On the all day trip April 27th, 2019, we witnessed 5 transient Killer Whales attack and kill a Gray whale from start to finish. Sit back, relax, and enjoy watching nature at its finest.
Hard to watch but it's the circle of life...the worst part for me is the mom is right there and cant do anything about it.
Sarah S well by the looks of it the mum was also killed!
@@pepitoaus the mother didn't die in the video. The mother did everything she could but in the end, killer whales are stronger. This happens more than we realize, the mothers know they are defeated and swim away.
sometimes Moms nothing in their hands to do :( i wish my Mom forgive me
Sarah S if you compare the sizes of the whales, you would notice the last remaining whale is the mother (larger than any other killer whale) which get dragged under and already looks in bad shape.
I agree you that point, I am a mother and if I could not help my baby I would die and feel so bad all over.
Must’ve been scary when the baby realized the mom was gone and it was alone with all those whales
Given how floppy it was and how much blood it was vomiting I'd say it was already basically dead
@@dolphingoreeaccount7395 Doubtful. You can see it breathing throughout the whole video :(
@dolphingoreeaccount7395 unfortunately orcas usually do not kill their victims right away. Especially for larger prey like gray whales. Usually they manage a few bites and leave their victim bleed to death or they try to drown it
@@katerinaaqu Why do you suppose they do that?
@@winkleberrygangIf I understand it correctly, they are only after the tongue. Once they get what they need they leave which generally means the whales drown and/or bleed to death
I'm a grown man of 40 yet this is so darn difficult to watch! Utterly heart breaking.
In the near future we may not see the big whales for real just because of killing whales they are scary and cruel indeed😢
grow up the orcas need to eat to on there long migrating journey
@@wichienkocharee9793There's no malice in the actions of orcas (or any predator), they are simply doing their assigned role in the ecosystem, that being predation.
Saddest part is the mom trying to keep baby afloat, baby trying to stay close, but orcas hitting precisely over and over and momma can't do anything :c
I hate when people make the argument that animals can’t feel emotion. You can visibly see the mother trying to defend her baby and being heartbroken by the outcome.
it’s especially sad because she’s so large, it’s easy for the killer whales to take down her calf but there’s not much she can do to stop it from happening. it’s nature at its finest, but you know that momma whale was grieving
They say EVERYTHING with their sight, is the most AMAZING ANIMAL IN THE WORLD THE MEXICAN GRAY WHALE ♥️🐳.
Killer Whales, ruthless badasses
@@Nesa.007 There is nothing badass about about Orcas. Even Lions will still be near the top of the food chain if they were to hunt alone, while Orcas will be at the medium if they weren't in pods.
Delta bro its straight nature they do it to survive,
All that's missing is a narration from David Attenborough.
I'm glad he's not there, he'd just blame global warming for the attack
You're right..👍
@@scottwall3095 i mean David is right about global warming my dude
@@scottwall3095 lmfaoo what
OMG Yes!
The poor calf keep trying to get onto it’s mother’s back and you can just feel the hopelessness the mother whale feels
@HexTech Nobody in this comment section has no feeling for a baby cattle being separated from his/her mother cow, before being brutally killed in a slaughterhouse. Only feel outrage of a pod of orcas killing a Mother & baby whale for food, but no outrage over a cow having her baby taken away to the slaughterhouse.
@@ShiningGalaxy01 man has dominion over all living things! Get over yourself vegan
Even though this video was 8:45 this went on for well over an hour. I’m sure it was absolute torture for the whale calf.😢
It so sad 😭😭
Just the way it goes in the natural world. Not all pretty roses. Some make it, some don't.
@@rushofbon okay? We know, its still brutal
@Richie T. That was an adult male whale, not a calf. Male gray whales are smaller than female gray whales. Fucking look that up. Gray whale calves are no where bigger than a 30 feet Transient Male orca. These Orca pods use a powerful shockwave attack to stun their prey to death, including these whales they are moving around, and eating. Inuits harpooned endangered baby Bowhead whales in the back, and don't even stun the whale(they give the endangered baby whale they are hunting, a very slow painful death), now where do I see anyone hating Inuits for torturing their hunt to death(which the government of alaska, and canada is allowing)?
@@besim109AOG Harpooning a whale is brutal, but not for these Transient orcas stunning their prey to death. Whalers don't stun the whale to death, instead, they use a harpoon to give the whales so much great tremendous pain, and a very slow death. Both Icelanders, Faroese, Norwegians, and Eskimos don't even stun the whale when killing them.
Wow! You feel sorry for the baby whale, but can't help but marvel at the precise coordination and execution of the Orcas.
