I'm not exaggerating by saying that this is the most heart touching well made and produced documentary i've ever seen in my life, i feel so joyful and i'm happy by the fact that a smart human being like David could communicate with my favorite animals in the world, the orca.

I prefer Beluga Whales and ordinary dolphins (Belugas are my favorite animal though)... Orcas can be assholes the way they terrorize other marine mammals like Sea Lion pups (which I really like) by throwing them up in the air repeatedly for some fun before eating them. If they do have the amount of empathy people believe them that could almost be described as an “evil/sadistic” behavior...

Brian Cline well they are called “the wolves of the sea” yes their behavior does seem cruel, but that is how they hunt. Their called” Killer Whales” for a reason, which you know. They eat other whales, kill Sharks Great Whites for their liver. I do adore belugas and dolphins as well. These mammals use 60 percent of their brains. Amazing

Ruthy Gilmore true I suppose it is just part of nature, and they probably aren’t cognizant enough to consider the trauma they inflict when doing that, and I suppose hunger knows little boundaries of morality in the wild. I agree though their intellect is very impressive as is their social behavior. It’s also interesting how they almost never attack humans even though they could kill and eat us just as easily as many larger sharks. Still though it is something I like to point out when people talk like they are innocent a angels and humans are the devil... Orcas don’t seem all that innocent to me lol. I do really like them too but the more I’ve learned about their cruel behavior especially towards other mammals including whales, the more I’ve come to favor dolphins and especially the Beluga whale (which has always been my favorite). I don’t care really what they do to fish though as they aren’t nearly as evolved and intelligent/aware as the marine mammals. I also have a new growing interest in the Octopus, there are some cool documentaries on KZread showing just how impressive their intellect is.

Poor orphaned seal... I want to hug him 😢😢God blesses this men in documentary 🙌🙏🙏

Watching this at 1AM...watched the whole thing. I have to be at work in a few short hours, I should be sleeping. David, you are incredible. This is the best documentary on orcas I have ever seen. I felt like I was there with you. May God bless you and all of your endeavors. I’ve always had a fondness for orcas. Your passionate work and experience with these animals has really touched my soul. I will never forget this... thank you! ❤️

The scene where he naps and goofs with the seals was honestly really sweet.

This was a very nice documentary and it was an eye opening experience. I was really sad when the one little pup was orphaned and had to fend for himself..just hearing him cry for his momma and then be pushed away from the other momma seals broke my heart. I was literally crying over that part.😢💔😭 Also there were a lot of things I didn't even know about Orcas..like for instance..they sleep with one eye open literally because only half of their brain sleeps at a time. Also that they rub up against each other to show affection to one another..and that each pod of Orcas have their own unique speech pattern to talk to one another. That's awesome! Like they say" You learn something new every day"! Thanks for the great video! 🤗🐧🌊🐋💙

Me and my 7 year old son looks at this documentary every night before going to sleep ❤️❤️

This documentary is so beautifully made and the interactions it captured just fill people with love for wildlife. Really appreciated your wonderful work!

Love how he is in bright orange clothing and pacing about with a camera but they totally ignore him. We dont realise how wonderful a world we have.

I watch over and over this documentary . I am from Laos, a small land lock country bordered with Thailand , the other 4 countries in the Indochina region. I am highly appreciated to see your teams achievement. Your documentary is over an d over excellent of what I can tell

25:26 you never really get a good sense of scale of the males until David starts running in with the camera and keeps getting smaller and smaller

Because those shots are obviously green screened. A faked aspect to an otherwise fabulously shot doc. Look at where he is looking, often not quite at the seals. Look for the glow around his body, pasted onto of the action.

That’s why he refused to even comfort him at his last moments and let him get eaten alive, terrified and alone. It made him a bunch of money. Reminded me of 80’s documentaries when people didn’t save, rescue or rehabilitate animals and no one thought twice about wearing fur or whaling

there is another documentary which is quite similar to A Man Among Orcas. It is called 'Deadly Islands - Killer Whales Island'. In this documentary, killer whales exhibited their remarkable intelligence in hunting seals. Strongly recommended.

Has to be the best video I've ever seen on KZread! Simply amazing documentary

Seeing the whales, seals, penguins and even birds all accepting a human into their world was amazing. Meanwhile, all we do is betray all of them. Sensational documentary nonetheless. If only more humans could be so embracing as David...

While there is a part of me that questions the wisdom of this man risking so much to be this close to the apex predator of the sea. Having grown up around the sea myself and interacting marine life. I appreciate his due diligence and desire to be one with these powerful animals. This is one outstanding video. To all who made this happen, thanks for what you have done and thanks for sharing.

I thought they never slept. It was cool to see how they sleep. Glad I watched.

The best thing I’ve ever seen on you tube

AWESOME!!!! This has got to be the most stunning/breathtaking video I, In my sixty years, have ever seen, about Orcas & Elephant Seals. I truly envy Mr. Reicnert for being able to socialize with these wonderful creatures. Makes you wonder what GOD was thinking when he created them. I will definitely watch this over and over again.

Wow brilliant is alls i can say!

Moral of the story: the friend of your friend is not always your friend ;-)

GREAT documentary! I would say David is the James Reed of Marine animals 😄 That shot at 11:10 in the reflection of the eye of the elephant seal. I mean come on, he is unbelievable. I don’t know if that was unintentional, but it was amazing and so unique. I LOVED it!!

Realy nice so pretty without any people and thank you for these wonderfull movie

absolutely an amazing documentary

Cool 🏖🏖🏖🏖🏖

thought i had lost you my greatest documentary of all time

Watched this a couple times throughout the years and I always love watching it

Best orca documentary ever made. 1 man one hunter ! Outstanding contribution to nature. Plus he's very brave ! Human and orca become one ! Amazing

This was the most beautiful documentary I’ve ever seen.thank you

Best documentary I've ever seen on wildlife!!

Fabulous! Thank you! Au revoir!

We all talk about how fascinating the animal is but how bout we talk about how fascinating the human species can be to get this close to wild orcas not knowing the outcome?

This camera man deserves an oscar!

This was heartbreaking to see the baby get attacked and left for dead.

i love elephant seals

David thank you so much for your video ! I totally enjoyed it and you are so Blessed to have this experience

Very nice

Not sure exactly which company, if any, this man David is associated with but nonetheless he's awesome.
