature's main learning process. I'd bet most sharks have never even seen a human. There are far more of them in the ocean than us

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

Dogs "bite" people. True shark attacks are when sharks bite people and eat parts of our bodies. Sharks are not "territorial" and do not attack people like a nesting crocodile would attack a human. Sharks attack due to hunger. The fact they eat a single limb or half a person doesn't prove they "didn't intend" on doing what the predator (ahem) just did.

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

Second thing. I very much believe that Tiger/Bull/White/Oceanic Whitetips ALL are "sophisiticated" enough to know what humans are and be able to tell the difference between us and, say, a seal. White sharks do NOT attack humans like they do seals in 90% of the true predation events. As an aside, do lions know what everything on the savannah is? Do eagles know what everything is? Nature endows predators with amazing instincts. I don't know the mechanism is is given; isn't all trial and error.

nat365 - 14 years ago

Of course they know the difference in taste - which is why more people are bitten then eaten. Also, you undermine yourself - a shark would not target a person instead of a seal, because a seal is indeed 'fat-rich' and therefore better to eat. But if it thinks a person is a seal, because they are on a surf board or the way they sound when swimming... Also, they can't just 'know' what a person is, they have to experience them. You don't know whether something's good to eat until you bite it.

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

I'm not "ignoring" it. When a camera is placed underwater, MOST White sharks avert the attack at the last second. But they are coming up at, what 50-80mph? I just don't think it is relevant to "disprove" human predation. Isn't that what "mistaken identity" theory is all about? As for "mouthing/exploratory" behavior, this is obviously NOT predation. But we are talking about two different things. The man killed a month ago at Fish Hoek was consumed by the White shark. It was feeding itself.

nat365 - 14 years ago

So you're ignoring the fact that white sharks have consistently attacked decoy seals made of rubber being pulled along behind boats? Clearly because they think they're seals, even though there's no electro magnetic current, no scent, nothing except visual and sound? Ok then. Look, I'm not saying deliberate attacks don't happen, but sharks are not so sophisticated that they know everything in the sea. Their senses are for finding things - exploratory bumps/bites are for figuring them out.

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

It is disingenous at best to posit that such a finely tuned predator would have such a strident evolutionary disadvantage of not being able to identify, more importantly, differentiate between a fat-rich prey item (seals) and low-fat prey item (humans) without biting into it. Even if that were the case, after a shark bites into a human, surely you cannot credibly contend that the shark doesn't know the difference in taste? Neither make logical sociobiological, evolutionary or practical sense.

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

You incorrectly presuppose that, for example, the White shark's perceptive faculties cannot identify an object without biting into it. Where is the evidence for such a proposition? As for sharks biting into boats or inanimate objects, I don't see how that is relevant to the theory of mistaken idenity. Sharks dont have hands to investigate foreign objects. But humans & their progenitors are hardly "foreign objects." We are 110% edible. We have a constant, unbroken course of dealing w/ sharks.

nat365 - 14 years ago

Orcas take the time to figure out what they're attacking. Sharks do not. If they think it might be food, they go for it, if they're not sure what it is, they go for it. All their senses (electricity, blood, sight) tell them that something is there, and that it might be food, so they attack because it's probable. Also, who says our body's electro magnetic current is so different from a seal? Sharks may be able to sense that current, but who says that they can read the current so finely?

nat365 - 14 years ago

Sharks don't always take the time to figure out what something is before they bite it (in fact, they often bite to find out) - otherwise the phenomenon of sharks biting boats or other inanimate things would make no sense. Also, sharks attack decoy seals all the time, there are a lot of videos of it, and the decoys do not emit current, or bleed or smell; they just look and move like seals, and the sharks see that from underneath and attack because of it. They stop when they realise it's not food.

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

Last thing. "Mistaken identity theory totally disregards the sharks uniquely adapted perceptive faculties OTHER than sight, e.g., ampullae of lorenzini, hearing, smell and lateral lines. ALL of these enable sharks to quickly identify and differentiate potential meals. The human being does NOT emit the same electro magnetic current as a seal, a turtle or any marine creature at close range.The "theory" turns the science of the shark's lateral lines and other perceptive faculties on its head.

