The Orca is also referred to as the Killer Whale and Blackfish. The scientific name of these types of animals is Orcinus orca. The Orca is considered to be among the largest types of animals in the dolphin family. But sometimes, it has been observed that these species are confused as the members of the whale family. These orcas are called as the Killer Whale as because they hunt the whales for food. These types of animals are generally found in all the oceans and the seas that exist in this world.
There are Orca populations that feed on the fishes and some of them hunt for the sharks, marine animals that may include the sea lions, seals, walruses and also the large and powerful whales as well as the Great white sharks. There are different types of animals that are found under this category of Orca species. They range up to the five categories. This distinction of the Orcas may be based on the various factors. These factors may include the factors such as the geographical range, choices and preferences of the prey items and the physical appearance of these types of animals.
Some of the Orcas may belong to the separate races or sub species or even the species themselves. The Orcas are generally found to be the social organisms. Some species among these types of animals may also include the matrilineal family groups that are considered to be the most stable among the species that are present around.
The behavioral traits that are exhibited by the Orcas may include the various features like the hunting techniques, social behavior and the vocal behavior that ultimately make them uniquely identifiable. This makes the Orcas described as the manifestations of culture. Due to the extinction of the species that are used for feeding may be the threat to the orcas as it may lead to the scarcity of food for them.
