Orca Killer Whales And False Predators

Orca killer whales Killer whales, also known as orcas, are the largest members of the dolphin family and the top predator in their ecosystem. The Orca killer whale is very well known because of their unique colorway. They aren't the biggest in the sea but they are at the top of the food chain which means they are apex predators. The name “killer whale” is because they attack whale calves and whale mothers, in pods. Pods usually consist of five to thirty Orcas to make sure they can get the job done. Orca killer whales are mammals which means that they breath air with their lungs. When they hunt they do it at the surface of the water so if they need a breath they can easily do so. Mammals do not lay eggs they give birth and that is exactly
