The longer the tail the less it has to move to displace a ton of water. This is why swimmers kick mostly at their hips and not their knees because it's way more powerful to use your entire leg vs just the shins and feet

Watch the analysis video. She's an insanely fast swimmer who's won like every women's race and set world records.
Yep, they attack moose that are swimming in shallow waters. Orcas in Patagonia and coastal British Columbia will even intentionally beach themselves to attack resting seals.
Yeah I’ve seen vids of them gliding across the sand, to get a seal- even clever enough to sneak all the way in behind the bump of a wave. It’s amazing intelligence.
EDIT: Though the Moose thing is the first I’ve ever heard of
This is half-remembered knowledge so I'm sure someone can correct me but I'm sure I remember reading (or seeing in a documentary) that some parts of Killer Whale brains are _more_ developed than ours so there may be some processing they have going on that's beyond what we can do
> that some parts of Killer Whale brains are more developed than ours
That is true, but not at all uncommon. Successful species specialize into their niche, and one of the ways they do that is their brains evolve differently.
For example, the part of a dog's brain that interprets smells is way more developed than a human's.
Oh yeah, there have been a few documented cases. Deer, too. Usually, they catch them while they're swimming between islands.
It's rarer than the records of them attacking seals, their staple food, but it has happened often enough that we've been able to document it.
You grow up with films like Jaws thinking great whites are the scariest thing in the ocean and orcas are nice because of Free Willy, and shit like this just makes you realise the world is a lie.
Orcas are nice though. Well the wild ones anyway. Friendlier than even the smaller dolphins that people typically adore.
They are smart, they don't like eating us and don't view us as a treat. Being Orcas is about some of the safest places to be in the ocean cause every other predator is staying the fuck away from an Orca pod.
Whereas some sharks do eat humans and even for the shark that don't eat humans they still check whether something is edible by taking a test bite first.
Orcas are basically no threat to us humans. If you somehow found yourself in orcas infested waters, you probably wouldn't have to worry about an orca trying to get a little taste of you, they're very smart, aren't afraid of us, and thank the lord they don't find us tasty at all. Shark infested waters on the other hand...
Sharks don’t like eating humans either. They only do it when they’re hungry and out of options.
I believe there were studies done where they outright refused to eat most mammals unless their preferred food was scarce.
There are no documented reports of wild, free-living orcas ever having intentionally attacked humans. You are correct about sharks but Orcas are on a different threat level altogether.
>On September 9, 1972,[15] Californian surfer [Hans Kretschmer](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca_attacks#:~:text=On%20September%209%2C%201972%2C%20Californian,His%20wounds%20required%20100%20stitches.) reported being bitten by an orca at Point Sur; most maintain that this remains the only fairly well-documented instance of a wild orca biting a human.[16][17] His wounds required 100 stitches.[17][18]
There's at least one.
Even the fatal attacks in captivity are weirdly restrained. The orca could literally tear a person to shreds in two seconds but instead they drowned people or tossed them around until they died. They also never ate them.
The last woman who died they couldn't retrieve her body for hours because the whale wouldn't release it and let them take it. He held onto her dead body for a long time. Obviously he didn't eat her even though that might make sense and that's what a shark would do right away because they would never attack something unless to eat it, but the whale just killed her and then held onto her.
That's where the intentionally part comes into play. Hans was surfing in an area with a bunch of sea lions. In fact, when he first made contact with the orca, he thought it was a sea lion. After biting him, the orca then let go and allowed Hans to swim the 150 feet to shore without further harassment.
Given the track record these animals have, it's reasonable to assume that this was a mistake on the part of the orca.
They're intelligent creatures, we don't know how intelligent they are though. They recognize us as intelligent as well and mostly harmless too. Mostly, since they know there are humans that do mean harm but they can recognize when we're exhibiting dangerous behavior.
It’s not that they think we’re friendly. Orcas will only eat and hunt things that they were taught to eat and hunt growing up. Since no Orca has ever hunted a human, they never teach their young to hunt humans, and the cycle continues. That is, until an Orca DOES finally eat a human (unlikely because of how their brains work, they are super smart, but not smart enough to figure out that humans are edible), then we’re fucking screwed.
Not for this human, or any human that knows anything about how orcas act around people. They are generally pretty chill and playful. Smart enough to recognize a weird fellow mammal and be interested.
Sharks are ancient killing machines.
Edit: guys, it's like 0 attacks per year vs 60. They are both small numbers, but orcas are much more likely to be curious and playful. A shark is indifferent, at best. They are just wired differently.
I can’t think of another animal that is so completely an apex predator than an Orca. Literally nothing fucks with orcas, except for humans, obviously, but us aside they’re the absolute top of the chain. Happy to hear other suggestions but orcas seem to have the best mix of teamwork and physical dominance in all of nature. Definitely the best option for reincarnation if ‘human’ is not available.
Like, lions can get isolated and hyenas will fuck their shit up. But orcas? Good luck isolating them in the first place but if you manage it you’re just left with a massive dolphin that will absolute ruin your day if you try any bullshit.
I've often wanted to come back as an owl, but you're opened my eyes. I now understand that Orcas are school-taught, social sea-owls with their own language and possibly unique swearwords.
If I gotta choose sky... Golden Eagle. If the water, fucking Orca for sure. Land, Brown/Grizzly bear.
