  • I absolutely love whales! I'm 10 I saw this when I went to Florida. We went a couple weeks ago. Best time of my life. Love you Shamu!

  • I just noticed the trees surrounding the tank. It seems like they just placed a giant pool full of exotic animals in the middle of an ordinary American forest. I know this isn't the case but that's the impression I got at first. Amazing show none the less.

  • is tilikum there! hate seaworld

  • These tail splashes are the best I have seen in this show. Whales are beautiful creatures. I loved watching them and they are well looked after here.

  • The whales are amazing & so is the show but you gotta think it's just like jail to them.

  • So amazing animals and so f*** people!!! Let them free!!!

  • I was in the dark about theme parks until I checked out bestvaluethemeparks (.) com

  • haha the audience looks retarded.

    <3animals :)

    sadly i eat some :| :| :|

  • i thiink this is wrong keeping a animal locked up for other people just to watch them .

    they need to be in the ocean where they belong (:

  • @69kla you should come to canada take a whale watching tour that is better then this bull s**t ugh pisses me off

  • WOAH BRILL KICKER TAKU! :):L

  • Here comes Tilly! i love him!

  • @callumtabs That wasn't TIlly. It was Taku. Back when they still had him at SWF

  • @sweetnessboy1 Seriously I thought that was tilly! Taku was amazing! He was like the Ulises of SWF

  • @callumtabs I know I agree! But Ulises can splash a little better. ;)

  • @sweetnessboy1 Haha! I thought it was amazing that they done waterwork with taku! :)

  • the whales dont like doing these stupid tricks they are foced to they have 2 choices. 1. do the tricks right and get fed or 2. dont listen and get starved!

  • @xjovibabyx actually if you did your research you would know that corky 2 refused to preform for 2 months and shes still alive

  • @xjovibabyx How do you know what they like? They are not forced to perform and they are fed whether they do or don't. Please don't just assume that they are badly looked after because you have no proof. Food deprivation is NEVER used as a training method.

  • FREE CAPTIVE WHALES !!!!!!!!!!!

  • WHAR

  • stupid retarded people!!! ANIMALS BELONG IN THE WILD. YOU PEOPLE BELONG IN CAPTIVITY

  • i love all animals there equally the same to use

  • These animals get so much love and attention. Not to mention all the food they can eat. What more could they ask for? They want for nothing. But if you are in this line of work, then be prepared if something were to happen. Even if they were out in the wild then they might end up on some european's hook. Better in the show than on the grill.

  • @jprice0311- Dolphinaria and aquaria routinely administer

    prophylactic antibiotics and ulcer medication to captive

    cetaceans.Bacterial infections are a common cause

    of death in these animals. Pneumonia, which is generally

    brought about by some other condition, such as stress

    or a compromised immune system,is the most

    commonly cited cause of death in the NMFSs Marine

    Mammal Inventory Report. Naomi A. Rose PhD-2009

  • @metridium Life's a bitch.......

  • The way they reduce these magnificent animals to entertainment for a bunch of children makes me want to vomit.

  • @chunkybongo Couldn't disagree more. The shows are only a tiny percentage of what they do with these whales. So much research which has lead to a higher sense of awareness, appreciation, and conservation has resulted from SeaWorld's work. My children have learned to respect and admire these wonderful animals as a result of seeing them at SeaWorld. We have also learned how intelligent they are. Many have learned to love them as a result of going to such "shows."

  • So they're philanthropists or something? Why don't they file for non profit status w the IRS then? They'll have even more research money, and can lobby for animal rights instead of making huuuge profits...i still want to vomit

  • 2) only 5.1% of these

    were the result of work with captive animals. Of these few studies,

    more than a third were conducted through institutions that are

    not open to the public. There were only two abstracts submitted

    by SeaWorld, the largest holder of captive marine mammals in the

    world. At several previous SMM biennial conferences, no major

    North American facility made a presentation. Naomi A. Rose PhD 2009

  • I FARTED :)

  • I remember when i went it was ausome

  • working for walt disney world in 2009 I know the consideration of employee in this kind of attraction park or resort park.

    they don't care of the employees, in this case the killer whale killed a trainer but the show goes on because they need the money of the guests that's it!!!!!! WALT DISNEY WORLD IS A SECTE AND MICKEY IS A GURU

  • yea i agree with 94james94 orcas and dolphins r completly different animals just look at the sizes and shapes and colors just way different animals haha i dont no who taught u your animals but that is a orac

  • Nice video, thanks for sharing. Cute dolphins but I feel sad if they're not happy...but they make the people watching them happy.

