The orca is a big, beautiful black and white animal that lives in the ocean. Orcas are also called killer whales, but they are actually the biggest members of the dolphin family! They are very smart and like to swim together in family groups called pods.
Orcas have shiny black backs and white bellies. They have a tall fin on their back called a dorsal fin. Every orca has a special gray patch behind its fin that is different from all other orcas.
Orcas eat fish, squid, and other sea animals. They work as a team to find food. Orcas are very clever hunters and can figure out creative ways to catch their meals.
