“Don’t fall for it Jerry, that’s how he got Bob”
-
Orca: " I'm not even looking, you can have my fish" Birds: "You are not fooling us this time, the last time you ate our brother "
-
The orca gave them a fish to try and prove it's not a threat. The amount of patience it must take to save little prey for bigger ones is astounding.
-
The sad thing is this is probably the most stimulating thing that’s happened to them :(
-
That orca is like : “ Hey birds want some candy? I got more in the truck”
-
It even took the bait back once it realized the plan wasn't working.
-
The sheer intelligence of these orcas is honestly astounding. Leaving a fish for bait, moving away to make the bird feel safer with the distance so it would get the fish, jumping onto the platform to try and catch the bird. And yet, they are stuck in captivity. How cruel.
-
Fun fact killer whales actually used to be called whale killers because they killed whales but the name was eventually flipped. They are actually part of the dolphin family
-
it amazes me how intelligent they are.
-
That's actually amazing. That whale was using bait.
-
"Hi friends! Want some fish? Tasty fish right here!" "What's with all the teeth?" "That's just a friendly smile!"
-
Knowing they're that smart and that it's also the animal who has the most culture after humans (yes, culture - they have dialects and can learn hunting techniques or games from other pods of orcas, which I find CRAZY), it really makes you wonder how cruel it is to keep them in zoos and marine parks. They're way too sentient for this.
-
just shows how smart these animals are, and to be kept in bare concrete tanks for our amusement is just wrong.
-
That means these animals are aware of what other animals eat. That's amazing.
-
These poor Intelligent creatures. Trap in a cell their whole life. Even if they were born there, their instincts tell them there's more and they remain unhappy their entire life.. it's heart breaking
-
Their intellegence is scary, and amazing at The same time
-
God that music alone is pure torture. What an intelligent animal.
-
i can't believe how smart they are, that whale knows exactly what it's doing
-
When you see things like this, it does make you question the whole' they wouldnt survive in the wild' statements. I think captive animals are intelligent enough to be taught how to hunt.
-
That is some remarkable intelligence. You'd never think a whale would part from a fish for a meal, but he's using fish as bait to attract a bigger meal. He actually set a trap. When the birds didn't fall for it, he attempted to soak their feathers so they'd be too heavy to fly away. When that failed, he just resorted to taking back the fish.
