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.