  • their orcas not dolpins?

    and who are you to decide weather their happy.

    are you a trained killer whale professional like the people that work their?

  • Orcas are large dolphins, so yes, a "killer whale" is a dolphin. I am not "deciding" if they're happy, I said I hope they are. For ex. when the trainer died yesterday, Tilikum was as she the audience not in a good mood so she was not going to do the show, she was circling the cage very quickly before coming at the trainer. I am not a professional in the field but I do have common sense.

  • @LAtoOC I agree with you. 94james94 and loveicats are wrong!

  • hey sorry 4 buttin in lyk dis but normally animals only listen to trainers commands if they are happy to do its same wid dogs n other animals 2!

  • does "killer whale" doesn't mean that they are whales not dolphins??? dot confuse them they are to different animals with just a few thinks in common

  • rofl rofl i remember when i did the SHAMU SHAMU thing i think its crazy my dad looked so funny doin that i got soaked

  • I love that song at the end

  • whether or not people agree with this is there opinion, however the average day to day doesnt see a whale, and getting to experience one first hand in the most accessable place, could well put a person in the right step of respecting these animals, theyre at a theme park which educates aswell as entertains, not a game hunting park were harpoons are given out at the main gate

  • See them in the wild, were they don't have to do tricks X_--

  • thats fair enough, but thats you, and you are lucky to do so, but again referring back to my point, alot of people dont get the chance you did. Still, share your experiences with people, it must of been amazing

  • thanks!!! Im so agree with you is not the fault of the park or the trainer and either the whale that trainer dead because Tilikum does are things that happen maybe an error from the trainer or the whale had a bad they and amybe some reason like that together with the fact that is a killer whale provocate that tragedy

  • Yeah, Tilikum had been involved in deaths before, 2 actually. Seaworld knew he was a different kind of whale, but still gave him a chance. It's nobodies fault, just something that can happen, and it did.

  • n also dey r a wild animal so no matter how much u train dem der r still a wild n sumtyms we 4get dat n dont respect dem but wot u sed may b tru 2!

  • All these dumb humans chanting for animal curelty. Digusting :(

  • where's the cruelty? please explain.

    these aniumals are cared for 24/7 and are loved and cared for. WELL cared for. a PUPPY MILL is animal cruelty. whale HUNTING is animals cruelty. sea world is not animal cruelty. these whale WANT to learn. if they didnt, all those trainers would be ripped apart in the water. those whales respect and love us trainers and we trainers love and respect them even more. your comment is very offending.

  • Just because you are brainwashed and conditioned as a young kid/animal doesn't mean you like it. You just don't know any other way. You can't tell me these whales really need to do these tricks just because we want them to. Just lock them away from people in some reservoir somewhere were they can lead a peacefull and unbothered life -__-

  • I never saw a Orca in real, I am wondering how it is.

  • I love sea world, in fact I went today, but they need to add a "large sea-mammal" exibit including a blue whale:)

  • do you have any idea how big a blue whale is and look at how big shamus tank is a bue whale wouldnt be able to fit in that tank

  • this show its awsome people that might go to see this and really wanna get wet sit at the left part of the stadium and dont open ur mouth cuz the water dosent taste good**hahaha

  • I know something else that doesn't taste that good either and is full of proteins -__-

  • PLease don't be extra sensitive for the world and do accept that everyone dies and no one will ever be undying.

    Do you guys ever know about sustainable use of the natural resources.

    If you were to Asia or any other place with long history or in other words if you know about the ancient civilizations of people (probaly our acestors), you guys would get to know how they have been living with the wild creatures being domesticated. Please be REALISTICS. Don't be so optimistic about those.

  • you rock tillikum!!!

  • sweet

  • sea world is the best :) gud vid!

  • what u call them people who do all the skills with the wales?

  • BOO!!!! Sea World sucks!!! BOO!!!!!

  • BOO!! PinkSexyDiva sucks!!! BOO!!!!!

  • i <3 shamu

  • Amazing Great whales :)

  • These animals are not FORCED to do anything! How in the hell are you going to "FORCE" a 4-6 TON mammal to do anything?!?!? If anything, the whales are the ones who call the shots.

  • You ALL should really do your research. These whales were not captured and taken out of captivity. In fact, there is only ONE whale still alive that was taken from Captivity in the last 40 years. Her name is Lolita. These whales are all decendants of the 100 or so whales captured in the 60's or 70's. They were all born in captivity.

