When an Orca Wants to Eat a Whale's Tongue

Not true. Herbivores are animals, and they do not eat meat, so your comment "Every animal" is wrong. Herbivores only eat plants, they do not and will not "eat the face off" other animals.

This is like a scene off of avatar when the whales fought off the boats

@@Butterfly-mt5ml yea lol it’s been out for a while now

@@20yearsago I’m old. I forget. I forgot. 🤣 Thanks for the unintentional reminder though! 👍🏾😃

@@Butterfly-mt5ml no problem, you should watch it though, it’s a long movie but definitely worth it

No. It's that they ate the tongue. When food is in excess, there's no need to fight over it. No surprise there.

that is the cetacean equivalent of your extended family showing up for a thanksgiving

Body Positivity Gathering at McDonalds.

It was thanksgiving

That must be the most terrifying sight... Like a Piranhas mass feeding frenzy... 6 to 10 meter long ones...

I heard somewhere in KZhead thar "killer whale" was actually a misinterpretation. The name originally was "whale killer", which makes way more sense.

OMG! COOL STORY BRUH!

People who paid attention in school should know this already.

We all have the discovery Channel

I doubt they think it, it's certainly not true. I'm unconvinced they haven't taken us in the wild, it's not like a shark where if they choose to attack they may not finish. That just seems like anthropomorphism, they are apex predators and likely just recognize we are the equivalent of a ketchup packet as far as satiety and nutrition

Apparently Orca pods develop very particular tastes and can be very picky with what they eat, and go to great lengths to hunt their favored prey. An orca pod will often ignore easy prey if it isn't what they prefer. Presumably since orcas would only rarely get an opportunity to eat a human, they never develop a taste for them to begin with.

@@BretekV they are picky, is taste even something they'd consider? They target the liver of great whites, leaving every other bit of tissue behind because of the nutrient dense nature of that organ.

Like all w h ale and Dolphins they have a form off echo location. Meaning they can see right through you and see that you not nearly have enough blubber to be considered good for eating.

Orcas probably don’t snack. Bad for their tooth. Human are all crunchy hones 😢

I can confirm that he’s a orca

😂😂😂

👏👏

Gang orca

I'm not surprised, but how do you find wifi under the sea? And how do you type? By mouth or ass?

You've seen "Blackfish", I am guessing...

Have you ever seen how orcas will work together to create waves to knock seals off the safety of ice. They line up and charge the ice then at last min dip down and shoot their tails up making a waves that will wash a seal off the ice.

@@paulaharrisbaca4851What do you mean?

Right?!!

Me too I watched it a few times in amazement and was surprised nothing was said about it by WATOP!

That footage (or similar) is included in every video that has ever mentioned orcas.

@@MMAFightMagazine well I haven't seen it before and I have watched a few orca videos, so what is your point?

That is why humans should never be over thin ice with Orcas around.

Orcas don't hunt humans.

And now think of what humans do to billions of animals every freaking year. And to each other, like child abusers.

Technically Orcas and Blue Whales are more distantly related to each other than we are to Orangutans.

@labangrankvist2993 that's crazy.

They’re not the same species. Orcas arent even whales, they’re big dolphins.

Exactly!

Now go and book your Alpha Male course.

one on one , a great white could kill an orca. Great whites teeth are particularly sharp and nasty. However, orcas run in packs sharks do not, it's like angry wolves nipped at your heels from every direction and all at once. Best just to get the hell out of there than to stay and fight such a lopsided battle. Sperm whales like the one is Moby Dick can also kill orcas. kodiak grizzlies and polar bears could kill an orca, they can dig in with their claws and wrestle because like orcas, bears have 4 very long limbs. Orcas could try cornering a grizzly, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be the first one to die as a cornered animal is the most dangerous kind. Also, I think a pride of lions could take on a group of orcas, and one on one,a Tiger or Liger is gonna have a good shot at it, as their strength and lethality is unmatched in the animal kingdom. they don't mind water, they could try to drag a big cat underwater to drown it, however as said earlier, I would not want to be the first one to try to pull this off and get maimed or killed. Also nile crododiles sometimes live so long they can get to be so large that nothing but a shallow water attack from elephants or a big pride of lions beat them. also I think crocodiles have better underwater vision than land predators. don't screw with crocodiles they swim fast like a torpedo underwater and can live in freshwater or salt water shaboing!?! :O :O :O

And I feel like the rare lone wolf/orca are alone for a variety of reasons: mainly loss of family.

They do.

Turns out that information (like language) doesn't come from nothing. God's Orcas (and everything else) are pretty cool.

Yes, they are actually working with AI’s right now to decipher/translate Sperm whale noises. But scientists have the most recorded sounds from Orcas :)

Are you new to orca's?

Of course this communicate

It's impossible for the whales to get too close to the blue whale like that because the blue whale can release a sound of something something decimals hurting the killer whale if it gets too close to it so I doubt they get close to a full grown blue whale

I feel terrible for the humpback grey and blue whale. But I am so impressed and in awe for how intelligent orcas are. The circle of life

yeah...to think we are gonna really make something similar to natures 22,000 lbs killer whale that's been in evolution for millions of years was a stupid idea. just stick to the fencing that we know, maybe let a few trained guard dogs run rampant along the pier so they can scare off the sealions.

