Orca

The magnificent orca, the world's largest dolphin

Supremely suited to life in the ocean, orca are intelligent and fascinating.  They are known as ‘killer whales’, but this is a superficial description.  Orca are highly intelligent, sentient creatures with intricate social lives and defined culture, communicating with a complex language of calls.  Sadly, orca are under threat, both in the wild from fishing nets and pollution; and in captivity from exploitation by the ‘entertainment’ industry.
