Dramatic raw footage of NOAA researchers tagging orcas with cross bows (killer whales) in Antarctica
Ғылым және технология
I took these incredible shots while accompanying whale researchers who are doing excellent work in helping whales by tagging, cataloging, and studying the killer whales in Antarctica. (Viewing in HD recommended) Arrows are used to attach GPS based location tags to the dorsal fins and as you can see the whales do not react to it. I imagine it's similar to a human getting their ears pieced. Tags stay in place for about a month before falling off and help track the whales migration patterns. Biopsy arrows on the other hand collect a tiny sample of blubber on the hollow tip of the arrow to help scientists determine their nutrition, health and diet. Every arrow used is accounted for under strict permits and regulations.
This research has shown the population of the Ross Sea whales are declining. They normally feed off the Antarctic Toothfish which is a large fish which has been over-harvested by commercial fishing. However, during this filming, these whales were seen feeding off a very small fish, the bourke fish as the toothfish were no longer present. For the whales to be expending all the energy just to hunt for bourke fish is like us hunting for a single grain of rice. Please see the film The Last Ocean www.lastocean.org and help by not consuming their prey, marketed as the Chilean sea bass (toothfish) in restaurants.
Lastly, it seems a lot of KZread whale experts think the whales are stuck in the ice. They are not. They are in one of many holes in the lead and we are very close to the open sea.

This is hands down some of the best Orca footage I have ever seen. They were so expressive with their body language. At first, I worried they felt a bit stressed from the darts, the swimming got more aggressive. But once that job was done with, they seemed to genuinely want to interact with you all. Absolutely beautiful animals.

Most marine mammals are curious. Fish, too. White sharks are also curious and like killer whales will spyhop to get a better view of objects of interest. In fact, curiosity is not really that rare. Whales are intelligent, but not _exceptionally_ intelligent. The domestic chicken is at least as intelligent and social as any cetacean and probably have a cognitive edge on many species of whales. We went from killing whales for fuel, industry, etc, to almost worshipping them as demigods, kindred spirits with deep wisdom and knowledge. Neither treatment is ideal. This belief in their exceptional intelligence is more religion than science.

I love seeing this family group. A couple of the males have really tall dorsal fins. There was a baby with the group too as it was spy hopping. This is the BEST way to see Orcas in their own environment not stuffed in a fish bowl for being a money maker for entertainment at SeaWorld!!

SeaWorlds male orcas fins collapse because they spend so much time at the surface. A fin that big with no bone or water support is obviously gonna flop. If you havent seen any flopped in a video you havent been looking. For example several orcas in South America have partially or fully collapsed fins as they beach themselves to catch seals. The reason it is thought to be sickness that flops the fins is because most of the time in the wild orcas who have that condition were injured or sick at one point so thats why they stayed on the surface

To all yoo people that say we should not tag and research these orcas because they will be fine on their own, the research produced from this is that the orcas are not okay. The population in the Ross Sea has been declining. Why? Because of overfishing by humans of their prey, the toothfish. We would not know this if not for the research you see in this video. There is a movement to stop himan harvesting of the toothfish. Go to lastocean.org and help save these whales.

Unless you're a seal.
Orcas are so majestic, intelligent and emotional animals. This is my FAVORITE video. Thank yall so much. ❤❤❤❤ how amazing they are. This is why they do NOT need to be in captivity. They need to be in their environment!!!!!!

@@ripplewavess Will SeaWorld shouldn't be subjecting orcas to inhumane ways and they've been doing it for decades. SeaWorld did the s*** to themselves now they're paying the price. Damn right we should involve SeaWorld. They're pathetic

This is what orcas are intended to do be free and do whatever the hell they want. Not be a play toy for humans. When you see an orca with a fin that is erect that means they're content you look at all the ones over the years at SeaWorld and their fins droop over that means they're depressed because they're in such a shity environment. Thanks for nothing SeaWorld.
I’ve always luved Orcas for their grace , beauty & strength. Although , this must’ve of been a fantastic opportunity for the people to see them so close, I can’t help but feel these majestic beauties are in distress. 😢 I hope they were able to move out of the icy area without difficulty. 🙏🏽
Awwwww little penguin 1:52. And I love the Orcas spy hopping!!! ❤️❤️❤️ This is like a dream!