That's my angle and what I admire here. Those head shots had that baby whale leaking. The killer whales are smaller but smarter and use teamwork to eat and survive
Like a true wolf pack, amazing, they are the velociraptors of the ocean🤔
Man, Orcas are my Favorite. Luv how coordinate shit before they do it.
Lamar Taylor The calf was bleeding because the Orcas bit off part of its tongue, not from the head butts. They go after the baby’s tongue and soft lower jaw area and leave the rest. There was another video on this channel where a bull Orca ripped out a calf’s entire tongue with one body roll. It was brutal but...hey...circle of life.
The Orcas are the OG's of the ocean. I'll take the orca over a great white any day. This is one gang you just dont mess with!
Usually I never feel emotional seeing anything hunted by another animal as it is part of how nature works. But something about whales.... seeing them die is heart breaking for me. Especially this mother with her baby. Their distress is something else as they are extremely intelligent.
Yeah, but the killer whale is an interesting apex predator. It plays with it's prey and has more than one target prey. I do feel bad for anything that is being hunted by an Orca. I don't feel so bad for bad in other forms of nature when the predator has a single prey and survival depends on the hunt.
Even the mom waited 60 days to get a baby but the orcas showed up and thr baby tried to defend hitting the orcas and the mom can't do anything poor Grey whales a baby Grey whale hitting a orca the orca is a same size of a Grey whale prey for all animals God gave us
Yep. Ive seen tons of the predator kills/eats prey clips over the years. This particular one hits different. Very gut wrenching to say the least.......
Orcas are also extremely intelligent probably more intelligent than grey whales and I would be sad ti see them die of hunger
There are sharks that those killer whales could have been hunting. Grey whales are not only intelligent but considered the “friendly whales “ they are curious and swim right up to boats… 💔
8:24 that last gasp of air before it eventually gets dragged down. Orcas really are the apex predators of the sea.
If they could walk, they'd be the apex predators of land as well.
@@danieldevito6380 not really we humans found a way to hunt them in water they have yet to find a way to hunt us on land
I saw saltwater crocodile eating orca stucked on beach.
0:13 the orca came just in the right angle and spins the water with its fluke to turn the whale. Orcas are amazing, they are not just smart they even have something like culture. In different places they speak and eat different. Very interesting.
there to many Orca and it will kill all food so their will go after human to in the end those that on or in the sea.
They know exactly what they are doing.
Poor baby whale was just tryn to stay close to its mother.
Scott Worley yes but the baby killer whale needs to eat too.
Scott Worley it was, they separate the calf then drown it.
😩😩😩😩😩😩
They only attack whales when they have nothing else to prey on, like fish! Because man has raped the oceans and now enjoys spectacles in nature like this for his sick amusement I pray for Armageddon
Poor baby whale and his mother
I know this is part of the circle of life but this is the most heartbreaking video I've ever watched of a baby whale being attacked and taken away from its mother then killed. My heart goes out to all the animals in this world. The fight to live another day goes on for predator and for prey! 😔😢🐋🌊💔
You realize people are the worst animals of all right?
@@chuckjones6914 - Yeah they are because People have choices to do what's right or wrong, but animals are only doing what they have to in order to survive each day. People do things because they just want to do it because it's fun or they enjoy the feeling it gives them when they're doing it...not out of necessity. Like I said before, I understand that animals have to kill in order to survive but most people don't have to do it in order to survive, but this documentary isn't about people it's about the animals.
Well if it wasn’t for slaughter houses in operation around the world then all people would have to kill in order to survive
@@Imhimhesme209 - well you see now that's where you're wrong cuz I for one don't eat meat so therefore I don't need any animals slaughtered or killed in order to survive. I survive just fine on what I eat so that statement doesn't apply to everyone...ok
Think the music made it a lot worse as well 😢
She fought for her life till the end.
Could have been a he
Yeah but it's hard to outrun orcas, they will eventually get their kill, no matter which animal, they don't care.
The relentless precision and effectiveness of Orcas attacking in a coordinated manner is a marvel of nature.
The way this mother whale fought for her baby was amazing!!! She literally stayed with her baby til the very end. This is a sad yet triumphant video!
Yes brave mother & really sad....You could see that she tried to keep under the baby to protect it from them until it got separated from her.....
Meanwhile!! ...in a human abortion clinic! It's amazing the lengths a mother in the animal kingdom will go to, to protect her child. Humanity, could afford to take a page, or two, from such a beastial playbook. Then again, humans, are nothing more than, evil, hairless monkeys, who learned how to fashion tools, to become the most dangerous threat to the planet itself. What can one really expect?
