we got to protect these relatives of us, who are, as a book title once rightfully said, "the spirit in the deep".
AWESOME IS The Word
Is it coast of norway?
Plot twist: the orcas return to eat the whale’s tongue
Mighty neighborly of the orcas to feed the humpback whales the majority of the bounty. That seems atypical of their usual behavior.
In the dark under water, at low visibility, a gadget with a diver shows more clearly what were there. Echolocation or sensing vibration, a magnet field, water pressure fluctuation or smell, how do they spot their precious meal?
Cameraman was brave!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
00:02:38 That one fish escapes from whale mouth and swim towards the camera, you are a fighter, mate
💜💜💜
I don't understand what the orcas gain from this interaction with the whale. The humpback seems to get a nicely formed bait ball it can swallow up, but if the orcas are eating the herring too why wouldn't they just keep it for themselves? Does the humpback's presense benefit the orcas somehow?
What a total piece of $hit harassing the diner table of endangered mammals.
What great footage! It's amazing the gracefulness of these mammals. So majestic! How close do you really want to be to the herring as tons and tons of whales are ready to feed?
Beautifully filmed
Great video,but it never say where in the North Atlantic.
Cool
They are beautiful good film BBC
I always thought that humpback whales ate plankton?
I've had the pleasure of kayaking with dolphins, playful but their size and intelligence are really unnerving. I would be pooping myself in that guys position, but what an amazing place to be! Imagine saying 'that's my job'! That is incredible.
2:34 Watch this moment! That fish shows us, 'When we are near death or in utter despair, don't give up! Use all your strength to rise again.'" 💪💪💪❤❤❤
Today I learnt the difference between a shoal of fish and a school of fish, thank you BBC!
so there a are at least 3 cameras operating for this doc; on the boat, on the drone and one in the water with the diver
2 💦 creatures feeding 😮
Sehr schön Gruss Jürgen 🤠
👍
We got whales and orcas eating together before GTA 6
I think this narrator will wear Sir David Attenborough's shoes in the future.
Woooow❤❤❤❤❤❤
IRL Lo'ak moment
as long as I can remember, nature has always fascinated me with its beauty
Swimming with feeding orcas….!!!!! 😳😳😳
That would be so exhilarating to be in the water capturing this dance that the orcas do to feed them all. Mind you, it’d also a bit intimidating when you see that huge male orca! 😳❤️
I could do without the over-the-top dramatic music
Bravo…..😻
Resident orcas and whales. Transient orcas kill whales
One of the very few places where Orcas & Humpbacks don’t hate each other’s guts.
This is the first time that I've heard about Orcas and Humpbacks working together to feed. Fascinating.
Dark oxygen found next to Hawaii in the depth of the ocean new way to produce oxygen ❤❤🎉🎉
I wonder if they could eat more when the background music played in the scene.
Wow
Classic
An outstanding recording
God created the seas and oceans with an unparalleled grandeur and beauty, covering a large portion of the Earth's surface and serving as a vast source of life and biodiversity. The seas and oceans exemplify God's immense power and profound wisdom in maintaining environmental balance and the continuity of life.
In the Holy Quran, Allah says:
– "And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and He subjected it that you may seek of His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful" (Surah An-Nahl: 14).
– "And He subjected for you the sea to sail upon by His command and that you may seek of His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful" (Surah Al-Jathiyah: 12).
In the authentic Hadiths:
– The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of the believers in their
You should talk to Robin Baird. He filmed the killer whale beaching itself and eating a seal for national geographic. According to my conversation you do not want to die alone because they stun with sound and if you're within arm's length you will be knocked unconscious. Hey Dove almost every day for 2 years n got that seen for national geographic.
now this would be something to see that one could never forget