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

You are making an unfounded assumption based on mere statistical interpretation. It may sound "logical" to you, but the phenomena of human predation abides, e.g., youtube search "shark takes woman's leg." The shark was migrating, hungry and realized a feeding opportunity. The fact "there aren't more shark attacks" is immaterial to understanding the shark's intention under the instant facts. Humans are a known, tertiary prey item. Sharks are opportunistic, generalist feeders. Case closed.

kmkfiction2 - 14 years ago

Nothing about the differences between orca & sharks tends to support mistaken identity theory for sharks. The notion that a White/Tiger/Bull shark could "mistake" a human being it has just bumped, smelled and/or tasted to be a seal or other marine life that has a distinctive smell/taste is silly. These sharks are ALL opportunistic, generalist feeders. That is why Tigers and Oceanic Whitetips congregate at maritime disasters, i.e., to eat people. A human is a "distressed animal" in that instance

enzarto - 14 years ago

@dobiemama100 so true, i would love to do this one day.

nat365 - 14 years ago

I'm not saying every shark attack is a case of mistaken identity. They are opportunistic predators in a way that orcas aren't, and thus could well attack a person knowing full well that they weren't a seal. However, if sharks were completely aware of people, it follows pretty logically that there would be a lot more shark attacks than there are. After all, lions that get a taste of humans often go rogue and start hunting us. If we were actually on their list attacks would be far more frequent.

nat365 - 14 years ago

Sharks recognise things in a different way, so yes a shark could be fooled where an orca would not be. They see and hear better than sharks, and their echo location allows them to know the specific shapes of things. Also, there's usually a group of them, so they can confer about what something is. The way we swim sounds like a distressed animal (we splash a lot), the shadow of a man on a surfboard looks like a seal from below (even to a person) but would not sound like one (echolocation).

FalaProMundo - 14 years ago

you are a madman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cowman1970 - 14 years ago

I used to have nightmares about Orcas and I don't know why. I still shudder when I watch these videos. I even sat as close as I can to them at Sea World several times and that still didn't help my fear.

mwillblade - 14 years ago

I would have done the same !!

meuntitled - 14 years ago

There are stores from my aria where Killer whales attack and flip over rowboats in the old days and kill the sailer's, this are not friendly nice animals like dolphins, there is a reason they are call "the wolf of the sea" They actually take on and kill big whales like beaked whale, i remember my grandpa telling me store about that, and another store where beaked whale hid under a boat for long time. I have seen them use seal pup as a ball to train hunting, and then leave when he stop moving

Sheryl Kunya Bryner - 14 years ago

This was shot off the West Coast of San Juan Island, Washington State. I live here year round and the best time to catch them is over the summer. Kayaking is great or if you want to stay on land, there's always Lime Kiln Whale Watch Park. They are just amazing in person!

Sammie Sea - 14 years ago

Does anyone know where this video was taken? I am taking a trip to B.C. this summer and was hoping that some of you might be able to tell me where the best place to find these wonderful creatures would be? Also what time of year is the best time of year to watch them. I will also be taking some kayaking time and hope to catch some glimpses of these creatures

Sydney-anne - 14 years ago

wow that really would have been an amazing expirence but they are dolphins not whale so you might want to change your description:)

fred59fr - 14 years ago

really lucky...that was be dangerous

nat365 - 14 years ago

And I will second torinNZ. It is a punishable offense to chase them or deliberately get close (I think partly because with bigger boats they could be hurt by the propellors) but if they come towards you it's absolutely fine. There's no 'run away at top speed' rule, simply a 'don't chase' rule. If this were not the case, then all whale watching would be illegal.

DerangedFox - 15 years ago

dude28mack, that video was proven to be fake. There is no evidence that any orca has acted aggressively upon anyone sea kayaking. They were amateurs on vacation with a guide. People often seek adventerous vacations with their time off. And nowadays we have guidance and equipment to experience the wonder and beauty of these whales. This was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for these folks. I find it rude for you to chastise them for having an inspiring experience. Maybe you're jealous.

how do you say "don't eat me" in Orcanese?? In case, I get too scare. I scream that S**T out. " YUMMY YUMMY NO NO"

kmkfiction2 - 15 years ago

You are right about Orcas, but do you really think sharks' keen perceptive faculties cannot differentiate between a fur seal and human in a wetsuit? "Mistaken identity" theory with sharks has no basis in Science- it is pure speculation and seems to presuppose facts that explain away predation that coincides w/ sharks' ecological niche. True or False.

kmkfiction2 - 15 years ago

Orcas do not have aggression? Towards people, yes. Aside from people, however, it is difficult to find a species with more aggression. See, e.g., Orcas off Patagonia. I make these inferences dispassionately and with immense love and respect for them.

generaloflight - 15 years ago

They are lucky they all aren't DEAD. They aren't called Killer Whales for nothing! If they were hungry at that time of the day, those kayakers would be TOAST! Don't gimme that bullcrap about "being safe unless you're smaller than a 5 year old" These whales have great white sharks AND grey whale calves as appetizers!

RCasto - 15 years ago

wow!

vampireprince5006 - 15 years ago

actully, unless you were in the water, and about the size of a of a five year old, they wouldnt mess with you, you might get a small bite but thats it, one of the safest times in my mind to be in the ocean is around killer whales, they feed on sharks, and they dont attack humans, i personnly use to surf, use to swim in the ocean, but decided, its not were i belong, and i dont want to be bitten then have a man haunt out for the animal that bit me so im sticking to pools, even thought i miss it

MANUAIM - 15 years ago

Yeah...I don't want any problems with anyone on youtube over this video lol....These people kayacking are extremely brave even to the point where one can easily call them "not smart" for doing it! Yes Killer whales are cool to look at but ah be even praying for the professionals that work at Sea World during the shows they have!!! Serious question for you?!?! You think they really understand these are literal killing machines who are extremely smart & for protein kill Great Whites?!?!?

