How often does a killer whale catch prey?

Answer 1

Killer whales, or orcas, are highly skilled hunters and can catch prey frequently, depending on their social structure, hunting techniques, and the availability of food. In a single hunting session, they may catch several fish or marine mammals, but the frequency of successful hunts can vary based on the species they target and environmental factors. Generally, they are known to hunt daily, especially in pods where cooperative hunting strategies enhance their success rates.
