Why Are Orcas So Horrific? ft. Orcaman (That We Know Of) | Lindsay Nikole

Us assuming all killer whales are psychopaths because one likes to play hacky sack with a dead animal is kinda like Aliens thinking all humans are gay serial killers just because they heard that Jeffery Dahmer guy used to go to bars to pick up dudes so he could keep them in his crawlspace forever.

They even have their own self destructive tik tok trends. It's also kinda funny thinking that if they were smart enough to study US they'd might end up calling us "Killer Monkeys".

Also also also REALLY fucking cool how both orca whales and the orcs from lord of the rungs get their name from the roman god/underworld "Orcus" (Rome's version of hades)

Durante todo el video estaba prácticamente al borde de la silla aprendiendo de estos delfines gigantes. 🤓
Se nota la pasion que tienes por la divulgación, y espero que siga creciendo este rincón de internet. estas haciendo un trabajo increible!!

Al final, lo que mencionas sobre su cautividad y "adiestramiento" para realizar trucos también lo considero una práctica con un impacto mayormente negativo, especialmente por su similitud con los "Circos de animales" o "Zoologicos" , donde no se les brinda el cuidado adecuado ni el respeto que merecen estos seres vivos.

21:10 🥹 Seeing the peak of my culture on this channel is an honour 💚🤍🧡

I dont have any audio 😢

They are after foxes my favorite animal😅

absolutely heinous

Why can't I give more likes to this video, so many very well thought out parts.

That Whale is not human bro

I understand this makes me look like a hippie, but I don't consider them animals anymore

Hoekman looks like a Dutch name so it shouldn't be hoke man but huhkman

39:23 You might be very carefully not saying orca captivity centres weren't following good guidelines for how to care for them, but at least some of us out here sure are. 'Cause they weren't.

A "C" is always hard in Latin. "Ae" is "eye". "I" is "ee", "e" is what Fonzi says…."ayyyy". Also in Latin. "Jehovah" behind with an "I".

Orcas honestly scare me more than sharks do, just because they are so intelligent. Beautiful amazing creatures though.

Judging by your non chalant reaction to a stranger jumping thru your back window, ill see you in a couple days. XD

5:24 – surprise potty mouth! LoL

If nothing else, the fact that they have that level of intelligence along with that level of power and there is not a single documented case of a wild Orca killing a human (that we know of) should tell us plenty of their restraint and nature.
The fact that the few deaths recorded are all from Orca in captivity (3 from 1 of them) should tell us plenty on how they feel about captivity.
In all honesty, I try to avoid black and white (aah the irony of Orca coloring…) but I feel similarly about any animal that venture long distances during its normal life, captivity is just not for them. Especially if they're highly intelligent. I feel similar about Elephant, note how often zookeepers get injured or killed by them, and what proportion of them suffer from significant mental issues. This is not to shit on zoos, I still fully believe in their benefits in a number of areas, just some animals do worse than others in captivity…and its pretty obvious at this point that Orca and Elephant are among them.

Humans are horrific the animal world just does what it's designed to do , humans have fucked up this planet we deserve to be wiped out.

It's always interesting how Orcas are the Devils of the sea and Elephants are the gentle giants of the savannah, i feel like for humans the distortion through the water surface is much more emotional than it is optical, like watching everything down there through the lense of thalassophobia until we manage to drag it into our own safe spaces and watch it suffer the same fate we do in it. I hope society can find ways to generate the empathy they need to care for other species, or even just its own individuals, without mincing them through the process of social gaze and deconstruction to determine if they are worth it, there must be better ways to understand value than it's destruction.

Isn't the act of orcas offering humans prey just another trap like the snippet in this same video of them fishing for birds using bait?

BRITISH COLUMBIA MENTIONED

A.D.

Excellent video, Thanks, good job. Makes me thankful that some of our most critical technology just wont work underwater. Orcas with the power of fire, or octopus that lived long enough to learn how to write things down… us bald monkeys arnt really that special, we just got lucky with our circumstances…

Lindsay doing college lectures when? 👀
