*** About Killer Whales: Orcas, or killer whales, are highly intelligent and social marine mammals that belong to the dolphin family. These apex predators are found in all of the world's oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. Orcas are known for their distinctive black and white coloring and their complex social structures, often centered around matrilineal groups. Each group of orcas has its unique dialect of sounds and hunting techniques, which are passed down through generations. Renowned for their prowess as hunters, orcas' diets vary by region and can include fish, seals, and even whales much larger than themselves. Their sophisticated hunting strategies and deep familial bonds make them a subject of fascination and study in marine biology.
