My second week here in Jamaica I had a good close encounter with a killer whale. Not a scary one, course I had the alan grant reaction when I first saw it by my row boat. They look wonderful up close.
I'm not an expert, I just read alot about whales and sharks since I live in Jamaica we do get the occasional whales during their migration and thankfully no sharks.
Killer Whales are docile and won't attack you if you don't harm them and definitely don't harm their young. Only human deaths by killer whales are by ones in captivity but ones in the wild were accidental and let the person's live when the whales realize they weren't what they normally eat. Killers Whales have different senses unlike Sharks. Killer Whales see like us while Sharks don't. Sharks hunt by sound and possibly by body heat.
@beautifulstar33 Why would anybody want to cage dive with Orcas? Either get in the water or don't. How many humans have been killed by Orcas.... IN HISTORY? How many whales, including Orcas have been killed by humans? There's lots of videos out there of people swimming with them out in the ocean.
@beautufulstar33 I don't know if they abuse them physicaly, but wouldn't you call being taken from your family, pent up in a tiny enclosure and being forced to perform stupid tricks for a bunch of weak midgets day after day for the rest of your life a form of psychological abuse? Until recently no one knew about elephants being physicaly abused in zoos and circuses.
@majalca03 absolutely. both are terrible. I agree. I dont like seaworld. Are there places where they let u cage dive with orcas? cud this orca have easily bitten his arm off if he wanted to?
@beautifulstar33 Anther way of seeing your question would be to look at the reasons for elephant attacks on their trainers too. Another large intelligent sentient being taken from their families and forced to perform stupid tricks, imprisoned and many times abused by their handlers. Eventually, something's got to give. I recomend that you look for a recording or a baby orca here on you tube titled " baby orca crying separated from family - recording " or google ( and you tube) Killers in Eden .
@majalca03 yes, it's so sad. I agree. But do sea world trainers really abuse orcas? I think interacting with wild orcas is better b.=/ you're up close and personal. When was the last time sea world let u do this? I'd rather have this than sea world.
It was just as I expected, a magnificient experience to be in the presence of such magestic creatures. Orcas, are intelligent sentient beings that are not meant to be kept pent up in a circus like environment. They are meant to roam free in the oceans of the world. I imagine that you or I might go crazy after being taken from our families and imprisoned for all our lives forced to perfom stupid tricks for people day after day. We might even want to take it out on one of our handlers one day.
@tasman763: per Wilipedia as well as numerous scientific articles...."The killer whale (Orcinus orca), commonly referred to as the orca, and less commonly as the blackfish, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family. "
That corrected...it's easy to see the similarities between orcas and dolphins especially when they're playful. Both are amazing creatures!
My question is....what the hell is this man giving the orca...rubber?!? and orca appears to eat. No junk food-damnit!
they're very beautiful, but they're no pets, and they aren't there to play. he could have easily opened his mouth, and grabbed him within seconds. Don't play around with these animals, just watch them from afar. That is why i don't agree with places like sea world either.
That would be an amazing experience though.. lmfao
@jordonSEE On the contrary, they do play. In this instance, absolutely no survival benefit to the whale whatsoever grabbing the stick, teasing the guy with it, and then bringing it back. There's no other explanation. Killer whales are just oversized dolphins, and think of some of the actions wild dolphins exhibit. Blowing ring bubbles and swimming through them. I've surfed with dolphins that ride waves in, swim back out past the lineup, then ride another one in.
@jordonSEE Only 1 recorded case of an orca actually biting someone in the wild. Surfer was bitten in Central CA in '72. Only 100 stitches, so it must have let go quickly. That's sea lion country, murky water, thick kelp. Orca mistook the surfer for prey. Captivity is another story. Take a huge, extremely intelligent, social animal + throw it into a fish bowl with only 1 or 2 others + train it to do dog tricks for food = major, unknown mental impact.
@beautifulstar33 Probably take a faint interest in him and swim a few passes by thinking "you don't see this every day", then move on. There are quite a few videos on youtube of people diving in the ocean with orcas. They're much like dolphins I've swam underwater to try getting a better look while surfing. Very casual, they like keeping a little distance.
