Synopsis

Orcas (Orcinus orca) are the largest member of the dolphin family and can be found in almost all oceans worldwide. Orcas are carnivores and eat large prey such as seals, penguins, tuna, and salmon. They live in groups called pods and use echolocation to communicate. Threats to orcas include human activities such as oil drilling, fishing and transport.