Triumphant huh ? It should be your family member killed in such a Triumphant way :D
@@infernalstryfe I agree. humans will literally just throw their baby away if it's convenient.
@@squash2097 Or, far worse, have weaponized their child, as an instrument of destruction, in a nasty divorce/custody case. It's like the song by Pat Benatar, "Hell is for Children." We, as a society, create such daemons, & yet still believe, we are entitled to claim victim hood, when they unleash their wrath, & vengeance, to burn the village to the ground, just to have some warmth in their abused, & damaged lives.
We know whales are complex creatures, I can’t imagine what it must be like to watch your baby calf being beaten and ripped to shreds....while the comments saying “it’s nature” are correct, I do feel like “empathy” is also human nature.
True, it's nature, as in, a fallen world corrupted by violence. A far cry from paradise which will be restored by God one day... If people had any heart at all, they would feel sorrow for an unjust killing such as this. As a mother, I certainly feel empathy for a mother who was raising her baby and had it ripped from her by a gang of Orcas who only wanted her baby's tongue. Animal or human, empathy is important.... They are beautiful creatures and the filming is excellent, but I'm waiting for the day when there will be no more violence like this against anyone.....
@@brendaann727 I completely agree! That was senseless violence!
@@brendaann727 This isn't violence this is surviving what hell do you want them to eat?!🤷♀️
@@breannagrey560 They are apex, they have a plenty to choose from. The ocean is a grocery store for them.
@@bmshaven So let me get this straight. You’re outraged over the fact that the orca killed a baby whale, and your argument is that it could have...killed anything else instead? Lmfao 😂😂😂
People don’t realize how hard an Orca can ram. The faster and heavier the animal, the greater the force. For a full grown killer whale, that’s 480,000 foot pounds of energy . To put that in perspective, that’s equivalent of a rockets initial thrust into outer space.
Or a fully powered punch from captain falcon.
Wow that's strong
You forget how that one orca died at SeaWorld from being rammed.. and bled out
Rubbish
I’ve searched for this info online and can’t find anything about their ram force, where’d you see it?
What Drone did you film with?
That baby gave up a valiant fight for life, trying to roll each time a ram attack was incomming and managed to survive so much longer then I have seen any other calf Orcas attack.....usually once the Mother Whale has had to make the choice to abandon baby before they are both killed and leaves Orcas finsh the calf within a minute holding it down to drown....this one fought on for an amazing long time afterwards
Yes. This one was actually that smart.. it also never got separated from its mother and stay close to her
I know. And the original video is two hours long. That baby fought for two hours.
Oh I'm sure you've witnessed orcas attacking a whale calf hundreds of times
@@DirtyMikeHoncho No not a hundred times...more like 10...i live in BC Canada and we have Orcas here all year round as well as on the grey whale migration route
@@maliaalexisbarnes2387 wow two hours, di you have some link to original video?
There's almost nothing the whale could have done. The only thing that the whales have is that the ocean is such a vast space that this type of encounter is just very rare.
I believe adult baleen whales are faster than orcas. And can fight back, if slower. But yes calves are vulnerable.
This isn't rare, they hunt the calves.
@@samoanbiscuit8795 not so much as faster but have way more stamina and are more energy efficient and typically can just outdive orcas into deeper depths.
The way the orcas dance around the two whales ceaselessly is absolutely incredibly beautiful and sadistic. The choreography is perfect ! The coordination incredible with orcas swimming under , jumping over their preys with grace and elegance in an infinite ballet with only one outcome : death !
Yes ! The fate of the ocean lies in the maintainers of the sea: orcas ! They move swiftly, yet with precision and coordination. The epic tragedy of this is the feeing that you can’t do anything about it, but it’s okay. 👍 otherwise, you too would perish at the fins of the hated, yet beloved: orca ! If you are still interested in this, go out to sea as Ahab once did..you’ll discover you’re inherent nautical abilities and face the raw exposure to sea: life ! Fight the urge to ‘dance’ with these beasts, you are not one of them. Remember where you have come from and what you stand for. You..will..prevail !
@@sephoralee8773 wow !
Yet orcas are smart enough to know to leave humans alone. Makes you wonder why
Sometimes orca kill humans
THis is true of all predators around the globe. We have somehow been pre-programmed to be off the menu. While people do sometimes get eaten, it is not common.
So huge yet so gentle. I wish they cud fight harder than that. I wonder how tragic and intensed the stress call made by the weak calf. He probably screamed so loud for help.. And the mother tried so hard to comfort and be by his side.
Gotta be awful to sit right there and watch your baby get battered and torn apart while screaming with not a single thing to do but watch.
True, she tried to keep the baby above her & close as possible, but no match for those expert killers. The baby was mortally wounded & couldn't stay with her anymore...
