Killer whales spy hopping

The killer whales would some times "spy-hop" which is where they look for food on the ice. Here is an awesome spy hopping video. I think the commentary gives a pretty good idea of what it was like to see this in real life.

The video is only 7 seconds cause right after this the guy on the ice gets pulled under by the 'cute' little Orcas (LMAO)

@4863440 - Right. This is why camera companies made zoom lenses.

@xchiefXkillerx AND @ 4863440 - I know, right?! Who hangs off the edge like that, espec. not knowing what's just beneath the surface? They're lucky the whales aren't the type to attack 1st & ask questions later, like "Oops! One o' those stupid humans again. Damn! That's like the 4th time that happened! I keep thinking it's a seal! Oh well, if those stupid humans wud get a clue! Ain't my fault.Hey,ur in MY territory,dummy!"

either the video cut out because they packed their gear and ran for it, or they all died a second after.

When you see orcas do that, you back the fuck away from the edge.
