  • TOP TEN Killer Whale (Orca) Encounters Caught On Tape

    The last one is so sad. That whale is Luna, and she was abandoned by her pod in the Puget Sound. She was so lonely that she would seek out human interaction. Everyone was told to stay away from her because if she got too comfortable with humans it would lead to her own harm, but of course who can resist an adorable Orca that wants to be friends. In the end, she was hit and killed by a boat because she didn’t know to stay away.

    Being surrounded by apex predators without being attacked leave humans in a state of heightened awareness doubled with wonder and bliss

    know there has never been a recorded killer whale attack on humans in the wild but I would shit myself if that happened to me while kayaking..

    Even though they were using the boats’ wake to their advantage, the fact that they could keep up with ease for so long is amazing. They truly are the masters of the seas.

    Those Orca’s that were “chasing” the boat were surfing on the waves caused by the boat. You’re forcing all that water forward like that is actually helping the orca’s to keep up. One of them looks like it’s having a real fun time.

    omg the video of the dad with his little son and the orca that swam upside down is so so wholesome. the genuine laughter and smile they had. it‘s moments like these that really make you appreciate live and that they‘ll never forget.

  • Giant Whale Jumps Out Of Nowhere – Incredibly Close Whale Encounters!

    Whales are magnificent beasts of the sea, these giants can grow up to 90ft and weigh as much as 24 elephants! These lucky people got to experience these whales up close and personal. From whales jumping out of the water to divers swimming side by side, we have it all here.

    I’m not sure what’s more impressive, that something that big is able to move that fast in the water, or that there are humans with enough balls to get that close to a creature that big. I get butterflies in my stomach from behind the screen, I cannot imagine being there in person. Absolutely incredible creatures.

    The amount of strength they have in their tails to be able to lift their entire body mass out of the water… imagine getting slapped by a whale tail

    1:43 is seriously one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen. It’s a gigantic swarm of small fish, attracting a feeding frenzy of many predators at once. First, the swimming birds, then the huge whale, then all those sharks & dolphins come out of nowhere. Absolutely amazing.

  • Kayakers help save seal pups entangled in netting.

    A kayaker based in Namibia captured his encounters with numerous baby seals trapped in netting and how he cut them free with a line cutter on May 11.

    Schalk Louw, who filmed these rescues, caught the seal pups in a specially designed blue net after the mammals had become entangled.

    “We got a net from a good friend in California to help aid us in our rescues. We’re testing it out and it works well with the small pups. In the video, Naude is using the net to catch a pup caught in fishing line and I used my line cutter to assist him and to cut the pup free,” said Louw.

    In another rescue, the kayaker manages to catch a seal by its tail that had fishing lines around its neck.

    Louw told Newsflare: “My line cutter could not cut through the line without having to use excessive force. Thankfully Francois was there with his Leatherman so he cut the lines off and the pup was free to play again.”

    Footage shows a herd of seals on a beach in Namibia running towards the sea while the filmers chase them with a blue net. The bag is then placed in front of a baby seal who runs directly inside.

    A specially placed zip on the bag is opened where the head of the seal is and the rescuers then use their cutters to remove the netting.

    The filmers show how they hold the puppy’s head down with some force because of the strength evident in the sea mammal. However each seal then happily flees to the sea, free from the manmade trapping.

    Mr. Ho, my father was a creative and innovative person like you. In the 70s, he built the first factory of fiberglass products in Iran, but unfortunately, due to not using a mask while working with glass wool and resin, he contracted lung cancer and died. People like you should be healthy and present their science and art to people. Please wear a mask when working with fiberglass.

  • Leopard Dives into Muddy Water to Catch Fish

    Candice Pappin, a nature enthusiast, was lucky enough to watch this leopard grow up in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, making every sighting she gets extra special. But this one will never be forgotten.

    Over a few days in July, Candice noticed the leopard returning to this specific waterhole. He kept coming to check the water level, and when it was dry enough, we found out why…

    “I knew he was waiting for all the fish to be huddled under the log, so I kept coming to check on him…”

    Some African species of catfish have adapted to survive with almost no water for certain periods. They enter a dormant state called aestivation and use hardly any energy. In extreme cases, they can survive by burrowing into the mud.
    That said, they haven’t adapted any abilities to deal with all the new predators they face when the water levels drop. And the leopard knew this!

    One morning, Candice went to check if the leopard was still at the waterhole. He was, and Candice spent three hours with him, but without much activity. Just as she was about to leave, a couple of warthogs came for a drink, and the excitement began!

    “He immediately went into a stalking position, but the warthogs caught his scent and ran off as he came sprinting out of hiding.” The leopard missed out on the warthogs, but the chaos from their escape caused the fish to squabble, which definitely caught the leopard’s attention.

    “Like a switch, it triggered something inside him. He ran straight onto the log and decided it was now or never! Looking at the fish, he reached into the muddy water, and with a swift movement, grabbed one!”

    “I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. The adrenaline was pumping; those three hours had paid off, and what a show it was! He went into a catching frenzy…’’

    “At one point, he decided to walk straight into the muddy water and submerge his head, which was very entertaining! He eventually ended up covered in black mud from head to toe.”

    “By the time he was done, he had caught 11 fish! Some, he carried into our hide or placed under a bush, others, he left lying on the dried mud, and a few were stolen by a Saddle-billed Stork and a Fish Eagle.”

    “The ‘fishing spree’ continued for days after that, and I’m sure it will carry on until all the fish are gone and the ‘puddle’ has disappeared.”
