#orca whales

[writerbeemedina]

Hi I would really like to see a mermaid society modeled after orcas, please. 👉🏼👈🏼

• Matriarchal, led by oldest wisest female who raised other children in the pod

• Knowledge of their exclusive hunting techniques and hunting territories passed onto each generation

• Nomadic

• Often kills other sea creatures just for the thrill of it

• Strong emotional bonds

Thank you. You’re welcome.

Hi! Any cool facts about orcas

Hello my friend! Of course!

The name killer whale derives from their original name ‘whale killers’ given to them by sailors who saw them hunting whales. Over time, the name eventually switched around.  The name ‘orca‘ comes from their Latin species name Orcinus orca, where orcinus translates to mean ‘Kingdom of the dead’.

Since moose dive up to 6 meters (~20 ft) to find aquatic vegetation to eat, Orcas have become one of their natural predators.

While their name suggests that they come from the whale family, they are actually the largest of the dolphin family. The real question however, is do they share the same freakish behaviors some dolphins exhibit?

Facts of the Day: 🌊Orcas🌊

Scientific Name: Ocrinus Orca

Length: Up to 31 feet, 32 feet long is the largest on record

Weight: 8,000 to 16,000 lbs on average, largest on record is 22,000 lbs

Lifespan: 50 to 90 years in the wild

Reproduction: Orcas reproduce every 3 to 10 years, giving birth to a single calf after a gestation period of 15 to 18 months. The calves will nurse exclusively for at least a year but will remain close to the mother for the first two years of their life. 

Diet: Herring, schooling fish, minke whales, seals, sea lions, arctic toothfish, stingrays and even sharks

Habitat: They are found in oceans worldwide, however they are most abundant in colder waters like Antarctica, Norway, and Alaska. They can be found in tropical and subtropical waters as well.

Status: Endangered

Summary: Orcas are actually a species of dolphin, the largest of all dolphins. The reason they were initially referred to as killer whales were due to their large size and due to the fact they may feast on whales. However, they utilize their large size well, as they can swim at speeds up to 34 mph. One of the most notable things about Orcas is how intelligent they are. They’re exceedingly skilled hunters, known to beach themselves to drive sea lions into the water, only to slide back into the water to hunt the sea lions with the rest of their pod. They have also been known to deliberately cause large waves to throw their prey into the water, where they are easier to hunt. Their intelligence is also notable due to the fact that they have a skill rarely found in other animals besides humans, which is that they have a culture! Scientists have been able to prove that each pod of Orcas has a distinct dialect and a pattern of learned behaviors that they teach to the new babies of the pod and pass down through generations.

Day 5. Antarctica's Laurel & Hardy.

Saturday, December 23, 2023. Debora Ragland BuerkThe Write StuffLooking at life from a different POV. Antarctica’s Laurel & Hardy. This morning, Larry went on a water expedition by the Zodiac boat. Then he joined me for a less exciting watercraft called a boat—a special operations boat but a boat just the same. Today, we are in Chiriguano Bay, Antarctica. The weather was cold and cloudy, but…

Out of a moment of aching sadness and fury and manic impulsivity, a wizard turns a killer whale trapped in a theme park aquarium into a human so she can smuggle it out of the park and back into the wild.
