Orcas

Orcas are a kind of toothed whale that may be found in all of the world's seas and oceans and are members of the Delphinidae family. These global species are the biggest members of their family and apex predators as well. The "Orcas" is another name for them.

Killer whales can be recognized and distinguished from other dolphins based on their looks. They have two prominent white patches on top, one near each eye, and a black back, a white chest, and white undersides. These whales have unique tastes when it comes to their nutrition and can feed on fish, mammals, sea turtles, seabirds, or cephalopods.


Although orcas do not typically hunt sea turtles, the potential to do so may be growing more and more useful to orcas. Orcas have all the tools necessary to turn a turtle into a tasty meal. Orcas can readily pierce a sea turtle's a hard shell with the help of a set of strong jaws and robust teeth that can be four inches long.

Only a few species of huge sharks, including orcas, crocodiles, jaguars, and crocodiles, have the strength to pierce an adult sea turtle's tough shell. Even an adult sea turtle is low-hanging fruit for these predators because sea turtles have little defenses besides a thick shell.