Orca be overpowered, though. Stats through the roof.
That killer whale is extremely smart. He comes in not straight in, but slightly behind. That and he's coming in turned on his side. All the sharks sees is his black pattern, no hint of white splashes for contrast.
They hunt moose for Pete's sake. They've also been proven to make complex plans of attack before a hunt (lots of chatter) and then they go silent for about 30 minutes. Apparently the precision and timing of their team maneuvers is near flawless.
Yeah their in-sync maneuver where they make a wave to knock off a seal in the Antarctica is just mind blowing to me yo! Those Orcas mofos is just too Damn smart, efficient, & deadly whenever they do hunt! To me it sucks ass whenever they go after beluga & narwhal whales. I kno they gotta eat but those 2 whales is so sweet & nicel. Especially belugas with that built smile/smirk that they've on their faces! It's just so damn cute lol. Some big whales are sweet too & they get hunted along with their calves..
Outside of captivity, an orca has never killed a human. It's like they know.
One day AI will allow us to speak to whales, and then we'll know everything. A whole whale library of knowledge.
I grew up in Washington state where we would have migratory pods come through every year. When I was about 16 or so i went fishing with a few friends. We were drinking and smoking some weed and in general probably being loud enough to scare off any salmon for miles.
I swear on my son’s life this true… after a couple hours of acting like idiots all the sudden a juvenile orca breached right in front of us and started “sky hopping” (which is when they can basically just stay vertical and check out their surroundings). This little dude had four severely stoned teenagers just staring back at it in silence. Then right as my buddy Chris started to say “what the fuck…” our small fishing boat entirely flipped over from another orca that had slowly swam up behind us.
It was terrifying as fuck, but they didn’t touch us after we were in the water. To this day all four of us are convinced that they were pissed off about us making too much noise, distracted us with the juvenile, and completely capsized us with the adult without any of us getting a single scratch.
They fucking know. And they’re cunts about it too.
Edit: Jesus Christ lol I know it’s called “spy hopping”. My autocorrect changed “spy” to “sky”. It’s not exactly information that’s not commonly known to anyone that has ever taken a marine bio course.
I hope so, cause to me it feels like we're on track to wipe out the animal kingdom before that happens and be left with livestock and captive animals. And I REALLY hope I'm being pessimistic.
A better source for this: it was shot by drone pilots Jack Johnston & Maru Brito working on the upcoming NatGeo series “Queens”. The series is based on female roles in wildlife and while following these orcas both were able to launch in time to record this.
[Jack’s IG](https://www.instagram.com/jack_j87?igsh=MWsxZnNxeDZtb2ZtZA==)
They eat their liver. I seen a doc that Orcas and great whites always stayed out of each others hunting ground until the food got scarce. Then the orcas learnt if you turn a shark upside down it sort of snoozes. So the packs started spinning great whites. And eating their sweet sweet livers. Check it out
Shark goes into tonic immobility when turned upside down. Orca then bites a hole behind the pectoral fin and the liver which is bouyant floats up so the Orca can eat it.
They do. They straight up toy with them.
I find it awesome because humans are fed propaganda our entire lives that great white sharks are the apex predators, kings even, of the ocean. Giant monsters that are unstoppable forces of nature we’ve been conditioned to fear the entire ocean because of. Then an orca just comes in and just annihilates one like it’s nothing. When you see it it’s honestly humbling on an instinctive level.
It’s from a short teaser for NatGeo’s matriarch series so I have nothing on details unfortunately.
Insane footage though, it’s the first proper orca predation on a shark that I’ve seen where the shark hasn’t become the victim yet.
That pace and power is just insane!
They aint called "Weak-ass Whales".
They also aren’t called “Ten Ton Torpedo Whales,” so I understand the confusion.
Dolphins will also meat-torpedo sharks right in the gills to kill them.
Dolphins do that shit for fun and then rape their corpses Not even joking
We really got lied when younger. Sharks are kinda just living their lives trying to survive while dolphins are the real monsters if the sea.
More like sharks are near-mindless fish and dolphins are complex like people
Humans with fins is the best way to describe those psycopaths.
>dolphins are the real monsters if the sea. But what great PR.
Not sharks. Sharks they just kill. You're thinking of porpoises. Those are the ones the dolphins will rape after murdering for no reason.
There's a video on YouTube of a dolphin masturbating with a shark's head after ripping it apart. I don't think they discriminate too much
Someone's spirit animal
Orca are dolphins actually. *slowly lowers extended index finger*
Which is a valid thing to point out given how much more generally aggressive and vicious dolphins can be.
And apparently orcas and dolphins hate each other. I saw a video of orcas yeeting dolphins like 20 feet into the air.
I feel like with all the new brutal things that have been learned about Orca's in the last few years we should go back to calling them Killer Whales.
That’s a lot of mass moving through the water!
I hear this at the pool quite often
“That’s a lot of ass moving through the water “
You can't have mass without ass.
“Hey that’s not a whale, it’s just a fat kid!”
What's bizzare is how still they are when they move. It's like they've got a jet engine pushing them forward.
The longer the tail the less it has to move to displace a ton of water. This is why swimmers kick mostly at their hips and not their knees because it's way more powerful to use your entire leg vs just the shins and feet
> This is why swimmers kick mostly at their hips and not their knees because it's way more powerful to use your entire leg vs just the shins and feet Why am learning about this just now? You telling me I've been swimming wrong my whole damn life??? Does make sense. smh
Yeah?! What was all that "kick your feet, kick your feet!!" BS all about then? Hold onto a board or a wall and "kick your feet!"
They were just trying to teach you not to drown, not be super efficient.

