Killer Whales Attack Bottlenose Dolphin at the Beach in La Jolla!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
For the second time in less than a month, these Eastern Tropical Pacific Killer Whales successfully hunted a coastal bottlenose dolphin less than 100 yards from the beach in La Jolla, San Diego. While still an incredibly rare sighting for this area, this specific pod has seemingly taken a liking to Southern California this winter. It's unknown if and when this pod will be seen again, but myself and the Gone Whale Watching team will be ready with cameras in hand for when they return!

They are apex predators of the oceans, so this is to be expected. Still, watching them hunt is breath-taking. Incredible footage.
Poor dolphin, but those orcas are incredible and just beautiful. This footage was beyond amazing especially with all the different angles, perfect! Thank you!

@@drd6893 It’s not really strange; it’s pretty common in nature for larger predators to hunt and consume their smaller relatives. Birds of prey, felines, mustelids, canids, reptiles, fish, And even primates exhibit this same type of behavior.

Incredible footage however, it would be so much better with the actual sounds of nature rather than dramatic music
Incredible footage!!! One thing that surprised me is how strong the dorsal is, and even it can change the direction the dolphin is going in such a major way.

YES! I was in awe at how quick those giants can change direction and turn right around on a dime!
Their situational awareness is incredible, to be able to co-ordinate these attacks without bumping into each other, and even distracting the dolphin with their movement to set up another pod member for an attack (0:26). Can't deny their intelligence.

Orcas really are a$$holes. They could just kill that dolphin......but they like making a sport of it. That one dolphin ain't gonna feed them all, but they all join in just to make a game out of it. The Great White.....just show up and kills you. Orcas are like Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction. They want to show up, eat your burger, drink your soda, scare the hell out of you, read you a cryptic bible verse and THEN kill you

Instead of watching this why didn't anybody do anything. Like I would have slammed something against the boat or something or hit the boat for loud noise under the water. This is so heartbreaking and I love My Orca's but I will not just stand there and watch them hurt this dolphin that doesn't bother No1 😢😢😢 I can't believe ppl would just stand there and record and watch.
We can see why they need to be in a group... A single orca would struggle to catch a dolphin.

They work awfully hard to get their prey. You would think that it would be so much easier to attack like sharks do. I don’t know a lot about Orca’s but I have always wanted to go on a whale watching trip.

La Joya where exactly? Which country?
they are such amazing hunters. Their strikes are so perfectly timed. There's just no where to run because they know where you will be before you know where you are going
Orcas are so bad ass!!
He is so out numbered 🥺
@0:30 you can see their tactics in which they box in the dolphin, only for a trailing Orca to come from below and make the strike?
شكرا جزيلا لك على هذة اللقطات الجميلة
Sacre bleu!
Nature can be brutal. The dolphin was out gunned and out numbered. It didn’t stand a chance.
Is it possible the Orca were playing with that Bootlenose Dolphin? Admittedly in a very rough way. But I don't understand why the Orca didn't bite when they had the opportunity? Did you witness the end of the encounter?

Muita emoção com as criaturas de Deus lindo demais ❤
So striking is a more lethal tactic for orcas than biting.
Clearly filmed and in slow motion . A full array of techniques easily observed. Sensitive - or new to nature video - viewers may faint . . .
So sad to see..... Yet, that is life and death.

Amazing 👌🏾 🙌🏽

To sice ano Ale kosatky stejně jako kočky zabíjejí šokem.Timto způsobem pokud delfín uteče má větší šanci přežít, kdyby do něj kousli a on uprchl tak by stejně nepřežil.Takhle tu šanci má. Navíc když ho zažívá budou trhat je to nehumální ještě víc. Taky to zavolá ostatní predátory a to by pak nebyli dobrý. Takhle je to přijatelnější

The dolphin was out maneuvering them there were just too many & I'm sure the poor dolphin was worn out from jumping out of the water so many times. Sad to watch but that's nature's food chain.
Why don't they just bite it? It seems like they waste more energy trying to secure their food than their food is actually worth

Orca are beautiful and majestic apex predators. They’re also very friendly, playful and gentle towards humans. They don’t have the privilege of going to the store for packaged meat and therefore must hunt for their food. I wish they would make La Jolla their permanent residence and help us to reclaim the Children’s Pool.

I'm going to take the time to tell you something nobody else is going to take the time to tell you!. Nobody wants to hear your dramatic music you think that sounds good with the video! You are not the only video person that does this, and unfortunately, many people do this, and it cheats the viewer, us, out of the real experience, and having a little of the true feelings of what it must really have been like, to see this! We want to hear those whales, and what all of that splashing and hitting really sounds like when all of that is going on!!! Why do you and the many people that film videos like this, that are so rare, and catch unique situations, or circumstances like this, that few people in the world will ever get a chance to see, almost always think you need or want to replace the real audio, just to play some music, or a song you like, that we all hear on the radio!??? Did you want us to hear your music you made up on your Laptop, or did you want us to see the whales!??? If it's the song, you don't need to go out and go whale spotting, and find and video whales to do that!!! We don't want to hear your computer invented music, beats, or sounds, a cd, or the radio!!! We want to hear the Whales! You kill and ruin the real experience of what it is like to be out there on the water seeing that, and how it feels and sounds when you remove the real audio for what I explained above; your favorite song you like for the next couple of months, etc. . There are times for a video with music, so here's two examples! Film yourself walking from your car, to the dock,... walking down the pier carrying your baggage, and walking up to your boat or yacht, and film yourself loading it. Or, if you were high up over the water, and caught anykind of sea creature or animal, silently swimming under the water, never breaking the surface! There! There's/Here's your video that you should/can play all of your sounds you want to invent on/in your laptop studio, orchestra music, or your band songs, is the proper time to play all these, and/or dramatic tunes and sounds you want us to hear,... nothing unique there to miss in normal everyday sounds for us, except, you might want to leave out the full video view of your yacht! But once you get out on the Bay, or the Ocean, leave those sounds alone; don't take out the real audio, because those these are the real sounds we want to hear!!! The sounds that GOD and JESUS made!!! I should not have to tell people that have money, and that are fortunate enough to do all of these things, because they know that few people are rich right!?? Lke, how hard can it be to know this? Very few people can take off of work to go wingsuit flying in the Himalayan Mountains, must less buy the wingsuit, but billions can buy cd's, and just about all of us can listen to the radio, and so we all can hear all of the popular songs! But I remember, billions of people do not have a boat, or don't have a relative or know someone that has one,... have never been on a ship or a boat, and billions of people still have no idea of what all of these things sound like out there on and in the water! Do you know there are billions of people that still have still never seen an oceans shore and heard a crashing wave, and billions of more things people have still never seen, had, or heard yet! So please! Stop trying to replace the sounds of Whales splashing, and beating up Dolphins! Stop trying to replace the sound of exploding Volcanos, and the force breaking sound of a mountain cliff edge falling off, a flash flood, Thunder & Lightning, a Tsunami breaking in the harbor or shore, or even a ship when it's being launched or destroyed!!! Stop putting one of your favorite songs or one of your favorite sounds to try to replace the real audio, which is the sound of these things, because you cannot!!! Because,... > > >THESE ARE THE SOUNDS THAT GOD MADE!!! 😲 🫡
