Males have strikingly tall dorsal fins—sometimes reaching nearly 2 meters—which make them easy to spot in the water. Despite their size, orcas are swift and agile swimmers, effortlessly covering vast distances across the open ocean. Slow and steady pace of reproduction: Despite their fearsome reputation, orcas take a surprisingly patient approach to reproduction.

Migratory in nature: Orcas are truly global travelers, inhabiting oceans from icy polar waters to warm tropical seas. Some pods remain in the same region year-round, while others roam thousands of kilometers, following seasonal patterns or the movements of prey. This mobility makes them valuable indicators of changes in ocean health. Diets depend on location: Their hunting styles are as diverse as their habitats. In some regions, they specialize in fish such as salmon; in others, they target seals, dolphins, or even other whales. What sets orcas apart is their intelligence and teamwork — using coordinated strategies like wave-hunting or synchronized attacks, with techniques passed down through generations. This transfer of learned behavior forms a rare example of animal culture.
