*** About Killer Whales: Orcinus orca, commonly known as the killer whale, thrives in the diverse marine environment of the Pacific Northwest. These intelligent and social creatures are at the apex of their ecosystem, primarily feeding on fish and marine mammals. The coastal waters of British Columbia are critical habitats for these whales, providing them with abundant food and complex, acoustic-rich environments essential for communicating and hunting. Conservation efforts in these areas focus on protecting the delicate balance of this ecosystem, ensuring that future generations may also witness the breathtaking beauty of killer whales in the wild.
