Scientists are discovering that orcas, among the most social and intelligent of marine animals, have unique family structures and behaviors, passed from one generation to the next. National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry traveled the globe to document orca pods—where he found that diving with these special creatures can lead to strange and wonderful situations.

    Fun Fact 🐋 Orcas live in groups with their own distinctive cultures and dialects. Tell us something you learned from this video 👇
  • @ryans7097
    Always amazes me that these people interacting with Orcas in the wild never get attacked. Not saying they're mindless killing machines (which they're clearly not) but I guess it just surprises me that an intelligent Apex predator has never been curious to see what we taste like haha. One of my favorite animals, they just fascinate me.

    Amazing podcast. To the people complaining about the lack of visuals: there are no visuals! You want corresponding footage for everyone one of these stories?? Use your imagination! It's a free podcast. Enjoy it. It doesn't need visuals at all. There's plenty of Orca footage online.

    I love the the animals so much Whenever i sits in front of TV Channel i watches are animal planet,discovery,National geographic firstly.
  • The podcast is very interesting because it tells us what orcas are like, what their secret culture is like, and some similarities they have with humans. Some people believe that they are evil and attack but in reality they just play and are friendly, they are considered very intelligent animals developing new echolocation hunting techniques. For example, when they shared a meal with Brian Skerry.

    this episode is incredible. i've revisited it a few times now; the storytelling, the audio design, the pacing and topic--it's all amazing. thank you for this.
  • @HOV4N
    Visuals with this narration would be awesome
  • Before this video, I liked orcas, but I thought they were really aggressive and attacked often. But now I know, they are just playful and loving!
  • @georgieb3612

    Never let these wonderful whales be caged again let them free in the wild forever! Rip dawn
  • This video is very interesting, because it allows us to learn about the secret culture of orcas and certain similarities they have with humans. For example, the orcas shared a meal with Brian Skerry; When comparing killer whales with human beings, it can be said that they have certain similarities and are considered highly intelligent animals that have even developed new hunting strategies.
