I love whales so much. Everything about them is fascinating and they give me peace. I wish I could see one in real life.
Julla Cassandra Visto same
You can
JohnOriginal Sea world is mean
The Oregon coast!!!!!! I’m from Oregon and we get to see the whale migration Jan-March (ish)
I was kayaking at the San Juan islands on Washington’s coast and some orcas went right under me
I loved the clip of the diver and the sperm whale. The mutual curiosity and the whale's playful response were so fascinating.
@Michelle Lee Sperm whales can actually make “click” sounds that are 200 times louder than a rocket launch and can kill a human.😧
That whale pooped on him though. Don't know if that makes it more or less wholesome.
@@michaelcaplin8969 It made me like whales even more lmao
Time stamp?
@tekodoraudor Decibels are not measured in a linear scale, but it’s based on orders of magnitude. 10dB is ten times louder than 0dB, and 20dB is about 100x louder than 0dB. 30dB is about 1000x louder than 0dB, and so on. I might not have been completely accurate about a sperm whale being 200x louder (can’t remember how I ended up with that number), but there’s an extreme difference between 220dB and 230dB. Sperm whales are said to be able to signal to each other from two different parts of the world, however, perceived sound has a saying too, as well as the effects water has on sound. For example, a baby’s cry is about 110dB, which is half the dB of a rocket launch. Knowing how much louder a rocket launch is compared to a baby, you can imagine the difference 10dB makes when it’s up in the 220-230dB levels.
Sperm whale: 'Awww what a cute little animal'
@Simon E Sperm whales can actually make “click” sounds that are 200 times louder than a rocket launch and can kill a human.😧
@@whengrapespop5728 but theire careful around humans, its beautiful
@Just in they showed clips of both
Why are they called 'SPERM whale'?...
Severus Snape they like it extra salty
At just before 5 min in, the "babysitter" whale was so careful not to hurt them. I'm so glad it was mentioned how she actually moved her tail while driving so as no to hit the cameraman. Awesome
Thanks, for the likes sweet people, Nature and animals are how we figure ourselves out.
@Andrew Comeau Sperm whales can actually make “click” sounds that are 200 times louder than a rocket launch and can kill a human.😧
@@andrewgeorgecomeau4066 I have seen you comment on some SeaWorld vids hows it goin
Hang on, driving?
That whale actually pooped on him then. Seems to have positioned itself to do it intentionaly to be honest.
The last clip, especially after 18:25 has to be the most epic nature clip I've ever seen!!
THAT WHALE JUST YEETED THOUSANDS OF SARDINES
That whale is a....swallower
I agree. This clip is one of my favourites
The level of cooperation between animals that compete with each other and would probably fight given hard times, it's fascinating. And they do it without being able to talk to each other.
The last clip is Endgame but the villain is sardines.
Sardines: EXIST Other marine animals: “ITS FREE REAL ESTATE”
Not only marine animals. Some land apes love sardines too.
@@meneither3834 Jazz music stops
And they're also sea mammals, too.
I wonder how the cameraman in the last clip was feeling. I would be screaming from joy being able to capture so many different animals in a day's work, probably after weeks or months of looking for these animals. Absolutely incredible.
If I was filming the Bryde's whale I would also be screaming of joy..and soil my swim suit at the same time.
Might've used ROVs. I don't think it'd be safe in that water.
@@brianjensen5661 facts
I would be screaming too, but for a completely different reason...
Idk what to say. 17:35 that shark looks so fake. It’s like a 3d animation for me
Honestly BBC, the sound of David Attenborough’s voice is the only music needed.
Music leads the pace, You don’t understand
Magzhan Maksut As a musician, I do understand, and I still don’t think it’s needed. Nor the sound effects-I’d rather have the sounds be what we would actually hear.
@@maryrosekent8223 i agree too. How presumptuous to assume what you do and dont understand.
Nastia Thank you. It was incredibly condescending of him.
@@maryrosekent8223 well now. have we reached an amicable conclusion to this hastily drawn matter?
