Are there any whales that are killer but aren't killer whales?
All whales, dolphins and porpoises eat living prey, whether it's fish, squid or plankton. None are vegetarians. The killer whale (orca) attacks in packs, eats seals, penguins, other whales and looks a lot like a shark with it's big, tall dorsal fin. The killer whale does what other marine mammals do, it just does it in a more aggressive manner. A pack of killer whales is much more scary looking than a pack of bottlenose dolphins even though they are both primary fish eaters. Also, killer whales look like the sort of animal that is capable of killing a human, even though there is no proven evidence that any person has been killed by an orca in the wild.
