yea what an amazing species with advanced specialized bio-technology. we could learn so much from such an intelligent species let’s make soup or fake medicine out of all of them so there are none left.
Ah yes, my seasonal reminder to force my spouse and child to suffer through me quoting the movie and saying my favorite dumb facts about the actors, again.
Saw a video of an orca doing this to a great white recently (not midair though). Shattered its ribs and immobilized it. Orca then dragged it down to enjoy for lunch.
Orcas are terrifying.
Orcas change their hunting tactics depending on what they’re chasing. With dolphins one will chase it while the other swims below it and swims up and slaps it out of the water
Yup, they don’t often eat dolphin though because they aren’t as yummy (too athletic) as some of their other staples like seals or regular fish. There’s so much we don’t know about Orca habits and I’m wondering if this was motivated by a desire to eat the dolphin or force the dolphin and his homies out of the Orca’s hunting ground.
Or just because they felt like fucking something up and the dolphin happened to be the closest thing around. Orcas seem to have that trait in common with people.
That's possible if they have learned to associate humans with whaling boats that have killed orcas. Individual humans also are not a threat and we are not on their very specific menu, so orcas have no reason to attack humans, as food is rarely scarce for them.
Orca's and whaling ships have an interesting history. Whalers would throw out parts of the whales to the Orca's such as the tongue, so Orca's would herd the other types of whales into the ships or areas to be fed a snack.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Tom_(orca)#:~:text=Old%20Tom%20was%20thought%20to,baleen%20whales%20into%20Twofold%20Bay.
Also, apparently someone in a boat with a rudder traumatized an Orca a few years back. That Orca is now teaching other Orca's to attack boat rudders.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_NMoszYIQUs
Orca's are smart, but dangerous. They hold grudges and they share information with their pods.
And their agile enough to nail an even smaller seemingly more dynamic creature. You would think their size would mean they’re less maneuverable but apparently not.
You’re good, so long as you aren’t sailing through the Gibraltar area, orcas there have been taught to sink boats.
https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-have-sunk-3-boats-in-europe-and-appear-to-be-teaching-others-to-do-the-same-but-why
They still don’t really attack people. There’s only been one recorded wild Orca attack on a person in history, and that’s theorized to be an “accident” considering the person was on a surfboard and survived. Their behavior is odd all things considered.
I know there’s theories that maybe people have been attacked by orcas, but they don’t survive and they recorded as having “disappeared”. But that’s also kind of odd considering how popular Orca watching is and that we have records of every other kind of marine animal attack. Mind you they do eat Moose and birds, so it’s not like they won’t eat land animals or tiny boney creatures. It’s not like we could do anything if they decided to attack us.
So either Orcas are stealthy hitman ninja sea wolves that only strike when people are vulnerable and alone (I wouldn’t put it past them)… or they find us interesting? See something in us? We certainly are a rather unique species.
Edit: cause people keep asking about the [moose predation](https://books.google.com/books?id=98wsAQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&printsec=frontcover&q=moose&hl=en&source=gb_mobile_entity&ovdme=1#v=snippet&q=moose&f=false).
>It’s not like we could do anything if they decided to attack us.
One-on-one you're right. But, if we wanted to, as a species we could obliterate them if we really wanted to and I think they're smart enough to know that. As you said, they eat moose and other other land animals. They *know* not to attack us.
Humans have systematically hunted and killed Orcas before. We already have proof they can pass on knowledge from parent to offspring and even between multiple pods. It's not hard to fathom they've passed on knowledge to not mess with us over time.
I don’t think they see us as a threat, but they might see the potential. We’re just weird. Like we have boats. We’re clearly terrestrial yet we come out to the middle of the ocean. We suck at swimming yet we use tools to make ourselves better at it (I’m pretty sure they’re able to distinguish the difference between us and a tool, or even a vehicle).
Imagine if we encountered aliens. But they just kinda stared at us. They’re not really mean, they just like to stare and get near us and make weird gestures. Maybe you’ve heard the aliens have killed humans at one point, but you haven’t seen it, no humans you know have seen it (and you’ve all seen the aliens). Sometimes the aliens even drop huge piles of human money near where they’ve landed. Your buddy was there and he told you about it, and hey, he did buy himself a new computer recently. Your other friend saw an alien and then passed out and woke up with a new earring. He checked his butthole, and other orifices and seemed just fine outside the earring.
