How many miles deep do killer whales live?

Killer Whales (Orca) spend most of their time in the top 20 meters of water, occasionally diving as deep as 200 meters to hunt bottom-dwelling fish. There is one report of an Orca becoming tangled in a cable at over 1000 meters, so clearly they can dive deeper if they want or need to. The question is why they would want to. Killer whales live on animals that generally frequent shallow water, such as seals, sea lions and other pinnipeds, and occasionally large fish. They sleep and breed in shallow water as well.


What to eskimos use to hunt whales?

Yes most of them do but if you go to my message board and tell me if you want me to link a good website i will. =) hope i could help. Incorrect. Some Eskimos may very well hunt whales, but to say most of them do is incorrect. Whale hunting has fallen in popularity and is governed by international laws making it very hard to hunt whales for a living. What % of the population of Eskimos hunt whales I do not know, but I do know that to say most of them is not correct. CORRECT. most eskimos hunt whales along with seals, fish, polar bears and other animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What are some of the recent news headlines regarding whaling?

Some people want to hunt whales for the various things that they can get out of them. Other people know that if they are hunted they will become extinct. The people that want to hunt them use excuses (that do not apply) for the reasons to hunt them, while all the while are only hunting them for the money. That is the issue-money. Most people would not hunt something to extinction just for money. Because whale meat is highly priced.): Mia&Trikahn waas heree TwoThousand&Ten

How are killer whales the cause of the sea otter decline?

I wonder who told you that, in natural habitats, predators (killer whales) prevent overpopulation of their prey (sea otters). If you want to point fingers at the cause of the sea otter decline, point at hunters and poachers, because of them, many species have become endangered or extinct.


What is the difference between a killer whale and whale?

They are actually completely different. Killer whales are black, white, and have a bit of gray behind their dorsal fin. Beluga whales are completely white, but some certain whales can have some light gray under their eyes. Also, Belugas don't even have Dorsal fins. They have a clean, staight back.


Why are killer whales called killer whales?

I think it is a variation of "Killer of Whales"Killer whales are one of the top predators in the sea. They tend to eat almost anything that they come across, their diet depending on exactly what is living in their home waters. They are known to eat fish, squid, seals, sea lions, penguins, and even other whales, such as sperm whales. There are no reports of whale attacks on humans in the wild, although some have be known to happen in captive situations. Their ability to take on almost any prey, regardless of size, has earned these creatures both a fearsome reputation and a fearful name.You can thank the Greeks and the Romans for the name Orca, and the early Spanish sailors for the term Killer Whale.Ancient Romans originally applied the name Orca to these animals, possibly borrowing it from the Greek opue.One other thing, they are not really whales, but a type of dolphin.Orcas are called killer whales due to the fact that they are the top predator in the ocean. They are the hunters, not the hunted. They eat almost anything and everything they can find including other whales.because fisherman and sailors would call these whales killer(s) (of) whale(s). That is how it got the name killer whale
