Do orcas hibernate or migrate?
The seal migrates in winter, because it does not have a fur coat to keep it warm if it were able to hibernate, therefore the seal would freeze to death trying to hibernate. Plus, the seal needs to go into the water daily to keep its skin hydrated, so it must migrate in winter. It does not hibernate.
Are orcas more powerful than sharks?
Yes, of course orcas are more powerful than sharks. That is one reason why orcas are called killer whales. Orcas are bigger, faster, smarter and stronger than sharks. Sharks are amazing killing machines though, but they are easy meals for orcas to eat!