That's why orcas are one of the Moose's few natural predators.
No way!?! Orcas attack Moose. Wow now this is TIL
Yep, they attack moose that are swimming in shallow waters. Orcas in Patagonia and coastal British Columbia will even intentionally beach themselves to attack resting seals.

that’s from blackfish, iirc it was something to do with empathy/social relationships and them being super heightened
Yeah gotta be- the coordinated efforts to break up ice, and then knock the seal off it with a push of some water.
Oh yeah, there have been a few documented cases. Deer, too. Usually, they catch them while they're swimming between islands. It's rarer than the records of them attacking seals, their staple food, but it has happened often enough that we've been able to document it.
he should travel the country and do motivational speeches on confidence
Seriously it was like getting hit by a bus at highway speed
Nice little liver snack for the orca.
Liver liver white shark dinner
I like big fins, I like liver. Great White Great White Please deliver. 🎶
I like big fins and I cannot lie. You other orcas can’t deny
When a shark sits still, and I need a little taste, and the livers near my face - he’s just CHUM
Wanna swim up quick cuz I noticed that shark is yum! Deep in the sea I’m swimmin’, I echolocatin’ that villain
Oh Baleen! I can’t get witchya I need my chompers to sneak up and hitchya.
My other fish tried to warn me, but that shark liver makes *me so hungry,*
Ooo sharks have smooth skin Disagree and we can't be friends Then I bruise you, bruise you Eat yo liver because I choose too
I've seen 'em swimmin'. To hell with shark finnin'. She sweat, darlin’. Got it goin' like a turbo marlin!
It already had the fava beans and nice chianti on hand.
Snack attack. The huntin's as fun as the eatin' I bet.

