Look at all these idiots watching a once in a life time scene through a phone screen. Put your fucking phones down for once and enjoy the moment.

This kind of close coastal encounter happens periodically in the Pacific Northwest (Puget Sound / Salish Sea region), where both resident and transient orcas are regularly documented near beaches and populated shorelines. This isn't AI generated. This happens here in the pacific northwest. One of the beautiful things about out here.

Do these people know Orcas do this ?

That must be a steep drop off the shore.

Put the phone down and jump in.

Another cool thing about Canadaโฆour Orcas (although other countries have them). An apex predator that is smart enough to know it. They just do their thing. If you ever find yourself in the water with one, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. There has never been a single documented case of a killer whale attacking a human in the wild. Even that pod in Portugal that was sinking boats (scientists speculate a boat hit a baby orca triggering the rage), no humans were killed in the water. One of the most amazing videos ever recorded was of a pod of whales teaching their young how to hunt for seals on ice flows. Killer whales will swim very fast towards a piece of ice with a seal on it, turning and stopping quickly to create a wave that washes over the ice, sweeping the seal into the water where other killer whales are waiting for it. In this video, each time the seal (it was only one seal) was knocked into the water, it wasnโt killedโฆit was put back on the ice by a whale, and another member of the pod Practiced the move. the remarkable thing was, when they were done practicing for the last time, they didn't kill and eat the seal. And, they didnโt just not kill it and leave it. The video ended with them actually putting the seal back on the ice where they found itโฆand then swimming away. Killer whales are truly beautiful creatures.

Amazing. Hold your phone-cameras horizontally, people! The videos look much better that way.

Cool Video, But the song takes away from the truth of the moment.

Look like Puget Sound! Can you confirm location?

You can always tell when theyโre around because all the seals come up onto the beach. lol

Have these idiots never seen footage of an orca pulling a seal off the shore?

gotta love Washington

Is there a cliff right there?! Crazy drop off.

Orca's swimming in the Pacific Ocean near shores always bring excitement to locals.

Love Puget Sound and our magnificent Orcas!!

My wife and I went on a whale-watching cruise and saw a similar situtation, with people on the beach and orcas nearby. All I could think about were nature videos on tv showing orcas throwing themselves onto the beach and swimming off with mouthfuls of baby seals.

I guess they never saw one grab a seal off the beach.

I'd be sobbing but in a good way. Tears of joy!๐ซ

Amazing, thank you for sharing๐๐ป๐ฅน๐๐ซ

Wow๐๐

There must be a kid there. They love the kids.

Great video and choice of music ๐ณ @medicalopsgirl

anyone know where this is specifically? maybe a job for @josemonkey

What's on the menu at Fox Island?

Free Willy song nice

That is very cool. Some deep water a few feet from the shore there.

Whatโs thatโs amazing?! Where is this at?

they are in too close...are they disoriented due to a storm ???

An absolute stunning day

British Columbia?

But but butโฆ. Everybody is looking at their screen!

Orca can chase you on the sandy beach...

Thatโs crazy close to shore!!!

Era mais ou menos o meu sonho
