Killer whales or "Orca" are a subspecies of dolphins and tend to roam in loose groups called "pods." These groups can range from 3 to 50 Orca, but they roam very lose-like and aren't what I would call a group but more of an area or habitat where they reside.

What do killer whales do all day?

Pods There is not just one killer whale but a whole pod of killer whales. A pod is a group of closely related whales. A pod is formed when a female killer whale gives birth to a baby. Which means that the oldest female is the leader because all the other members are her children and her children's children. A pod is made up of 4 to 40 killer whales. Another pod is called a super pod. The super pod can have up to 150 killer whales in it. The pods are spread out and swim at a steady pace. The super pods usually split up into smaller groups of closely related pods or clans. Killer whales stay in a pod to protect the young and to help with hunting. These pods usually develop their own languages.

What can eat a killer whale?

Killer Whales are at the very VERY VERY TOP of the food chain in the ocean. Even the Great White shark and Blue Whales would stay clear of this animal. Until we discover something greater in the ocean, it is fair to say that nothing WILL eat a Killer Whale. Killer Whales have not been known to kill each other, and humans have not been recorded directly eating the flesh of killer whales (they are usually hunted for their blubber, which is used in making oil, not eating). But regardless of that, Humans and Killer Whales COULD eat killer whales. You could go further and say sharks could eat baby killer whales (although its unlikely because youngsters are carefully guarded by their parents), or even other giant animal like Polar Bears and Leopard Seals... Any carnivore CAN EAT a killer whale, its just a matter of killing it fist!
