Killer Whales
Latin Name: Orcinus orca
Killer Whales
are the largest members of the Dolphin family. They are classified as large toothed Cetaceans. They have a cone-shaped head and streamlined fusiform body. They are incredibly distinct large mammals with black and white markings and a grey saddle patch located behind their dorsal fin. They use their tail (fluke) for propulsion through the water, pectoral fins for direction and steering, and their dorsal fin aids them in stability.
