Hello, Capt Josh here! This is my wildlife channel with all my footage on it from my adventures, everything from the tiniest birds to the biggest whales! Finding, filming, and then showing the amazing animals of this world to people is my passion, and I hope you find my videos enjoyable and educational!

So many commentator's who got fed too many Disney movies here. lol Your cat, if it catches a mouse will toy with it for hours and not even eat it, if you let it. Nature is brutal. That includes the "Cute" ones. Great Blue Herons will eat baby ducklings whole.
I thought those PETA morons would sweep in and save it.
I agree with the girl. Its sad but beautiful.
A fight for several hours of many Orcas against a sea lion...was it woth it? Wouldnt it be easier to eat some sea weed instead?
I think the Orca are much more efficient when they move through the water than you give them credit for! The amount of energy each orca expended to kill this Sea Lion was probably regained by the first two or three pounds of fat they ate off of it, and there were hundreds of pounds of meat for them to eat! They can’t digest Seaweed. 😕
That’s a seal? Sea lions have huge snouts
Male Steller Sea Lion!
Hence the 2nd Ammendment
E essa música de fundo?
Yes i heard the news. They found 6 dead orcas.
All that biochemical energy spent (from several individuals) to gain a 650 kg meal … hope it was worthwhile; again from a biochemical perspective!
I think the Orca are more efficient at moving through the water than we give them credit for, and that the Sea Lion fat is higher in calories/energy than we realize. It might have only cost each of them a couple pounds of Sea lion "fuel" to do all that hunting, in which case the hundreds of pounds they get from it would be well worth it. I guess we need to find out how much energy it takes them to swim quickly like that with lots of jumps and evasive maneuvers?
What was the water temp (as well as time of year)? Id love to do that dive!
Cold!! I dove mid May, and temps were somewhere between 38-40 degrees. It's a favorite dive site of mine!
@@AlaskaWhaleanddronetours ew! And no hood?! Sounds painful!
@@3mta3chaos um, I was wearing a hood?
So their strategy is, 2 disturb the water to disorient, and one ram from a direction he not expecting.
Exactly! It's pretty impressive how well they coordinate.
Really sad for the brave and strong sea Lion but that's nature. If it was just a 1 on 1 he could make it alive because of his agility and strenght.
He probably could! Only the biggest and most desperate Orca would try for him 1 on 1, too much risk of getting chewed on. But the Orca's greatest strengths are their brains, numbers, and ruthlessness.
Seems to me that the orcas used way more energy getting the meal than what energy the meal supplied. Especially divided up amongst them.
Why was he so far from safe land and where is his group 🥺 poor guy.
Sea Lions regularly swim out in open waters, diving hundreds of feet deep to catch fish and squid. They hang out together to rest, but usually swim solo when they're out hunting.
5 against 1... Cowards!!
It's not their job to fight fair. It's their job to put food in their bellies.
Nature is cruel but there is no other way.
Animals struggling to survive on both sides.
5:12 I don't know HOW they did it but that group charge made the sea lion jump directly in front of their biggest orca who just so happened to stagger behind the main charge for a direct hit. Did they... did they plan that?
Yes.
Bruh and people believe that they could take down a bull sonar whale When they could barely even take Down a sea lion
The Orca weren't in any hurry, and most whales don't have teeth like a Sea Lion! They were taking their time, not in a hurry, and finished the job cleanly without any injuries. The ones that take down whales are in much larger pods, and specialize in those hunts. Those hunts can last hours too!
what a spectacle of nature!
Thanks for watching!
Imagine getting hit by 4tons and these orcas are small.
The speed of the orcas is crazy
It's amazing how long the attack is.
They weren't in any hurry.
😢
Music sux... FYI
Battered sea lion for dinner anybody?
A sea lion cannot inflict a lethal wound on an Orca.
Nature is metal
The whales never intended to kill the sea lion. This was all practice play. If they’d wanted to kill it they would’ve done so a lot quicker and not waste so much of their own energy.
