They are distributed throughout the world's oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. Orcas are apex predators, at the top of the food chain, with no natural predators. They are highly intelligent, versatile hunters whose diet includes fish, seals, and sometimes whales. Orcas have complex social structures and are often studied for their sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal behaviors, which are believed to be learned cultural behaviors passed across generations.
