The intelligence, the calculations and the hunting skills these orcas have is phenomenal... The last moment where the seal was swimming like crazy to save himself and finally did saved himself was breath taking... And what a superb narration by David Attenborough...

[Darjaboo]

That is straight up terrifying from the seals perspective.

[joestar]

@ 2:00 Even when they swim, they make sure their movements are synchronized, like a military step, so they don't hit each other or disrupt the built up current.

[philochristos]

Can you imagine how terrifying that must be for the seals?

[ledzeppelin]

David Attenborough, a man like no other, the undisputed king of broadcasting, legend!!!

[jessicatharp]

I honestly had a little bit of anxiety with that clip.

[containedhurricane]

Amazing cinematography. The camera work is simply world class

[inamghafoor]

my heart stopped with the anticipation to see if the seal got away

[zekefister]

That chase scene at the end is unbelievably beautiful, exciting, yet scary...all at the same time!

[ryand]

How on earth did that seal jump that fast out of the water onto an iceberg? The Tom Cruise of seals.

[alba-k]

The coordination of the 3 orcas is incedible

[raselkhan]

They have superb communication and understanding between them.

[Tmays]

Their eye balls are scary asf when you realize the intelligence behind them 😅

[rileyclark-ooev]

This was the first time I’ve heard this kind of build-up intense music on BBC. And it was orchestrated so perfectly. That whale was inches from snatching that seal and the music made it sooo much better and nerve racking.

That seal was like: smoke in the air Smoke in the air!

[nigel]
