Orcas, the largest member of the dolphin family, weigh over 12,000 pounds and are instantly recognizable with their distinct monochrome ensemble. Best known for exceptional hunting, this has earned them the title 'killer whale'. However, behind the nickname these mammals have a fascinating array of aptitudes and strategies – such as extreme intelligence, language, familial loyalty, and sheer athletic prowess –  that make them apex predators of the ocean.Information on the Event:

However, even with all these abilities orcas can't outcompete humans. From overfishing, dams, and chemical exposure these magnificent marine mammals face many threats.
