Killer Whale

Despite its size and common name "Killer Whale", the Orca is, in fact, the largest dolphin, and is more closely related to smaller dolphins than to the 'great' whales. Orca is found in all oceans and seas of the world, from the deepest waters to the coast and was once a common sight in Hervey Bay. More recently, fishermen have reported sighting Orcas near Fraser Island since 1998.
Orcas have a striking color combination: the main color is black, but there is the addition of a grey 'saddle' behind the dorsal, and a brilliant white that covers three areas. The head is rounded, with an indistinct beak, inside of which are 10-12 pairs of large teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. The male Orcas dorsal fin is a tell-tale giveaway, being as tall as a man and shaped like a huge triangle.
