There are at least 50,000 orcas in the oceans today.

Orcas are not whales. They are the only marine mammals that would eat another whale. Orcas are the fastest of marine mammals. Shamu (at sea world oralado) is the most famous marine mammal! ( He is an orca )
No. There are two different types of orcas. Residents eat only fish, transients will eat other marine mammals.
The Larger Orcas have no natural predators. However only the lost calves are at risk from Large sharks. Orcas are highly social animals and protect their young fiercely. Sharks and Orcas avoid each other. However a mother with a calf with ram into the shark's body to severely damage it.
Orcas eat the liver of their prey because it is a nutrient-rich organ that provides them with essential vitamins and minerals needed for their survival.

155 orcas have died in captivity. Curious answer, especially considering the fact that Sea World has only bred 20 whales and that only about 7 of the total whales(captures included) have died. Curious, no?
Only Killer Whales (Orcas) prey on gray whales.
