Two giant orcas were seen swimming close to a pair of kids in a bay in New Zealand.
The footage, captured a by a local resident on January 27 at Enclosure Bay in Waiheke Island, shows the kids frantically trying to swim away as the killer whales head straight to them.
The massive beasts can be seen swimming past the youngsters and out to sea.
The filmer writes: ''While in Auckland’s Waiheke Island at Enclosure Bay two orca whales entered the bay.
''At first all I saw was a fin in the water and thought a shark had entered the bay. I realised it was a whale and not a shark.
''Everyone got out of the water, however, there were two children in the middle of the bay who must not have heard the call to get out.
''By the time they realised what was going on it was too late, it appeared the whales heard the children calling for help and headed directly for them.
''It was extremely frightening for both onlookers and the children in the water that came face to face with these massive Orcas.''
