Now this is really beautiful if more than a bit heart-stopping. In the incredible video below shot from above by a drone off the coast of New Zealand, you can see a trio of curious orcas (aka killer whales) closely follow a lone swimmer near to shore.

The group of orcas (also known as a pod), seems to have fun trailing and nearly grazing the swimmer as she freestyle swims along the beach.

Yes, this video is beautiful but, if you knew anything about orcas (or even watched the video), you’d realize it’s not “terrifying” at all. There has never been a recorded instance of an orca (they aren’t called “killer whales” anymore) in the wild killing a human being. I’ve been scuba diving with them and it is an amazing experience.