Orcas are the true apex of the sea
Yep, nothing is higher on the food chain!
Amazing, good job!
Thank you!!
The female is playing hard to get. She is making him work for it.😂
Life is not kind and life is not fair.
Crazy the orcas strategy of running 2 side by side then smasher right off their tails
It's pretty remarkable how good their coordination is!
Let this beast of a sea creature tell you something about life, that you must fight visciously knowing well that you will die.
True that! We all die in the end; it's how we live that counts!
Playing with their food, One of them could bite him in half. Teaching the younglings to hunt as a team. Give me a break. Like Cheehtas or big cats or Wolves they need to learn to hunt and prey. That Bull seal has no hope against a full grown male or female Orca. It is practice. They are not called the Wolves of the sea for no reeson. Fully grown male or female only have to worry about other Orcas if they not in a clan which is very unusual. Apex predators Training for their underlings.
Seriously?! 10 minutes of my life I’m never getting back.
The bravest sea Lyon !
The next opponent for the orcas to challenge is a pod of pilot whales. Let's see that play out, then tell me who the apex predator is.
Last I heard, the Pilot whales hold their own very well! We don't really get them here in Southeast Alaska very often though. It'd be cool to see that faceoff!
Now that is a true warrior.
It's not about winning, or losing. It's about the fire and courage about fighting to the end regardless of outcome, even if it's only to protect one's-self.
Willi is a repeat offender!
is it worst that I enjoyed it or that I searched for it
😂😂😂
Wondering why he stayed at the surface for most of the battle. He could of escaped by staying lower in the water column to avoid being rammed at full force when the orcas reach escape speed at the surface.
Maybe because underwater, his only sense to see them is vision, and he can't see too well? The water was pretty murky. Down there the Orca would have all the advantage with their sonar. I think they could ram just about as hard deep underwater as they could have on the surface. I've heard their sonar is so precise that they can pick out the biggest salmon in a whole school of fish! Also, it's an air-breathing animal. So when it's getting chased and hammered like that, it's probably getting winded. It'd be like running from a bear and then trying to escape by holding your breath underwater. Normally might be able to do that for a minute or two, but with an elevated heart rate and adrenaline, and having been running, you'd probably be down to 20 seconds!
Omg, this is so awesome! I've seen many GPOs, but always in a den.
Thanks! It was the biggest one I’ve ever seen myself out and about!
Orcas and dolphins are bullies. Also where was the sea lions backup? I thought they usually travel in multiples?
They’re just out there surviving to the best of their ability. Sea Lions frequently do stick together when resting or traveling, but we see single ones pretty frequently when they’re actually hunting.
@@AlaskaWhaleanddronetours I agree. Nature is going to take it's course and no one should intervene like some dorks on here have suggested you should. I've personally seen orcas and dolphins be straight up bullies tho is what I meant by my comment. They often pick on animals for no reason and kill them then leave the carcass to rot. Dolphins especially. This seemed like they were using the sea lion to train the younger ones. It looked like they would regroup and "discuss" who would be the distraction and who would give the striking blow. It also looked like three separate orcas did the attacks. Also it's hard to see but I feel like there were two that stayed under the sea lion to keep it from diving and hiding even when the others regrouped.
Shouldve saved battery for the end, guess your cellphone battery also died
We had to leave because the cruise ship my passengers were on was going to leave. 🤷🏻♂️
@@AlaskaWhaleanddronetoursohhh i see! But how you know they ate it .. maybe it survived.. i hope it escaped
@@edwinlaing9834 There was another boat that stuck around longer, and the captain who's a friend of mine saw the finish. It didn't make it.
Wait, you said the battery died. How do you know that the sea lion was eaten? Incredible footage, by the way.
Another boat was out there longer than we were, and they saw the ending. Thanks!🙂
i dont like orcas eating dolphins and sea lions. i think they should stick to eating sharks.
Sea lion deserves a statue
Sea lion gets the last laugh: orca will be extinct soon.
I couldn't bare to be around all those whooping , screeching yanks while witnessing this natural spectacle
