*** About Killer Whales: Killer whales, or orcas, are highly social and intelligent marine mammals found in all of the world's oceans. They are known for their distinct black and white coloring and are the largest member of the dolphin family. Orcas live in matrilineal pods, with offspring often staying with their mothers for life. They have diverse diets, but each pod specializes in particular types of prey, including fish, seals, and sometimes whales. Their sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal behaviors, which are specific to each group, underscore their complex social structures and culture.
