Killer Whales Discovery Documentary

Time to move on from what is going on with Sea World to something else. I want to talk about this documentary that came out in 2010 by the Discovery Channel. This documentary, Killer Whales, gives information on orcas. Ok, yes, I gave facts about orcas before but this goes into more information. This film shows how they hunt and how they interact in the world. You learn how they hunt and how intelligent they are.

You can watch Killer Whales on Netflix.

Orcas are strategic when it comes to hunting. They sometimes take the chance to come on land! Normally, they only use this technique when hunting for sea lions or seals. This documentary shows you how they live in the wild. These beautiful creatures belong in the wild and not in tanks. How will we be able to see the wonder of nature if people keep them tanked up.

Orcas are like people when telling stories or wisdom. Orcas pass on their skills and techniques to the next generations. They are able to "adapt to any prey they desire." Although orcas are a part of the dolphin family, they hunt their cousins, the dolphins. Orcas seem to have developed some knowledge to go to Africa at a specific time of year. Why you may ask? The dolphins gather there in order to get the sardines and that is where orcas will head there for the dolphins. This documentary shows how smart these orcas are when they work together.

The documentary also talks about orcas having a different language. Even though they use echolocation, they have different sounds for specific orcas. Its like they have their own culture as well. When hunting, they use a technique called spy hopping and they communicate with the other orcas on how to get the seal off the ice. They worked out a problem and executed it together. How amazing is that! The documentary even talks about who is stronger, an orca or a shark? You gotta watch it and see how cool that is.

Although this documentary is mostly about orcas hunting, you learn so much. You even get an understanding as to why orcas don't really hunt humans. Orcas learn through generations about what to eat and they may have learned that humans are not that tasty. Orcas are also playful creatures. They show just how wonderful they are and how smart that may even surpass humans. I recommend watching this film that way you get an understanding of how orcas are.
