Killer Whales are popular animals, but their population is declining. They are in the dolphin family and have some similar qualities. Their population is unknown, but has been affected by hunting and disasters, such as oil spills. With more research we can better protect these beautiful creatures.
Conservation efforts are being made but can be difficult. This is because we still don't know a lot about where Killer Whales pend a significant period of their time each year. Without this information, it makes it hard to know what areas to protect. Additional research is underway and hopefully in the future, with more information, we will have better success in protection these beautiful creatures.
Killer Whales are toothed whales and the largest member of the dolphin family. They are highly social and live in groups. Orcas feed on fish, squid, birds, and marine mammals. Like dolphins, orcas use echolocation- bouncing sound off of objects to hunt and use a series of high-pitched clicks to sun prey.
Killer Whales need our help. Efforts need to be made to help their population growth.
