the orcas coming for Steve.
Steve: it's incredible, they are hunting in groups, surrounding their prey, but I do not see any seals nearby....

[davinciacox]

Him: “it’s important not to go towards them”
Also him: *goes towards them*

[enderethan]

Let’s be honest the real badasses of the ocean are the Orcas cause they just make sharks look like sardines.

Steve: “They right underneath me. Wow!”
Orcas: “Confirmed lads, he’s edible. Let’s make a plan”

When you hear Sir David's voice it's about to be game over for some poor animal

[dontwatchmydoomvideos]

imagine strolling on the shore, hardly toe deep in water when a 30ft long 6 ton overgrown penguin looking miniwhale flies at you

[DC]

Steve doesn't get enough credit for what he does. The guy could be in the orcas mouth and still give you brilliant journalism.

Guy in the first vid was too excited, like a kid in a toy shop. 😅😂😂

Steven Irwin wouldve gotten eaten by a killer whale and then wouldve gave a detailed description of what was inside the stomach

[vogelchenzwitschert]

Sea Lions: *being very fast and deadly hunters*

Giant Black-and-white dolphin tank: Well, acTuALLy-

As much as I love the killer whales, I felt really bad for that minke whale

I spent over 20 years working at a wastewater treatment facility in Washington state. It was next to a harbor connected to the Pacific Ocean. I retired and came back to walk the beach near the plant, which is next door to a wildlife refuge. As a walked along, I noticed some activity in the water about 100 meters from the shoreline. I was then treated to an orca chasing fish parallel to the beach! It was a beautiful, crisp late summer day and I only wish I had a camera worthy of taking a few photos. My cell phone camera really didn’t do the scene justice.

Given the title of the video, that first one stressed me tf out

[bigchunk]

"Steve?!? No."

I think the more accurate question would be: "SHOULD steve be afraid?"

I watched blackfish, one of the former trainers at Seaworld, went out to study orcas in the ocean. He was in awe; he saw active animals, travelling long distances, straight dorsal fins, working as a team to hunt and train the youngsters. Whilst he was a trainer, he was told that collapsed dorsal fins were normal, the lethargy and aggression amongst pod members was normal. He found that was hardly any aggression in wild pods

[billcooper]

Followed a pod of 16 for about 4 hour, incredible.
They watched us, looking up at us.
But didn’t bring along a camera.
Still a great memory.

They look so beautiful and majestic in their natural habitat compared to the bath tubs that seaworld put them into

[NWard]

These animals are unbelievably strong and fast. They deserve nothing less than our utmost respect.

At 8:06 when the orca spewed water out of their blowhole it created a rainbow

[fib]

"It just looked straight in my eyes". Yeah, the same way I look in the eyes the shrimps when I pull them out of the oven 😆
