Question

Did you know? Orcas — "killer whales" — are actually large dolphins, not whales. They have different dialects per pod (family). Some populations eat ONLY sharks, others only tuna — that's not biology but culture, passed from mother to calf. There are no documented cases of orcas attacking humans in the wild.
