Mysterious Orcas Confirmed Alive in New Video | National Geographic ctm magazine
A team of NOAA scientists have, for the first time, found and studied the fabled Type D killer whale alive in the wild. They were first documented in 1955 when more than a dozen unidentified animals were found beached on the coast of New Zealand. Compared with other types of orcas, these killer whales have a more rounded head, a narrower and more pointed dorsal fin, and a small white eyepatch. The orcas were seen off the tip of southern Chile in January 2019. Type D killer whales live in the subantarctic, home to some of the world’s stormiest waters. This inhospitable environment, and the fact that they aren’t usually found near shore, makes them nearly impossible to study. The scientists expect lab results to show that the Type D killer whale is a new species, and the largest undescribed animal left on the planet.

Omg they are so cute n beautiful 😍
May these beautiful Orcas stay wild and free!! No more catching Orcas for theme parks!!
Orcas are the real kings of our oceans.
Hopefully they live they're life in peace and not haunted to extinction. Beautiful and majestic everyone derserve watch these whales alive and not from extinct animals list..
Mother nature takes care of itself despite our ways. Sooooo. Yeah.
The asian will hunt the last of them
i seen you in my dream last night. but it wasn’t you, it was one your kind. i saw my best friend and his brother. my cousin jw. and someone i liked very much, janan.
Keep the chinese away they'll eat anything with a friggin heart beat for Christ's sake! They eat dogs its horrible 🐕🐩🐶
It looks like an orca mated with a beluga
Wow so dope !! Hope we protect them.
If Earth has 25% above water and we havent discovered everything on land, imagine whats out there in the rest of 75% which is water.
well hope they do not extinct soon……
They're gorgeous. 😍
Ok, how are you going to say that's the largest undiscovered species when you haven't seen the other 98% of that ocean lol. The earth is bigger than people make it out to be
Ummmmm ok …..this not special
How fast the really think people read 🤦🏾♂️
Willy’s aged well.
Keep them safe , or else sea world will have a new shamu show
Wish you showed a comparison between the orcas
I hope SeaWorld doesn't see this….
Where did they come from ?
the last? are you sure about that? lmao i dont doubt that theres some other big creatures down there
Their head kinda looks like a sperm whales head, which could mean they r trying to evolve to fit a sperm whales environment. And they have smaller fins/arms lol which also look alike sperm whales. I’m no expert but maybe they like to eat their food in the deep ocean instead of on the surface?
I love orcas, they're just Venom attached to a Dolphin😉
Subartic ugh scary stormy water!
Was it just me or did the story dark water scare you?
Truly amazing creatures, orca whales. Beautiful to look at and impressive to watch. Graceful and intelligent animals.
SeaWorld can't capture these orcas nor Kyogre
Better Sushi!
The music really does it
They are so beautiful .wow
Hybrid killer whale cool
End the inappropriate comments👿😡
Stop saying things like how they taste or a gift for China or they mated with a beluga
Oh and one more thing stop calling them whales!!
Their dolphins
Oh and Elline Nega isn’t the one commenting it’s her son my name is kahanu
Haha
When I saw the thumbnail I thought that the Orca had a really blunt head
My only fave mammals
For those who need prove of speciation and evolution going on…Just look at the Orca's diversification.
Recently founded here in bohol, philippines
THEY ARE SO CHUBBY AND CUTE!!
Bro they looks like an alternate reality version of the orcas we usually see.
if this occurs in orcas, maybe it would too of humans, abet differently? 🤔
I m so HAPPY TO READ THESE COMMENTS…. SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE ORCAS LIKE I DO.
It doesnt look like a type d its spots are a bit bigger and longer i guess we found a type e?
Protect all orcas species at any cost….!!!!
