@voidremoved I got a good lmao too. But Themis person ain’t completely wrong. Overfishing is creating a lot of competition... too much plastic in the ocean has to be annoying any large ocean dwellers... and there is now a species of orcas that has been feeding in the northern arctic , with brand new strategies. Not surprising, but we are amidst an extinction event, and it’s going to be a boring world when it’s just humans, bugs, and bacteria. Our crops will be just like humans, inside. I’m probably a little off. But it would be nice to see a major powerhouse take it seriously. The iron60 is naturally heating our planet, but America needs to bring manufacturing of green energy home, and then install it at home. We’ve ignored it for over 50 years. It’s sad really. Even I believe in transitional nuclear, yet our yucca mountain complex has denied every state using it, including its own. If you took all of our nuclear waste and tried to put it there, it wouldn’t be large enough. So really it’s time to stop being ignorant to climate change and overpopulation and the plastic damages which have limited options for fixing.

still a O.orca. Yes, I am a whaler, i eat dolphins, i try kill them humanely and do it sustainably and not take more than needed. not commercial. hate me all u want, never gonna change, for me whale/dolphin meat is normal, like u eat pigs, cow etc and people in india think eatiing that is weird and an outrage. but lets do facts here: Killer whale is correct english term, since "orca" is totally in correct since its a binomial nomencleture, and is the species. u can NOT do that without putting in genera/genus) Orcinius. genus always capital first letter, species NEVER! many animals can share same species name, like "orca" but NEVER share same genus and species at same time, so Orcinus orca or O. orca is taxonomically correct. since there could be a H. orca, the O. orca is VERY important. secondly, stop correcting from "its not a whale but a dolphin" it sounds retarded because its so much deeper. in ceataceans (whales) there are families and subfamilies. dolphins belong to Delphinanea, family. thats a family in ceataceans(whales in common speak) so yes they are whales! Blue whales and Bowhead are not only not in same genus they not even in same family. as big a difference between them as between O. orca and the blue whales(cant remember their binomial nomencleture, i am spider person, not marine person(spiders belong in entomology) So point, they are whales! another point. all domesticated animals started as wild caught and wild animals. keeping big whales like killer whales in captivity should only be done if u have a bio setup, with natural prey(live prey) and not chlorinated water but bio flora and a HUGE tank and a good pod. then its okay :) But NO ONE could ever afford that! so it cant be done setting them free? 1. most will die, they cant even hunt! 2. most are hybrids. their are subspecies in the O. orca, and seaworld etc have mixed the subspecies and we do NOT want to pollute if one survives and crossbreeds! period! keep animal bloodlines clean! enough animals are destroyed, just look at snake hobby! attacks in wild DO OCCUR! and they are violent! search "hans+surfer+california+72+killer whale+bite" and u can see many sites with several attacks. NON fatal YET but bloody and serious! so stop the myth about no attacks in the wild. and just because there is no recorded fatality does not mean it has not happened. MANY people die each year from snake bites but officially maybe 100-200 world wide die because no official report or cause of death is done. same with shark attacks. so there might be more attacks even fatal ones which has not been recorded and hence not in official statistics.

They're used to be named whale killers

During this slow "pandemic time," I've been studying Orcas on KZread. I believe we are witnessing "evolution" in plain sight. These animals are highly intelligent and are merely adapting to the "Over-fishing" of our oceans by large "Commercial fishing" operations. These animals are far more intelligent than we are when it comes to adaptation or evolution. Some of these "killer whales" are targeting Great White Shark livers. Yes, that's correct... they've developed a "taste" for the livers in Great Whites (who are thought to be the most dangerous predators in the waters). If the Commercial Fishing operations are harvesting more from oceans, lakes, and rivers; then what "choices" do dolphins and Orcas have? This is the smart move on an evolutionary basis, as Great White's food sources are also limited. The same can be said about Polar Bears. They will soon have to "adapt or die" to survive the Climate Change. If you do not believe in Climate Change and its irreversible affects... stop reading now. You will just remain as a smaller part of an exponentially larger problem.

