Killer whales, also known as orcas, have a distinctive black and white pattern that is a type of camouflage called "disruptive coloration". Disruptive coloration is where an animal's color pattern contradicts its body shape. This helps killer whales because in the flickering/filtered light under the sea, other animals may not recognize it as a potential predator.