@beautifulstar33 Nothing dangerous I guess. If he/she would have wanted to he could have taken the guy's head off. Orcas are very curious of humans, about as much as we are of them. They are very intelligent creatures and probably have a very good understanding of humans.
@beautifulstar33 Because they are highly intelligent social animals the same as we are, and that is no baby. I don't know why you're so afraid of them, you should be more scared of humans, since no animal is more dangerous.
@majalca03 Come on, look at the size of orcas, wouldn't you fear them if you are at the beach and one comes close to you? I thought Luna was a baby. I mean, they say he was lost from his pod, so i think he was, no?
@beautifulstar33 I'd be facinated by possibility of such an event. I'm a certified diver and I have been up close to whalesharks which are much bigger. No big deal. There are plenty of videos on You Tube of humans in the water with Orcas, and the nothing bad happened. If you are so scared of them coming close to you then I suggest you do not enter or even go near their world. The possibility of being attacked by them is low, and the possibility goes down to near zero if you are on land.
@muttonbuster There was actually another case that I know of in my home state of Alaska. It was similar, the boy was surfing in a wet suit, and once the orca realized he wasn't a seal he let go right away. And from what I heard, the orca tried to push him back to shore. I grew up around orcas on Kodiak Island, and they are very friendly, wonderful creatures.
@MegaArmandio Interesting, but killer whales don't eat humans. And believe me, if he wanted to, he could have knocked that guy right out of the boat and killed him, easily. He simply had no wish to. Despite their name, killer whales are not usually dangerous to humans.
@Al123456ize kill what? fish and seals perhaps.... Only a few people have ever been killed by an orca and most of those were captive animals. Your more likely to get killed by a dog.
@mikaila31 really i didnt know that, well i just thought because there killer so even though there killer wales they are nice.? then why do they call them killer.? im so comfused.
@Al123456ize I'm not sure exactly where that name comes from. It may be because people once viewed them as bloodthirsty animals, similar to how wolves were viewed.. I think its more related to the fact that they are known to prey upon other whales. The killer whale is actually classified as the largest dolphin. Pods are known to kill and eat whales much larger then themselves. They will also hunt smaller species of dolphin. I think thats where the name 'killer whale' comes from.
@mikaila31 they were origianlly called Whale Killers by the old time whalers , and for the very reason you say . But it got messed up , and some people now call the Killer Whales. I call them Orca .
I have also read that they are the largest member of the porpoise family, not dolphin, but this is getting awfully techincal really . To me, they are just beautiful . Yes, predators ( like us ) , but even some humans are very nice ! ( some are not )
"com'on....get in the water is just righ...and have I got a game for us to play!!!!.....and then one of us will have a full belly....oooops did I say that out loud.."
"com'on....get in the water is just righ...and have I got a game for us to play!!!!.....and then one of us will have a full belly....oooops did I say that out loud.."
so sad.. i'm glad.... orcas would still.......spend such time with us.....!
I watched on a youtube vid "Wild Kingdom- Crozet Islands", that A LOT OF PIRATE LONGLINERS use dynamites to force the orcas to keep their distance from their fishes..
Scientists has produced alarming figures, 50% of the orcas in the region have disappeared in the last decade! SECRET SLAUGHTER!
It's too cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate these longliners who make orcas distrust us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This magnificent animal gives us its trust too freely. We have almost destroyed their natural habitats.... we are not worthy of this unconditional trust.
this whale pissed off a whole community by getting too attached to people, it would follow boats around and nudge small craft, a law was passed to stop people from trying to interract with the whale in the hope it would go away, however, it never
went, it hung around for a couple of years,it even had a ranger assigned to it.
@plonker00765 am I ask why is there a law passed to stop people from interacting with it? Why should the community be pissed off that it's attached to people?!?!?!?!?!?!
@heartofchubbs people got pissed off because it became dangerous, it was pushing small boats around, and endangering the occupants, a law was passed making it illegal to to interract with the whale in the hope it would leave the area. ( as i wrote in my other post ) if a whale pushed you around in a boat you'd probably be scared shitless and get pissed off too.
