Orcinus orca

Orcinus orca, commonly known as the orca or killer whale, is a large marine mammal belonging to the dolphin family. Recognized by their distinctive black-and-white coloring, orcas are highly intelligent and social animals, often living in tight-knit family groups called pods. They are found in oceans worldwide and are known for their diverse diet, which includes fish, seals, and even whales. Orcas communicate through vocalizations and are skilled hunters, using sophisticated techniques to capture prey. Despite their name, they are not whales but are the largest members of the dolphin family.