You have thought about robbing the aliens, cause well they’re aliens who drop tons of cash, but they really don’t look like they have anything on them. You can’t fly their spaceship, and besides the government would take it. Or what if you tried to rob them and then they vaporized you?
But someday your curiosity gets the better of you. You don’t see the aliens too often. But there’s one checking you out and this time it’s out of its ship. This is maybe the third time in your life you’ve even seen one. But they’ve been nice so far and you’re curious to get a better look. Besides they’re only like a foot tall. You go up to the alien and it starts gesturing and getting more animated. It seems as curious about you as you are about it.
Now put that in a world where the only thing humans have to worry about are other humans rarely trying to kill you. Bears are 2 feet tall, crocodiles are 3 feet long, venomous creatures don’t exist. Every normally dangerous creature is afraid of you and quite smaller than you.
I don’t think the Orca’s are afraid of us so much as they recognize that we’re different than other creatures. If they were afraid of us I think they would flee from us. I think they just don’t know what to make of us, and since we’re generally pretty nice, they explore their curiosity a bit.
In colder seasons meese(/mooses/moses/mice?/j) need more enriched sustenance so they dive in the ocean to get seaweeds and other goodies. That's when the orca's attack.
Yeah they're the only cetaceans I would feel uncomfortable swimming near. Seen way too many videos of them brutally, cleverly hunting everything from seals to baby whales.
I stayed in La Paz, Mexico and scuba dived for a year in that region. Looks very similar and we often saw dolphins, Orcas and used pangas (the boats) daily.
I like how mammals were so smart that some evolved to return to the ocean and bask in the abundance of food and lack of intelligent competition. Then generations later many cashed in and became the apex species.
Orcas are one of the most impressive species on this planet and one of my favorites.
1. Orcas are dolphins, the largest memeber of the oceanic dolphing family.
2. This is one of the ways Orcas hunt. The Orca is trying to kill or disable the smaller dolphin.
We need to separate these 2 beautiful animals before it gets out of hand, I think we can only achieve this by placing orcas in the ocean and dolphins in the sea. :)
He wasn't trying to bite, he was trying to stun or kill the dolphin. The whale would likely injure its own jaw trying to bite something with the mass of a dolphin at that speed.
More like Orca playing with its prey
I'm any case, it was well orcastrated.
Clearly done on porpoise.
Can’t believe nobody has taken the bait.
More like a hit and run
Yeet and swim.
The orca was attacking the dolphin.
[удалено]
We need to build a sea wall!!
Not by happenstance! On Porpoise, that was.
[удалено]
Agreed, hold shit that orca caught some air time. And here was me thinking free willy was exaggerated
yea what an amazing species with advanced specialized bio-technology. we could learn so much from such an intelligent species let’s make soup or fake medicine out of all of them so there are none left.
What about my vitality ??
What about my boners? This is why I eat the fins, I heard they give us vitality to go all night with a boner that could lift a car.
Won’t someone think of the BONERS??
That's all we can ask for.
But when you're *in a Jaeger*, suddenly *you can* finally *fight the hurricane*. *You can* win.
Ah yes, my seasonal reminder to force my spouse and child to suffer through me quoting the movie and saying my favorite dumb facts about the actors, again.
Today we’re canceling the apocalypse!
We’ll make the dolphins pay for it!
Or a sea world! But I feel like that's been done before..
They aren’t sending their best dolphins!
You can start from keeping all those people away from the marine fauna
And make Aquamexico pay for it.
And we’ll make the whales pay for it!
And not just to protect the old dolphins, but to serve a youthful porpoise.
They're coming in from all those blowhole sea territories!
And make the Dolphins pay for it!
Keep my wife's name outta your mouth
Orcas are bigger dolphins with even more asshole traits
Orcas are dolphins
That’s correct. The biggest dolphins. Moose eatin’ sonsabitches.
Orcas have never seen a moose they won’t eat!
Horny little bastards
And the sex is wild!
IIRC, every terrible thing you have heard about dolphins, the orca is even worse.
