No. Killer Whales are like wolf packs in ocean, they will hunt large baby blue whale, kill and eat them. Blue Whales don't have teeth like Killer Whales (sometimes referred to as Orcas). Blue Whales staple diet is mainly Krill. "Krill is the common name given to the order Euphausiacea of shrimp-like marine crustaceans."
