The Trials Of Life
Sir David Attenborough continues his study of animal behaviour in the third instalment of his award-winning Life series. Beginning with the ways in which animals arrive in the world and ending with the extraordinary techniques they employ to reproduce, the Trials of Life is one of the most comprehensive wildlife documentaries ever made. Taking some three and a half years to make, Attenborough travelled almost a quarter of a million miles to complete this fascinating and insightful documentary.

"humans are the only animals who hunt for fun" Killer whales: laughs in whale vocalization sounds
That statement is just blatantly not true tho, i really wonder where it originated from, because those people havent met wild dogs, or house cats.
Not a whale fun fact
Or ravens, lions, dolphins, *sea leopards* etc etc
@@George_M_ They all hunt for fun, and they kill far more than humans, and in far more inhumane way.
@@Swarmah because they are not human. ahahahahahahhaa
Sea Lion: "Phew! I'm on land! Therefore, I am safe!" Killer Whale: "I accept your premise. I reject your conclusion."
That's a great comment 🤣
Sheldon to Penny. For the 😍 of TBBT
@@wisleyj.7616 ❤️
Underrated!
What's a premise?
Orca: “Hey we’re going to the beach, wanna come?” “Yea, I could eat.”
i'll bring my wife
Cool we can toss around some pups work up an appetite!
@@PakiRican2010 Yeah, they play beach volleyball too.
The other sea lions watching their friends get yeeted😳
Dead
After 2:50 I started to laugh way too much
Rag doll song comes to mind, poor things though, nature...
😂
3:54 lmao
The power it takes to toss around a sea lion like a rag doll...Holy crap.
That video of the men playing tug of war with 1 lion ain't nothing.
One Orca can flip a Great White shark to kill it like it's no big deal and the pod will attack Blue Whales.
That's no shit, no comparison. Simply powerful and badass.
They’ve been seen to ram minke whales weighing about as much as they do with such force during a hunt that the minke’s body is hurled almost entirely out of the water, or bring the fleeing 7 ton baleen whale to a standstill by clamping down on its muzzle.
You mean the big leaps they do out of the water aren't enough as proof? You didn't really need to see a see a lion flinged in the air to get that, now did you
Tossing a sea lion several feet in the air with a flick of its tail is a flex.
@@nyarshroud8778 I didn't know that, thank you for the fact! ☺️😌
Like you know how heavy those seals are. They are launching them like it’s a football
There's video out there of an Orca flinging a sea lion like 100 ft in the air or more. It's also a Meme.
With its tail traveling through the water no less!
Personally, I feel that's a punk move. I've lost some respect for the Orca. If it did that to a human being. It's on bro, it's on. I'm leaving behind my binocular and sniper rifle, and will be taking the RPG launcher, a shotgun, and a crate full of grenades instead.
“Only humans are cruel” Killer whales “... oh honey”
@connorplayz483 yeah yeeting a seel for no reason is really essential for survival lol
How is it cruel? The Orca needs food. It has nothing to do with evil or cruelty.
@@detectivezain8313 it's usually used for practice among the youngins but yeah, sometimes it's just for fun. Orcas can be really fucked lol
@@detectivezain8313 are you really complaining against a wild animal? Hun they aren't on twitter you can't cancel them
@@lennarthagen3638 the orca is famous for bullying the sea creature for no reason or even just to "training". So yeah, I think it's pretty cruel.
Orca: kills seals Penguins: oh thank god Orca: 👀 Penguin: wait no :(
Ada detail yg aku lewatkan? Oh aku sengaja biarkan Utk mencambukku sendiri agar mau berpikir 🤣 Jangan anda pikir semua tdk aku pertimbangkan. Terkadang aku sisakan musuh musuhku utk latihan ku. Aku biarkan dia terluka lalu selamat lagi. Utk aku ulangi penyiksaannya. Aku memperhatikan ritme bertahannya. Utk aku pertimbangkan langkah selanjutnya. Aku mengawasimu utk kesenanganku. Kadang aku biarkan utk mencambuk malasnya ku berpikir. Dengan begitu aku terlatih. Juga melatih diriku. 🤣
@@ratuadilFF what? Whip whip whip
penguins are pretty fucked up too, if a mother looses her baby then multiple moms who lost their child will chase a new born penguin who is an orphan and suffocate it to death because of the amount of penguins on top of him
@@2mono7 to continue every living being is fuxked up some more some less
@@2mono7 Can you please explain the last line? I didn’t understand it.
Dont feel bad for the seals, they play with half dead penguins too.
They are pushing salmon to extinction.
Yup
fuck seals
@@UltimateEnd0 So are humans, so we aren't in any place to stand on a pedestal
Except we invented guitar pedals and boil in the bag ham so 🤷♂️ We get a pass for being so cool
If killer whales played video games they'd constantly teabag.
Brett Morris SOO TRUE
I called that spawn camping
so your buddies teabag you do you think this could have to take care of whales
I choked on my soda lol
Hahaha!!!
The rest of his friends are like “damn homie”
3:40 I feel bad for laughing at this Sea Lion but it’s so funny to imagine him doing a somersault
Now your making me laugh. Don’t make me feel bad
No wonder orcas like us humans, but that shit looks funny as fuck lol
Thats hilarious 😭😭😭
0:38 no one gonna talk about how that sea lion just tried scaring the whale off and it worked
That was too cute
Its not scared the orcas just backing up cause its already too far
That was my favorite part. Hard to tell if that made a difference but it looked like it must be used to that at least.
no it backed off so it won't get beached
holy shit
Orcas be like We will send a sea lion to the moon by 2030
Eli Smith lmfaooo
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
speek inglish
Chris Kelly take your own advice 😂
Look up “orca yeets seal 80 feet in the air”
When I was a boy, I used to think the white spots on the orca were it’s eyes
I wish I never found out those weren't the eyes. They went from looking badass to looking goofy
So, now what does it feels being a teen/man which is old 😔
Same they look so much like giant eyes
Saaaaame broooo
Even when I knew exactly where their eyes are located I still pretend that they have 4 eyes
Rejoice my penguin friends, this one goes out to all of the penguins that fell prey to the sea lions
Yeh 😀
feel free to whoosh me but those are sea lions , not seals
@@crunmch3140 sea lions are seals too, they are just one subgroup.
Not to rain on your parade but Orcas will gladly eat penguins too when given the chance 😭
@@eVill420 ah well i feel freaking stupid- shoulda fact-checked myself, thanks
I came here after watching some seals hunt penguins.
Same here
same
Same bro😃😅😄🍻😃👍
Help is available.
After sometime you will see the Japanese hunting whales.
Imagine chilling and seeing a whale roll up on the beach with you