So sad, I cried through the whole thing ... I imagine if a violent gang was killing my child how horrible it would be....
I feel very sad, seeing this video when i found out my tears fall into my face. 😢. But that was a circle of life.
@@brendaann727 A baby orca was with that group, mother Killer Whale just trying to feed her child and its nature!
Orcas: has big strategy to take down larger whales and drive off defenders. Also Orcas: Now to only eat the *T O N G U E*
@Granma Grey balls Thanks for the correction. It is fixed now
When u can hunt and kill literally anything, u can afford to be picky.
Tongue and liver are the most beneficial to their health and they know that anytime they decide to hunt they’ll mostly likely be successful being the apex predator allows luxury 😭
*liver for sharks
Actual they consume the entire whale. They just eat the tongue first because is the most nutritious part. But they would eat the animal too.
Me: Lets watch some nature videos to ease my mood. Me after video: Ok thats enough nature for tonight...
Lol
As to what purpose does it serve to keep the calf rolling?
They were ramming into it to hurt it. The spinning is just from being rammed into continuously.
All that and more than likely they only eat the damn tounge of the whale. Unreal. Damn nature you scary
Ticky liver*
@@jurisoiri4075 liver of sharks... tounge of large whales
Remember that the Orcas only eat one part of the blue whale, but once dead it will feed a myriad of other fish down the food chain. Nature wastes nothing.
Pamela Torres it’s very unlikely an orca would attack an adult blue whale
Lmaooooooo dam nature you scary... is that from family guy?
The collision at 20 seconds in is amazing. Just imagine being hit by a train going 40 mph. Surprised that didn’t kill the poor guy. Nature is beautiful and brutal
U R as CORRECT as it gets!
Lol Well that analogy is way over exaggerated. An orca is nothing like a train. A dually truck might be more like it. But yeah, that hit was brutal.
It may kill you since you ar small compared to an orca...but since the calf is bigger, it's just a ko hit
@@usernameonutube stfu
@@usernameonutube ur a fucking psychopath when u get arrested and then come out 20 years later for killing someone come back here and tell me how jail was
Incredible footage. Its amazing to see how one species has adapted so many different styles of hunting. The intelligence, precision and coordination is something we will never fully understand. It may be cruel to us but nature isn't cruel. It's the circle. Never a wasted energy.
And that is why they are referred to as 'killer whales'.
"Never a wasted energy" not true in the slightest lmao, energy is constantly wasted which is why the universe will eventually have no energy left
How could this be "cruel to us" when we slaughter animals by the millions?
@@firstnamelastname8790 You couldn't be more incorrect. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. All of the energy that was in the universe from the beginning, will be here for eternity.
@@firstnamelastname8790 Take a science class kid.
This is the most beautiful insane footage I’ve seen in a while. Thank you🙏🙏
Killer whales have babies to feed too. That is what I remind myself of when I watch a tough video like this.
This is a pod of outlaws. They are breaking the law. Gray whales are endangered and a protected species. This video is incrimination. Either Seaworld will capture them or the Galatic Federation of Light will educate and indoctrinate them to become pescatarian like good little orcas are supposed to be.
soarhigh Yandow. I'll remind myself of this the next time a shark (female maybe) feeds, attacks, takes a person.
@Jean-Ian Simard Yes, it was just a delicacy or training killing.... Sad to kill an innocent and defenseless baby whale in this way.....
Yeah like the japanese
@@anuyahawah3056 I will ask you now Who made them endangered in the first place???? Us..... The killers are just doing their things We were the ones responsible if they're extinct in the future
What amazes me is how the heck does whales actually grow up to be adults. Killer whales and Japanese whalers everywhere and how there's even an adult whale of any kind in the ocean is truly amazing in itself.
because us whalers dont kill more than nature can handle
Only orcas hunted whale and even then, they're not their favourite prey cause they posed the biggest danger to the orcas
@@kristianxotomaybe you don’t. Not sure your friends act the same way.
Danger is just a part of life for wild animals. Compared to most, whales don’t have it too bad. Orcas and large sharks are the only natural predators that may go for a whale calf
Very hard to watch because I love whales. Imagine the what the mother went through. Orcas are amazing hunters ❤️
It would be interesting to see how often transient Orcas develop brain injuries from this type of repeated attack
Those orcas scare me they to damn intelligent.......
They're so intelligent, they seem to realize attacking humans would be a very, very bad idea...... so I wouldn't worry too much about them.
Maybe the locals the transient orcas will probably take whatever they can get in open water.
jamesd2128 they’re probably plotting waiting on a day to break out of sea world and destroy human life as we know it. They’re so smart I wouldn’t doubt if it was all a plan.
