I think the music is from The Prodigy, but not sure. If it’s them, it’s from the ‘Experience’ album or ‘Music for Jilted Generation’, not sure again. But I know I heard this song somewhere else, and I really think it’s The Prodigy…

If penguins had some kind of defense or could all swim faster, then there would just be fewer orca (because more of them would starve) and fewer seals (because the orcas would focus their attention on seals instead of wasting time trying to catch faster penguins). There’d be more penguins so there’d be fewer of whatever critters they eat.
I’m just thankful that penguins are the way they are and have found their proper population balance in nature.

I wish penguins had some kind of self-defense beside “swimming away really fast”, which they don’t even swim that much faster, they’re just really agile compared to their huge enemies.

I’m actually pretty curious about the music. It sounds like some really old skool hardcore. Does anybody happen to recognize the name of it?

If you fell into that water dressed like those people were, unless you were pulled out within 90 seconds, you have a better then 80% chance of dying from hypothermia. That water is probably just a degree or two above freezing and the air temperature is just about the same.

The orca may not have eaten those people but they could have easily flipped the boat over, and that water looked pretty cold.

There’s only been one documented attack of a wild Orca attacking a human.
Those people were in no danger.

cj and Mike, you are both so right. Wow, they really exist? Amazing wildlife video, but wouldn’t that boat kinda look like a Subway Meatball Special?
