*** About Killer Whale: The killer whale, or orca, is one of the most powerful predators in the ocean. Known for their distinctive black and white coloring and sociable nature, these marine mammals are highly intelligent and adaptable. Orcas reside in diverse marine environments from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. They are highly social creatures, often organized into matrilineal family pods. These characteristics, combined with their striking appearance, make them compelling subjects in both artistic and scientific communities. Orcas have a complex communication system and exhibit behaviors that are considered highly sophisticated, such as cooperative hunting and teaching techniques passed through generations.
