Is a killer whale a predator?

Answer 1

All whales are predators, some just do it differently from the tradition view of predation. the baleen whales strain out water to consume krill, fish and other small sealife, while the toothed whales attack larger animals like seals, penguins, giant squid, and younger whales.

Answer 2

Indeed!

Their favourite prey are white seals (but they also snack on penguins and fish)
Yes, killer whales are predators because they hunt and kill other living things!

The orca is a predator and will eat just about any sort of fish :)

Answer 3

No ,a whale is not a top predator. Many whales feed on fish while others feed on tiny plankton, like krill.

Answer 4

Although humpback whales only eat small fish, adults have no predators, which is the definition of an apex predator (a predator, that, during adulthood, is without any predators).

Answer 5

No ... they are herbivores and are predated by killer whales - and people.