They're so intelligent fearful hollywood named them killer whales.
@@youngjugg6164 Orch'a'strating a plan?
This was pure brutal murder in cold blood Ocean Water 😢. I feel utterly sad for the baby grey mum whale & yeah i get it the nature of life but it's sad to watch any life be taken away especially in front of there mum
And only for the tongue, a delicacy. ... True it's nature corrupted by the violence that's here, but one day God will make it paradise again and all will live together in peace & harmony.. Isaiah 11:6-9... Whoever cannot feel for a mother trying to save her baby from a gang of cruel murderers has something wrong with their heart... ....
Cold blood ocean water...lol
Lol. "Pure brutal murder". Smh. There is no such thing in the animal kingdom. The only thing that would probably be close are monkeys who kill other clans, sometimes for no obvious reason, and pride male lions who WILL kill other nomadic males that come into their territory no questions asked. And some times the nomads kill the pride males. But that is a biological imperative so that the strongest genes are passed along and to prevent inbreeding. This was done for food. Full stop. That's not to say that there isn't evidence that some Orca pods do enjoy the hunt and kill, but that isn't surprising. Orca are The smartest life form on the planet behind humans and I have ZERO doubt they are self aware and know what's going down. But at the same time they are THE apex predator of the Ocean. Nothing else comes close. Orca will and HAVE killed full grown great whites in literally minutes and turned the terror of humans in the water into literal chum in less than an hour.
@Haneefah Moore I feel sad that you just ate the flesh of a Baby cattle(who was separated by his mother) when you ate a burger from McDonald's. You are so cruel murderer for doing that, LMAO.
@@brendaann727 The J-wish prophet, Isaiah(who your quoting from), instructed his tribes to kill gentile Children's, and ra*e their mothers, in Isaiah 13:16. It seems like you have no feelings for that.
what is the soundtrack used at the start ?
Cinematic piano
It's amazing to watch the cow try to protect her calf & on the flip side how coordinated, persistent & brutal the Orcas are. Simultaneously beautiful & vicious.
OMG!! Separated it from mom then drowns it by keeping it spinning. It's amazing how perfect their attacks are.
its not amazing its depressing
@@Gaminf_N0ob no amazing. Humans kill for the fun of it. That's depressing. These killer whales kill to eat. To survive. Nothing depressing about that.

No wonder sharks dont mess with orcas. They are like velociraptors. They hunt in packs and they are powerful.
And bigger, and stronger than any living shark.

I love orcas and always have since i first heard about them, but imagine how much jt sucks to be stuck in the middle of nowhwere without any cover or protection. Mother nature is cruel but beautiful at the same time
Poor mother can’t help her child.... it might be the hurtfull thing in the world
uda takdir
The mother tried really hard to keep the baby afloat. The mother was beneath the surface pushing up the baby for the most part while the killers were trying to sink it to drown the baby
I feel for mother and her baby, yes knowing her baby is also being attacked, they are unfortunately outnumbered, one killer whale would never take on an adult grey whale on it's own and and the killer whales KNOW it. These killer whales are cowards of the animal kingdom. They just ruin 2 lives destroy a whale family. I can NEVER enjoy watching this, bt only watched it to understand better what they go through and in a sick way share negative experience, almost as if I'm by the grey whale's sides, with them in spirit I guess. Fuck killer whales hope they become extinct 😡😡
@@random4969 The sadest part is, They only want the tongue of the whale. They don't want the rest of it
@@random4969 Killer whales are classified as dolphins, so they travel and hunt in pods, working together to take on a bigger hunt doesnt make them cowards its thier nature. Can't believe you watched killer whales hunt just to complain about their natural instincts, guess your spirit didn't do much in the end huh?
Music? Why?
Did they have a permit?
That poor baby took on a huge battle, actually survived and fought for awhile despite taking so many beatings and rams.
@RgnK.L117 That was an adult male gray whale, not a baby. Male gray whales are smaller than female gray whales. Fucking look it up.
8:22 was its final breath 💔 before being dragged undersea never to be seen
Oh it was seen again, the orcas only eat certain parts of the calf and the other sea life feast on the rest
Michael Stratton they only eat the tounge
They don’t drag it down. It sinks, and thats what sucks for the orcas. They only get a few moments to feed on the whale before it’s bodies sinks to the ocean floor for other creatures
An amazing video,is it true that after killing the calf that only the bottom jaw is eaten,if so do we know the reason why this is?
How and why the gray whale vomit blood ? Due to the impact from killer whale tail or something ?
