  • them killer whales are...killer

  • 2 hour battle? That is nuts!

  • Yes! Good riddince, ya loony orcas

  • The calf did die they found it the next day  washed up on the beach at moss landing

  • Thumbs up if you wanted to see that calf get ripped apart.

  • I've seen one on TV where they succeeded and it really got me down :(

  • That shit kipt sloing down

  • did u guys see the rainbow at 1:16?

  • @115ivan What rainbow?

  • @HellsAngel1212 maybe at 1:14 wait for it

  • Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on the beach one night see video book trailer

  • I was so happy the calf made it! Yayyyy!

  • As for the theory of Megalodon Vs. Killer whales. Orcas FAILED to kill a the whale. Megalodon being as big as a sperm whale would have devastated an orca even when their in pack as tigers overpower wolves being unable to fight back.

  • Thats one crazy pickel you know what i mean

  • GO WHALES!

    WELL DONE BABY, WELL DONE MOM!

    by the way, both of them are very, very smart!

    I am so thankfull for this happy end!

  • GO WHALES!

    WELL DONE BABY, WELL DONE MOM!

  • I have been to Monterey Bay :P

  • would be sick if i was a killer whale lol

  • if one orca eats a gray whale then it is natural.

    If Japan, Norway and Iceland kill whales then it is more than a brutal act on the natural

  • Yay the Grey Whales lived lol :D

  • damn thats sad

  • Killer whales are so baller

  • Great escape!Killer whales are all over Monterey bay they are extremely smart and quick. I witnessed two killer whales one time trying to hunt a seal it was rather unevering. I was running Del Monte Beach they caught it.I was born and raised in Monterey,CA, ran Del Monte Beach every day for five years from Monterey to Seaside right on the bay.Saw other animals twice saw great white shark fins lots of otters and seals. Would never swim in that water ever, but the beach great place to run.

  • almost brought tears to my eyes seeing the mother & baby grey whale being ambushed & killed by the killer whales.....

    .......the ending finaly made me smile as they escaped unharmed :)

  • LOL- i watched on yesterday where this happened in open sea but with a happier ending

    the killer whales killed the POS calf and all they did was bit its tongue out

    LOL

  • SEA LIONS WIN

  • Poor whales! :(

  • Do A Barroll Roll!

  • just keep spinning! just keep spinning! just keep spinning spinning spinning ! what do we do we spin spin (nemo)!!!!

  • Wolves of the sea indeed. What a great piece of footage this was. Thanks HBS

  • @LordSnow69 ... Right!!!! totally awesome footage

  • Happy ending aweeeeeeee. then came the japanese whale killers and killed both tilikum group and the grey whale pair

  • idk i wish that the grey whale being 30 tonnes had sum kool way of attacking,the killer whales, even swollow them whole!! go grey whale you do that kool spinning technic,remeber..if your ever attacked by anything like a dog or lion remeber to keep spinning!!!!! lol

  • i want one of those fuckers to protect my house

  • ah nature, isnt it wonderful! the thing to remember is that this predation event has been going on for millions of years. long before we silly humans turned up and put labels on it, like mean and cruel. it's the circle of life, hunter and prey, kill or be killed. heartwreching this may be to some people, we are privaledged to witness it.

  • @goatboyful ... Excellent post friend and I agree 100%

  • @goatboyful your right this is a privaledge to witness this either who do or we die

  • @goatboyful

    So we're silly to label it as mean or cruel, but not silly to label ourselves as "privileged"?

  • @captainunload well yeah.it's nature at work and human's being human's we often look at struggles like this and want to put a label on it to.....i guess rationalize our feelings. but we are indeed fortunate,lucky and privileged to witness it.

  • @goatboyful

    I was drawing attention to your hypocrisy. You judge people who find it cruel as being "silly", yet you find it awe inspiring and something we should feel "privileged" to witness. Both feeling pity and feeling privileged are equally emotional. Why should anyone feel anything?

  • @captainunload weel that is human nature isn't it? to feel. and hypocrisy....isn't that human as well?

  • @goatboyful ah shut up.

  • @griessinthewood LOL, why...did i touch a raw nerve or something?

  • @goatboyful No You're preaching the obvious that everyone knows. So it's like shut the hell up nobody wants to hear your holier than thou crap

  • @griessinthewood well that's charming.and what have you brought to the table to help this discussion?anything relevant,anything insightful,anything at all?

  • @goatboyful ahhh shut up

  • Killer Whales are like the assholes of the ocean. They hunt just about every other mammal including other whales, dolphins, and seals. To add insult to injury, they look so darn cute!

  • mother's love......

  • 1:16 , pretty rainbow~

  • go killer whale people you dont like it then u are going down

  • Did i just start respecting Gray Whales....i was rooting for the Killer Whales aswell xD

  • I saw a rainbow made by the whale at 1.16

  • Go grey momma whale! Way to save your baby! Orcas are the wolves of the ocean. They're beautiful though.

