Will have to take your word on that. I've never got close enough to find out

That does look awesome. Ive never seen them do anything like that!!! Would love to see them in the wild!

 

[SHEDDER1uk]

Wow my fav animal ever. They are such lucky people to experience that.

Though it is rare there is one at Seaworld Florida that's killed three people in separate incidents.

While I think it would be an amazing experience to see/encounter them while diving I think I might be slightly apprehensive if in a small boat with a bunch of them chasing... while its probably just playful there are 20 of them....

I am aware of this incident. it is one individual in an unusual environment.

by contrast consider this.

Diver films Killer Whales hunt

(Yeah I know it is DM and people are on a downer on the DM, but that is where I saw the story)

The point is, the wild Orcas were in the middle of a hunting frenzy with their blood up!, A Man was yards away, the Orcas checked him out and once they had realised that he was a "Don't mess with one of those!" (You know, a bit like Man-Kzin ) they then left him alone and got back to the business of shredding the sperm whales.

(Typically, all they end up eating when they kill the big whales is the tongue! I guess it must taste good because it is a hell of a lot of effort for a relativly small gain I would have thought!)

I wouldn't want to get that close either..

 

[Domo]

That was just amazing. Good to see lots of OC dudes appreciating it too
They didn't look hungry - I'm sure one of them was smiling

 

[Yaayuh!]

Times like that when i wish people had at least half decent cameras and skills to operate them

 

[Cosimo]

That is amazing.

I think the original footage has been removed from YouTube, can only find CNN interview with footage now. This is the original I believe: http://www.********.com/view?i=376_1368005458

Awesome, would love to have been there

I'm sure that if incarcerated against my will by another species I'd probably try to kill my guards and escape too.

Looks like they are playing Freak the **** out of Humans again.

Bit disappointed they never caught the boat & ate the screamer though.

 

[Iraklis F.C.]

I'd be bricking it…they're called KILLER whales for a reason.

i'd be bricking it if i was the Orca and humans were nearby

on a sidenote, how fast are they going? 20 knots?

 

[MrMarvelous]

Bloody hell, for an animal of that size they can shift!

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Awesome video but I had to turn the sound off because of that stupid woman.

 

[mrk]

I should buy a boat


All I could think about watching that was "I would so take 11,000 pictures of every breach". Amazing.

 

[CircleFaust]

they are getting seriously close to those rotars
would be amazing to see

I’m sure they will be fine, after all they’re highly clever and precise!

Not read any news about whales/dolphins being found ripped apart by boat rotors yet anyway which is good
