Filming Baby Killer Whales & Great White Sharks on the Same Day

In this video, I explore the coast with my friends to search for orcas and great white sharks. Could we find each, on the same day? I plan to host what I will call an Apex Quest later this summer. This was a test trip and it was successful in every way. We were surrounded by orcas. Two pods came together. Shortly thereafter we found a great white shark! Stay tuned for more.

Family outings for the Orcas was beautiful, like meeting up with your family and friends for a day out. That made feel a bit sad for the shark 🦈 who was all alone, even though they like to be.

    Love your channel! I Learned from another Orca channel there are “2” types of Orca’s: Coastal Orca’s travel in larger pods it’s all about family and are more particular about what they eat. Then there’s deep water Orca’s that don’t travel along the coast they’re more transient and travel in groups of four-ish or less, and eat anything and everything, little more of a vicious mindset. 🌎

    Thanks for the beautiful videos that you post on your channel. It seems to me that you’ve put your drones to use in a genuinely helpful way. The fact that marine biologists are using your videos to extend their own knowlege of behavioural characteristics of these beautiful creatures. As I write this note, I am sitting on Polzeath beach in Cornwall UK. Perhaps I should use my drones for the same pursuit. We have lots of Basking Sharks, Mackerel or Porbeagle Sharks, Blue Sharks (once you’re in pelagic waters) and a host of other marine animals (dolphins etc.). There has been one sighting by marine biologists of a White Shark off the Scilly Isles. There was a video of it on KZread. But it has been taken down for some reason. The theory is that we have perfect waters for them now Northward towards Scotland which has one of the largest Sesl populations in the world. Add to that average sea temperature rises and who knows. They might become a fixture in our waters. Great vids. Fantastic.

What eludes me and is my bucket list cetacean are Orcas. I would absolutely lose it. But whale watching is hit-and-miss...my wife and I went whale watching off Monterey, Cali in the hopes of seeing Orcas because they had been reported and viewed in the area just a few days prior but they had moved on or were in another part of the Bay that day. We did however witness humpback whales bubble-net feeding several times, saw Rissos dolphins and a few ocean sunfish that day.

    So breathtaking! I love your videos that allow a whole different perspective of these incredible animals. Do you know what kind of orcas they were? I recall you were able to find out the names of a couple of them. Also, I'm curious about something... I don't know how your camera works so I'm not certain if it gets down close to the water or just zooms in. Do the orcas ever see/watch the camera? Would they follow it if it had a certain color on it? Just wondering if they would interact with it or observe if they weren't busy socializing or hunting. Anyways, thank you for another amazing video!

    Could it be that some of the orcas are related, such as the 2 males being brothers, and the 2 pod families came together to "see the new baby", just as a human family would do after a birth. Since they are such social creatures, and both pods had a small infant with them, could it be feasible that the youngsters were being introduced to extended family members and they had got together for a "play date" ? I may be attributing far too many human actions towards this event, but what if it was the case and pods did come together after one of the females had produced offspring and he/she was in fact shown off to extended family in case anything happens to the pod : "This is Auntie Fiona and Uncle Mike. If anything happens to us, you go and find them and they will look after you O.K !"
