“Incredibly close-up footage of orcas playing, learning to hunt, practising, and making their kills, brings them to life as never before”They don’t call them killer whales for nothing. Throughout every ocean on earth, killer whales are the masters of the sea. Like wolves on land, these fearsome predators often hunt in packs, working together to snare their next meal.
Do they really launch themselves onto the shore to grab a hapless snack? See for yourself, and gain a vivid appreciation for their appetites and skills.
While your jaw drops at their fearsome agility, you’ll also be learning about their migratory and other behaviours from scientists who observe them daily and strive to increase our understanding of their needs for survival.
In this National Geographic ‘Wildlife Special’ you’ll journey around the globe to see their extraordinary hunting techniques in action.
· Plunge beneath the waves to watch the whales round up schools of herring, which they stun with flicks of their powerful tails.
· Discover the whales ‘playing with their food’ - tossing their prey around in a frenzied game that hones their hunting skills.
· Witness the amazing spectacle of these huge whales hurling themselves onto the beach to snatch their unsuspecting prey.
Forget ‘Free Willy’. Orca’s may not be as cute and cuddly as you once thought, but thanks to National Geographic, they will certainly earn your respect.
You will gain a new appreciation for these magnificent creatures as you come face-to-face with Killer Whales: Wolves Of The Sea.

Reviews:
“This is probably one of the best Killer Whale documentaries around. It concentrates on discussing the orca’s social grouping, vocalization and its hunting techniques. What makes this film great is the excellent footage of the killer whale’s hunt. The truly awesome sight of the massive 30 feet whale lunging onto a beach to grab a seal has to be seen to be believed.”
“This is a brilliant documentary capturing the breath-taking killer whale in all its glory. The whale’s hunt for salmon and seals around the world is captured by awesome cinematography. Furthermore, the film goes into detail discussing the whale’s social grouping and its intelligence. In short, this is a must-have for killer whale lovers and anyone else interested in nature.”
“I bought this documentary for myself and my 3-year old boy, who loves to watch any sort of sea-life! There are lots of scenes of killer whales, all clear and in terrific colour. In addition to images of the whales, there are many other scenes of various other sea-life. My son and I highly recommend this film!”
