Its called the eyepatch marking, it helps with its camoflauge and comes in different shapes and sizes to show what type of orca it is (Type A, B or C) and to be recognisable as an individual
An orca is black and white. It has all of the black on the top and on the dorsalfin and the tail and all the white is on the bottom and kind of on the side. They are medium sized just bigger then a car! Please see the related link..
Nothing. Orcas eat everything-they are the top of the food chain!
To caumoflage in deep shades of water. When you look down at a Killer Whale, it looks like the water below (bottom of sea/ocean is dark- top of killer whale is black). When you look up, it looks like the sunlight (sunlight is bright- bottom of orca is white). :D
Purple on the bottom of your eye. A lighter purple in the middle, and white at the top!
No It Isn't Because They Have 4 Predators, And Here They Are: Great White Sharks, Orcas, Other Leopard Seals And Most Of All, Humans.
Orcas are considered apex predators meaning they are at the top of the food chain so besides the threat that humans pose, the orca has no predators.
They are Apex predators at the very top of the food chain. They are only ever preyed on by Orcas and as far as we know that is very rare.
Orcas are sometimes found with great whites in their stomachs and mature great whites will eat the baby ones.Great white sharks are final predators, at the top of their food chain. Only man preys on great white sharks.Orcas have been found with great white up their stomachs.
Definitely not the prey. You see, there are two kinds of deitary habits for orcas: transient orcas, and resident orcas. When people think of orcas, they usually think of the transient subspecies, which prey on other whales and dolphins, seals, birds, and sharks. Residents eat mostly fish, but are still feared through out the ocean and are never the prey. Orcas are top of the marine food chain.
Orcas, also known as killer whales, are a type of whale that are known to eat other types of whales. They are at the top of the food chain and are skilled hunters, preying on various marine animals including smaller whales. This relationship between orcas and whales is an example of predation in the marine ecosystem.
Orcas are apex predators, the top of any food chain they occupy.
They have a white chest and stomach, a large white oval above each eye, the bottom of the tail is white and the top is black, it also has a white pattern above the tail and the rest of the body is black
