Swimming Dog Faces Killer Whales



A free diver was on his way back to shore when he found himself surrounded by four Orcas.  The man quickly got out onto the rocks, but a Labrador Retriever that was retrieving sticks from the water was not quite as quick.

The dog eventually saw the whale and turned around and swam back to shore with the Orca following in as far as it could go.

It should be said that this may look a little more dangerous for the dog than it actually was.

Orcas in New Zealand are fish-eaters, and mostly seem to feed on bottom-dwelling rays and skates.

While some Orcas in other parts of the world feed on seals, sea lions and even small whales, the New Zealand Orcas appear to be pure fish-eaters.