    I suggest that you buy the "Believe" DVD at Sea World & watch the "Behind the Scenes" shots to see how much these whales are loved & how well they're treated.

  • That's Bullshit! Kasatka, ulises, corky, Tilikum, Katina, and Tilikum were all captured not including Lolita, before you defend captivity PLEASE get your facts straight.

  • xoookissthisooox- To the best estimate, as of November 1997, 102 of the 133 captured killer whales in marine parks and aquariums worldwide have died. One escaped. 30 are still alive, and a further 18 captive-bred are also alive. PBS-Frontline. ( I suggest you read something other than Sea World propaganda. )

  • Since 1987 over 50% of the adult Sea World orcas have died."This is a deplorable record. Both Sea World and Annheuser-Busch, owners of Sea World, must be held accountable. The public needs to know why so many animals have died. Sea World is clearly lacking in their care and handling of these magnificent animals. It is such a waste!"Kelly Keagy-Bullock, spokesperson for the Free Corky Project,

  • Yeah, please free Corky and watch her die.

  • If they really "freed" them, they would die because they have no idea how to live outside of captivity.

  • the show is awesome, but the song is so repetitive, gets anoying. lmao

  • the animals aren't forced to do thing at sea world they do what things they are asked to do sometimes they don't the point is sea world doesn't treat animals with cruelity

  • I don't like the idea of keeping them in captivity, but it's incredible to watch.

    I'm unsure, I mean, It's not like i know exactly how they are kept out of shows.

    I just don't think they should have to be forced to listen to that horribly cheesy music!

  • اه

  • Was that Tilikum on 3:27 when he jumped?

  • No OrcaWhalefan68, that was Taku and Ikaika.

  • The reluctance of many marine parks - especially Sea World - to release accurate

    information relating to orca deaths also extends to its employees. Many marine park

    employees are unaware of what constitutes natural health and lifespan amongst wild

    orcas and are led to believe that many of the captives which have died in their teens

    and twenties were in any case nearing the end of their natural lifespan. "Dying to Entertain You" Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.

  • i was right there! i got soaked!

  • i LOVE the wet zone xD

  • Something you guys need to reed up on before you go nuts tree hugging....... Sea World has a tough and strick policy or NEVER forcing the animals to do anything type of "trick" or "stunt". The animals are given a signal for certain things and are given rewards for both doing and not doing what was asked. Also most of these animals where saved from the wild, if released would never have survived on their own.

  • it is a 100 times better for the orcas to die in the nature than being forced to life in these tiny basins

  • i don't think its right to keep animals in captivity but i do think its amazing to see how smart they are

  • jenifer i so agree with you i think that they really hurt him not in a slap way but with the whole water tank stress !!! They should let him go

  • Get off your damn high horse you are nothing more then a wacko. I know people who go hunting and have more respect for the environment then you do. If it was up to you ever one would be living in caves.

  • Coming from someone who would want to throw the thing back in the wild when it was not rised there. I bet you are the kind of person who thinks that people should not own dogs.

  • And why don't you grow the hell up.

  • watch Gong Yoo the goldfish swim through hoops!!!watch?v=aWR2RgLX61o

  • i could still remenber the water that the whale trough at u and it was so cool u rock sea world.

  • i love seaworld its the best place on earth(well besides disneyworld)lol

  • Aww . . I love Shamu <3

  • ong thats soooo kool it is bitchen

  • i was there!!!

  • the one in San diego is much better

  • I honestly thought the Believe show was a waste the shows before it were much better.

  • Shamu is cute!ive been to sea world i got a stuffed animal of him :D

  • I saw him and it was pretty much waste of time wud have rather spent that day at bush gardens or islands of adventures

  • I remember when I saw the show for the first time one kid hated "Shamu" because the whales didn't splash him. I think they waste a little bit to much time splashing everyone, I think there should be more behaviors! xD

  • ah but that is! when they egt akai and shamu to cross eachpother and splash.. that was a learned behavior! but yes i understand what you mean

  • the show hasnt changed one bit..ive went this summer it was awesome shamu shamu.....shamu shamu.. some reason i liked the show with the dolphins better, idk y

  • Its Taku and ikaika in theis vid (:

    Tillikum is ALOT bigger :D

  • i LOVE sea world. i did their swimming with the dolphins it was AMAZING!!!!!!! we saw the show like 4 times i think. maybe more. we always sat in the soak zone :)

  • went to shamu show at sea world last week, loved it so amazing

  • go shamuuuuuuu!!!!! i LUV UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

  • Cool:)

    i LOVE SHAMU!!

    The orcas in that video are Taima and Tillikum.