I know it’s the life cycle but I’m a mom and I can’t help but feel so emotional seeing the mama try to protect her baby and the baby trying to get away in vain.
We still have hearts, I cried the whole video...
Mother Orcas hunting! No feelings for them trying to feed their calves!
I absolutely love Orcas. Having said that, I'd much rather see them eat seals and sharks because this was brutal to watch. Our world is unforgiving.
To see them eating seals is less brutal idiot bastard?
A seal, a shark, a whale-they are all living organisms who will fight for their lives. What a weird comment to make. What is brutal to the calf is survival for the orca and a host of other animals, too. Whales are a great source of energy. That whale carcass, when the orcas are finished with it, will help feed all manner of scavengers as it floats and eventually sinks. A whale fall will attract all kinds of animals and will help them to survive.
@@darkprose wow...thank you so much for the lesson in biology. I never would have known. You really enlightened me today.
I'd much rather see them eat Seal.
Joseph McAuley killer whales are smarter than all of them combined
This is the world we live in. Life will go on regardless of the heartbreak and sadness.
always that one guy who thinks he's some cool badas$ wildlife expert that has to constantly remind people its life/cycle of nature.. like we fkn know you aren't wise or anything, the video is still sad dumbas$
I hope they had lived a beautiful life. We can't harp on the Orcas for trying to survive.
Fun fact: "killer whale" is a mistranslation from Portuguese (common mistake since Latin languages put subject and verb/adjective in the opposite order than English), they should actually be called "whale killlers".
No, a "killer whale" means ,in this case, that the whale is the orca (killer orca). So, the adjective is correctly placed before the subject...
@@SuperDelo71 Nope.
@@Professicchio Why nope...you don't understand Sir, that's all...
And I would add that orcas are whale killers as you wrote (you are right on this fact)...but the name "killer whale" means that the orcas (they are whales too) are killing...and not just other whales. Le français est ma langue première, alors je sais de quoi je parle... :) French is my first language, so I know what I'm talking about... Sir :)
@@SuperDelo71 plz read entire standard resonse i use, : Yes, I am a whaler, i eat dolphins, i try kill them humanely and do it sustainably and not take more than needed. not commercial. hate me all u want, never gonna change, for me whale/dolphin meat is normal, like u eat pigs, cow etc and people in india think eatiing that is weird and an outrage. but lets do facts here: Killer whale is correct english term, since "orca" is totally in correct since its a binomial nomencleture, and is the species. u can NOT do that without putting in genera/genus) Orcinius. genus always capital first letter, species NEVER! many animals can share same species name, like "orca" but NEVER share same genus and species at same time, so Orcinus orca or O. orca is taxonomically correct. since there could be a H. orca, the O. orca is VERY important. secondly, stop correcting from "its not a whale but a dolphin" it sounds retarded because its so much deeper. in ceataceans (whales) there are families and subfamilies. dolphins belong to Delphinanea, family. thats a family in ceataceans(whales in common speak) so yes they are whales! Blue whales and Bowhead are not only not in same genus they not even in same family. as big a difference between them as between O. orca and the blue whales(cant remember their binomial nomencleture, i am spider person, not marine person(spiders belong in entomology) So point, they are whales! another point. all domesticated animals started as wild caught and wild animals. keeping big whales like killer whales in captivity should only be done if u have a bio setup, with natural prey(live prey) and not chlorinated water but bio flora and a HUGE tank and a good pod. then its okay :) But NO ONE could ever afford that! so it cant be done setting them free? 1. most will die, they cant even hunt! 2. most are hybrids. their are subspecies in the O. orca, and seaworld etc have mixed the subspecies and we do NOT want to pollute if one survives and crossbreeds! period! keep animal bloodlines clean! enough animals are destroyed, just look at snake hobby! attacks in wild DO OCCUR! and they are violent! search "hans+surfer+california+72+killer whale+bite" and u can see many sites with several attacks. NON fatal YET but bloody and serious! so stop the myth about no attacks in the wild. and just because there is no recorded fatality does not mean it has not happened. MANY people die each year from snake bites but officially maybe 100-200 world wide die because no official report or cause of death is done. same with shark attacks. so there might be more attacks even fatal ones which has not been recorded and hence not in official statistics.
thanks for unpload this amazing event..drone pilot worth a big excellent!!. If possible,could you please update a full version video of the whole event, as I saw humpback join the fight at last on that day...
What’s the genre of the song playing in this video Is that jazz or what’s the name of… someone help me !!!! Is very therapeutic for the soul
Im no expert but can you actually tell me the moment grey whales are killed is it the first sight of blood
The gray whale never dies in this video. He's breathing out of his blowhole the whole time. It's hard to know, because the video ends, but it looks like they start to drown it at the end of the video.
