Orca Encounter (Full Show) at SeaWorld San Diego January

And we are so excited to get to share it with all of you here today. As engineers, we spent years building our relationship with whales. This creates trust and allows us to provide optimal healthcare, research, and quality of life. The whales here at SeaWorld tend to be able to take an active role in their own health and well-being through husbandry and medical training. One of the first husbandry behaviors the whales learn is to roll over and possess the underside of their tailbone. This allows our veterinarians to come in once a month and get a blood sample for things that drive along the underside of their tailbone. Both Sukha and Pete demonstrate this behavior right now on stage. Hi! They try and pull the whales by scale and lift their tailpiece completely up and out of the water to get an accurate weight. I'm going to show you a piece of stuff. We can monitor the whales' footage. We also ask the whales to know how to execute powerful behaviors, like jumps up and out of the water for great exercise. In fact, all the behaviors we do today contribute to making sure our whales stay healthy. It is the most important part of our job. And we strive to achieve this through diet, exercise, thoughts of love, and of course, a little bit of play. And our killer whales sure do love to play. We learn what they like and how they enjoy interacting. Not just to progress the talk, but with each one of us as well. Playtime is a great opportunity to create compassion and build our connection. So we hope you enjoy this fun playtime session between the whales and the trainers, demonstrating our incredible connection. We are all just about to see the play. Killer whales will prey on pretty much anything, from fish to marine mammals to great white sharks. Whales prey on marine mammals instead of fish. They rely on fly stuff to hunt. Whales work to eat fish to prey. We will be serving our whale. And these are the great weights that wash over floating blocks of ice. And not only does it help seals and pebbles to witness, but it also helps demonstrate the amount of water it's wasting. I have some very brave new friends here who are going to take on our 55 degree salt water. All right, you two, come on down. You're going to take a seat right there. So you're just going to sit down right there. So this is your iceberg. These are your seals today. It's your job now to get washed away. Now are you guys ready to get wet? I think we need a little bit of encouragement. What do we think, everyone? Awesome. Two of our wonderful working athletes are making their way around the pool. They're going to create more enjoyment. So hold on tight, you guys. A fraction of the skills we have in these killer whales have felt all around the world. They'll reach their soft and flexible furs to communicate with their inhabitants. And they'll use their powerful tail flips to step forward. But today, I've got a feeling these guys just might be stunning all of you instead. And you know what that means. Killer whales are impressive animals. And it's pretty obvious why that means killer whales are invincible, right? Wrong. Killer whales depend on a plentiful food source and a clean environment. They are completely dominant, yet completely dependent. When it comes down to it, killer whales are not the most powerful animal in the ocean. Their future depends on you. Through your actions. Through the choices we all make. The ocean needs our help. And that can seem overwhelming. But together, we can make a change. So much to learn. So much to explore. So much to protect. All it takes is one. One positive act. One rule that can grow and grow and change the world. Together, we've got this.
