Are killer whales sharks or dolphins?
Killer whales are not sharks. Sharks are fish and have gills whereas a killer whale is a cetacean or a sea mammal and comes to the surface to breath air like us another thing is a shark moves its tail from side to side whereas a killer whale moves its tail up and down last of all sharks are coldblooded and killer whales are warm-blooded. Killer whales are actually dolphins and is the largest member of the family delphinidae a family of oceanic dolphins. One mistake people make about the killer whale is they say it is a whale because in its name is the word whale. But the killer whale is actually a dolphin the reason it is called a killer whale is because it has been seen hunting and killing whales.

What are the enemies of killer whales?
Young Killer Whales are theoretically hunted by large sharks, although this is considered unlikely and has never been witnessed. As adults, it is theorized that Great White Sharks may try to "sneak-attack" stray adult specimens. This, again, is theoretical, as it has never been witnessed, and Killer Whale almost never 'stray' from their family pods. Killer Whales are also far larger then even a very large Great White's normal prey size.Additionally, Killer Whales are hunted by Man in Japan, Argentina, and Norway, though this is sporadic.The killer whale's enemy is man. If it isn't our pollution that kills them, it is whaling.Another sad fact is that whales kept in theme parks, sometimes live in squalid conditions for our entertainment. All for mans selfish need to make money.
