Orcas, often recognized as the ocean's apex predators, are indeed fascinating marine mammals. While commonly called "killer whales," they are, in fact, the largest members of the dolphin family. These impressive creatures can reach lengths of up to 32 feet, particularly the largest males, and weigh as much as six tons. A notable behavior is "spyhopping," where orcas vertically raise their heads out of the water to observe their surroundings. Their highly sophisticated social structure is another remarkable characteristic; orcas live in incredibly tight-knit family groups known as pods, demonstrating strong bonds and cooperative behaviors essential for their survival and cultural learning.