  • i think it's cruel they make animals do tricks... they r locked up in a tank when they could b free .... also the poor tank conditions were bad on the popular willy from free willy .. free the poor things they r not 4 entertainment or money lyk sea world gets... they r 2 b free GO GREEN PEACE!!

  • Your a dumb ass. This is not a movie. And if you really believe ever thing a movie says it's even worse. This is about the only way for people to learn anything about Killer whiles. It's away to bridge a gap and learn that they are not going to hurt or kill people.

  • dude they are in super good conditions

  • if u r readin ma coments, read the 3rd one from the top FIRST x love yooh xxx

  • I ALSO SWAM WIDDE DOLPHINS!

    They are happy. You guys slagging the training off?

    GET STUFFED.

    Oh and was any1 watching that WHo Dares sings? U no the holiday he won? THATS THE HOTEL I STAYED IN!

    my ambition in life is to work with shamu or with the dolphins in one of those parks.

    So dont diss. Or well take it to the parking lot. LOL

    All my lovies i miss u shamuu!! Mae xxx

  • Right, firstly all you people that r saying 'they r workin 2 the bone, they are being kept cruelly, bla fu**ing blah...

    1 - Most of you havn't actually SEEN the F'in show

    2 - Those whales are capable of kilin the trainers in 2 seconds. But they dont, do you know why? COS

    3 - Those animals are treated fairly, with love, respect and with all the care they need.

    I saw the show twice it was THE Most amazing thing im my life and it bought a tear to my eye.

  • i love orcas even if there in the wild or captivity there still alive

  • What The Audeience Never Knew.. Was That They Were Telling Shamu To Splash Lol :dx

    Loveeeeeeeeee Shamu x

    Love The Music x

    K x

  • vshogun79, this video is only as stupid as the people who get their panties in a bunch over it.

  • first off, the person that sent you a comment is my little sister. second off, i would never watch stupid bullshit like this. third, why don't you fuck off.

  • I think it makes us humans look really simple when we pay to have a whale do tricks with a beach ball, set to horrible music, and we clap and get excited when the whale splashes us with it's tail. We are so stupid!!! Raising animals for our entertainment is horrid! "Saving these animals" to ride on their backs is not helping them! Notice there is hardly anyone in the audience?

  • i saw the show 4 times and the Shamu rocks and i wish the uk had it. i will never forget the show and i want to go back. NO I WILL BE GOING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is a reply to 'TroubledTeen1994'. You seriously need to find out about things before you assume. They DO NOT work whales to the bone AT ALL. The bond that the whales and their trainers share is amazing. They don't force the whales to do anything and they don't punish the animals. Your ignorance will catch up with you someday.

    Love and hugs to Shamu

  • I agree with you completely. Some people who comment on here are just ridiculous and ignorant! I'm an animal lover and I just got back from Sea World - the shows were amazing and all the animals are healthy and loved! People who criticize Sea World trainers or people who love to watch the shows are just stupid. If certain people are so concerned about animals and the whales at Sea World, what, if anything, are THEY doing besides posting idiotic and uninformed opinions on You Tube?

  • i luv shamu he is sooo cute! x

  • whoo! i love shamu =DDD

  • i saw it yesterday in orlando, fl. the best sea world park of all.yea!

  • wooooooooo

  • There Whales Not Machienes! Those Trainers Work Those Animals to The Bone! I Wouldnt take I Wold Drowned those FUCKERS!!!

  • Hey dont do that im a shamu trainer and if you say that Troubledteen1994 its not true I work round the clock to help work with these whales and if you are against captivity dont watch these videos. Plus you chose a good name because you are a Troubled Teen.

  • well i saw it yesterday so stuff u

  • I love him, hes such a little ham! Shamu love

  • christ mae u should of stayed home

  • I saw this show last week in orlando and its too egotistic and what a load of rubbish with that wavy hand chant 'shamu shamu' and that stupid boy thing as if hes ment to be grown up from seeing a whale when he was little then running on with a paddle and the trainers talking to the audience we came to see a killer whale show not a bunch of big headed trainers who blow dog whistles its pathetic to make the whales act. Then they try and make you buy a wodden whale tale for like £3 its all a con.

  • No one FORCED you to go watch it.

  • Somthing very tacky about this video ,why not go out on a boat and see them in there natural form

  • Panem et circensium

    Orca abused in slavery to an ignorrant public.

    More than just very very sad... not a bit funny!

  • When i saw this show it was brill, at sea world they care about there animals, and also most of them were born in captivity... so you cant let them back into the wild beacuse they would die, and also they are much better where they are!!!!