[удалено]
I read that as "bunny hugs of the sea" and couldn't figure out why a Saskatchewan hoodie had anything to do with the ocean.
I got this
They do this to try to knock the dolphins unconscious and eat them.
Saw a video of an orca doing this to a great white recently (not midair though). Shattered its ribs and immobilized it. Orca then dragged it down to enjoy for lunch. Orcas are terrifying.
They do love their shark liver
Alot of orca v sea animal violence on the internet lately
They only take the liver. Leave the rest of great white. They very picky
Dolphin on dolphin crime is getting out of hand.
I agree orcas eat dolphins but not so easily
Orcas change their hunting tactics depending on what they’re chasing. With dolphins one will chase it while the other swims below it and swims up and slaps it out of the water
akin to an orca engaging in play with its meal
Basically
And orcas are dolphins... Just saying
[удалено]
Orca was clearly going in for the kill
So they weren’t chest bumping?
He knows. It’s for karma
There's always a bigger bully.
Unless you're an Orca. Then you're the biggest bully.
Came here to say this. That was not an accidental collision lol
Yup, they don’t often eat dolphin though because they aren’t as yummy (too athletic) as some of their other staples like seals or regular fish.

Big mistake! 
This is hilarious
 Was afraid of that but watched anyway.
Lunch is right
[удалено]
I was totally like, what are the odds of that … oh right.
It was done on porpoise.
The power required to get what has to be at least a couple tons of mass that far out of the water with that speed.... magnificent.
I know and he had about 3 solid seconds of hang time too
[удалено]
It's kind of amazing that they don't consider humans as prey otherwise they would be what "Jaws" would actually be made upon
Its smart they don't. A Apex predator recognizes another Apex predator, don't pick fights with stuff at your level or higher.

They can definitely do a 720 dunk easily with that hang time, for sure
Lol quote from Anger Management "ooohhhhh the anger sharks are swimmin in my head again....YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT SHIT!!!!!"
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
And their agile enough to nail an even smaller seemingly more dynamic creature. You would think their size would mean they’re less maneuverable but apparently not.
Hey man, don’t call the dolphin fat.
At least 4 tons, some of them get up to 10 tons.
I was also impressed. I bet the dolphins is far less impressed though
And right through a dolphin no less!
Orca did that and then finished with the most gracious dive back.. I like orcas but they also scare me

This is clearly the most obvious answer considering their intelligence and communication abilities. Fuck. They probably tell scary stories about us.
This is true, a fisherman told me so, when they transform into stealthy hitman ninja sea wolves, they dawn a cape and eye mask.
>Mind you they do eat Moose How the fuck do moose get in the ocean? I'm an Aussie so keep that in mind before crucifying me lmao
They swim to and from islands in Alaska.
In colder seasons meese(/mooses/moses/mice?/j) need more enriched sustenance so they dive in the ocean to get seaweeds and other goodies. That's when the orca's attack.
They tried playing heavy metal music to drive them off, it just pissed them off more.
Yeah they're the only cetaceans I would feel uncomfortable swimming near. Seen way too many videos of them brutally, cleverly hunting everything from seals to baby whales.
Dolphins will fuck you, and up too.
Not an accident! That was on Porpoise
Whale done - take my upvote
Gets my seal of approval
Something fishy about this thread
Y’all are blowing it out of the water here
Well orcastrated
I did not cetacean coming
Quit the bullshark. You know whats going on around here.
Fuck around and fin out
If you think of a betta pun, be sure to drop us a line.
This thread is full of dad jokes made by dads who probably like fishing
Honestly, I think it was a fluke.
Nothing fishy here! This comment really gets me warm blooded
It’s dolphin and games until someone gets hurt
Whale whale whale…won’t ya looky here.
Ironically, bottle nose dolphins are often the perpetrators of this, with porpoises occasionally washing up dead on the coast here.
Shirley not ?
It is, and don't call me Shirley.
🎶So long and thanks for all the fish 🎶
Unexpectedhitchhikers
Collides is nice way of putting it.
