Orca (Killer Whale) Orcinus orca


ETP cetaceans


Orca (Killer Whale) Orcinus orca
(right) was only encountered a handful
of times. It must be difficult for these large predatory whales to find
enough food in the tropics, since cetaceans are scattered so far apart.
It is very different in the tropics than in, say, Monterey Bay, where upwelling
concentrates foods and congregates sea-going mammals. I expect that tropical
orcas eat a lot of fish.