This species concept has it's limitations though as it does not work with organisms that reproduce asexually, like bacteria, ring species (a species that spread through an area where neighboring subspecies have viable offspring, but at some point a new subspecies can no longer reproduce with the oldest subspecies) and also e.g. with big cats (tigons (like a liger but the other way around) are often fertile).

In short, they will look for any lame excuse to "discover" a "new species". DNA sequence analysis cannot tell you much beyond what is the same/homologous, and what is different, about the nucleotide sequences. To think that one can distinguish two populations of orca as two species, based on DNA analysis alone, is preposterous. Is there a magic threshold number, beyond which two populations are of different species? As for so-called hybrids: while female ligers are fertile, there is no evidence that indicates that male ligers are fertile -- that is, ligers cannot perpetuate themselves.

I do not know much about killer whales other than they live in Biological pods of interbreeding. I do not know how many explore to find new mates not biolgical. I heard of a few rouge killer whales but you all seem more knowledgeable than my studies. What I am interested is and though I do not believe killer whales should generally be kept in captivity by any means, In the case of the very few albino killer whales off the Russian coast, I would like to see a very large natural salt water inlet safely enclosed to house a albino or two if possible and if not, a albino with another one or two from it's same pod of the opposite sex to breed all while overall feeding their natural diet. As mentioned, I do not know much about killer whales but I do have over 20 years of breeding very rare exotic and native species of recessive genes. If for reason the other whale in it's pod does not carry the albino genes, the baby would be normal in color but with the albino gene often referred to as a het. for albino hopefully the opposite sex of the albino to increase the chances. I do not know how many babies they have at one time either but by mixing a albino with a het, 50% of the offspring would come out albino and the ones that do not, will carry the albino genes for the next generation. Once albinos are generated, It would be nice after feeding on natural foods but not to train them for shows or anything. To raise them to a safe sub adult size where they would likely survive and release them back into the wild. If tagging can be done, maybe into their original pods also. If they can intermingle, possibly into these other whales around the globe. I understand what you all are referring to in ligers and such with have the pleasure with working with one at a facility called Zoological Imports that supplies all zoos with species when they do not have breeding groups from around the world. At the time I worked with two zoos and this facility as Dr. Sudos head assistant of veterinary medicine in Miami. Ligers are indeed very interesting to say the least however very unpredictable showing more the tigers natural traits than the lion for unknown reasons. Who knows if the whales if bred from these 4 groups would change anything with them or territorial issues.

@Sousa Teuzii .. there is no such thing as a half albino that is visible. A " *Het for Albino* " in any animal is a normal colored animal of it's species with albino genes. The albino genes are not visible being recessive and they are not Co dominate nor dominate genes. This alone proves that you have no knowledge of genes to begin with so therefore you do not know if there was a "half Albino" ever captured. You would of had to visually see either a albino orca breed to a normal orca and or a albino breed to a known het. for albino orca. Bottom line is there is no one who has seen any orcas actually breed let alone a albino. This proved you are lying on the "half orca" ever being in captivity.

I wouldnt call them a new species, just a genetic alteration between family groups. They are basically saying Hispanic, Asians, Blacks and Caucasians are different species.

Well, it's not quite the same thing. Different orca groups are in the process of Speciation, that is to say, they are evolving to become distinct species. The reason for this is the fact that different orca groups don't mate or even interact with each other any longer. If I remember correctly some groups haven't mated with each other since the last 100 000 years, so that's quite a long time.

@@stephanielindstrom207 yea that's called a sub species. Same reason why Florida Panther is called a sub-species and not a separate species.

"They are basically saying Hispanic, Asians, Blacks and Caucasians are different species." That's what you got out of this video? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

More likely to be a sub-species, or a cross-breed. Some of the physical characteristics look closer to a Pilot Whale. DNA profiling will provide a quick answer.

Amazing animals

*subspecies

Interesting video... I would not call them new species, but rather subspecies of killer whales.

Fantastic