It's not robotic it's a wooden orca with paint

Whales aren't fishes

@@nonhotrovatounnomemigliore9221 I am aware. But it could still apply.

@@skandol8650 No. That has nothing to do with it.

They need to breath. They have to come up to the surface. This here has nothing to do with deep sea gigantism.

@@CordeliaWagner well scientists are still trying to figure it out. So I don't think you get to just say that isn't the reason. 🤷🏽‍♂️

There is already an animal called sea lion.

sea bear like the one in spongebob

You ever been to the Southern Ocean?

I believe they have the alias of “sea wolves”

Well with the rising humpback whales it might be possible that it happens much more often

😂😂😂

It is a ai voice ive heard it used on other channels like this one about military stuff (forgot the name)

It’s a voice actor they hire. I’ve heard the same voice in What If. and Snapchat stories and other things

Sounds almost identical to seth rogan in my opinion.

It's not A.I., well, unless it learned how to add pauses mid-word and an inflection. I'm sure that it's possible but this sounds like a V.A.

@@Adstew yea actually a little bit lol

I hate how he Pronounces Astoria and Oregon!

If memory serves they're the only pod that do it as they've learnt it, and it caused all the sharks in the area to dissappear for years. That's how they found the smell of dead shark is extremely potent to other sharks, great documentary about it! But usually they just ignore each other because the risk vs reward is too high for them to engage one another, that pod aside

@@joshyc2006 I'm sure you're right. That is spectacular footage. I think I'm going to have to look it up later when I get the chance. I hope you have a wonderful day/night!

Sharks are very acidic, they are supposed to taste like rotten piss when not prepared. That's why Orcas only eat the liver. Meat eating humans eat Liver too, Foie de Grasse was a delicacy before it became illegal.

@@CordeliaWagner Ya, I don't think I would have eaten goose liver. Just like I won't eat veal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a vegetarian. I'm just not interested in some meat items.

There was an incident near the Farallon Islands some years back that may be what you're referring to. The way I recall the story, a great white was attempting to take a seal away from the orca which had killed it. The orca rammed the shark, stunning it, then flipped it on it's back until the shark suffocated/drowned. (Some species of sharks cannot pump water through their gills, and need to keep swimming.) The orca then ripped the shark open and ate it's liver. There's also a pod of orcas that showed up off the coast of South Africa in the early 2000s. It's the area where the "Air Jaws" shows were filmed. The sharks left the area and moved to a location quite a distance away after at least 5 great white bodies washed up on shore with their livers missing. The orca pod was easily identifiable as two of the males had collapsed dorsal fins, and had been nicknamed "Port" and "Starboard" for the side the fin ended up. There are also orcas near New Zealand who hunt sharks and stingrays as a major part of their diet.

Orcas can differ between boats and humans. And the were never hunted for food. Your story makes no sense.

@cordeliawagner3758 His 'story' is a joke setting up an oral sex innuendo punchline. ;)

@@CordeliaWagner you say my story doesnt make sense because orcas can identify boats, even though in my story I said the whales identified the boats 🤨 The fact that I said the whales were talking should’ve been your first indication this was a joke and not a story 🤦‍♂️ Also… I said whales. Not orcas. You assumed that because it was on a video about orcas that when I said whales I meant orcas. Your ignorance is astonishing. 🤨

@@CordeliaWagner if you didnt get that one… this one will blow your mind 😜 How do you circumcise a killer whale? With four skindivers. Ok, so that is a joke. Not a story. Its a “play on words” that only people fluent in sarcasm will get, so I will type this slow for you… Its a joke, or pun, about a very large foreskin. Not meant to be factual or accurate. 🤦‍♂️ no skindivers were harmed in this story

What’s the time stamp I didn’t see

Well, right now a bunch of animals -- the "Russians" pack -- are fighting another bunch of animals -- the "Ukrainians" pack -- while various animals such as Americans and Poles encourage them from the sidelines. Isn't nature fascinating? Speaking as a lifelong animal, I appreciate this :)

That all depends on the numbers there is a time and a place for culling orca if there numbers become a problem 😉

@@jamieoliver3262 yeah I'm notice there's no discussion of culling despite orcas not being endangered and their hunting behavior being learned. So were sitting by going "ooh so mysterious is nature" while orcas do shit like hunt kill highly endangered whale calfs, kill and run off great whites from their spawing grounds and terrorize seals starving polar bears. Like if it was normal behavior, yeah it is what it is. Bit orcas learn and they absolutely kill for fun and are very wasteful hunters. They have been doing shit like the one pod killing blue whale calves for their tongue and maybe liver. Theres another pod eating shark livers off south Africa disrupting the entire ecosystem...culls seem in order but nope

I feel you. I know it’s a balance of nature, and I’m a whale lover-but I cannot “get behind” orcas. They are the only whale I just don’t like, as they take out species I do like. It’s not logical, I know. But it’s how my gut reacts.

I wouldn't mind. But KZhead wants everything "family friendly".

