Orcas hunting seal on ice floe in Antarctica

[Johnh7390]

Every time the seal fell off I was thinking, 'come on little dude'

[ftghb]

they're just messing with the seal to teach their young...

[SKIFFDRIVER]

The Trials of Life! As I'm not unfamiliar with the intelligence of the Orca after commercial fishing for 18 years, I do enjoy the spectacull of this video, what most do not note is the fact that the Orca's obviously know, everytime they wash that wave over the ice it gets smaller, the seal would have been best suited to make a run for it in the middle of them just after the third wave, after that the seal was out of energy but one can still note the seal kept a low profile, a good feast ensued.

[binbashLinuxAhole]

I wonder if they response the same thing to Jap fishermen...

[shisnoking]

@binbashLinuxAhole Jap is a racial pejorative And orvas aren't actually whales.... +1 for effort though.

[piirken]

@shisnoking

I bet you didn't even give the horse you rode in on a courtesy reach around.

[shisnoking]

@piirken Nah I did. He came buckets

[binbashLinuxAhole]

Lmao how they washed the seal off, then throw it back to do again... smart asses...

[boomshuka]

Orcas are apex killers, gota love em.

[Wolkentaenzerin01]

hihi eine sehr hartnäckige robbe die einfach nicht sterben will!

[sanyboy92]

The killer whales are training their young ones in hunting for seals. Even those young killer whales have to go to school. :-D

[mperhaps]

Well don't leave us hanging! Did the whales efforts pay off or did they finally give up? I'm dying to know who won this battle royal.

[t97135862]

i would try to swim into the wave, but i understand that seals arent that intelegent

[Recedebo]

@t97135862 come on! if it dared to go into the water it would be dead probably! orcas are really fast and the seal wouldn't have enough time.

[t97135862]

@Recedebo not into the water but the wave the orcas generate so that it doesnt get knocked off the ice

[kalejphen]

imagine bein in the same position as the seal, i would cry

[hockygoalie3031]

id be scared poopless if i was that seal

[smiZers56]

[Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh]

FUCK, they are practicing. This is absolutely amazing.

[winsonloow4eixiong]

killer whales is a very smart animal

[reddragon122100]

Go team Orca!

[KhushalKhan86]

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, poor seal, damn you Orcas! Eat it or let it go!^^

[HunTerSpoT]

Orca used surf and it´s very effective...

[MsFaithspring]

The matriarch which is the mother is training the young ones.She trains them well so their execution is synchronised and perfect.That's how smart they are infact smarter than most humans.

[mobrien107]

i see this seal is smarter then the whales. ppl posting else where that orcas smarter if the orcas smart they have a whale wait at the end while others wash it out.

[bigwill619]

@mobrien107 it called training idiot

[mobrien107]

@bigwill619 if training they grab the seal then put it back on slab when done.

[NizzBomb69]

@mobrien107 orcas are plenty smarter than seals. i wouldn't have even thought of that

[kittykattbabaii]

ninja seal! PIKABOO!!!!!!!!!!

[bouncingpatches]

Ja, wurde sie.

Das Jungtier das hier "geschult" wurde hat die Robbe bekommen. Wohl als Belohnung.

Das war auch der Zweck der ganzen Aktion- drum "durfte" die Robbe ueberhaupt so lange leben.

Man sieht sehr deutlich, dass einer immer das Komando zum Angriff bzw. Wellen erzeugen gibt. Die anderen sollen sich dann moeglichst synchron verhalten. Wenn man genauer kuckt, sieht man unter den anderen auch oft den kleineren Orca (Mitte).

Ganz schoen clever...

[minicucu87]

wurde sie gefressen ?????????

[ironskillet2]

boo, i wanted to see that seal get completely demolished

[Irgentwer92]

Die Stimme aus dem Off macht das Video erst interessant :D *hopp* *da kommt se wieder* *und jetzt wieder.... uaaarrr!*

[DeineMusicx3]

Voll sünde für die Robbe.

Wie sie in Angst leben muss.

Aber so ist die Natur....

Wäre ich ne Robbe, würd ich mich sofort Fressen lassen, denn ich würde nicht gerne so in Angst leben

[Panonac022]

Training day for youngsters! Normal for Orca whales. Next time seal will end up as a nice meal.

[ghost4x3]

Great footage man. Must be frustrating for the orcas that their meal refuses to give up.

[heupling]

still alive, cool
