new study has found that killer whales may be exploring human behaviour by offering them whole prey and waiting for them to respond.
About Killer whales:
It is also known as Orcas which is found across the world and it is the ocean’s top predator.
It is the largest member of the Delphinidae family, or dolphins and are the most widely distributed of all cetaceans.
Members of this family include all dolphin species, as well as other larger species, such as long-finned pilot whales and short-finned pilot whales, whose common names also contain “whale” instead of “dolphin”.
Behavior: Killer whales are highly social, and most live in social groups called pods (groups of maternally related individuals seen together more than half the time).
Killer whales rely on underwater sound to feed,communicate, and navigate.
Appearance: They are one of the most recognizable marine mammals, with their distinctive black and white bodies.
Habitat: Globally, killer whales occur in a wide range of habitats, in both open seas and coastal waters.
Threats: Killer whales are at high risk of becoming entangled in fishing gear. Also habitat loss is a major concern.
