Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest coexisted with orcas for thousands of years. The tribes there subsisted primarily on salmon and other fish same as the orcas. Its only been in the last 150 years that Euro Americans destroyed the ecosystem through hydroelectric dams and habitat loss on top of commercial overharvesting. Thats why the southern resident orca whales are starving because there are so few chinook salmon for them to feed on. We need to give control of the enviroment back to Native Americans honestly.

I believe they are attacking these boats because they have been harmed by them through collisions. These are extremely intelligent marine mammals who form very close family ties. Just like elephants.

Otherwise, the regular fishermen don't feel that their fishing is the problem, as they have coexisted peacefully for a very long time. I would have to say that the harpooning is likely the biggest issue angering the orcas. They wouldn't take to kindly to that.

​@@serenitysmith352 Whales have been harpooned for centuries. Most nations have outlawed it. As well, Orcas have not been traditionally among those who were harpooned. Years ago, I saw footage of a whale, I believe Sperm whale who rammed himself into a ship following the harpooning of another whale. It was not only an attack on the part of the whale, but it was an act of suicide ultimately. The theory was proposed by persons researching the possible causes for this newly observed Orca behavior. Yes, we are essentially talking about related agitation on the part of larger fishing boats. They are in the waters fishing illegally, and they have been known to illegally harpoon the Orcas as well. Also, some of the Orcas have been injured by the boats themselves, inadvertently because of heavy boat traffic. It is likely that all of these factors have played some role in driving the Orcas to such aggressive behaviors. Of concern, is the possibility that this behavior will become part of Orca culture in the area and that it will be passed from one generation to another, with no relation to the initial cause.

No big deal just an orcward situation

In the early 1980's I was traveling with a friend on a 27 foot Bayliner power boat off the coast of Vancouver Island Canada ... we were approached by a large pod of Orca's also known as Killer Whales .... we counted 22 .. I was up on the Command Bridge so had a terrific view and it was a Sunny Day in July .... about 4 whales were coming right up to boat and "Breaching" jumping out of the water giving us look at eye level then falling back into the ocean ....felt like I could reach out and touch them ... this went on for about 10 minutes ....although most stayed 20 to 50 feet away .... I had already slowed down to about 5 knots while the entire pod stayed with us for about 40 minutes ... they never damaged the boat and it never occurred to me that they might .... these particular whales were what we call "Transient Pods" and not "Resident Pods" which tend to travel in smaller numbers and survive in a much smaller feeding ground ..... those whales you encountered were most likely "Transient" that feed off Seals and other Whales in the Antarctic then migrate north .... these pods are the ones that gave them the name "Killer" Whales .... they are more aggressive by nature ... I have had so many whale encounters over the years I still can't understand why people get so excited and post videos ... for a number of years I had a Sailboat that was docked in a Marina next to a place called Sealand ... our slip was 50 feet away from a floating "Shipping Container" where a "Killer Whale" named Tillicum was kept when it wasn't performing .... that whale drowned a young woman that was working at Sealand in the early 1990's then the whale was sold to a different larger Ocean Park in Florida where it drowned another trainer later .... I always assumed that floating metal shipping container was for storage .... was shocked when I was told it was for an Orca .... I was always sad when I had to go near it .... I completely understand why Tillicum drowned those people ...

Doesn't make sense. If Orcas lately started preying on sailors there would be endless examples of wrecked vessels and dead sailors. They are very strong and intelligent enough to sink your vessel if they actually wanted to eat you... Fact is they are deliberately sinking sailing boats, but leaving the crew in the rescue dingy undisturbed. Keep your immature Hollywood fantasies under control..

PROJECTILES. Bean bags, crustacean shell packets, etc. Mammals are very disoriented when they feel the 'sting' of a projectile impacting them and they detect no predator close enough to inflict the sting. This works with bears, big cats, large breed dogs (I have personal experience with those), etc. The temporary sting does no lasting damage, so it is a humane method to trigger their 'flight' instinct ('fight or flight') The projectiles rob the animal's ability to identify and assess the 'attacker' - they see no attacker. In their world, the animal world, there ARE no projectiles - if a stinging pain is inflicted, in their world, another animal had to get close enough to inflict it, which would allow them to size up the other animal and decide whether to fight or not. "Projectiles coming out of nowhere" - in the animal world, they know the pain is there, they don't know why they feel the pain ("there is no attacker near me"), so they associate the pain with the location they are in and LEAVE THE LOCATION. Co-existence can sometimes require brief, human-cleverness-inspired fending off. There is a business to develop and sell 'encounter-ending' projectile launchers. . .

