Amazing! That is one of the few reasons I would like to leave the freshwater paradise.

We've got room out here, but as Gary said (he doesn't like the weather)....it's full of showers and rain for another couple weeks. When it's nice though, you can't beat it. As shown in the video it was nice and calm.

Is it ok to swim when them things are around or do you have to be really, really fast?

Orca...AKA...Killer Whale. I believe I'll be staying in the boat.

I was wondering the same thing. I suppose as long as you swim faster than your partner, you would be okay.

Come on out and I'll let you try? I have no idea, but watch it again. The baby one is bigger than we us three are combined. I've heard of stories where divers are swimming with them and don't fear them, but I'll just be respectful and not dive into their living room. These aren't the tame ones at SeaWorld obviously that only know a circular tank and human swimmers since birth.

I'm sure most have seen this but it's worth seeing again. Who is at the top of the food chain in the ocean?