I never thought seeing a school of sardines getting systematically massacred would be so epic
I like how the whale just comes in like ‘nom’ and just finishes off the sardines
the sardines would not agree with you
Nom
@@starseed8087 They're too dead to have an opinion on the matter.
Whales need to be hunted for blubber. Whale oil is some of the cleanest burning oil there is. If we ran our cars on whale oil global warming wouldn't even exist.
@@mrbojangles9841 not enough whales dumb ass
I'm a fisherman and I've seen lots of different kinds of whales and it never gets old. They are beautiful and majestic creatures and seeing a big one makes a long day fishing much better. We've seen a huge humpback right next to the boat and it made us feel pretty small in my lil 35 foot boat.
no matter how small you feel you are still the tools used to ruin the oceans and rid them of life
I so wish I could see a big whale or an orca. I'm so jealous.
@@St.Raptor me2 😭
the fact that this isnt an animation is jawdropping
...swallowed by a humpback whale? Almost, that is how it looks like kzhead.info/sun/pdSnhseCrIdmja8/bejne.html
Man the last one literally gave me goosebumps, so many different species working together to feast on the sardines. The last one to arrive was really unexpected, Bravo to the team and especially for David Attenborough for narrating, he can make even the simplest things sound so mesmerizing.
The last one is animated
@@samuelsmall991 It is not. It is heavily edited, yes, because we witness something that takes place over an hour in just a few minutes.
The Hunt is one of BBC's best, in my humble opinion. In no small part because of Steven Price's phenomenal score.
18:35 everyone’s a gangster until the real gangster arrives.
Big whales never wanted that but what to do gangster life choose them >_
kzhead.info/sun/qtibk8WPpauYras/bejne.html
Grandma Whale to Baby Whale: Okay sonny, humans are bad usually. But when they get out of the boats they're basically cats so you can play with them.
“They’re more scared of you than you are of them”
@Dad bod vs the world Absolutely loved ur comment 😘
That sardine feeding frenzy just cannot be topped, that was magnificent. It's like they trained for that for thousands of years. It's just so coordinated.
It’s animated You think a shark would pass up a fucking sea lion for some sardines?
@@samuelsmall991 Yes. This isn't the only sardine feeding frenzy video on youtube, you can find others as well. It's heavily edited, but certainly not animated and very real. And sharks are not that dumb, why engage in a fight when there are tons of food easier to feast on?
"Rival males have detected that something is going on. They arrive in force, a mob on the dancefloor set on destruction." That's funny I had a literally identical experience the last time I went to Ibiza, what a coincidence.
the game hasn't changed much in spite of the fact that evolution has taken us far apart. The Ibiza mob was probably young as whale, it's almost universal.
Even in the oceans cockblockers suck!!
Did you dance with whales?
We really must try to protect all our oceans - if this was only possible.
Alright I'll get on it
We can, it's a money thing. I mean, we have the money too, just no control over where it's spent. 😒 Goals, let make some goals.
arcticspirals yeah good luck telling China what to do, let me know how that goes.
@@ifeellikeyeezus8525 right because that is what I said. Gotcha. I said we need better goals, we can control what we do with our bodies and people we vote into power make decisions on a global platform. Can you just start by making better choices?
Guess that's a no. Figures.
Okay, I'll admit that the moment of the female Sperm whale imitating the diver and taking great care not to hit him with her tail flukes was such a beautiful thing that I nearly teared up just a little.
18:32 that dude comes like a boss
alan lee the brydes whale
Yeah and i love how all the other predators see it and just leaves quick AF haha. Such a boss that whale.
@@assarstromblad3280 Yes hahah like 'ok guys party is over ruun'
Cums*
"In the days of whaling" Okay it's significantly better regulated than it once was, but let's not insinuate whales aren't still being killed.
I agree but the thing is our entire economy was based on whaling at a moment in history. Especially sperm whales. It was the oil of the time. Thank god it stopped.
@@eduardofreitas8336 Whale blubber was up there with salt, gold, and tulips in terms of wealth.
I mean, it isn't state sponsored whaling..... possibly in some countries.
