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.

Who are dolphin predators?

Sharks. From what i know they avoid sharks because of territory and food. I'm sure that sharks will attack a dolphin under the right circumstance. I'd also like to add humans to the list. Humans have probably been the predator of every animal on this earth at one point, and i wouldn't be surprised if a human killed a dolphin. Killer Whales are also dolphins predators. Killer Whales feed on any animal their size or a animal that's smaller than it.


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.
