*** About Killer Whales:

*** Killer whales, or orcas, are highly social, intelligent apex predators found in waters around the globe. Recognized by their striking black and white coloring, these marine mammals are part of the dolphin family. Each pod (group of orcas) uses unique vocalizations, akin to dialects, facilitating complex communication and hunting strategies passed down across generations. Their diet varies by region, population, and season, ranging from fish to marine mammals. Orcas hold great cultural and environmental significance in various indigenous cultures across the Pacific Northwest, often revered in mythology and celebrated for their power and familial bonds.