Japanese still do it illegally with large fleets. They do it for "research" and then sell off all the meat like normal. They also recently switch back to "non-research" whaling. Which is amusing because their whaling industry survives off of subsidies, it isn't even profitable. They kill them just to kill them while selling the meat to a market that has very little demand for whale meat because it is part of their "culture." Hell, they are so determined to do it, the whalers use military satellites to track groups like the Sea Shepard at sea so they can illegally whale without being interfered with.
@@Nyx_2142 they do it legally. nothing illegal there, just because some countries say its illegal does NOT make it illegal globally
Oh gosh being a sardine isn’t it out in these streets
we're all sardines and the seals, tuna, dolphins... are each month of 2020
imagine getting dogpiled by sea lions and tuna and then the fucking birds start swimming
@@anahongow5801 can't agree more 💯
@@anahongow5801 And December is the Big One ^^
Me: dying. God: sending me back as a sardine. Me: Ah shet, it's gonna be a tough one..
But at least you got friends
me: dying. god: why did you say "dying"
You'll just end up back at god probably having to explain how you screwed up being a sardine.

When ur watching the climax at the end, KZhead interrupts with next video suggestions.
That crap happens too often.

I felt bad for the Humpback Whale who danced with his female counterpart and had a cute little romance going on... But then the biggest Boi came and stole his girl 9:55
koreatopnews.buzz/YjUha7gR0J1
that poor guy got cockblocked..
aye man, she was a fin digger anyway
boy*
It's sad indeed, however for the species to survive and thrive, always the fittest must survive.. Big Moby Dick energy always wins!
Mindblowing to see a whale be so careful not to hurt the diver. They have such respect for life & are every bit as curious as we are. We really are blessed with such amazing creatures- wish we treated them with as much care and respect as they do us!
I’m pretty sure the whale didn’t give a shit and the dude got lucky lol. It was inches from his head and he had to push away from it
I'm happy to see that humans finally seem to be taking an initiative to protect these creatures. There finally making a comeback and it's amazing to see what they do
That feeding frenzy was so cool & epic to see! The arrival of the Tunas (who changed the game) and the Whale (the final boss who finished it off), were the coolest. 🤩
Yeah that's awesome
Duuuuude when that dude was swimming alongside and mimicking the diver.... omg that was soooooo awesome idk how to say it simply beautiful
I'm studying zoology and chose to do a literature review on how whales feed and catch prey. It was one of the funnest things to research, made me have a new appreciation for how amazing and intelligent they are!
right on!
Would love to read your review. Any way you can send it to me?
That last clip is the greatest thing I´ve watched, combined with Attenborough divine voice and the epic background score. It was phenomenal!!!😍😍
RIP minke whale, so much endurance but not enough against the intelligence of the pack. Also, the intro music is really loud and the narration is very quiet in comparison.
Orcas are too overpowered.. I always feel bad for their prey
@@saranshgautam6551 Indeed, it is brutal, but we're much worse. Videos from inside abattoirs, for example. And then there's the needless abuse and neglect of animals. Plus the mass destruction of native ecosystems. Truly, we are so much worse.
@@skullsaintdead Yes obviously, everytime I say something like this the humans are excluded by default...
@@saranshgautam6551 dolphins are smarter that's why they can do so much damage. And yes an orca is a dolphin ha
@@tesstickle7267 ehh a dolphin family member, if its a kin-murdering psychopath
All this footages, music, whales’s voice are relaxing and calming...
I love how we play soothing whimsical music over the last clip, while to the sardines are more like "sad crying violins and drums of terror overlaid by the terrified screams of the hunted as their entire population is murdered" XD
I've loved whales my whole life. I pray they are protected. Thank you for this awesome video.
Whales are the elephants of the sea. Gentle and majestic giants.
Everything except the orcas.
@@anomaly9156 Orcas aren't actually whales, they are dolphins, they are called killer whales because of their size.
@@aranayunsombrero9548 Scientifically, all whales, dolphins and porpoises are classified as Cetacea.
@@aranayunsombrero9548 🤨
Sirenians are more like aquatic elephants. Cets are carnivores
I love whales!!! We need to protect our marine life at all costs 🥺❤️
Ever heard about survival of the fittest you x ?
