Orcas, also known as killer whales, are large marine mammals belonging to the dolphin family. They are highly intelligent, social animals found in oceans all over the world. Orcas are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain and have no natural predators. They live in close-knit family groups called pods and communicate using a variety of sounds.
