Killer Whale eats boy???

It is not real because:
1) Who would be looking for a pencil on a beach in Patagonia
2) Who would be wearing shorts and no shirt in Patagonia
3) Where is the seal that the killer whale was after? (eat both?)

I am reminded of the Snickers ads with the focus group asking the sharks which victim tasted better and they agreed the one who had eaten the Snickers product was much tastier.... :shock:
 
I know it is false. What I wanted to know is what in the video can you see that tells you it is false. Forget the caption at the end of the video, most of us don't speak or read Spanish so forget that part. We know they overlaid two videos, but what can you see that makes it obvious that it is false. They did a decent job but made some obvious mistakes. What are they?

I read an Anchorage Daily News article about 10 years ago about a guy in South East Alaska somewhere (I think the Juneau area) who was wading on the beach and had a killer whale come up and "nudge" him. The speculation was that the Orca thought he was a seal, but aborted its attack when it realized he was not a seal. If you've ever seen real videos of killer Whales hunting seals this way, it's kind of terrifying.
 
No water splashes off his legs as he wades in and the color tone balance between him and the rest of the scene is terrible.
 
The video is most likely false but i have seen enough National Geographic shows about Killer Wales beaching themselves to grab young seal on the Patagonia beaches that it is at least plausible.If someone was dumb enough to wade into the water there during the time of year when the Killer Wales were feeding on seals they would be lunch!


I just watched the video again on You Tube...looks fake! Tug
 
when you go full screen it appears to me that at one point I'm looking at the one whale laying over top of the other, the bottom one has the dorsal fin facing forward (like underneath the top one) ..?? before the boy enters the water the seal is well off to his right, when the boy enters the water the seal is popping out pretty well at his feet .?? you have to stop it quite a few times to catch this, for my 71 year old eyes quite a few times .. lol .. and than i may not be seeing it right .. wc

the one on top is facing seaward with just the arm and shoulder showing the bottom one is parrel to the beach
 
Its not fake! This is a very major problem, especially in the PNW at certain times of the year. I'm sure I have heard from my brother's fiance's father's uncle, of many instances where children are nabbed by passing Orcas, but it is not often in the press because it would reduce the tourist whale watching revenues.
 
1. The boy never would have been able to get that close to the seals and act like they're not there.
2. The killer whale's mouth is not large enough to "swallow" the boy. Larger prey requires the whale to rip chunks off in order to swallow.

Is the prize a new Marinaut???? :xlol
 
You don’t need special software to view the video a frame at a time, if you have Windows Media Player (included in the Windows operating system). When the video starts, stop it, then right click on the video. A popup menu will appear. Move your mouse over Enhancements on the popup menu and another menu will popout. Click on Play speed settings. A window with a speed bar will popup over the video. Click on it and drag it out of the way of the video. There are two arrows under the speed bar. Click on the right one and it will advance the video one frame at a time.

Now tell me what you see.

enhancements !!! can't find that but i did discover if i stop it than click the stop button it moves forward one frame at a time ... I think now the seal pup is toast ... you can see two whales the second one is layed over top, grabs the boy .. getting off the beach their is two tail slaps one is not behind the man-eater .. I'm at that age if I'm not sure what i heard i just fill in the blanks rather than hear it all over again .. I'm starting to do it with video clips .. lol ..