This had a better ending than Game of Thrones

Oof💔
@ImNotGanondorf yea them cheeks was clapping
Sad part is that they cannot defend themselves.
@Cee Cee Plentiful English is not my first language.
@Cee Cee Plentiful lmfao
Cee Cee Plentiful People like you are annoying, but I kind of see where you’re coming from. But Yk sometimes people just want to write a quick comment and not worry about spelling errors. Lmao even tho English wasn’t his first language.💀
Says who? Their sheer size is their defense. In this clip, the orcas win. But if you looked for other clips, you could see that orcas failed many times too.
Cee Cee Plentiful people like you are annoying and obnoxious, who honestly gives a flying fuck that they spelled 1 fucking word wrong? Life is too depressing to be stressing on the regular about dumb worthless shit like that.
I know that they did kill the calf but imagine being a baby and being strong enough to put up a fight against a pod of killer whales! Everything in nature is remarkable!!
There was no “putting up a fight”, my friend. Don’t sensationalize. That baby was obliterated with surgical accuracy. The mother took damage simply trying to shield the APEX Predators from her baby. . .but there was no “fight”. With ORCA - there never is.
@@denisjohnson8198 first, I didn't sensationalize anything! The only reason you think my comment is sensationalization is because you are a arrogant fool! The calf fought and struggled to the death, the only reason you aren't impressed by the calf not stopping until death is because your a arrogant fool! The fact you can't see, recognize, or respect the calf's efforts identified yourself as disrespectful and foolish!! Second, I don't need you to tell me what Orca's are capable of, I'm aware! Third, I hope you use this to see how awesome all nature is and see that nature should have our upmost respect! Last, I'm not your friend!!
@@bryanelam7431 I’m not reading all that (after the first 2 sentences when you started name-calling). Your estrogen levels are spiking, kiddo - they make a treatment for that🤣 #StaySalty🤣
@@denisjohnson8198you don't have the courage to continue reading what I said and yet you try to make me out as the weaker person, damn! I now know the reason why you don't respect the calf's efforts and it's courage, it's because you don't have any! By the way it wasn't name calling it was a accurate description of you! Maybe if you are capable of reading this reply you can be introduced to courage and what it means! Can't finish reading a comment because of name calling, I bet your dad is proud of you!!
Dang, did you notice the different strategies here. Biting flippers, ramming, biting the head, drowning, distraction, blocking movement...dang.
It's so sad to watch that something spare their life for a reason as a food chain.....nice vid
I know:( thanks for watching !
Tough neighborhood. Just another trip to the grocery store for the Orca pod. Post the collective wrecking ball stun session, the classic spin cycle method employed by these pods to repeatedly roll and drown the large whales will never cease to absolutely blow my mind. The coordination and communication exhibited is staggering to behold.
Yea. These techniques and coordinated attacks are just mind boggling
Astonishing footage captured here. Sure , its hard to watch but, these dramas happen each second on a day to day basis on this beautiful planet. It is difficult to understand how they spend so much of their own energy just to eat the tongue. It can only be attributed to some sort of delicacy.
What is up with all of these predation videos? Is it Shark Week?
The first time I watched this I thought the gray calf had first been drowned before the Orca viciously ripped out its tongue (this is the only part they eat), however, the second time I watched it back the gray calf is still breathing until they finally pull it under water, long after they've all taken turns getting into its mouth and ripping its tongue out. Heartbreaking and equally astonishing to see the ocean world.
They only ate the tongue? What a waste of lots of meat.
This is sometimes the only part they eat
They go after Great White Sharks and go after only their liver . Very strange cuisine
@@rickbroderick9146 these are clearly the humans of the ocean lol. they want their foie gras
If it were a Minke whale I wouldn't be surprised, didn't know they did that to greys
Oh God, im tearing up :'( The baby Gray whale tried to defend for too long. It even do the rolling-defence move continuously.
Literally the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen on KZhead. Sad for the baby whale... but... holy hell, the coordination, the precision... unreal. I’ve heard they hunt like wolves but this is on a whole different level if you ask me. Bravo.
That is so sad and amazing at the same time, but trying to imagine what the mother is experiencing is completely heart breaking, but this is wild life predation so it is what it's supposed to be I guess
Both such wonderful creatures....... and that calf fought till the very end!! He rolled as much as he could till the end!🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋
Can you people please upload full versions? Some of us would love to see the whole thing! Btw filming is unbelievable the drone operator deserves an award! Orcinus Orca is the maintainer of the oceans
Moe Moe this is an outlaw pod. Those Gray Whales are endangered species offered protection under the Endangered Species Act. This video will incriminate the entire pod. Seaworld will probably detain some of the members for life in Seaworld. As for the others, they will be forced to undergo education and indoctrination until they become pescatarians. Otherwise the military might use sonar to confuse and torture them until they beach themselves. It’s a cruel world but the vegan police are watching.

