∙ 6y agoThe name 'killer whale' has to do with the fact they kill other whales, not humans. But, if they have an opportunity, they could kill a human too, but they prefer to eat other aquatic species, mainly seals. Also, the preferred term is orca.
That is not true. They don't kill other whale unless necessary, like if they were being attacked or something duh!
Orcas have only ever been responsible for the death of 2 people. Both of which occured in captivity.

∙ 14y agoYes, killer whales have killed humans because in the news this year of 2010 a 22 foot killer whale has killed a 40 year old human. They say that the woman was doing an act of moving her head side by side, and as she went into the water her pony tail drifted and that's when the whale grabbed it and thought it was a toy/game. Its horrible

I know that a killer whale has killed a GIRL in Florida, when she didn't have her hair tied back and it thought she was a seal, so she was grabbed by her hair and pulled underwater, and drowned.

I don't know if any other men have died as a cause of killer whale incidents, but you can look it up on the wikipedia page: Killer whale attacks on humans.

How can Killer Whales hurt Blue Whales?
It's unlikely that killer whales would ever try to attack a blue whale due to the epic difference in size. Orcas would most likely avoid a blue whale and would go after prey smaller than themselves. Basically, I dbout a killer whale could harm a blue whale.
