Meet the Orca
Killer Whales
The orca, or killer whale, is a highly intelligent and social marine mammal, recognized for its striking black-and-white coloration and complex behaviors. Found in oceans worldwide, orcas live in close-knit pods led by matriarchs, with members communicating through distinct vocalizations. As apex predators, they play a critical role in maintaining marine ecosystem balance, preying on a variety of species depending on their pod's unique hunting culture. With their remarkable intelligence, strong family bonds, and vital ecological role, orcas remain a symbol of oceanic health and biodiversity.
