The orca, the intelligent hunter of the seas.
Killer whales are animals that even scientists are amazed by their intelligence.
They can hunt their prey in more complex and creative ways than other animals. When hunting, they usually go in groups and communicate with each other. They can learn many things.
Their intelligence makes white sharks almost incomparable. Animals that killer whales hunt include fish, seals, sea lions, penguins, sharks, and other whales. In addition, their intelligence makes white sharks, the top predators in the ocean, afraid to get close to them. A team of researchers has confirmed that white sharks have a sea animal that they fear, which is the “Killer whale”. This is because research has found that if a killer whale enters a white shark’s hunting area, the white shark will immediately leave the hunting area and will return only after the hunting season is over.
But while their intelligence and fearsomeness make them fearsome to many ocean creatures, killer whales are rarely attacked by humans when living in the ocean. However, killer whales kept in zoos can become stressed and may attack humans, which can be fatal, as was the case with a female trainer at Sea World in Florida.