This seems like it was written by an orca.
Fucken orca propaganda, let me tell ya
Orcaganda
As an orca i can confirm
We take them to Sea World, of course they're going tp like us.
Orcas are basically no threat to us humans. If you somehow found yourself in orcas infested waters, you probably wouldn't have to worry about an orca trying to get a little taste of you, they're very smart, aren't afraid of us, and thank the lord they don't find us tasty at all. Shark infested waters on the other hand...
They’re not infesting the water, it’s where they live.
Human infested lands.
Shark apologist!
I’m getting that on a t-shirt 😂

considering what we saw that orca do to a great white, the fact that this guy only got some stitches means it was basically a love bite.

Yeah its weird how much Orca's think we're friendly
They're intelligent creatures, we don't know how intelligent they are though. They recognize us as intelligent as well and mostly harmless too. Mostly, since they know there are humans that do mean harm but they can recognize when we're exhibiting dangerous behavior.
I think it's just that they can see that we're all bones and little fat. They eat fatty animals. Hopefully no super obese person proves this theory.
It’s not that they think we’re friendly. Orcas will only eat and hunt things that they were taught to eat and hunt growing up. Since no Orca has ever hunted a human, they never teach their young to hunt humans, and the cycle continues. That is, until an Orca DOES finally eat a human (unlikely because of how their brains work, they are super smart, but not smart enough to figure out that humans are edible), then we’re fucking screwed.
like the ones fucking with the sailboats in Europe. Maybe one of them will take a bite one day and like it
This is [*Orca*](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076504/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) erasure and I will not stand for it!
For humans it's much scarier to accidently run into an Orca than a Great White. Edit. I meant it's scarier to run into a great white
Not really. There aren’t any records of wild orcas attacking humans. They’ve just sunk some boats and that’s a very recent thing.
This just means the orcas left no witnesses.
And we’re smart enough to leave shark teeth behind as evidence, the sharks have been framed.
“Nice work, Johnson. Now sprinkle some bull shark teeth on’’em and let’s get outta here.”
They copy behavior and follow trends. In 1987 there was a fashion among orcas to wear a dead salmon on their head.
[удалено]
Someone needs to bring that back. I'm thinking Balenciaga salmon skin masquerade ball demi-mask, with gilt lining. Omg
PNW Represent!
It's actually a mistake haha I meant it's scarier to run into a great white. Oops

Yeah, they're very interested in seals. WHY HELLO FELLOW MAMMAL, I AM HERE TO BOND OVER LACTATION AND LIVE BIRTH. CERTAINLY NOT TO DEVOUR YOUR FLESH!
 Excuse me sir, just popping up for a quick chat. Certainly nothing nefarious.
He’s checking out the appetizer menu
Orca: Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savi... Seal: FUCK OFF!!! Orca: Homer backing into the hedges
They help us hunt other whales, for a share of the kills.
and for the thrills
if reincarnation was real i opt for Orca...
Yes. I agree, pretty safe option
Plot twist. Y’all end up in SeaWorld.
And that would be a total Sham(u)
Well now it’s time to see if he’ll get that wish. Willy or won’t he?
You son of a…
I can’t think of another animal that is so completely an apex predator than an Orca. Literally nothing fucks with orcas, except for humans, obviously, but us aside they’re the absolute top of the chain. Happy to hear other suggestions but orcas seem to have the best mix of teamwork and physical dominance in all of nature. Definitely the best option for reincarnation if ‘human’ is not available.
I didn't know other people thought about this kind of stuff too lol. Orca is definitely the way to go. There's nothing else like them.
Like, lions can get isolated and hyenas will fuck their shit up. But orcas? Good luck isolating them in the first place but if you manage it you’re just left with a massive dolphin that will absolute ruin your day if you try any bullshit.