  • like watching paint dry

  • killer whales rule for all u people who hate killer whales you suck

  • LMAO funniest fuckin thing i've heard all day

  • Wow the marine biologist was so happy to see the mother and calf get attacked. What a bitch.

  • No, what she said was she was excited to see Killer Whales hunting together. This is nature man.

  • and she was so exicited to see that scene!! lol.. that bitch need to be attack by gray whale!!

  • @pinas2009na Yep, looks like she was having a whale of a good time!

  • torpedo escape...dammn..lol

  • Lol, "do a barrel roll!"

  • Amazing Escape

  • HA! About time killer whales got taken to school! That grey whale calf is my new hero. The mother too.

  • Get R' done!!!

  • video wonderfull.

  • that was cool!

  • Absolutely amazing footage of a rarely viewed battle for survival. Sure, I was pulling for mother and calf, but I was doing so fully aware that Mother Nature is a bitch, and that we humans, and what we "want," are absolutely miniscule in the overall scope of life on this planet. This time, the predator lost. Next time, it may be the opposite. Killer whales need to eat too, after all.....

  • wow! that is Awesome, in the true sense of the word!

  • Kill Willy!

  • I'm crying :( Such a fight.Baba whale struggled for his life :( So hard to see things like that.

  • Nature is pretty brutal sometimes. As humans we're pretty detached from the realities of survival.

  • Comment removed

  • Heart Warming

  • You must be morally superior to everyone who can.

    *aplauding*

  • you are such a typical human, always trying to prevent nature from taking its course.

  • Are you kidding me? Killer whales have to eat to live. If you save all the antelope from being eaten by the lions, the lions die. That's just how nature is.

  • Yup. Natural Selection

  • I was commenting about the jagoffs who think every fucking battle in nature has to be filmed so viewers can get their rocks off after watching "Cops" and "Big Brother".

  • You enjoy the clip as well. what's up with the suddent fake guilt anyway.

    I like it when the underdog wins .

  • I swam thru that area one time, and had the same problem, allthough I did'nt have a large whale to help me, I only had my fists..

    long story short, the killer whales knew better to mess with me, from then on..

  • You are my hero!

  • mama protecting her young.

    =]

  • thats awsome and crazy footage

  • Amazing footage!

  • Los videos son muy interesantes pero no sé el idioma inglés. Soy de Argentina y quisiera saber cómo hacer para verlo y escucharlo subtitulado pues lo he buscado y no existe.

    Agradecería si me pueden informar sobre el tema del idioma y asi poder disfrutar y dar mi opinión.

    Graciela.

  • es dificil que lo encuentres con subtitulos al menos q National Geographic lo haga asi...pero basicamente es de las ballenas asesinas tratando de separar el hijo de una ballena gris que es mucho mas grande, de su madre...la tratan de sumergir para ahogarla, pero no lo pudieron hacer. la ballena gris hija daba bueltas para evitar que las asesinas la empujaran y la alejaran de su madre..cuando lo consiguieron..la madre logro rescatar a su hija...muy cool!!! dejame saber si necesitas mas detalle!

  • bring in the BLUE whale

  • woot woot! gray whale 1, killers zip!

  • 2 things-

    1.) Killer whales are dicks

    2.) Nancy, it's not exiting seeing a gang of whales bash up a mother and baby

  • A happy ending for all, next bedtime story please''

  • cause i really wasnt paying attention, at 1:10 i thought she had a sniper

  • Fuckin A. Whales and dolphins are cool

  • thats so fuckin brutal, i would love to see a peta idiot watch this and realize how brutal the wild really is

  • That's bizarre, that 7 ton predators don't use their jaws at all in hunting? I expected to see some blood.

  • maybe it's because they jaws can't fit around the body of the gray whales

    kind like humans trying to bite an elephant

  • Amazing stuff. GO NAT GEO!!!

  • killer whales are gay.

  • How so? They only screw members of their same sex?

    Please, explain how you came to such an amazing theory.

  • Well? How are they gay?

  • stoopid killer whales

  • yayy!

  • That was a very interesting video.

  • ... and they lived happily ever after. THE END

  • I hate killer whales.

  • yea. but theyre still dolphins after all and dolphins have always been cute <3~

  • survival of the fittest, GO GRAY WHALES!

  • GTFO KILLER WHALES

  • when you get your pecking order mixed up, you go home hungry.

  • I am always amazed when people say " cruel killer whales", or "evil lion", etc. How about they're hungry and they want to eat? They were born to be predators, they cannot graze and eat seaweed. I also feel very sorry for the little calf, but unfortunately this is how the world is working, for the better or the worse.

