The white streaks on their body help them hide and attack their prey

Scientists believe that the color streaks on the body of killer whales can help them evade and attack prey. Their backs are black and their bellies white. When other animals look down on this powerful predator from above, they look like a sea dog standing on an iceberg. They may not even be recognized because the whale's black back is intertwined with the water below.

Killer whales are the top carnivores, meaning they themselves have no enemies in the wild. They can eat small fish, but can also eat baby whales and great white sharks, which are the most aggressive fish in the ocean.

On the other hand, the killer whale's white underbelly mixes with the light falling from the sea surface and this makes it even more difficult for other animals to recognize them. This ingenious camouflage means that prey such as fish, penguins and seals will ignore the lurking danger and continue on their way, then these ill-fated animals will become Killer Whale's meal at any time.
