Killer whales




3 populations, genetically distinct: Pelagic, transient, sedentary. The later, photographed here, are hyper social, they form family pods and superpods in the late summer and eat fish. The transient orcas feast on sealions (and whale tongue...they discard the rest). The pelagic killer whales represent more of a mystery, although they have been found with shark bites.
