Killer Whales By Abby S

Orcas or Killer whales are about 23 to 32 feet in length (when their adults.) They have black and white markings. They also have large Dorsel fins ranging from 3 to 6 feet. Killer whales eat fish. They will also feed on small mammals and birds. They travel in pods, but some travel alone or in small groups of 2 to 7 whales. Killer whales are in the dolphin family. Some people mistaken orcas for whales because of their name. Male orcas can live 30 to 60 years, females can live 60 to 80 years. After orcas die sharks and other animals eat their carcuss.
