***About Orcas

***: Orcas, also known as killer whales, are highly intelligent and social marine mammals that belong to the dolphin family. Recognizable by their distinctive black and white coloring, orcas are found in oceans worldwide, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. Orcas are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain and have no natural predators. They feed on a variety of prey, including fish, seals, and sometimes even other whales. Socially, they live in complex and cohesive family groups called pods. These pods have unique vocal behaviors and hunting techniques that are passed down through generations, indicating a rich cultural heritage.
