Orcas vs. Sperm Whales | Nat Geo Wild

Nat Geo Wild

[NatGeoAnimals]

Did you know sperm whales are the loudest animal on Earth? What do you think about this standoff between the orcas and the sperm whale?

[davisjohnson]

Imagine how unchallengeable a pod of bull sperm whales would be. 1 bull can fight an entire pod of orcas, imagine a whole pod of bulls.

[serious.business]

"I don't like the name 'Whale Killers'. We need to come up with something better."
"How about Killer Whales?"
"My god... You're a genius!"

[kevindavis]

The only whale I know that will fight back against killer whales.

[dianedeatherage]

I love Sperm Whales! They are so mysterious. Occasionally I like to see the Orcas fail. The Orcas won't starve.

[jonathanbai]

sperm whales can hold their breath for 2 hours. thats almost impossible to drown

[nahaniyes]

Louder than a gunshot? Ummmm... Try 5 million times louder. It is thought they they can communicate with other whales ACROSS THE WORLD. Their clicks literally paralyze humans.

[jaftemx]

I wonder what sea life Orcas drove to extinction in the sea because of how successful of hunters they are.

[SKCodesForFun]

so glad to see Orcas losing once in a while

[annemabrie]

'sperm whales' I wonder if someone was drunk when naming that awesome animal

[brettperry]

If this was the incident I think it was, it should be noted that the sperm whales actually outnumbered the attacking pod of orcas.

[fratellonuno]

wow! I once saw humpback pod defeats the orca pod but this is rare

[OrdinaryMiracle]

1:00 Sometimes you gotta appreciate having lots of earwax. :P

[GandalfTheTsaagan]

Sperm whales are really tough, yet orcas and pilot whales still bully them from time to time, amazing

[SME]

If only the blue whale would fight like this

[ernestogasulla]

So how come there are never records of their loud clicks? Based on the video, orcas ran away from sappy Muzak.

[D.o.l.l.a.r.s..]

The bull sperm whales could kill with powerful blow from tail and their clicking could kill entire pod, if nearer.

[joshuaguzman]

Orcas have been able to successfully hunt every whale in the sea. They have been seen in groups of hundreds of hundreds that type of numbers would kill anything in the ocean

[slayerzerg]

love sperm whales, they hunt giant squid in the deepest depths of the ocean and have sound-canons wow. also orcas are no match a sperm whale bull is not something orca's would mess with.

[realitymatters]

Dang that's the fight... nothing to see folks we were just playing 😭😭 🤣🤣 like bullying the bully 😐😭