@shakespearewhiskers5 Just like a dolphin. Have you ever touched a dolphin? They're thick and rubbery. Orcas are large dolphins- I assume an orca feels very similar to a bottlenose dolphin.
The orca was talking to him. If only we could understand what they're telling us. If only they could understand us. Dolphins were found to understand human sign language. How amazing it would be if we could understand what they say...I would guess this puts to rest whether humans or cetaceans are smarter. They comprehend our words; we have yet to do the same for theirs.
@Jdocent lol...somehow, I don't think so. I was thinking more along the lines of "this is fun." If the orca was shying away or obviously didn't want to be bothered, I don't think this guy would be playing with him. I think this is an orca that approached people often and liked human interaction. It does happen, you know. Orcas in the wild rarely attack humans, and are actually sometimes curious about us.
@Jdocent Right, the danger is for the orca, not for people. There are bad people who hurt animals, which sucks. This interaction is really touching, though.
@cadmiumblue True, it is, and the person's absolutely lucky...still, I feel it shouldn't be encouraged cause another interaction with a human may not be quite that touching
Awwwee this is so cute!!! The orca kinda reminds me of a dog it wants the person to play tug of war with it but won't let them grab the play thing but it wants them to try anyway!!! ~ ♥
I believe the KWs understand our kinship - we are also mammals. We have complex communication, so do they. Might they respect humans? good possibility! It warms the heart to think so.
@mlcollins10 Why would they respect us? Our species pollutes the earth and fucks up everything. We should feel lucky any of them want to give us the time of day.
@cadmiumblue Would u rather have the orca befriend you and play around and all that or would u rather fear it and have it try to rip u apart? if u choose to befriend it then that's a wise choice because i'd rather be friends with an orca then be its enemy.
Notsuredomus i don't know how u manage to be a friend to this mammal but i wish to try to do the same thing with another.
Oh No OOHHH no. "LISTEN! " I truly love whales more than anyone. it's an abomination not to be doing way more to protect them, and the oceans than we do. You can never forget that's a wild whale. They will disembowel a grey whale calf; eat the tongue, and spit out the rest of the carcass like eating a twinkie. LOVE THEM YES ! but don't forget who's in charge. It is irresistable to want to touch and communicate but do it safely from the boat. I'm in love too.
@impishgirl69 I'm an orca fanatic and when i heard the story about Luna my only wish was to go to Nootka Sound and see this beatuful creature live! Such a shame the way he died :(
@kyokanagan elephants are exactly the same. I have a massive amount of love and respect for elephants & whales. Such amazing creatures. & we humans appreciate that by putting them in circuses & shows. I NEVER have remorse when trainers are hurt or killed by these animals, they should know better!
Kinda like a puppy! xD My puppy makes noises when you try to take something from him, kinda like this orca >.< Though my pup is growling, not making a high-pitched sound like this guy - or girl.
wow, wow and wow... amazing. How can you become friend with a wild animal like that.. by feeding him sometimes maybe ? (maybe not a good idea and dangerous for the animal)
You guys remember "Cast Away", where Tom Hanks drew a face on a volleyball and talked to it, to keep from going mad from isolation? That's what this was. Luna interacted with inanimate objects and creatures that he couldn't truly communicate with to alleviate his loneliness. Did it make him feel better? Yes. Was it healthy for him? Absolutely not.
And what do you know, he ultimately died trying to cuddle a boat.
Our feature documentary about Luna, called THE WHALE, is narrated by Ryan Reynolds and opens in Seattle and Tacoma on September 9, followed by NYC on Sept 23 and LA on Sept 30. Come on out and see the film! For more info go to: thewhalemovie-dot-com
I have such respect for orcas. You have to admit these ocean wonders are capable of so many things, they have languages, individual personalities with almost if not equal to humans, the tightest family bonds in the animal kingdom which i believe is right next to humans too seeing as all the young never leave their mother's side including the males and actually teach their young like our parents do, They are very quick thinkers and learners... not much is missing to be so close to humans.
This is way to kool i would love to meet and play with a wild orca