You’re so right!!!!!

Их много...мама одна!Как жаль китёнка...😢😢😢И ни кто на помощь не придёт 💔❣😢😢😢
It’s nature the killer whale doesn’t think “hmm I should leave them alone since it’s with it mom” no they kill because they want food
Those arca's worked together like a ballerina symphony! Just wonderful intelligent animals. Really great footage ♥️♥️
Reminds me of a documentation about a russian serial killer who has killed over 20 women in a very special way. I thought what a wonderful, intelligent human beeing, and there have been really good footage too!
@@marrson6249 big difference there
It's hard to watch a baby whale getting killed in front of his mother but the world is a cruel place
What’s a ballerina symphony?
@@darkprose Some invention. Like the "mandolino choreography".
Killer whale is the top predator than shark
Both are apex predators.
@@tsojong yeah they be jumping in the sea with katanas
Because they're hunting in group like lion but shark hunting solo like tiger so that's mean shark or tiger is the king
Jupit3r no Megalodon and liopleurodon are. Just wait until they release the clones...
I dont think so.
How much of the grey whale do the Orcas actually eat?
@John Prentice The Hungry Giant Transients are the ones that dine on Whales. There favorite part of the whale is the tongue, which is what they are trying to get when spinning that male gray whale around. They stun the whale before killing them. If a whale would choose what way they would die, they pretty much would prefer being stunned by an Orca rather than being stabbed by a Harpoon, since they way how the Orca kills the whale, is much more painless, than them being stabbed in the back by a harpoon(having a painful death). Eskimos harpoon whales in the back, and killing the whale slowly, and don't see anybody in this comment section saying they hate Eskimos, or calling for genocide against Eskimos(it wouldn't be all right if they say this about Eskimos, though, I wouldn't agree with it).
This teared me apart, saddest things I've ever seen.
Saddest thing ever seen by you? Not the mass killings of other people by other people all over the world, not mass starvation, or millions of people "living" in refugee camps all over the world, many of whom will spend the rest of their probably short lives in those camps. An Orca, whose name literally translates into "whale killer" not "killer whale", killing a whale to eat is the saddest thing? Get some perspective guy.
This footage is absolutely incredible
Sit back relax and enjoy....hmmmm,I don't think this is enjoying viewing.
No, it was a cold introduction to a heart-rending video...
So do they pretty much Ram the prey to both induce internal bleeding and exhaust it to the point it just drowns?
Yes, they usually drown the whales and sharks.
Orcas own the ocean. They know how to beat the living shit out of anything 😂
Very dramatic and spectacular scenes! Thanks for the share!
Thank you so sharing. Enjoy it. Nature can be so beautiful and yet bloody at times. Thank you again.
Innocent Lamb “enjoy it”?
@@Patrick3183 Yeah why not
Did the mom survive? Where is she ?
All hope is lost she couldn't save the calf. It's best to abandon the calf and move on. She can mate and have another calf some time in the future and hopefully it will survive.
I feel it degrading to call orca sea wolf. What is wolf in comparison to the mighty tiger?
Why do I watch video's like this!!??
Asking myself the same question...maybe we need to see all of life, not just the nice parts. Then accept that this is the planet we are on, it is not heaven.
@@dreamsofturtles1828 Your right
Only if the government knew the gift they were giving to people on death row they wouldn’t give it
@@dreamsofturtles1828 true.
@@mosestoliver4068 I wouldn't say that's a gift!!
Must remind myself, also, not to have feelings like terror, horror, revenge when a shark takes/attacks someone and tell myself "it's just nature at its finest".
Wow......i wish we could see the under water view are they just ramming into it?
Why the Theatrical music?
It's like a wolf pack hunting a bigger prey.
this is hauntingly beautiful
Amazing recording! These beast are in the top of the top apex predators scale.
The video uploader wrote: "Sit back, relax, and enjoy watching nature at its finest." That's pretty sick if you enjoyed watching this.
Depraved.
I want to see all this action from underwater
Would be very brutal to watch 😬
Killer whales are amazing they're probably my favorite.
Aquaman be like naw I’m good this is out of my jurisdiction
I watched an episode of Digimon Tamers where Renamon says “it’s a cold cruel world.” After the trampling and death of a digimon.
They hunt and eat 140 species, grey whale is one of them. The Orca is the Apex predator of the Sea.
