***About Killer Whales

***: Often referred to as orcas, killer whales are one of the ocean's most powerful predators. Known for their distinctive black and white coloring and intelligent social behavior, orcas thrive in family-oriented groups called pods. Their diets vary from fish to marine mammals, including seals and even whales. The bonds between mother orcas and their calves are profoundly strong, with calves often staying with their mothers for life. Orcas do not just inspire awe in marine biologists; they stir the imagination and play a significant role in the cultural lore of many indigenous coastal populations, symbolizing community, family, and ecological awareness.