It's like they're saying, "wow, what the fuck was that?"
And be like... “ SURPRISE M’FUCKER “
Its actually happened to an old man but sadly they ate him ...he was sitting very near beach side & I can not forget that
Or to a kid who's just busy making a sand castle on the beach. Kid's mother: "Oh my God.....my baby!" LOL
3:24 did it do a wrestling move on the sea lion?
Finished him lmao
@@aaron_yeee3746 It's sad but looks so funny.
BODY SLAM BOIII

A “splash”? .....I’ll see my way out.

Probably getting yeeted after 3:53
Jerry has become one with the waves
3:53 *"Yo Jeff! Here is a long pass!"*
😂😂😂
Shut up :D
That what psycopath would do to their prey
Lmao
But I don't want it. Social distancing, bitch
Funny that when the people think on sharks they remember "jaws", a terrible monster, but when you tell them killer whales they think "free willy", a noble animal...
VicenzoV yep and sharks aren’t really that smart or have very good vision so they sometimes attack people thinking it’s food but then just let it go even though it’s too late.
Orca the Killerwhale ,that´s what I see when I see them
me who's seen neither but still is scared of sharks and orcas but i like the orcas look so
@@astolfo5129 better don´t watch Orca...when they show the heart coming out of the mother ist pretty horrific
They might be mixing them up with sperm whales or humpback whales. I don't think people think the orcas/killer whales are that noble, only that they're cool.
Looked pretty funny when the whale yeeted the seal at the end
3:54...Hilarious lol
Noooooo said eeeeee
Lmfao
Somebody watches The Amazing Lucas! Was funny though
Bet it was funny to be the sea lion
Bro why is this making me cry of laughter how they yeet them so hard with their tail 😂😂💀💀
The move that one of the whales pulled at about 3:23 fucking killed me. 🤣
Maybe you're just a little weird and shouldn't have children, Ryan...
@@jpmcintosh9106 how am I weird its a predator thats playing with their meal but makes us enthusiastic to watch and have a good laugh about it🤨
3:54 dirty catapult
Disgusting.
3:24 I'm sorry, that just cracked me up imagining the killer whale belly flopped 'on' the sea lion.
And his name is JOHN CENA

best part😂😂🤣
I was so done🤣 that’s just fucking petty😂😂
The terror it would be. To be on shore and see your cousin be toss in the air like a toy
Thank you! Lmaaaooo
pretty spectrum xxx yeah
It's like "close your eyes kids"
They don't attack humans....

Not whales.

