Orca encounter with diver and dog (Orcas at Matheson Bay, New Zealand)
Encounter with Orcas at Mathesons Bay, Leigh (New Zealand).
The free diver was on his way back to the shore when he must have seen the Orcas and quickly scrambled out onto the rocks. It seemed like there was at least 4 Orcas around him of which one was a mother with her calf.
The one Orca came very close to shore where the Labrador was busy retrieving sticks from the water. He saw the whale and quickly turned around and swam back to shore with the Orca following as far as he could go.

The dogs owner seems more bothered about getting it on camera then his dogs wellbeing, if that was my dog with a orca underneath it i would be terrified! Unless this is a common occurrence and hes just used to it therefore he doesn't worry? I'd love love to know what the dog was thinking when he turned round and saw that in the water right behind him 😱
Not only the top of the food chain but one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet. The Orca is fully capable of making a decision based on needs and circumstance. Had the dog been a seal or penguin then certainly a different story.
I like how once the dog reaches safety in shallower waters, the dog turns around and lets the orca know what he thinks of him.
The orca was clearly just checking the dog out. If it had really wanted to grab the dog, it could easily have done so.
Orca - “that seal has legs!”
The dog swims to shore full blast like "oh f%$#". Once feet touch ground it turns around and starts barking at it. Ha ha. Too funny
Great footage…..I would have been so scared for my dog!
I can’t imagine my dog at risk and laughing about it. I’m glad it worked out well.
Not every day an orca sees a dog,it was curious.
Wow you can really tell the Orca was really tying to figure out what the Dog was 😳
Orca was like "Ohh, he's with the bipedals, better leave him alone"
The dog is so cool! At first it looks like he wants to play with the orca, but finds out it's a tiny weeny bit too big for his comfort, and scrambles to shore. Again he turns to see what the heck that was, sniffing his tail.
Majestic and social creatures of the ocean, orcas are incredibly intelligent mammals.
I know plenty about Orcas but I’d still not let my dog swim with them under any circumstance. They are amazing and powerful enough to do as they please with whatever they feel like. Thankfully some of the wild ones only have a problem with boats
lmao that dog was like "oh shit oh shit oh shit" XD
Magnificent, intelligent mammals! 🥰
Brave dog! My 200 lb mastiff mix saw a seal dive into the water from a rock. With a shriek, he performed a backwards levitation-like leap from ankle deep water to land. 😂
Thats curiosity from the Orca. Being a highly intelligent creature and an apex predator if they want to hunt and make a kill its a different story. They are the largest of the dolphin family and hence this social nature towards others.
Dog: "Ooh SH%t!"
I really find it hilarious how so many ill-informed people think the orca is actually trying to harm the dog. It's obviously a juvenile and what it's doing is textbook investigative behaviour. If a predator as intelligent and and agile as an orca wanted that dog then the dog wouldn't have got anywhere near the shore.
