[MrHaderia]

This is nature. Nature don't give a shit.

[buhlayke]

God damn, if only they had the sense to live on mainland ice. That way they could alternate between escaping their respective prey.

3:25

Looks like its fate... [puts on glasses] ... has been sealed.

YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH­......

[iBringTheRain]

3:29 makes me laugh, i'm so heartless

[sasmalta75]

Actually if you watch the whole documentary till the end.....there will be a part called freeze frame....shows you the hardship of the camera men trying to film......it was based on the part of filming the orcas wave......they were on a small boat filming close ups....the orcas actually did the wave on the boat....it was amazing to watch....you could see the camera men's faces lol

[SeriousAsianGuy]

hahahahaha funny.

[BobTheMunificent]

[fleszmuzik]

[ShnuckFuckle]

fuck being that seal...

[PinKWingSAngeL]

I know its nature and all but 3:21 D:

awhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!

[tarayith]

I only recently realised that orcas are actually the largest member of the dolphin family rather than true whales so they're probably much more intelligent than people realise. Several recent documentaries about their hunting tactics have led me to firmly believe they are amongst the most intelligent animals on the planet.

[LowerMoonDOG]

Just one more metre onto the ice and he would have been safe! Really felt for this seal.

[OCPios62]

Orca whales are dicks.

[charlie2434]

You can see right at the end in the seals eyes that he knows that he is done for, poor little fella.

[AnAutumnsDay]

The only thing that I find a little bit disturbing about the Orcas killing the seal , is not that they do it, (that's nature after all and they must kill to survive ) but it's the way they do it , as they seem( to me anyway) to be enjoying it?

[IAmADalek]

@AnAutumnsDay It's not enjoying a hunt, all nature programs describe the methods seperate pods use to hunt as "enjoying the kill", it's just a very efficient way of hunting. Exhaust the prey, it can't strike back so there's little chance of getting bitten. When they throw Sea Lion Pups, it's to help kill the pup without those sharp teeth striking back. Land predator's have it easy compared to animals like Orca's and Sharks.

[AnAutumnsDay]

@IAmADalek I personally believe that Orcas are highly intelligent animals , perhaps with an intelligence that is much more sophisticated than we even realise. Therefore , is it not conceivable that the hunt and the despatch of their prey , may not have turned into a form of fun or even enjoyment for these apex predators. It is not unknown amongst Humans to enjoy the the thrill of the chase /hunt , now is it? and if these animals are as intelligent as I believe they are - well ?

[JPRadley721]

this is as tense as a Hollywood thriller...

[joelcrofts]

The seal's face at the end is heartbreaking </3

[NRielle]

All of that work for one seal?!

[sepiasilence]

@NRielle Watch the next episode, they catch themselves a minke whale

[BearSonOne]

there is killing prey and then there is playing with food. Killer whales = sadistic bastards

[MrFlickapoo]

once again the BBC are showing Hollywood how real drama, edge of the seat thriller, no CGI and great storytelling should be brought to the screen. Unfortunately, they will never learn

[JimmyTheKiller]

i always feel so sorry for the animal that loses

[tookiebroon]

1:16 NOOOOOOOO :L

[GAYSCOUSER23]

david attenborough single handedly justifies the tv licence!

[ignorantpom]

I know it's nature and what not but i can't help but think that these orcas are a right bunch o' cunts.

[mert1875]

@ignorantpom Agreed. Just eat the damn seal, stop dicking about to show how clever you are.

[101truthhurts]

Wolves of the sea.

[101truthhurts]

@SOVET, Orca knows how to turn sharks up-side-down and immobilise them.

[101truthhurts]

What a brilliant piece of film making. David and his team deserve every award that they're open to. This is stunning.

[S0VlET]

i'm surprised that jaws was a great white and not an Orca.

[aidyk85]

am I the only who saw the 'Awwwww Crap!' expression the seals face and cracked up laughing ? Gotta respect the sheer power and intelligence of the Orca though.

[greenracoon505]

props to the people who were filming this not just david attenborough's narrating. although he is great too.

[NigelH1316]

Yes, in a way you have to have sympathy for the seal, but yet you have to admire - nay, respect - the intelligence of these fascinating Orcas. Not only to work out how to dislodge their prey, but to work together as a team to provide what is, let's face it, no more than a meal for one of them.

Once again, Mr Attenborough and the BBC have provided a fantastic insight into just one small aspect of Mother Nature's beauty and the harsh reality of life on this planet. Long may they continue.

[RagooChloee]

This is such a wee shame :(!

[AnAutumnsDay]

The more I see of Orcas , the more I wonder just how intelligent these animals really are . I cannot find anything on the net , that says that Orcas seek to attack and eat humans, which makes you wonder why not (they could do it easily) I am beginning to wonder if these animals know , that it is best to leave us well alone because as long as they do , then we will not have an excuse to kill them, as we do with almost every other animal that we regard as a threat to our safety.

[raverdeath100]

@AnAutumnsDay funny you should say that. off the coast of baja calif', during the 1700's and 1800's, whales were hunted and whaling ships were attacked. when whaling stopped, the whales continued to attack the mexican fishing boats... up to about 20 years ago. now whales surface for the tourist boats on cue. they even allow people in rowing boats to touch them. i wonder, did they call a truce? the more we know, the more intelligent they appear. not having tech' doesn't mean they're stupid.

[AnAutumnsDay]

@raverdeath100  "not having tech doesn't mean they're stupid" - totally agree!!

[ImSoGangsta97]

@AnAutumnsDay or maybe its because humans dont go simming in the arctic?

[AnAutumnsDay]

@ImSoGangsta97 well maybe if Orcas were confined solely to Arctic waters, that might be a valid point, but considering they are not , well ..........

[MrJamesohh]

sir david astounding me yet again.

[krazyangelkat81]

incredible and scary all at the same time!

they are so powerful and clever

[azra31]

hahaha

[MCisthebestbyfar]

This is fascinating. I wrote an essay on this very behaviour literally last week and I hadn't understood the power of the wave that these whales create and what kind of effect it has. I'll tell you, it's certainly more impressive when watching it rather than reading about it and studying diagrams!! I have so much more respect for them now!

[suckerfree23]

MARCUS, STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD!!!!

[smooverider209]

Sliding to death

[UncutTruimph]

Why so many dislikes? is it because the seal died? this is nature people, its not all puppy dogs and rainbows.

[MrPenguinPerson]

@UncutTruimph Finally! Someone with sense!

[SeriousAsianGuy]

@UncutTruimph 6 dislikes you retard.

[CorDeGeleia]

='( awwwnn .... But it sure is impressive!

[MrJoubada]

Wtf bbc I ain't one for dying seals

[BORNTOWELSH]

Is the Orca trying to save them or attack?

[TheMsEleanor]

:O poor seal way to go bbc depress me why dont you

[Joeaviation1712]

Thats incredible

[OhGodItHurts]

jesus fuck bbs, be more depressing will you
