Fight between two of Seaworld’s younger Orcas. This is a suspected form of play just like dogs play fighting however you can see this form of behaviour is the reason behind their rake marks.
No one can confirm wether this is aggression or simply play fighting however similar behaviours can be seen in so many animals such as dogs, monkeys and even humans- especially in younger ones.

Why was Malia trying to rake Makio? Poor Big Mac, I think Malia was trying to establish some dominance lmao😂
Beautiful orcas! I love SeaWorld and what they do to bring up the population, the ocean is not a paradise right now and isn’t free. This is the only place where they won’t get poached or stuck in a fishing net. Thanks for rescuing and caring for these beautiful mammals SeaWorld.
It’s hard to tell if they are raking each other or playing. To be honest I think it’s a but if both. You can kinda tell it’s a bit of raking cause I believe it was Makaio that went after Malia with his mouth open. But this is normal in the wild an captivity.
love orca! boycott SeaWorld !
I just hope the tank is wide enough now..
Omg am I stupid or something? In my earlier comment, I said Lani and Mak, and then I rewatched the video and was like, oh shoot that's Mak and Malia. I totally did not look at the dorsal XD
Malia & Makaio 🙂
Makaio and Malia.
Also. It is very likely that it is Lani and Mak because they are often grouped together 😉
Aw. I love it when they play 🙂
