Killer Whale

The orca or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. It is recognizable by its black-and-white patterned body. A cosmopolitan species, orcas can be found in all of the world's oceans in a variety of marine environments, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. At the top of the food chain, they consume a wide variety of foods, including fish, penguins, and marine mammals like seals, sea lions, and even whales. Their teeth can grow to a length of four inches. They have a reputation for grabbing seals from the ice. They also consume seabirds, fish, and squid.

Their unmistakable black-and-white appearance makes them easy to identify. Orcas are intelligent and gregarious animals that communicate through a wide range of sounds. Each pod has recognizable noises that its members can identify from a distance. When they approach items, they make sounds that travel underwater and bounce back, exposing the objects' location, size, and shape. This is how they communicate and hunt.
