About 15-20 minutes underwater and it has to go back up to get air
The Killer Whale is the fastest mammal in the seas. It can swim up to thirty five miles per hour. While swimming rapidly it can often make leaps forty feet long , rising four feet above the water. The Killer Whale is capable of diving to depths of over 1000 feet and it is able to remain beneath the surface for as much as twenty minutes.
Killer whales can hold their breath upto 15 minutes by slowing down their beats from 60 beats to 30 beats per minute while diving.

∙ 8y agoKiller whales don't breath underwater. They hold their breath underwater and breath air through their blowhole, which is like their nose on top of their head. They mostly stay underwater for 3 to 8 minutes. However, longer periods of up to 30 minutes have been recorded.

If a killer whale and a hippo were in a fight who would win?
The killer whale would clearly win the fight with little difficulty. The killer whale is the ultimate predator and there is absolutely nothing discovered that could hold its own with a killer whale in a battle in the ocean. In San Francisco, a killer whale just grabbed a great white shark and swam with it in its mouth and knew that if it held the shark upside-down, then tonic immobility would kick in and the shark would become in a trance, unable to move or breathe. Groups of killer whales attack even the largest whales on the planet, including blue whales, which can reach over 100 feet long, and sperm whales, toothed predators that can be over 60 feet long. The killer whale would easily find a way to hold the hippo so that the hippo would drown, just as it learns to tonically immobilize sharks, and even hunt string rays, sharks, and larger whales. In addition to the cunning, the force of a killer whale would dominate the hippo as well. An average killer whale reaches about 25 feet, while the hippo is about ten feet less. An average hippo weighs 2-3 tons and the average killer whale is about 9. The killer whale can hold its breath longer and can also swim faster. The hippo never stood a chance...
