These highly intelligent, social whales have developed ways of hunting in groups that are similar to the
hunting methods of wolves and lions. They are fearsome predators that can kill a wide range of animals, such as Blue Whales,
seals, sea turtles, squid, and fish. Fortunately, they do not seem to have a taste for people; there are no records of humans
attacked by Killer Whales.
