The Orca:

Also known as: Orcinus Orca (scientifically), Killer whales.

Family group: Cetaceans (from the dolphin family!)

Lifespan: M - (30-50 years), F - (50-90)

Weight: M - (6000 kg) F - (3000 - 4000 kg)

Length: M - (27 feet > 8.2 meters), F - (23 feet > 7 meters)

★ Orcas are indeed dolphins! And dolphins are actually just smaller species of whales! So they’re all whales, in a way! (Thank you @felineflock for the correction 🥹) They're the biggest dolphin species too :)

★ There are two types of Orcas with many difference that I will about in another post I will link when finished: Transient and Resident.

★ Orcas have a different duet depending on which type it is- for example, Resident orcas have a diet that consists exclusively of a type of salmon: the Chinook salmon! (Also known as King salmon), while Transient orcas tend to eat all sorts of mammals! (Seals, rays, baby whales...)

★Transient and Resident Orcas have a different morphology I will talk about in another post!

★ Orcas are found in every sea and ocean in the world :)

★ For Resident orcas, dialect is proper to their own pod. For Transient orcas, the dialect and language is the same as other Transient orcas from different pods.

★ Resident orcas tend to have larger groups due to their pods being based on socialization, smaller groups often joining the pod, while Transient orca 'pods' are most of the time just a mother and her offspring (other poss can also join them the time of a hunt and then quickly go their separate ways!)

★ An orca, male or female will stay with their mother until the end of their life (or the mother's)

★The way orcas sleep is very special!; like all dolphins, orcas will turn half of their brain 'off' for it to rest, keeping the other awake to stay safe and alert. The two sides of their brain take turns sleeping :)

that was it for the sea animal of the week!:) if there is a specific animal you'd like to see, feel free to ask in my ask box!:D OR you can also info dump if I made a mistake or have your own facts you want to share! Reblogs are appreciated ^_^

Shishi out!⭐
