Known for their distinctive black and white coloring, these intelligent mammals are highly social, living in matrilineal family pods. Their diet is varied, as some eat fish, while others hunt marine mammals like seals. Orcas are found in all the world's oceans, from the Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. Their cultural significance spans multiple indigenous cultures, where they are often revered as guardians and symbols of strength. This illustration highlights the killer whale's importance and beauty, tying it into broader themes of connection and respect for nature.
