I love how most of the birds are like “this is way too easy, it is planning something”

It's kind of scary that even in captivity, an Orca still has its hunting instinct. They're smart as hell.

Moral of this story: don't accept candy from strangers.. especially if said stranger is a 16000lb killing machine.

Notice how she backed away so that the birds were more tempted to get closer. She knew EXACTLY what she was doing.

The risk was calculated, but man this bird is bad in math

[waranontwiwaha]

Orca: Here have a fish
Heron: Ummm... What is the price?
Orca: DEATH

I'm never going to trust a floating credit card down at the beach again.

Orca: "Here, have a fish."
Bird: "This isn't some kind of trick is it?"
Orca: "No way. Take it as a sign of friendship!"
*Morgan Freeman: "It indeed was not a sign of friendship, and was most certainly, a trick."*

Bird : getting ripped apart by orcas .

Girl : good work Lia.

When they start using burgers and beer let me know.

The level of intelligence this took was scary to think about.

1. The orca knew the bird liked fish
2. The orca understands the concept of bait
3. It had to understand that the bird would be intimidated if it was to close
4. It analyzed the birds response based on how close the it was and made changes
5. The scariest thing is the orca had forethought and INTENT to grab the bird

wtf...

The craziest thing is that Orkid was born in captivity. She was never taught how to hunt anything. And here she is making up her own hunting technique to eat something besides fish.

PLOT TWIST: He takes the bird to the bottom to use as bait to catch a shark.

[Steel-]

The birds are like: “dude I totally dare you to eat that” lol 😆

[RayMak]

Such a smart girl. Investing small money to get big money.

[ApexGale]

The fact that the orca deliberately thought "I will sacrifice my meal for a chance to catch a bigger one" is genuinely amazing to see. Delayed gratification and risk vs. reward. Incredible.

[seabasortega]

That whale was like, “screw this fish I want some chicken

[saifkhouri]

The way she swims back to give the bird a chance to catch the fish is absolutely BRILLIANT!

Orca: "Come on birdie. We both get to eat. It's a win-win situation."