@@khancrow7015 pity YT forgets it is ONLY A PLATFORM!

You'll still end up with "Orca" and "Whale" after some time. They're not evolving, even though they might have characteristics in their DNA that become dominant according to their environment; as is prudent of all the unused genetic material to swap out what's needed. - Evolution doesn't work and has been disproven time and time again.

Do u think either will make its way back to living on land with all the beachings

@@CordeliaWagner - When WATOP often changes their video title, so I put it in the comments, in case they change it later.

Definitely. There's even a video, of a diver whom was suddenly confronted by a Hump Back Whale which continuously pushed her in the direction of her boat. And no matter what the diver did, the Hump Back kept circling around her and pushing her towards her boat. Turns out, there was a Tiger Shark in the area and the Hump Back was trying to protect her.

Yes u are absolutely RIGHT !!!!!!! HOLLYWOOD SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THE ORCAS IN EDEN AUSTRALIA HELPING THE WHALE HUNTERS BY THEIR OWN DECISION. ORCAS THINK AND DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES , NOBODY ASKED OR TRAINED THEM TO DO SO. FAR BETTER THAN SHEEP DOGS I VE BOUGHT THE BOOK !!!!! ORCAS ARE V SPECIAL BEINGS AND CAPABLE TO DO MANY UNIQUE THINGS THAT FASCINATES ME ! SUCH AS GIVING PRESENTS TO HUMANS LIKE AN ORCA OFFERED A DIVER FROM NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC A PIECE OF STINGRAY TO SHOW FRIENDSHIP I VE READ IT. IN A BOOK ABOUT WHALES. ALSO A GROUP. OF DOLPHINS IN BRASIL , IN LAGUNA I BELIEVE AND ANOTHER COUNTRY HELPED. FOR MANY MANY YEARS. FISHERMEN. TO CATCH FISH BY THEIR OWN DECISION. ORCAS ARE DOLPHINS , BOTH INCREDIBLE BUT ORCAS EVEN MORE AND HOW MUCH ORCAS LOVE MUSIC EVEN MORE THAN HUMANS IT IS AMAZING !!!!!;!!!!!!;!! ORCAS❤ ORCAS❤ ORCAS❤❤

It's called the killers of eden

It was a marine biologist working off the Cook Islands. She revisits the humpback regularly.

Orcas is a killing machine alldo I don't like orcas.

@@whiteking8341 orcas are the coolest smartest animals out there. They deserve to be killing machines if they want to be

I mean , we humans are killing machine. Killing in order to eat is the way of the nature. That's what every single organism is doing down here. Killing in order to survive.

I don't eat fish. Empty Oceans is why Orcas don't find enough food.

humans are nature though, pretty invasive but when food becomes less avaible it'll balance itself usually. Look at viruses or ants, large populations either macro or microscpic always follow the same trends. Waste disposal has evolved but needs some extra advancements, but population growth and wealth inequality is a bigger threat I think. Fishers do follow rendability rules against over fishing these days

Payback whale

All orcas are basically the same size. The difference is some are transients that eat marine mammals and some are residents that eat only fish.

I was coming to.say the same.thing. They said it isn't humans fault that orcas are starting to feed on larger whales more frequently. But really, it is. Between pollution and over fishing, species are dying more and more causing there to be less and less for the predators, in turn, causing them to turn to other sources for food.

Actually the Spanish sailors gave orcas the name killer of whales henceforth killer whale

That´s strange behavior from Orcas as they usually do not attack humans nor boats. Something humans do along that coast has upset them. Orcas are extremely smart and do not tend to see humans as a threat, in contrary they like human attention

Whalami pirates

They don't attack humans. Get some education.

JunkFood addicts wake up and waddle to McDonalds...

Who cares

So are you gonna make China stop? Its not the us causing the problem, not by catch and not by consumption. Americans eat very little fish, alot of it is farmed inland anyway and the rest is the same 4 heavily regulated species we catch in out own territorial waters. China on the other hand has been sending massive floating factories into protected waters like off the galapagos and yes even into Alaska and the uk because what are you gonna do about it.

I hate seafood YUCK! give me a nice bloody steak! Yummy

Humback own calf also get killed and eaten in front of their eyes by orcas while orca didn't yet feel the killing of a child infront of a mother and being dinner of someone's who recently killed her child so stop your over love for orca, humpback try but they get succeed sometimes and sometimes not and it take time so child got killed, I hope orca get wipe out because they are letterally like human who kill for their benefit, shark also do hunt whale but eat them whole not like eat a special area of a child and then search another and do the same with them, filling a belly of orca is take 3 10 whale children's tongue but shark only take one whale calf even hardly

@@noelhalwick1568 As long as we're still consuming dairy products, there will always be steak as a byproduct. Hopefully in the future lab-grown meat will help take the pressure off, which will reserve actual cow meat for nice steaks instead of, like, pizza beef.

"They're", even.

That whale they killed is not a bully at all

What would’ve been the difference if you got here a month later? The video would still be exactly the same

Lol cool story bro

Dolphins *ARE* whales. Dolphins, whales, and porpoises are all cetaceans. Dolphins and porpoises are just small, toothed whales.
