Orca pod surfaces from right underneath sightseeing boat

A leisurely day out on a whale watching got extremely exciting very quickly. After a few hours cruising around trying to locate the Humpback and Orca whales that were being talked about on the marine radio, the time had come for some close up activity. Earlier in the day the group on the excursion had departed from Anacortes, Washington. After aboard, safety briefings done, the captain fired the engines and away they went. Slowly departing the marina, the crew notified the tourists aboard that they would actually be heading into Canadian waters as that was where the whales were currently being spotted. Sitting back and enjoying the beautiful summer day, Brent and his wife found a comfy seat and took in some sun. Once nearing Vancouver Island the captain notified everyone that there was a solo Humpback whale just ahead. This stirred everyone's curiosity as most aboard had never seen a whale before in the wild. "Watching the Humpback breach the surface, arch its back then sound to the depths was very peaceful but exhilarating" Brent said. After a short time enjoying the Humpback ,they all scooted south to another location where Orca had been spotted. Now things really got exciting. Seeing a small pod of whales that appeared to have some young orca with them was amazing. Suddenly another pod was located approximately a half mile away which seemed to be swimming in circles. This footage was recorded right at this location. The captain explained how orca hunt and how they train their young. Mainly feeding on fish and seals as they provide a very high in fat meal, the whales being to circle, then contact the seals with their flukes(tail) or actually pounce atop the seals. After some training, the hunt was over. Adult orca, or killer whales, eat between 150 pounds and 300 pounds of fish or seal per day. This requires a good part of a day to accomplish at times, all dependent on the time of year. The orca can become quite ingenious on their hunting skills and do at times work together to track and hunt schools of fish or pod of seals.

Snorkeler Gets a Surprise After Jumping in Water

Over four years of saving money to make her dream come true and go and work with whale sharks... She spent four weeks there, but didn't see a single one! On her very last day, she went on an ocean safari, for her very last chance to see one before leaving... they spotted one from the boat!! Everybody geared up and they jumped in the water (it was on the other side of the boat), but as soon as she did, one of her fins came off!! Everybody swam towards the shark, and she had to swim in the opposite direction, to try and find the lost fin, in the hopes that the animal would still be there when she came back! She wasn't looking at them; she just wanted to put her fin back on as quickly as possible, but her camera was still recording... and she I finally looked, she got an amazing surprise: the whale shark was actually swimming straight towards her!! It took a very long time, but it was totally worth it! The Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) is the largest fish species in the world, reaching 10 meters in length, and weighing 9 tons! But in spite of its impressive size, the whale shark is a filter feeder, which means that it only eats plankton, and it is harmless to us. It is the sole species in the Rhincodon genus, and the only member of the Rhincodontidae family, although it shares the Orectolobiformes order with a diverse group of sharks from all over the world, including the 30 cm long Barbelthroat Carpet Shark (Cirrhoscyllium expolitum), with a total of 43 species. Whale Sharks are endangered, and major threats include fisheries catches, bycatch in nets, and boat strikes. Unfortunately, recent studies show that Whale Shark fins are now demanding high prices, which should result in increased targeting.

I decided to dive and have a look and didn't see anything other than a rock and an anemone there. When I swam around, I noticed that a nice octopus tried to get invisible and metamorphose himself with the rock. It was a real pleasure to be there."

Thorny Devil Lizard Walks Using Hypnotic Movements

We feel like we don’t show you enough videos of lizards and sometimes they can be fascinating animals, and they also have a lot of skills. Just check out this thorny devil lizard and his smart way crossing the road. A thorny devil crosses a quiet road in the Tanami Desert, NT. Like chameleons, these unique lizards walk with a rocking motion to simulate spiky debris blowing in the wind. Amazing, isn’t it? Lizards are little reptiles that have a long tail, eyelids, and for the most part, have four legs with five toes on each foot. They can vary in color and also in size. Most lizards love to eat creepy little crawlies like this guy, and that is the reason they are called insectivores. Lizards are also very significant because they help to control the bug populace. The lizards that eat little creatures and also birds are called carnivores. A couple of lizards eat plants, and they are called herbivores. Lizards is a group of animals which we haven’t share a common ancestor of millions of years which is really fascinating for some people. They are brilliant creatures, and the level of interaction with them is different from the interaction with dogs and cats, and that is why a lot of people consider having a lizard as a pet. The thorny devil, or also knows as the mountain devil, they are covered in spikes and can puff themselves to appear more prominent, and yes they are known for their funny walk. The thorny lizard’s unique gait involves strolling, stopping often, and rocking back and forth. This characteristic delayed, unsteady movement appears very slow. Probably, their jerky movements and constant freezing in place help conceal them if a predator spots them out in the open. Crossing the road can be really dangerous for them, because of their camouflage they get run over really often. The thorny devil is a lizard that has to stay still for a long period in order to camouflage itself, which results in some of these creatures getting run over. They are also very vulnerable due to natural loss and disturbance. That’s why there is an organization who help these animals because even though they are called devils, they are actually harmless and they say that they are lovely animals. People did no justice for this animal by giving such a harsh name to such a non-dangerous animal!

Divers Meet Massive & Majestic Whale Sharks

Whale sharks are one of the most massive and majestic creatures in the ocean. They are second in size only to a few of the whale species, and they are the largest fish to have ever roamed the oceans. They reach a length of 55 feet and have been estimated to weigh almost 100,000 pounds. To see them in movies or in pictures is a memorable sight, to swim in their presence, close enough to touch one is simply awe inspiring. These divers have traveled from different parts of the world to scuba dive in the waters around Darwin's Arch in the Galapagos Islands. A unique set of conditions cause three major ocean currents to converge and they bring food to the area for plankton, krill, and other small fish, which in turn, attract the larger predators. The Galapagos Islands were formed when underwater volcanoes erupted and sent pillars of rock toward the surface. The islands are now home to an abundance of land and marine life, with some being among the most diverse and unique on our planet. Hostile and beautiful at the same time, these islands attract tourists and nature enthusiasts from across the globe. For scuba divers, this is the Mecca, and the whale sharks are a big part of their reason for venturing to such a remote part of the planet. They are gentle giants, incapable of harming a diver. Their mouths are designed to feed on the smaller creatures that drift on the current. They swim with their wide mouths open so they can filter the krill and plankton. Almost all of the whale sharks that are seen here are pregnant females, yet nobody fully understands why. Little is known about where they go to give birth. Whale sharks have little reason to fear humans, or any other creatures. They can out-swim, or out-dive predators easily. They have also learned that humans will rarely cause them any harm. Fiercely protected by the government and by the tour guides in Galapagos, the whale sharks are safe from harassment and human contact. Swimming beside them in a manner that will not pose a threat is encouraged, but they are never to be touched or harmed in any way. Responsible scuba divers understand the reasons for such strict rules. These divers were extremely moved by their experience with the whale sharks. It is a trip that none of them will ever forget.