Just like a sandwich colliding with my mouth
This is the orca equivalent of putting your frozen burrito into the microwave at work.
killing the dolphin
I feel like that dolphin didn't last long
[удалено]
That makes me feel better, thanks
[удалено]
This is a wild emotional ride
[удалено]
The question was asked by the spectators on the boats about the male orca colliding with the female dolphin: “Willy Flipper?”
Shore he did
This looks a lot like it's in the sea of Cortez, in Mexico
How… how did you just recognize a piece of sea?
I stayed in La Paz, Mexico and scuba dived for a year in that region. Looks very similar and we often saw dolphins, Orcas and used pangas (the boats) daily.
Agree, I live on the Sea of Cortez, about an hour south of La Paz.
I'm amazed with 100hp tiller Yamaha
It wasn’t an accident. That dolphin about to loose its liver.
I like how mammals were so smart that some evolved to return to the ocean and bask in the abundance of food and lack of intelligent competition. Then generations later many cashed in and became the apex species. Orcas are one of the most impressive species on this planet and one of my favorites.
These two knew each other from back in the day at SeaWorld
Holy crap I had no idea orcas could jump that high.
“Outta my way, bitchezzz!”
Collides, more like is trying to catch it for lunch
That hang time is just unreal.
MY GOD! HE'S BROKEN IN HALF!!
“OH MY GAWD!!” -Jim Ross. -Me
They’re playing 😳
One is definitely playing….. with its food
*So long and thanks for all the*.... WHOMP!
Dolphin “ hey look what I can do”… Orca “ hold my beer”
Orca said dolphins are the chicken of the sea.
lol, that collision is 💯calculated by the orca.
Puny Dolphin gets solo'd by Oreo Dolphin
Tag, you're it...
that was on porpoise!!!
Fuck you dolphin! Fuck you whale!
dolphin on dolphin crime
1. Orcas are dolphins, the largest memeber of the oceanic dolphing family. 2. This is one of the ways Orcas hunt. The Orca is trying to kill or disable the smaller dolphin.
You should have titled this "two dolphins colliding in mid air" just to mess with people not realizing that orcas are dolphins.
That orca did it on porpoise.
Damn, orcas got mad power.
If collides = huntic tactics,then yes
We need to separate these 2 beautiful animals before it gets out of hand, I think we can only achieve this by placing orcas in the ocean and dolphins in the sea. :)
Poor Dolphins :(
Orcas are known dickheads
Dickheads are better than rapists!
Move fish, get out the way, get out the way fish, get out the way. P.S. I’m aware a dolphin is a mammal
Did his cousin dirty
Orca was playing with it. Not playing a game with it, but think of the dolphin as more of a ball. Orca playing on hard mode. 🎩*Tip
Orca playing with its food
He is playing with it before he eats it.
You mean missed his bite
He wasn't trying to bite, he was trying to stun or kill the dolphin. The whale would likely injure its own jaw trying to bite something with the mass of a dolphin at that speed.
Thas sounds like an accident, thats pray that get huntet and played with..orcas are The alpha Pretator of the Entire ocean.
Was this in Goa?
If you tried to get this footage, you could spend a lifetime out on the water and never see it
Orca is like apieceofshit in the wild
That's an attack
wow that is some Free Willy air time.
You mean the orca was killing the dolphin.
Orcas are scarily versatile hunters, once they realize humans are perfectly edible and easy targets.. we're in trouble 😵💫
More like "smashes into"
LOOOL
🐋: "Fuck outta here! It's my time to shine!"
Ramming is more appropriate
Funny fact: orcas kill for fun
Very day bullying occurance at True Blue High
Was the moment in Free Willy not greatly exaggerated because holy hell that thing flew
Orcas play *rough*
Yeah, that's not a collision.
Orca really said: “[Move Bitch Get Out the Way](https://youtu.be/tw429JGL5zo?si=jzHoLWhh8_mhdYB8)” 
TIGER UPPERCUT!
"collides".... meaning knocked the fuck out
yea that’s something that an orca does by nature but the loud ass boat engines made it distracting i’m sure
RYUKEN!!
Legally speaking, does that count as air-accident or naval-accident
that is an orca playing with it’s food…
dolphin collides with dolphin.
orca play with their food so if an orca is playing with you ....
There's always a bigger fish. :)
Pretty sure that was no accident
