Why do they eat the whales?
The same reason they eat anything else, for sustenance. Both orcas (killer whales) and humans (mainly Inuit and Japanese) have traditionally been predators on whales. Because icy climates have little in the way of plants or vegetables, the native tribes there have traditionally hunted whales, seals, and walrus as a source of food, as well as for their skins, furs, oil, and bone from which to carve tools.
Can you find the reasons why killer whales has been labeled endangered?

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!

Killer whales are not the biggest toothed mammal, that is the sperm whale. Sperm whales eat fish and squid, not killer whales. Killer whales almost never attack the sperm whale.
What is killer whale's enemies?
killer whales or orca's enemy is human beings and that is there only
What threatens the killer whales?
