Orca (Killer whale)

Orcas, commonly known as killer whales, are large, powerful marine mammals belonging to the dolphin family. They are easily recognizable by their distinctive black-and-white coloration. Found in oceans worldwide, orcas are highly intelligent and social animals, often living in family groups called pods. They are apex predators, feeding on a diverse diet that includes fish, seals, and even other whale species. Orcas communicate using complex vocalizations and exhibit sophisticated hunting techniques. Their social structure, behavior, and intelligence have fascinated researchers and made them popular in marine entertainment, although there are ongoing debates about their captivity.
