*.Killer whales use echolocation to communicate
and hunt, making sounds that travel underwater
until they encounter objects, then bounce back,
revealing their location, size, and shape. They can
even identify species of fish by their echo!

This is hard to believe. How possible??

The killer whale is the world’s biggest dolphin.

*.A large male killer whale can eat up to 220 pounds (100kg) of a food a day, the equivalent of four seal pups or 400 herring.

*.Killer whales will hunt fish, squid, birds, stingrays, sea otters and even other whales.

*.Killer whales have anywhere from 40 to 56 interlocking teeth – each one around three inches long. They’re conical shaped and used for ripping and tearing, but not for chewing. Orcas eat their food in chunks or entirely whole.

*.They grow to an average of 19 feet (5.8 meters) in length, though specimens exceeding 30 feet (9 meters) and weighing up to 22,000 pounds (10,000 kilograms) have been recorded.

*.Killer whales can swim at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometres per hour).

*.Killer whales can live for an average of 50 to 80 years.

*.The name ‘killer whale’ actually comes from Spanish whale hunters in the 1700s. They called killer whales ‘ killers of whales.’ Eventually this was transposed to killer whale.

*.Killer whales hunt in cooperative family groups (of up to 40 whales) called pods. For this reason they are also known as the “wolves of the seas.”

*.They use their heads and tails to strike prey and knock them out.

*.Killer whales are extremely intelligent, well-organized highly social animals. Their family groups are considered one of the most stable social structures of any of the animal species.

*.Killer whales use echolocation to communicate and hunt, making sounds that travel underwater until they encounter objects, then bounce back, revealing their location, size, and shape. They can even identify species of fish by their echo!

*.In Patagonia, Argentina, killer whales intentionally beach themselves temporarily to hunt seal lion and seal pups.

*.The brain of a killer whale can weigh up to as much as 15 pounds (7 kg). That’s about five times heavier than the average human’s, making it one of the biggest brains on the planet.

Sorry but killer whales ARE NOT DOLPHINS, they may be related but they are two different species entirely. The are related the same way as a lion and a tiger, they are very different
MODIFIDED: Orcas are dolphins, i actually mistook the dolphin family as a specie my bad..

So killer whales are actually dolphins. Nice to know.
Killer Whales are the biggest members of the Dolphin family and smaller member of the whale family. They're both dolphins and whales.
Re: Killer Whales Top FACTS!!! by idealsico(m): 4:55pm On Nov 15, 2014
There's this species I see at sea depth of 40 meters. Occationally, they 'fly' into air, displaying their massive size. I learnt they do not attack humans. Nobody has fallen into the sea to prove a common believe that whales rescue drowning victims rather than devour them.
