The Orca, which is often called the killer whale is a toothed whale and seldom seen on whale cruises. This fine specimen was viewed from The Love Boat and was a real treat to see in our waters.
Orcas are the largest member of the dolphin family.
Males average 32 feet in length and females 18 feet in length. As you can see, their dorsal fin is high in the water measuring 5 feet. They are fast swimmers and are also thought to be highly intelligent. Their diet consists of fish, seals and whales.
