How does a killer whale protect itself from humans?

Answer 1

The size and speed is what protects the killer whale. These whales travel in pods of 12-14 at once. if a killer whale was alone it could get attacked by a Great White Shark or another species.
Orcas protect themselves by forming pods (groups or schools) to keep safe.

Orcas, a.k.a killer whales, are predators ,and as such it is their predatory nature that protects them. They are strong and fast with big teeth and can fend for themselves. A mother will protect her calf by attacking any intruders, and several mother orcas together would discourage almost any threat.
It doesnt need to, killer whales dont have preditors.

If it did have to protect itself, the great strength of its jaws and teeth would do the job.

Answer 2

Prey is what a predatory animal - like orcas - eat. They have no interest in protecting it from harm.

An orca will sometimes share a suitably sized prey with other members of its pod, or - if it's really hungry - protect it against being eaten by someone else. Easiest way for that is to eat fast. Being free-swimming, an orca can't hide half-eaten prey for later, like land living predators can.

Answer 3

They are apex predators; they have no natural predators and have no need to defend themselves.

Answer 4

Killer whales have fat all around them to keep them warm.

Answer 5

They protect themselves by being themselves. They don't have any predetors, and their only real danger they have right now is us, humans.

Answer 6

there is a pod that protects the orcas

Answer 7

It does not have predators!