  • They are much better off in the wild then they are in captivity. In captivity they are prone to stress because of chemically altered water, false social groupings and small tanks. Go investigate the whale Namu and the whales Corky II and Kandu V you will see what I mean.

  • swosusbest08 you f-ing idiot. Orcas live an average of about 25 (or less) years in captivity, yes even at seaworld. In the wild male Orcas can live to be 50 years old with in many cases males up to their 60's and females up the their 70-80's. So have at that one you asshole shit face.

  • Whales die in the wild I know, and they might be safer in 'SeaWorld' but ITS A WHALE NOT A SHOWCASE.

    Its an animal.

    Its a living creature and Im not one of those 'Save the world' people, I just hate this!

    That Whale has been told to swim around in a TANK for others entertainment and let some man ride on his back.

    Hes a Whale, not a surfboard!

    I would never go into one of those places, Id feel sick.

    This should be illegal.

  • poor animals!

  • why??

  • Hey im a shamu trainer im not trying to be rude but elfil76 I have been working to save these animals and help bridge the gap between man and beast. And most of them were born in captivity. So they are not sad animals or poor animals we give them the care they need.

  • so yeh um... so what if they have only killed a couple of trainers, which must mean they get everything they want, and how would they know the difference between captivity and the ocean seeming as most orcas born in captivity die so taking more from the wild at a young age so they can be broken in cant be too bad... you complete dumb ass!

  • they die in the wild too you idiot ass. They are safer at sea world

  • O so what your saying is that we should capture all the whales and put them zoos and amusement parks coz it's safer for them, get a grip you twat!

  • yes that is exactly what i'm saying

  • killer whales need mental stimulation in their day to day lives something that can not be provided to captive bred animals. You may say that they get all the mental stimulation they need but what about at night. They do not require much sleep so endlessly swim at night with nothing to do, leading to depression and mental unbalance. It's not fair to the whale, and is a form of animal cruelty.

  • yeah um... If they were so depressed they would kill those trainers and thats only happened once maybe twice where they attack trainers. They get everything they want and they are bred in captivity so they dont know the difference between the ocean and their tank. To put them back into the ocean would be animal cruelty. They wouldn't know what to do.

  • Hey Jackass try watching this clip of how the whales were captured:

    Orca Pod Destroyed In Japan

    p.s your a complete and utter prick!

  • i would love to do the show or be the killer whae

  • they shouldn't have killer whales in captivity like that...it is very sad. imagine

    if you were a whale and they put you in a tank

    with a thousand people watching you.

  • Actually, you guys, these whales are not like us humans. They don't hold grudges if kept from the wild, and they do not mind either way if they are kept in captivity or not. I'm sure they find contentment in doing an impressive trick and then getting praised by their audience. They wouldn't cooperate if they didn't enjoy their jobs.

  • splashes didn't go very far

  • uhhh yea they did

  • splashes didn't go very far

  • hw u train an animal like that?

  • Awsome tricks! That was so great. I'm so ready for vaction now!!!

  • reminds me of pentacostian cell meeting

  • AHHHH!!! why do people keep giant whales in captivity??? WHY??? why did they take them out of there watery home anyway???

    I wud hate being kept in a tank with people screaming at me!!!no wonder whales in cativity attack humans! i'm on the whales's side! WHALES SHUD BE FREEEEEE!!!

  • the whales have fun doing tricks especially when the trainor makes it fun for them,and if Shamu didnt like her job she wouldnt do the tricks at all:)

  • They get fed even when they dont do tricks, and they are well looked after, i agree they shouldnt be used like this, but if they were let back into the wild they would die anyway bacause they dont know how to survive. And seaworld rescue injured whales and when they are well again they let them go. These whales have been there since babys.

  • prasing shamu?uhhh thats kind of a cheering song i dont no if u no that but thats like his logo

  • why are they prasing shamu?

  • the whale made the women wet - LoL

  • very well intelligit animals it will be are job to keep them on this earth for as long ass possible

  • I saw the show in san antonio a couple years ago. The girl who was in the show, and the music, was so extrodinary. It really made me stand in awe of God. It was very moving.

  • great show but i have to say the one down here in san diego is better

  • its gd is int it i was there

  • that would be the COOLEST job in the world! I would LOVE to do that! i love whales and dolphins so if someone said "hey you wanna go to seaworld and train with whales?" I would be packed in 5 seconds

  • it was amazing:D i miss this place<3

  • when i went there i sat at the top
