Pygmy Killer Whale
(Feresa attenuata)

The Pygmy Killer Whale can reach a length of 8.5 feet and weigh
up to 375 pounds. Pods range in size from 15 to 25. Pods often swim
abreast in perfectly coordinated "chorus lines" and, when
alarmed, bunch together to rush away. They are known to avoid boats
and little is known about this species except for data collected
during stranding events. They are very aggressive and evidence suggests
that they prey on other marine mammals in the wild as well as fish
and squid. They can be found in deep warm waters, rarely close to
shore.
