Killer Whales, also known as Orcas, are the largest species of the dolphin family, belonging to the Oceanic Dolphins subfamily. They are highly intelligent and social animals, living in complex matriarchal groups called pods. Killer Whales are cosmopolitan, found in all oceans, from arctic to tropical waters. They have a distinctive black and white coloration pattern, with a large dorsal fin, which is prominent in males. Killer Whales are apex predators, feeding on various marine life, including fish, seals, and even large whales. Their diet varies depending on their location and the availability of prey. They are known for their impressive hunting techniques and cooperative behavior while hunting. Killer Whales communicate using a series of clicks, whistles, and body movements, creating a unique culture within each pod that is passed down through generations.
