Killer whales, or orcas, exhibit diverse migration and travel patterns that vary by population and region. Some groups, like transient orcas, tend to be more nomadic, following prey such as seals and fish across large distances. Resident orcas, on the other hand, often have specific home ranges and seasonal patterns, returning to the same areas for feeding and socializing. Their migratory behavior can be influenced by factors such as prey availability, environmental conditions, and social structures within pods.