MANUAIM - 15 years ago

LOL huh....Seriously they have guts of steel! LOL but they playing gin rummy with uno cards.....Bro. I think Orcas are cool they are my favorite WILD KILLING MACHINES of the Ocean..I just wouldn't kayack with them. Yes Sir...No videos on Orcas attacking the kayackers....But I don't wanna wonder why? It scares me... Peace : ^ )

MANUAIM - 15 years ago

Let me go look outside,,,,okay...Honestly I don't! I live in Condo's & there are no powerlines I see hanging anywhere near me. I do drive on the freeway with cars going at least 70 to 80 an hour that drive pass me often though;nevertheless, if you meant to say there is everyday dangers or something similar I agree.... But kayacking with Orcas....Think about this & let it simmer for a moment! KYYYACKING WITHHHHHH KILLLLLLLER WHALLEEESSSS.. Come on bro. this is not wise! Seriously!

MANUAIM - 15 years ago

I know that this is a hobby for some people. But think about it & this is why I also said YHWH i.e. GOD forbid this from happening...But those kayacks are extremely small & all it would take is for the oceans most fierce killing machine to MALFUNCTION (from being politically correct to hobbying kayackers) & spy hop on the kayack or simply knock it over & be wild orcas then what? Then it will another news tragedy etc. it's not worth their lives! Btw there R more clips then just the CNN clip!

jonmcfarlenbager - 15 years ago

that is so incredibly dangerous. ahahahahhaha you gotz balls son.

MANUAIM - 15 years ago

What would you guys do if they just spy hopped on top of you kayak's... Like seriously you guys think this is cool but it's not smart at all..... I just seen a video where the orcas were teaching their young ones how to hunt & they had witty tactics to get the seals off of the huge blocks of ice! Ice much bigger than those kayak's! YHWH forbid nothing ever happens to you dudes... I think you are very ignorant for it though! What if the whales have a bad day & want to hurt something?

kasey neil - 15 years ago

And by the way, Orcas are whales. They're killer whale but are in the dolphine family. Type c is the smallest and lives in larger groups than any other type. Its eyepatch is distinctively slanted forwards, instead of parallel to the body axis. Like Type B. It has a dorsal cape. Its only prey observed so far is the Antarctic Cod. Males are typically from 6-8 m long which is19-26 ft and weigh about 6 tonnes. Females are smaller, ranging from 5-7 m about 16-23 ft and weighs 3 to 4 tons.

kasey neil - 15 years ago

Naw really, I know that. They are in the dolphin family. There are type A,B, and C orcas. They feed on sea lions, seals, walruses, and even large whales. They're considered the apex predator of the marine world. There are up to five distinct Killer Whale types. They're highly social which means they do not known to hurt humans. Type B and C whales liveAntarctic ice pack and are a different species. Type B is smaller than type A. Type A looks like a typical killer whale and eat Minke Whales.

Negative Zero Media - 15 years ago

ok calm down - I didnt say anything about attacking humans, and I didnt say that they shouldnt kill things, I just said they are not nice animals. And the Orcas in the Documentary were wild, not caged. Calm down.

Negative Zero Media - 15 years ago

the orca is not a nice whale... I saw a documentary on them and they were killing baby whales. And by the way Orcas are not whales, they are a from of dolphin. They are called 'Killer Whales" because they kill whales.

Figuin Rox - 15 years ago

that's scary

kasey neil - 15 years ago

It's not that they're dangerous. You just have to be carfull. If thy were dangerous then they would have fliped them in the kayak. Or jusmped out of the water and land on top of them. I don't think orcas are bothered by humans unless humans are trying to hurt them. If orcas see you're struggleing to stay above the waterm not garunteeing but they would probably come up from underneith you and give you support. Ever saw Free Willy? It may be a movie but it's based on how orcas really are.

kasey neil - 15 years ago

Well I admit I would be nurvous but I don't think they would harm you intentionaly.

kasey neil - 15 years ago

Actually if they were to flip over, the orcas would probably save they or help them. Killer whales have that instinked. It's like they can sence when a person is in danger.

kasey neil - 15 years ago

Well I'm sure when you see a 6,000lb killer whale coming at you or swimming 3 ft. away from you, even though they're friendly wonderful creatures, I'm sure you would at least get a little freaked out lol. Where can you go to purchase kayaks and tours with orcas?? Do you know? And no I'm not being sarcastic I'm serious.
