Podcast host, Jeff Friedman, filmed this incredible clip during a surface predation of a strap-toothed beaked whale by the Bremer Canyon orcas. This video is not graphic, but does show the orcas in formation and pursuit of the beaked whale.
Watching this whilst thinking also about how ancient seafarers would see these pods and races with their prey. Not being able to explain what they have seen for the very first time. To see the waves and the surfacing and then the brief view of the beaked whale with a large spike at the end of its face, it’s surreal. To know now as modern history has studied and we can explain the view, but to be in absolute fear of the deep oceans. It’s the underworld and it chills me to the bone. No sense of direction or light. The video was beautiful but the haunting under tones is inescapable.
Note the breathing cycles between the Orca and the Beaked whale, one whole second longer breaths for the Orca, hence their ability to chase their prey to exhaustion. Their large round pectoral fins allow the effortless higher lifts out of the water for more endurance enabling oxygen uptake. 🐬
For Orcas, if it swims, it's on the menu!
The clarity of the video was excellent. Now if only there was audio to accompany it. Dead Air sucks.
It was a bunch of ear-splitting wind noise and we get the same feedback when we put music to the videos so we went with nothing this time. We'll take that into consideration for next time.
I could hear everything perfectly!
Just like wolves on an elk. Great footage.
You got some steady hands Jeff
SO MANY WHALES
Why didn't the beaked whale dive?
R.I.P Beaked Whale :(((
The rarity of the beaked whales makes a hunt like this especially sad to watch, once Orcas target you, you're pretty much done
I thought beaked whales were "of least concern" on the endangered species list?
It´s so fascinanting how orcas hunt.... It's not just about killing and eating. There's something else to it, for sure.
I've never heard that kind of whale (beaked whale) before °○)))
Remember to record the audio next time 😊
We did record audio. A bunch of ear-splitting wind noise. We opted for silence instead of music.
💕Wow🧡💜💜🧡💜💜💜
Was this intended for the deaf
Beautiful killers.
What happened to the beaked whale?
Beaked whales dive a lot deeper than orcas can, it probably just dove down to where the orcas couldn’t follow
@@genXdoom72That is not the case after a long dive or for a weakened individual that needs the longer recovery time to absorb the needed oxygen in their blood that enable these long dives.
...they killed it...kzhead.info/sun/lcquZd5wp4qYe68/bejne.html
I have a feeling the beaked whale got et.
@@Tired-hm4tw lol where you from?
Do the beaked whales ever escape? I know they can dive deeper than the Orcas but it seems like they are forced to stay on the surface because they need to re-oxygenate their blood? That's when the Orcas get them yes?
I'm just guessing, but I'm assuming that whale species that are being hunted instinctively want to make sure they can go up for air when fleeing. Orcas often kill by drowning whales by swimming on top of them to push them down. If the Beaked Whale dives down and wants to come back up, and the orca's are still there, it's probably game over?
😅 that's not real, if it were it would swim like the other whales