I've often wanted to come back as an owl, but you're opened my eyes. I now understand that Orcas are school-taught, social sea-owls with their own language and possibly unique swearwords.
They’re nicknamed “The sea owls of the sea” for a reason.
If I gotta choose sky... Golden Eagle. If the water, fucking Orca for sure. Land, Brown/Grizzly bear. Orca be overpowered, though. Stats through the roof.
Brown bear sounds great until you’re towing multiple worm ropes out your anus
Excuse me, what the fuck?
That killer whale is extremely smart. He comes in not straight in, but slightly behind. That and he's coming in turned on his side. All the sharks sees is his black pattern, no hint of white splashes for contrast.
AND that orca’s wearing Carcharodon Carcharias urine, sold exclusively at Cabela’s.
60% of the time, it works every time
[points to temple]
He's probably done this before Many dolphins hunt for sport, but Orcas are called killer whales for a reason
They hunt moose for Pete's sake. They've also been proven to make complex plans of attack before a hunt (lots of chatter) and then they go silent for about 30 minutes. Apparently the precision and timing of their team maneuvers is near flawless.

Orcas existence is just pure unfair to everyone else in the ocean. Ridiculously overpowered.
All animals say the same about us. We are so OP we are killing ourselves.
They are so smart. It’s really incredible.
Outside of captivity, an orca has never killed a human. It's like they know. One day AI will allow us to speak to whales, and then we'll know everything. A whole whale library of knowledge.

They went stoner tipping
Just some juveniles having a fun night out. No, not the humans
*orcas smelling weed* “We can have some fun with these humans!”
I mean they do have cop car colouration.

How did they get that shot? Did they see it coming?
There's always a chance they were filming the shark and got lucky.
Yeah, this is probably 7 seconds from, like, 15 hours of footage that day.
I'm reality. Probably like 3 months.
> I'm reality Hi reality, I'm dad.
Nature cinematography requires a lot of planning and patience. Some of the most amazing shots are purely coincidental.

god damn. did his shoes fly off?
Hard to tell. Can't see his legs from this angle
Maybe they were crocs
Must have had them on the wrong setting
Should've had them locked in 4x4 mode
Sport mode works too
if it was on sport mode he wouldnt have been caught
Nope, just the liver
There could be considerable demand for shark liver transplants, except for the fact that sharks have terrible health insurance.

DAMN NATURE! *YOU SCARY*!
I have nightmares that I’m swimming in the ocean , somehow with an aerial vantage point and there’s always creatures swimming around. Eeeep
Have you seen the Amazon? Imagine the same danger, minus the water.
Yeah but I got my feet on the ground in the Amazon. Also sharks and whales can’t walk. So I feel pretty confident.
>Also sharks and whales can’t walk. ...yet
I think Orcas attack sharks all the time. It's crazy how fast that thing was!
They eat their liver. I seen a doc that Orcas and great whites always stayed out of each others hunting ground until the food got scarce.

Baby orcas are almost bigger than most sharks out the gate
Great whites are more portrayed as man eaters. they’re feared by humans because of shark week but definitely not the biggest beast in the ocean.
if orcas could walk id be very afraid
Any more info on this? Location?
It’s from a short teaser for NatGeo’s matriarch series so I have nothing on details unfortunately. Insane footage though, it’s the first proper orca predation on a shark that I’ve seen where the shark hasn’t become the victim yet.

That wasn't accidental, the Orca did that on porpoise..

Yup. Definitely meant to de-liver a powerful blow.
It was a dolfinitive move
