Killer Whale – 32 mph

Killer Whale, also known as the orca, has a sleek black and white livery and has been recorded to leap out of the water at a speed of 32 miles per hour. Male orcas are larger and more robust than females, and they can grow to be 31 feet long. Males can also be identified in the water by their tall, upright dorsal fins, while females have fins that gradually curve. Unmistakable is the physical coloring, which is black and white.

The killer whale has a broad, rounded head and a big mouth with sharp teeth. It possesses enormous, paddle-like flippers that are proportionately sized to the rest of its body. The killer whale can go into rivers in the wild but prefers the cooler waters just off the coast. From the Arctic Ocean to the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, it is present. Around the equator, in the Pacific Ocean, are other communities. Killer whales can be seen at the Miami Seaquarium, the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium, and Seaworld Orlando.
