Watch these swimmers on Hahei Beach, New Zealand flee from a killer whale, aka an orca, last weekend. "You guys are idiots," says the cameraperson. Killer whales don't attack people in the wild. From the New Zealand Herald:
"They came in very close, about 10 metres from shore," (said Gary Hinds, chairman of the Hot Water Beach Lifeguard.)
It's a sight locals see about once to twice a season.
"They come in to feed on stingrays and stuff like that," Mr Hinds said.
"Some people don't see them, but the ones who do are in awe of seeing these orcas so close into the shore."
Surf lifesavers kept an eye on the situation to ensure people kept a safe distance and didn't get into trouble going out to look.