so sad.. i'm glad.... orcas would still.......spend such time with us.....!
I watched on a youtube vid "Wild Kingdom- Crozet Islands", that A LOT OF PIRATE LONGLINERS use dynamites to force the orcas to keep their distance from their fishes..
Scientists has produced alarming figures, 50% of the orcas in the region have disappeared in the last decade! SECRET SLAUGHTER!
It's too cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate these longliners who make orcas distrust us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This magnificent animal gives us its trust too freely. We have almost destroyed their natural habitats.... we are not worthy of this unconditional trust.

this whale pissed off a whole community by getting too attached to people, it would follow boats around and nudge small craft, a law was passed to stop people from trying to interract with the whale in the hope it would go away, however, it never
went, it hung around for a couple of years,it even had a ranger assigned to it.

@plonker00765 Maybe it lost its family. Orca are social creatures so it wanted to find the nearest thing......that happens to be us.
valcan321 4 months ago
@plonker00765 am I ask why is there a law passed to stop people from interacting with it? Why should the community be pissed off that it's attached to people?!?!?!?!?!?!
heartofchubbs 3 months ago
@heartofchubbs people got pissed off because it became dangerous, it was pushing small boats around, and endangering the occupants, a law was passed making it illegal to to interract with the whale in the hope it would leave the area. ( as i wrote in my other post ) if a whale pushed you around in a boat you'd probably be scared shitless and get pissed off too.

@shakespearewhiskers5 Just like a dolphin. Have you ever touched a dolphin? They're thick and rubbery. Orcas are large dolphins- I assume an orca feels very similar to a bottlenose dolphin.

The orca was talking to him. If only we could understand what they're telling us. If only they could understand us. Dolphins were found to understand human sign language. How amazing it would be if we could understand what they say...I would guess this puts to rest whether humans or cetaceans are smarter. They comprehend our words; we have yet to do the same for theirs.

Jdocent 4 months ago
@Jdocent lol...somehow, I don't think so. I was thinking more along the lines of "this is fun." If the orca was shying away or obviously didn't want to be bothered, I don't think this guy would be playing with him. I think this is an orca that approached people often and liked human interaction. It does happen, you know. Orcas in the wild rarely attack humans, and are actually sometimes curious about us.
cadmiumblue 4 months ago
@cadmiumblue Duhhh - but that doesn't mean it's a good thing or people should encourage it. Not all people are good to approach.
Jdocent 4 months ago
@Jdocent Right, the danger is for the orca, not for people. There are bad people who hurt animals, which sucks. This interaction is really touching, though.
cadmiumblue 4 months ago
@cadmiumblue True, it is, and the person's absolutely lucky...still, I feel it shouldn't be encouraged cause another interaction with a human may not be quite that touching
Jdocent 4 months ago
@Jdocent You're right. I wish it wasn't like this. I would never ever hurt an orca and I wish all humans were the same.

Hey guys, animal freak coming through. Just dropping by to say:
Orcas are more closely related to dolphins than whales.
Forgive me, please. I had to get that off my chest. I had too, or I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

I believe the KWs understand our kinship - we are also mammals. We have complex communication, so do they. Might they respect humans? good possibility! It warms the heart to think so.

@cadmiumblue Would u rather have the orca befriend you and play around and all that or would u rather fear it and have it try to rip u apart? if u choose to befriend it then that's a wise choice because i'd rather be friends with an orca then be its enemy.
Notsuredomus i don't know how u manage to be a friend to this mammal but i wish to try to do the same thing with another.

Oh No OOHHH no. "LISTEN! " I truly love whales more than anyone. it's an abomination not to be doing way more to protect them, and the oceans than we do. You can never forget that's a wild whale. They will disembowel a grey whale calf; eat the tongue, and spit out the rest of the carcass like eating a twinkie. LOVE THEM YES ! but don't forget who's in charge. It is irresistable to want to touch and communicate but do it safely from the boat. I'm in love too.

@kyokanagan elephants are exactly the same. I have a massive amount of love and respect for elephants & whales. Such amazing creatures. & we humans appreciate that by putting them in circuses & shows. I NEVER have remorse when trainers are hurt or killed by these animals, they should know better!

You guys remember "Cast Away", where Tom Hanks drew a face on a volleyball and talked to it, to keep from going mad from isolation? That's what this was. Luna interacted with inanimate objects and creatures that he couldn't truly communicate with to alleviate his loneliness. Did it make him feel better? Yes. Was it healthy for him? Absolutely not.
And what do you know, he ultimately died trying to cuddle a boat.

I have such respect for orcas. You have to admit these ocean wonders are capable of so many things, they have languages, individual personalities with almost if not equal to humans, the tightest family bonds in the animal kingdom which i believe is right next to humans too seeing as all the young never leave their mother's side including the males and actually teach their young like our parents do, They are very quick thinkers and learners... not much is missing to be so close to humans.
