Are Orcas and Killer Whales the same?

Answer 1

not at all but there are two diffrent species of orca/killer whale what ever u wanna call em. anyways one eats fish and the other eats seals, other whales and other marine mamals

true but an orca has a very much difference between a killer whale. A killer whale belongs to the oceanic dolphin. A orca is common like a blackfish.
there is no difference between Killer Whales and Orcas...they are the same animal...just they have different names... Orca (i believe) if their scientific name... they got their other name..Killer Whale...because they are known to be wild and mean in the wild... (NOTE: THEY ARE NOT MEAN they just want to eat...so don't toch their seals!!!)
Theres no difference, it's just that the orca name was given to the killer whales because people might think orcas are "killers". ORCA is the scientific term for Killer Whales.
there is no difference they are the same the real name is an orca but scientist say that they call them killer whales because they kill other whales

Answer 2

Narwhals and Orcas differ in their family membership. Both belong to the cetaceous mammalian suborder of toothed whales. But Orcas are members of the Delphinidae family of dolphins. Narwhals are members of the Monodontidae family of one-toothed whales. Additionally, they differ in the roles in the food chain. Orcas are narwhal predators, and narwhal are Orca prey.
