Yeah I saw it. I always knew dolphins where clever but orca's are cleverer. That old toppie that owned the boat was passionate about them, He was so excited every time they saw them. I loved how he watches from his veranda every morning. I did start to feel sorry for the dolphins though, they stood no chance.

You never know if it was just the way it was edited/narrated but the dolphins didn't really come across better than a sardine in a bait ball on the sardine run, basically dolphins use the same tactics there that the orcas are using against them. Not sure if this specific species of common dolphin does, if so has a certain irony.

..............................The most touching was where the whale "stood" on its tail, head out of the water and on eye level with the Toppie, and looked him straight in the eye, as to say "thank you for saving my life"

I recon the Orca was saying: "Get in the water with me, I dare you, get in the water with me!" and thinking: "Let's see how smart them humans really are, thinking they are at the top of the food chain! Chickens! They're even scared of a little Great White."

.....which makes them quite bright But the holy grail of orca footage would have to be one of them munching a great white, which they're thought to do but no photos to date.

If you watch how they hunt seals, you will quickly realise that Free Willy was a propaganda movie, they are actually Nazi-esque douche bags. 

I have seen a video of them taking a calf from a mother Blue Whale. Killed it played with it and then left it.

And they're not even proper Whales. (Dolphin family). Over compensating I think...
