Incontri INDIMENTICABILI 🫍🤍🖤 Le orche affioravano dall’acqua. Scomparivano. Riemergevano poco più in là. Nessuna consapevolezza della nostra presenza, nessun interesse a mostrarsi. Solo loro, l’oceano e una libertà che noi possiamo soltanto immaginare. Ero lì, a pochi metri da creature che avevo sempre visto attraverso uno schermo, e cercavo di imprimermi nella memoria ogni dettaglio. Il movimento delle pinne, il respiro, il modo in cui sparivano nel blu lasciandoci ad aspettare che tornassero. Non so quante altre volte mi capiterà di vivere un incontro simile. So solo che, mentre le guardavo allontanarsi, avrei voluto seguirle. Non per raggiungerle, ma per sapere cosa si prova a esistere, senza confini, nell’immensità dell’oceano. Hai mai avuto la fortuna di vedere questi animali? #washington #letestedicamper #orca #orcas #whalewatching

🐋 ¡Seguimos buscando la identidad de esta hermosa orca! 🖤🤍 En el último avistamiento en el Archipiélago de Humboldt fotografiamos a este macho, pero aún no logramos hacer match con otros registros. 📸@jampu21 Un detalle interesante: presenta cicatrices de antiguas mordeduras en el lomo, que podrían ayudar a identificarlo. 🔎 Si tienes un archivo fotográfico de orcas de Chile, te invitamos a comparar su aleta dorsal con tus registros. ¡Quizás encontremos una coincidencia! 📍 Archipiélago de Humboldt 🇨🇱 #OrcasChile #Fotoidentificación #CienciaCiudadana #whaleschileexperience

APEX PREDATOR- pod leader, occasional shark-eater 😉 I don’t think it gets better than sharing space with such a powerful and intelligent creature 🫍 I used @sonyalpha A1 in @seafrogs.com.hk housing with an @osmo_global filming on top 📸 Follow for more ocean adventures 🦈 🫍 🐋 #orcas #killerwhale #ocean #apex #sonyalpha

ETP killer whales in perfect conditions! 🤯🙏🔥⚡️ We encountered this unknown young killer whale with heavy markings along its side cruising through perfectly glassy offshore waters. The rest of its pod was scattered across the area before it suddenly linked back up with them and the group continued traveling as a unit. We were on a strike mission offshore searching for anything when suddenly these killer whales popped up. Nothing beats finding Mexican killer whales in blue glassy calm water with no other boats around! You never know what you are going to find offshore and that is part of what makes these encounters so special 🫡 🎥: @whatcameradoyouhave  #ETP #ETPkillerwhales #orcasgonewild #WCDYH

The feast after a successful hunt. The last moments of a Brydes Whale and nutritious meal for a pod of Orcas. This is still one of the craziest predations I have witnessed and I am still blown away by the strategy and dedication that went into taking down a 20 ton whale just to feed on its Nutritious tongue. The whale never stood a chance and within 10 minutes it was bleeding out and too weak to fend off or escape. #orcas #whalewatching #killerwhale #orca #hunt

Severed dolphin pec fin THROWN into the air during a killer whale spy hop 🤯😳💪🔪🔥 After successfully hunting a common dolphin, shredding it to pieces and sharing the meal with the pod - this killer whale surfaced with the surgically removed pectoral fin in its mouth. It suddenly spy hopped out of the water, launching the fin into the air while falling backwards into the water. You truly never know what you’re going to witness offshore. Moments like this are wild, raw, and completely unforgettable! 🙏🤯🔒 🎥: @whatcameradoyouhave  #killerwhale #orcasgonewild #WCDYH #channelislands

🇱🇷 ⬇️ English version in the first comment! Uno de los momentos más impresionantes que he vivido en el mar. Fuimos testigos de cómo una familia de orcas cazó un delfín. Cuando todo terminó y la presa ya había sido compartida entre el grupo, entramos al agua. Dos orcas jóvenes seguían sujetando un pequeño trozo del delfín. Podían haberlo tragado en un instante, pero continuaban tomándolo con mucha delicadeza: acercándose, separándose, conectadas por ese pequeño trozo y haciendo giros juntas mientras nadaban. Después de la intensidad de la cacería, ver una escena así fue algo muy especial. Por un momento sentí que estábamos presenciando algo muy íntimo: una forma de cercanía y de conexión que no siempre tenemos la oportunidad de ver en el océano. #orca #killerwhale #bajacaliforniasur

- ESP - Un depredador tope no suele cambiar su trayectoria por un humano. Cuando encontramos orcas bajo el agua y vienen hacia nosotros, normalmente somos nosotros quienes nos apartamos y les damos espacio. Pero esta vez no había mucho margen para hacerlo. Era una familia grande y muy unida. Cuando comenzaron a abrirse, yo ya estaba justo en medio de su trayectoria. No quería acercarme más ni interponerme en su camino, así que la mejor opción era quedarme quieta y dejar que ellas decidieran por dónde pasar. Y entonces ocurrió esto: una familia de orcas pasando a centímetros de mí, completamente en sus propios términos. - ENG - An apex predator doesn’t usually change its course for a human. When we encounter orcas underwater and they are coming toward us, we are normally the ones who move aside and give them space. But this time, there wasn’t much room to do that. It was a large, closely bonded family. As they started to spread out, I found myself right in their path. I didn’t want to move closer or get in their way, so the best thing I could do was stay still and let them decide where to pass. And then this happened: a family of orcas passing just inches from me, completely on their own terms. #orcas #killerwhale

A core memory unlocked for @roamtobewild 🌊🫍 Whether we like it or not, entering the water with these intelligent and magical cetaceans is an intrusion into their world. Yet, being accepted and interacted with so gently on every occasion left me completely humbled. 🥹 To experience a connection that supersedes anything I’ve ever known, and to be welcomed so openly by these wise souls, is a gift I will never take for granted. 🐋✨ Grateful for these moments and the feeling of my heart melting 🫠 Shot on @sonyalpha with @seafrogs.com.hk #orcas #killerwhale #ocean #exploremore #uwphoto

Do you see the baby orca turn to look at the boat at the end? Drone photography of a mother orca and baby orca swimming through the ocean. This was my first time droning orcas and they really move fast once they get going so I was happy I was able to keep up at times to get these shots. The bond between mom and baby orcas is so nice to watch even from above. Date: 27 February 2026 #dronephotography #whalephotography #orcas #earthcapture #marinelife

Never a dull moment spending time with these extraordinary animals! The stars aligned that day and gifted us a very special encounter. More than 20 orcas cruising, playing and hunting for hours. Seeing them interact with themselves and how coordinated they hunt truly shows their level of intelligence. We must protect them at all costs!