That’s kind of messed up lol
Their ability to strategize and adapt is so impressive.
"Don't play with your food"
"Dont get high with your own supply"
If you know you you can die why even try I don’t know
Im not about to try to tell a Killer Whale what to do lol
@@keenanmcbreen7073 it's just a suggestion from an eagle's point of view. LoL
Daily, many people prepare food more than their needs, the rest will go to the trash, Allah do not accept that. Keep food, it will remain.......
One of the few animals, who can overcome their own instincts (they have a natural fear to get stranded) to gain more chances to hunt. Such an amazing creatures.
some never try again and stick to salmon. But those who do eats good.
shows that they're slowly doing something early humans also had to do - conquer their fear of the unknown. some baby orcas try it and feel so uncomfortable with their weight not being supported by water that they never try again lol
What do you mean they have a natural fear of being stranded. Why?
@@davids.3584 they can't walk bro
@@seanwalsh7201 bs they can just belly hop their way back to sea.
Orca 1: "Go long!" Orca 2: **swims a few yards away** Orca 1: **throws sea lion** Orca 2: **catches it** Orca 1: "Touch down!" Orca 2: **spikes it and does an excessive celebration dance**
3:54 Seems like Killer Whales would be great tennis players as well.
It's more like beach volleyball🏐👌
Lol
Omg🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
Now I understand why they call em KILLER Whales.
Technically called orcas
except they arent whales. Orcas is the proper name.
killer whales are more related to dolphins
@@litojonny They're not more related, they ARE dolphins. If you mean more related to a bottlenosed dolphin (a specific species of dolphin) then yeah sure. But Orca's are just as much a species of dolphin than the bottlenosed dolphin, if you get me.
Yeah. They have a killer smile.

Killer whales must the be most beautiful psychopaths ever. 😂 I feel so bad for the seals though, what a rough and painful end of life.
New Wave Comedy I wonder who’s the idiot here, it says that I feel bad for them having a rough ending of their lives. Everybody knows about the circle of life... Learn to read!
It's Nature, as brutal as it could be, and remember, seals do the same to penguins.
Orca are just assholes they’re amazing creatures but they’re assholes. They don’t fuck with us though. I’m pretty sure they know we Capture them n use them to perform circus acts and we poach them. So they don’t fuck wit us. They know their place with hoooomans.
New Wave Comedy they said a brutal end of life “idiot”
Ever since I've learned seals often rape penguins, I don't feel as bad
This gives "stop playing around with your food" a *WHOLE* new meaning.
yoy could say a "whale" new level
03:53 "I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYY"
lol
I BELIVE I CAN DIEEEEEEE
Seeing this in real life would be one of the most shocking and awesome experiences. Imagine you didn’t even know this type of thing happened and suddenly saw not only sea lions playing on the beach but a giant orca semi beach itself to grab one
Dolphin do something similar. I've seen a pack of dolphin playing kickball with mullet. There is video on youtube.
This is some OLD footage. Reflections from my childhood. I remember the box set. You've been an icon Sir David Attenborough
He's a shill for Britain's other state cult: the environmentalist movement. He's as much a fraud as his childhood hero, "Grey Owl" (or something) -- a British man who pretended to be an indigenous Canadian (adopting a persona of an American Indian) in the 1930s to, also, promote environmentalism. (He was found to be a fraud shortly after his death.)
He still broadcasting at 97..impressive!
0:40 love how the orca just clumsily wriggles its way back into the water
It takes yrs of practice and is taught from generation to generation.
it's cute
Nothing like tossing around the old sealskin during a backyard cookout

First of all, kudos to the videographer ! The footage is unreal. Why is Sea World still caging these massive beasts when clearly they need the ocean to be their playground: savage.

@@soldierforchrist631 why?
@@rapid8073 to spare the animals of the oceans lol jk . But Orcas literally kill female sperm whales and other whales yeah are top of the food chain with no natural threats
Everyone arguing _”Orca not Killer Whales”_ . Chill! The seals here are called _Sea Lions_ . That doesn’t mean they’re actually Lions 🦁 lol 😂
And let's be honest they are very psychotic killers
The big difference between these two meanings: "Orca" instead of "killer" - "Seals" instead of "Lions". That's a big difference. If you would argued "Killer Whales" - doesn't mean they're WHALES".. then your argument would be comparable Orcas are not even more killers then seals - they only kill to survive.. THAT's the point. "Only" pure nature.
@kirby waite Alright, but did you understand what I wanted to express? Those who note "Orca not Killer Whales" rightly criticize "Killer" and not "Whales". That is the decisive difference, why "Seal Lions" from Fruit Farm is not comparable.
The way they hunt is
@@SirDrakeFrancis It's true. And now? It doesn't get us anywhere, does it? Orcas kill other animals to feed, so they don't kill for no reason but to survive, don't they? Seals are also predators, for example they feed on fish. Are these now called killer seals?

People be hating on hunters for feeding themselves but these orcas out here playing volleyball with seals 😂
fr
No one hates on hunters who hunt to feed themselves, we hate on people who hunt when they have a fucking Target in 500 meters from them, and people who hunt for sport. Killing for fun/procrastination is not okay and should not be tolerated - that's what we know for sure, we know that it's unnecessary and as a species that can question out behavior we can correct it. Orcas and others to our knowledge can not.
I just finished watching a video of seals eating a hole in a Penguin's torso, now I see seals getting Kobed in the air and I must say this does put a smile on my face
