&lt;p&gt;A young sea otter narrowly escaped disaster in a stunning moment caught by a nearby boat captain. The otter was being chased by a killer whale.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Decoy Sea Otter Catches Adorable Antics on Camera</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/decoy-sea-otter-catches-adorable-antics-on-camera/</link><pubDate>Sun, 19 Jul 2020 14:43:09 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/decoy-sea-otter-catches-adorable-antics-on-camera/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the best way to go about getting an intimate view of a sea otter? Why you send in a spy! That's right, a decoy sea otter with cameras for eyes. That may sound a bit creepy, but the footage is anything but.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Selfless Volunteers Alerted From Facebook Video Save Helpless Orca Whale</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/selfless-volunteers-alerted-from-facebook-video-save-helpless-orca-whale/</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Mar 2020 21:07:59 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/selfless-volunteers-alerted-from-facebook-video-save-helpless-orca-whale/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Orca whales are one of the most massive and majestic creatures in the ocean. Just like most other aquatic animals, they can quickly find themselves in danger if they come too close to land. This video shows how a few people who work together can save a being in need of help.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Scientists Show That Through the Songs They Sing, Humpback Whales Have Cultures, Just Like Humans</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/scientists-show-that-through-the-songs-they-sing-humpback-whales-have-cultures-just-like-humans/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Oct 2019 06:43:40 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/scientists-show-that-through-the-songs-they-sing-humpback-whales-have-cultures-just-like-humans/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A New Study Shows That Through the Songs They Sing, Humpback Whales Have Cultures, Just Like Humans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although humans are mostly prone to know about sounds we can hear, by now, through the work of marine biologists’, we have grown accustomed to the noise patterns of certain water species, like the dolphins and whales. Due to their specific repetitive sound patterns, lasting anything from 5 to 30 minutes, they are referred to as songs.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Seal Hauled Himself on Their Boat. but Their Hearts Stop When They See This Surrounding Them!</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/a-seal-hauled-himself-on-their-boat-but-their-hearts-stop-when-they-see-this-surrounding-them/</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Mar 2019 21:10:44 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/a-seal-hauled-himself-on-their-boat-but-their-hearts-stop-when-they-see-this-surrounding-them/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The sea is very unpredictable.

It is so magical. One of the most fascinating things about it is probably the sea creatures. Orcas fall on the top of my list of the most beautiful creatures ever. It would be a pleasure watching them live, that’s probably what Louis Jobidon thought when he went solo kayaking near Hornby Island in British Columbia, Canada.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rescuers Find Baby Orca Stuck on the Rocks, Spend Next 8 Hours Saving Her</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/rescuers-find-baby-orca-stuck-on-the-rocks-spend-next-8-hours-saving-her/</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Apr 2018 05:42:44 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/rescuers-find-baby-orca-stuck-on-the-rocks-spend-next-8-hours-saving-her/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Charismatic, handsome, and highly intelligent, killer whales, also known as orcas, hold a special place in the hearts of animal lovers and conservationists. The killer whale earned its name by being one of nature's great "apex predators," swimming at the top of the ocean's food chain. These brainy creatures communicate with each other using a highly sophisticated language, which they can even use to coordinate their hunting activities.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Young Killer Whale Makes Rookie Mistake but a Kind Stranger Is There for Her</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/young-killer-whale-makes-rookie-mistake-kind-stranger/</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jan 2018 09:48:11 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/young-killer-whale-makes-rookie-mistake-kind-stranger/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Killer whales hold a special place in the hearts of animal lovers and conservationists. They're handsome, charismatic, and highly intelligent. So intelligent, in fact, that they can communicate with each other using a sophisticated language, even coordinating their hunting. The killer whale earned its name by being one of nature's champion "apex predators," ruling the waves at the top of the ocean's food chain. Fortunately for us humans, they don't think we're tasty and sometimes they even make friends with us.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rare Seaworld Footage Captures an Orca Doing Shocking Things</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/rare-seaworld-footage-captures-orca-shocking-things/</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 Oct 2017 19:23:25 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/rare-seaworld-footage-captures-orca-shocking-things/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Going to Sea World was for many, a family favorite. Internet wasn't as big then, so meeting these animals up close was more than a biology class. What this park would provide was a unique opportunity to meet a lot of animals that you otherwise would not be able to on your own. We understand that animals are unpredictable and they can sometimes do things that we can find shocking. I remember my first visit to Sea World Park. Everything was great!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Boy Stands Near Water in Bay.

