Unbelievably Fortunate: Kayaker Encounters Orcas in Southern New Zealand [VIDEO]

In the middle of nature, on earth, in the air or at sea, you will certainly have the opportunity to meet wild animals. Small or large, frightening or not, dangerous or not, these animals encountered in their natural habitat generate sometimes unique moments in a life. Recently, a tiktokeur shared his meeting with a group of orcas and he said to himself “incredibly lucky”.

“” “During one of my direct, I felt a little bad, the conditions deteriorated and I had not taken fish”He explained to the New Zealand media Stuff. Until the moment when, from nowhere, orcas approached him.

If the replay of Live is no longer available, he still posted a video of this incredible meeting with orcas in the open sea. Even if he seems very happy as to this meeting, we believe? Hearing a bit of fear when he notices that an orca passes several times under his little boat.

A meeting with unforgettable orcas for the fisherman who declared to the New Zealand media that he was “Incredibly lucky to share this moment with hundreds of people around the world”.

Is it dangerous to kayak alongside killer whales?

Eddy O'Hare surely lived the experience of a life, but did he endanger himself during this meeting with this group of Orcas?

Indeed, the sea is not an environment in which man can really be comfortable. Even more when you know all the marine species hiding there. However, all the species that live in the water, as large as they are, do not necessarily represent a danger to humans.

The example of the blue whale is an excellent one. Well, it seems that for orcas, it is the same thing. Although their nickname evokes an imminent danger, orca attacks towards man surrounded by nature are rare, even if some cases have been identified, especially against small pleasure boats.

Of course, orcas, whether in the middle of nature or unfortunately sometimes locked up in aquatic centers, remain wild animals of which it is impossible to predict their behavior 100%. Thus, it is always preferable to take your precautions and to avoid, for example, to go to sea on its own on a very small boat as Eddy O'Hare did.

An experience of a life with orcas or any other wild animal is worth living if it can be told later.