Itskittykatgamer mainly i agree! But statistically speaking Norway and other places have killed equal to more whales over the years than Japan! I most certainly don’t stick up for any place, but i just want people to know that if we want to do something we should target ALL whaling communities not just the well known ones! (I AM well educated about this topic I’m not trying to sound rude i just want to help these animals and educate people :D)
@@omshree2448 it’s not about survival of the fittest anymore..
Thank you for the people who have filmed it and made it possible for others to see how amazing the world is where we live in. Absolutly stunning..
At 4:54, the whale that was so careful to not hit you... well, it pooped on you, dude. It seemes to have taken great care to get in a position to brown you.
I'd say it was a shart
Loool for it to shit at that very moment while passing you MUST mean something lol I don't think she wanted you around or maybe she was taking the piss lol or shit.
Sperm Whale poop can actually contain Ambergris which is worth more than gold. I’d let a sperm whale poop on me any day
@@jokerman9295 What is Ambergris? That's fascinating!
@@dontcare4748 Long story short, sperm whales eat giant squid and giant squid have giant beaks. To protect their digestive tracks the whales stomach coats the beak with a substance called ambergris. Sometimes people find it on beaches, it's extremely rare and expensive. It's used in the makeup industrie for example.
I'm crying, like a baby. What a magnificent creatures! They feel much-much more, we could even imagine..
18:32 i love how they all just leave once they see the whale. Ok, partys over
It’s so beautiful to see Orcas, Humpbacks and Blue Whales feeding together under such weird circumstances- I love the ocean so much
This video gives me chills because of how massive oceans are and how massive creatures living I them are. I WANNA FEEL THAT CHILL WATCHING THEM IRL
we’re truly lucky to be alive in the same time as this beautiful creatures
They’re truly lucky to be alive in the same time as the only conscious species, us
@@dicklaurent4939 human beings are a cancer on the planet
at 4:54 "She takes care not to hit either of us" but she did poop at you lol. This is so beautiful. I've been on several whale watches out of Gloucester, MA and the humpbacks swim right up to and under the boat, turning on their side so they can look up at you. Close enough to get whale snot all in my face when she breathed and I loved every second!
It's nice to see that sea lions, sea birds, tuna, sharks, dolphins, and whale work together to catch sardines to fill up their stomach! Love the team work of different kinds of predators :)
Male Whales: "Stay back, Human. A battle of love commences!"
Wow. The last clip is so fascinating that different creatures works together to hunt sardines, and that whale just made a wonderful finish!
Whalesong and the voice of Attenborough, it doesn't get any better than that. True ASMR! Gentle giants
The final bite of that whale in the last clip as it sailed by was like something out of a sci-fi space battle, amazing camera work
Great video! 😉👍🏻 My only complaint is that in the closing seconds, 2 boxes pop up (the ones that contain more videos from this channel) which in turn covers up the whale taking a huge gulp of sardines. Just seeing it how it actually WAS woulda been pretty sweet☔🌬💇🏾♂️
Karl E Paul There are more of the same video without that interruption. Check the same channel
Cetaceans are the most interesting, beautiful, surprising, sublime, mysterious, lovable group of animals to exist I feel.
I'm in awe of the beauty and size of these gentle giants. The footage is stunning and really highlights the importance of conserving our oceans.
Ahhhh to be out again with nature. Lovely documentary.
BBC and David Attenborough, the international gold standard of wildlife documentaries
That bite at the end was so perfect I don’t know how to describe it 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Such a Spiritual event to see a whale of any kind up close!
Never knew anything about whales till I watched all the videos on YT due to being quarantined with Covid orders... such an AMAZING video you have here!!!! Thank you so much they are just so graceful and a testimony to the world of nature!
Disney: "Avengers Endgame is the most ambitious crossover ever" Nature: 17:35 "Ya done silly boi"
Well I’m glad I’m not a sardine.

That number 1 clip I have had in my head for years. Can’t believe they got that

Life makes so much sense after watching this.
That feeding frenzy of the sardines had me on the edge of my seat.

