Oh my god! Ike is sooo cute! I LOVE how he was responding to some of the hand signals you were giving him, like when you waved at him and he waved his pecs! Hopefully I'll be able to seem him eventually! :D
When i went to florida for a week for our vacation we were going to seaworld and the orca beign my fav anial i knew so simple things would entertain them and i was going to bring a mirror but i forgot it and i was very upset but it was nice seeing my favorite animal :D <3
This is sooo amazing! I wish I could have the oppertunity to do this! Can I respectfully point out that this orca is a female though, at least thats what i believe based off the dorsal fin.
It's amazing to me that a whale would interact with people like this. I mean...they're incredibly intelligent, true, but he was playing with you more than the other people in there. How often do you see these whales and interact with them?
@RestillHabb He enjoys playing with people, he really likes making faces at children. :D They are very intelligent animals! I feel so lucky that he finds me interesting enough to hand around. ;)
Well last year I saw them 6 times between May and October, I wish I lived closer so I could be there more often.
I guess a little like Tilly too. I just aways look at his eyepatches and the way his lip markings are and I'm reminded of Katina. Cool video by the way. I'm a bit jealous!
Oh for sure, you can definitely see both of them in him. It's amazing how individual animals are right down to their markings. I remember when I thought they looked all the same!
lucky you! he seems like a fun orca to interact with. the coolest is when there's no one in underwater viewing(especially small children) and you tell all your friends to go somewhere else. so its just you and the orca XD
He most certainly is! He's never played with me that long before.
Near the beginning of the video there were only a few people, but as it went on more and more people came down and he went away from the viewing window.
THis is truly facinating; it shows us how self aware and intelligent orcas are. ALthough I'm strongly against captivity this makes me smile knowing that we can brighten thier lives for at least hours at a time.
I was there the next day, and he was so preoccupied with Kiska. But he did come up to us and he nodded his head and looked right at us. Then we found out that he wanted to mate with Kiska. :P
They put them back together the next day? It took them forever to separate Ike from Kiska in the first place. xD He does, but Kiska is too old for that.
It's so awesome how he copies you, and how at 1:35, you pointed, which usually is a signal to show your tongue, and he did it! And he knows you have no fish..point proven, they like to perform, and such.. and act like total hams. Love the video though..you just have to upload more, and of Kiska! :D and 3:26! lol What was that for ?
He loves to be a ham, that's for sure! A lot of the time I was talking to him & he was talking back, he has a beautiful voice. It's rewarding knowing he chooses to play even though he knows I have no food, he genuinely wants to be there. :)
I do have more videos, I edited a bunch today. :3 Not much of Kis though, since I rarely got to see her.
I knew someone was going to point that out.... xD He just got excited from seeing himself in the mirror. He's a teenager full of testosterone you know!
he is at seaworld san diego now he is sooo cute

@Sakima636 It was wonderful, I really hope you get to!
No no, this boy is DEFINITELY a boy if you catch my drift. Haha. xD He does have a 'girly' dorsal fin, but he's only almost 8 years old.