  • Grey Whales 1 Killer Whales 0

  • YAY GTFO KILLER WHALES

  • i live in monterey. I had no idea this happens hahahaha

    does this make me a bad person :( lol

  • yes

  • :(

    sorry youtube hahah

  • I'd piss my pants if i were swimming and saw a whale!!! they are scary!

  • glad the calf didnt get eaten =) woulda made me sad to bad the killer whales went hungry though EAT some fish dammit not baby calfs =( or grey whale Babies? hm ya i think

  • so you want poor inicent little fish to die and not a whale?

  • well its not like u c Grey whale calfs often U rarely see them u have to be a marine bioligist or u know wat idk but She is lucky to c them and wat fish hay theres a fish eat it There alot more abundant its not rare to c a fish c wat im saying and its not like there inocent there fish like ya they were ment to Be Eaten Theres f*cken fishsticks For *&%&DAmmit i just dont wanna c a baby calf get eaten thats all =( it be sad and there liie Huge to wat she say a ton :O

  • See how great God is? He created these killer whales so they could try to kill the innocent whale calf. Thats why I'm an atheist! The poor calf was lucky this time but not all of them are. Y'all can keep believing in a God who lets killer whales kill an innocent calf.

  • Next time you eat a hamburger remember what you said.

  • I'm an atheist too, but there is no innocence among animals, there's only eat or be eaten.

  • That's "an Atheist", and you can shame me all you want, it's not gonna' change the fact that I don't believe in the Christian God.

  • michel19612009, that's a seriously stupid comment. He should be ashamed for using his brain? For thinking; for reasoning? He should be ashamed for not believing in invisible monsters and fairies that were made up by cave people to explain things like thunder, lightening, floods and droughts?

    *HE* should be ashamed???

    Grow up and come out of your mythology. There's a world of reality out here.

  • hahahah

  • FREE WHILLIE !

  • cool

  • whales r fuckin scary

  • i never new that they actualy eat whales i thought it was just a name

  • Good one!

  • Well.. it was good practice for the killer whales though :)

  • poor baby O.o

  • Killer Whales are mean...leave the calf alone!! it's just a baby.

  • phew THAT WAS INTENSE!

  • TAKE THAT KILLER WHALES!

  • that wuz close for tha calf

  • am i seeing this right... ?? a national geographic video that's actually available in my country?? my goodness, why did i ever think it was an absolute irony that a media company that covers worldwide events would restrict most of their videos from being available to the global population.

  • may be its your country that its censuring it

  • nope, i'm in canada right now, and they've never had a reason to restrict american content.

  • That's getting me hot. Now I just want to fuck a Killer Whale because now I know we're all the same. We all bleed red!

  • bahahahah

  • I'm a scientologist, and I've studied grey whales. National Geographic is such bullshit now, they're do anything for a nickel.

  • What does being a scientologist have to do with studying grey whales?

  • Do some research and visit the church, you'll learn about our endeavors and studies. You'll be nothing but pleasantly surprised!

  • No disrespect intended, but I've read the book Dianetics and it did nothing for me, as do none of the other religions familiar to people today. I still see no reason to mention it in the same breath as marine biology.

  • fuck the the killer whales

  • FINALLY!!  a national geographic video that is actually available in my country!

  • how did the human evolutionary family tree come into a conversation on killer whales vs. grey whales.

  • i know the rule let nature take its course but i cant just watch it happen a mother lose her baby

  • I feel the same, although humans should let nature take its course, I was rooting for the Mom and calf. They used some pretty impressive defensive maneuvers.

  • my bad i put the same comment twice

  • im a jehova witness and theres no such thing as evolution

  • im a jehova witness. theres no such thing as evolution. n stuff like dat

  • Orcas are the big cats of the sea; they rule the part of the world they live in.

  • lol i love this narrotor . the grey whales look nasty xD but i feel bad for them :( poor calf

  • Wow, Nice video ... Something we rarely see in life. Great captured film.

  • Amazing Footage, Amazing info, Good stuff

  • time to eat

  • vx1000

  • gray? grey?

  • US = gray

    UK = grey

  • Canada also spells it Grey, like the UK.

  • Whales are a vital asset in the ocean habitat/ecosystem. It may be scary to be near them, but they're harmless....At least to humans.

  • fuck the whales!

  • You swim with the fishes your dead sons of bitches.

  • Interesting, never seen that before.

  • SAVE THE WHALES, HARPOON A FAT CHICK

  • hahaha lol human blubber& > whale blubber&, thats what we need

  • Wow, I feel really sadistic right now, I actually wanted to see the whales get eaten...

  • yeah me too

  • Incredible!

  • Nice video thanks.

  • awesome very cool yet cruel XD that's how life is

  • hunting wolf packs of the sea

  • Nature is a cruel, vicious place.

  • so is civilization, but at least we have board-games.

    Care for a round of Jenga?