Under The Water - Freedom Above The Water - Coronavirus
When I think about this I also think about how deep the ocean is and how terrific it is
The last part, the feeding frenzy, is one of the most amazing wildlife footage ever filmed.
i got emotional watching the two whales dance. It's beautiful. I can't imagine how I would be if I get to see it in real life.
The humpbacks dancing...... 🥺 holy shirt that gave me like a happy and sad feeling at the same time (before the fight thing)
That last clip deserves a Grammy for best picture.
Watching birds fly around with seals and fish and all that cool fish movements is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
Killer Whales are so freaking smart, every video or documentary it blows my mind! Beautiful animals
ohh it`s so very sad for minke (((
Minke Whales has got to be the prettiest of whales
its not sad its nature
#1 literally took my breath away. Incredibly beautiful footage.
They sing like nothing else. I love that scene in "Jaws" where they are all on a boat and there's whales singing in the distance.
Wow. The last clip is so fascinating that different creatures works together to hunt sardines, and that whale just made a wonderful finish
The #1 clip is so magnificent. I have watched it multiple times and it is always beautiful
It is just remarkable that, I, in the middle of nowhere, can just click on something and watch this natural event happen. We absolutely live in the golden age of humanity.
Whales are beautiful, conscious, majestic, soulful mammals. I love them!
the last one is so epic, holy.... it looks so staged, but this is real! :D awesome, just awesome.
I grew up in Victoria BC and I've gone on Orca watching tours. Absolutely beautiful creatures. You'll see them in the Georgia Straight when riding a BC ferry every so often.
Orcas can be seen everywhere. I live in Northern Spain, right near the border with France in the Bay of Biscay, and a group of Orcas has decided to settle here , 10 miles away from where I live and I can see them through the window of my house, far into the ocean. Also the Bay of Biscay has large amounts of whales, one of the highest densities found in Europe.
18:30 Bryde's whale be like: Are y'all gonna finish that?
Man that final scene with all the different animals eating the sardines was absolutely stunning! It's amazing how you manage to get this on film!
Wow it’s unbelievable how divers get so much amazing footage 🙌👏
Once I hear David Attenborough I immediatly know it’s gonna be great
I'm smiling and crying watching this!!
I love this, I interview some of the most well known scientists, creatives & enthusiasts around the world every week.
This is the definition of peace 😌
Doubt the minke agrees.
That last clip was the best, that was incredible!
I could watch them all day and night and still, it would not be enough!
Nothing like an Orca. I've been very close to them. They're like doggies. Of the Sea. And most kind.
Yeah but bigger, more cruel and more intelligent it's scary af
@@bramsteenhoek2674 i think orcas gain mixed feelings precisly because of that...they are cute looking and we are so used to see them sociable and friendly with humans that you can't believe they can be so brilliantly cruel with their prey Sharks on the other hand, already have a mean look, so knowing they could devour their prey is something you already expected to happen
@@spdutahraptor777 ironic seeing as how sharks are terrified to the point where they'll dive and flee for thousands of miles just to avoid the cute sea pandas
@@bramsteenhoek2674 i know right?? It's freaking crazy
Yeah. I'm absolutely In love with them. Magical beings. And there is such a beautiful connection between them.and us
Awwww Thank you 😊 very much for being such Brave people and showing us such beautiful and yet scary moments. 👏🏽👏🏽🌹🙂
Thank you for the people who have filmed it and made it possible for others to see how amazing the world is where we live in
Honestly, I was rooting for the Orcas to catch that Minke 😅 it was so badass how each one communicates with each to coordinate an attack plan 💚
7:05 It looks like the whale was waving at the camera😂💕
I’ve used to love whales now and then. And I absolutely love how KZhead’s small screen shows such great graphics ❤ 1:04
The BBC wildlife programs are the best in the world ever. Especially with Sir David Attenborough is the icing on the cake. Amazing.!!
Him: And a male with a huge dorsal fin. SeaWorld: Oh that's a load of hooey.
@Apex Orca oop old comment I love SeaWorld Now lol
I love whale 🐳 thank you BBC!