We know that there are things swimming under there – perhaps we see some minnows swimming by, or some crabs. Maybe even a sand shark or two. The really big creatures tend to be further out. But sometimes the big ones come closer to shore than we know. That’s why this video here is so cool.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sweetest Ad From Children's Toy Maker Reminds Us That Orcas Belong in the Ocean Not Captivity</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/sweetest-ad-childrens-toy-maker-shows-seaworld-bad-orcas-captivity/</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Oct 2016 19:41:09 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/sweetest-ad-childrens-toy-maker-shows-seaworld-bad-orcas-captivity/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It’s no secret that SeaWorld is under scrutiny for the way it treats the orcas in its care. The small enclosures given to the animals and their forced performance schedules can wreak havoc on their physical and emotional well-being. One children’s toy company is helping to bring more exposure to the plight of SeaWorld’s orcas, in an incredibly sweet way.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Seaworld's Most Famous Whale Is Dying of a Bacterial Lung Infection, Reports Say</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/seaworlds-famous-whale-dying-bacterial-lung-infection-reports-say/</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Oct 2016 19:31:07 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/seaworlds-famous-whale-dying-bacterial-lung-infection-reports-say/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It’s not all fun and games at Seaworld these days. One of their prized orca whales, Tilikum, has been suffering from bacterial infections that could lead to his death. Beyond Tilikum’s ailing health, however, is the controversy surrounding the orca whales place at Seaworld.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Curious Wild Orca Always Says Hello to the Kayaking Friend He Has Known for Years</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/curious-wild-orca-always-says-hello-kayaking-friend-known-years/</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Oct 2016 19:29:19 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/curious-wild-orca-always-says-hello-kayaking-friend-known-years/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We may not always think of our seafaring friends as being altogether intelligent or social. But many fish, especially orca whales, and far more developed than we give them credit for. The story of friendship between an orca and his kayaker buddy in the video below is proof of that.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Seal Hauled Himself on Their Boat, but Their Hearts Stop When They See This Surrounding Him!</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/seal-hauled-boat-hearts-stop-see-surrounding/</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:18:35 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/seal-hauled-boat-hearts-stop-see-surrounding/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The sea is very unpredictable.

Their nickname isn’t really accurate though as these whales are quite friendly and harmless to most creatures in the sea, and humans as well. They are highly social animals and they travel in groups which can consist of 5 to 30 whales. They are said to be very intelligent and playful, often showing interest in boats that pass by and getting quite close to them. It would be a treat watching them in their natural habitat, and that’s probably what Louis Jobidon thought when he went solo kayaking near Hornby Island in British Columbia, Canada.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>He Spots Something Strange Swimming Towards Them, and Then Had the Best Experience of His Life</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/spots-something-strange-swimming-towards-best-experience-life/</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Aug 2016 15:57:40 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/spots-something-strange-swimming-towards-best-experience-life/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;J.R. Gilkinson was two miles off the shore of Newport Beach in California when he had the chance to experience something exceptional firsthand. According to him, “it was an experience of a 1000 lifetimes.” He and his friends were out at sea hoping to record some footage of a sea lion colony, but none of them could even imagine what was coming for them. Recording a colony of sea lions is pretty exciting by itself, but what happened to J.R. made the experience truly special.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>This Kayaker Got the Shock of His Life When These Fins Came out of the Water!</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/kayaker-got-shock-life-fins-came-water/</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jun 2016 19:21:32 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/kayaker-got-shock-life-fins-came-water/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Humankind has gone to wondrous places and we have discovered remarkable things.
