A pod of Killer Whales are usually composed of a family group.
Killer whales communicate by using echolocation. Each pod have a variety of distinctive sounds, which each member will recognise even at a distance as they travel through the water.
A killer whale or orca (the larger term for killer whale) typically favors seals but will eat other fish such as tuna. A killer whale migrates every year so the food quantities and consistency of their meals varies from what location the pod is at.

Pods There is not just one killer whale but a whole pod of killer whales. A pod is a group of closely related whales. A pod is formed when a female killer whale gives birth to a baby. Which means that the oldest female is the leader because all the other members are her children and her children's children. A pod is made up of 4 to 40 killer whales. Another pod is called a super pod. The super pod can have up to 150 killer whales in it. The pods are spread out and swim at a steady pace. The super pods usually split up into smaller groups of closely related pods or clans. Killer whales stay in a pod to protect the young and to help with hunting. These pods usually develop their own languages.
I believe the oldest orca is Granny from J-pod who is currently 99 :)
