Killer whale facts . . . killer whales are fascinating animals. Their scientific name is “Orcinus Orca” and they are commonly referred to as “Orca”. They are toothed whales (unlike most other large whales), and can be found in most of the world’s oceans, from cold arctic and antarctic waters to warm tropical seas.

They are carnivores and eat a wide variety of food, although particular individuals will often specialise in a particular type of food, such as fish, seals or even larger whales. They are social animals and their matriarchal society is the most stable of any animal and can include learning of complex hunting abilities which could be described as a culture.

Some killer-whale populations are under threat currently. Killer whales do not attack people in the wild.