We thought we'd hit something underwater then up popped the first dolphin. They seemed to take turns knocking the rudder upwards - I wondered if they were scratching their backs. Pretty harmless (and we did OK in the race btw) - but the power and force these dolphins exerted on the boat was astonishing. A pod of Orca's off shore must have been bloody terrifying. At certain speeds you can get a vibration off the rudder if the shape is a little off (noticed it on one of my own sailing dinghies before my late dad re-profiled the blade) I wonder if something like that was attracting/bothering them.

In Charlotte Harbor (Florida) I've had them do the same thing to the dagger board on my sail board. They'd actually lift it slightly in the water and cause it to go about twice as fast as I was sailing. The first couple of times it was a bit unnerving because I was worried about getting knocked off balance and falling in to be shark food. But, when it turned out they were dolphin, it was OK with me. They were just playing.

This pod is endangered and measures to protect them needs to be enforced. They are trying to protect their home and their safety. Noise pollution from the boats make it harder to find food. And overfishing is causing this pod great amounts of stress. There have been articles by biologists on this exact pod regarding this situation. I hope the people in this location take greater care and measures to help this pod of dwindling giants. Grateful this boat was aware and understanding of the reality of the situation.

Clearly not well versed in rudder mechanisms. The rudder is coupled to the hull through a rudder post. In the occassion of strong lateral force on the rudder, the hull will likely crack from the force on the rudder post long before the rudder snaps off. Not to mention damage to the shaft seal, loosened rudder post, or even complete loss of rudder post. All of these cause water intrusion. Thus risk of sinking. Rudder and keel collisions are very susceptible to cause water intrusion and compromise the hull. The captain did the right thing to explore his worst case scenarios and to prepare himself and his crew. Water intrusion from rudder damage is more common than you'd think. Boats sinking from sea mammal collisions although uncommon, do happen.

@@spensinthevalley3099 Yes in a perfect world this is true. But it is not always practical. The rudder post is a stainless steel shaft, which usually wins over a standard fiberglass hull. Even if the hull could withstand it, if the whole rudder snaps off, depending on design it can take the whole post with it. Now you have a hole in your boat where your rudder post used to be. Even those huge bering sea crabbing boats shit their pants if they so much as have a loose rudder post, which can be caused purely from sea state, no collision needed. There is no way of knowing exactly how much force your rudder post and hull can take until you hit something, and it depends a lot on angle, point of contact and velocity. I've seen rudders shatter crashing into a reef in a storm and the hull is fine. And I've seen another boat tap the edge of their rudder into a rock and compromise their hull.

But they did attack this boat, and they are whales that kill. So while he might not like the terms, they were accurate in this case. I have never seen or heard of Orca's going after a boat like this before and have to wonder what was the intention? Were they hoping to get the sailors into the dingy and then into the water for food? or as the narrator suggests attacking the boat because they see it as competition for limited food? from what I have seen of Orca's I would say the former. Actual fishing boats are far to large and made of steel so nothing they can do about those, and these guys weren't fishing so... While they don't normally attack humans, I suppose if they get hungry and desperate enough... This was not click bait from what I can see.

These are not killer whales, these are orcas. And their behaviour is unusual.

Perhaps the Orcas were just angry a fishboat was stealing their food. Survival of the FISHEST

The reason for this was to become less interesting or boring to bother with. With the motor on and moving, they became a noisy toy they can keep chasing, So they sit quietly the whales get bored and leave. And that is what happened. There is no way to out run them in that boat, you just keep their attention and they love the chase. Killer whales have been known to play with their food before eating. Plus boaters are always told to shut motors off if there are whales around, to prevent hurting them. If one of them had been struck and injured you then have a panicked whale and blood in the water and their instinct to attack is off the charts.

I’m not disagreeing w you that they are extremely clever animals but I would say w confidence that it’s pretty far fetched to say that they deduced w any sort of reasoning that the rudder was the weak link and that’s why they went for it… The bottom of the boat is made up of a curved fiberglass that would be impossible to bite, it would be like if you tried to take a bite out of a bowling ball lol no human mouth is big enough to be able to get a grip on a big hard round object like that, just as the smooth hard bottom of the boat would be impossible for even the largest of Orcas to take a bite out of. Now the protruding rudder on the other hand is not only of perfect shape to fit into an Orcas mouth but it also moves side to side as if to say “hey I’m bite size and right here catch me if ya can” lol They say Orcas are the puppy’s of the sea and if this analogy rings true at all, than the not only hungry but naturally inquisitive and playful Orcas that they are just happened upon a big moving chew toy that also just happens to be of similar size to a baby whale that the Orca adults could use to their advantage as a little practice and training for the younger pod members to not only hone in on their hunting skills but also it gives all of them some family bonding time to work out the continually changing and adapting pecking order of the family dynamics, not to mention it’s probably a good bit of fun for an otherwise boring section of the fish less sea they just happened to find themselves in that day🤗🤙
