Factors affecting killer whale populations include prey availability, pollution, habitat loss, climate change, and human disturbance. Overfishing and pollution can reduce prey availability, while contamination from chemicals can impact their health. Habitat loss from coastal development and climate change can also disrupt their feeding and migration patterns. Human disturbances such as noise pollution and boat traffic can cause stress and disrupt their behavior.
Killer whales belong to the phylum Chordata because they possess a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail at some point in their development, which are key characteristics of chordates. These features are present in the early stages of their development, even if they are not as visibly apparent in adult killer whales.
Orcas are the largest member of the dolphin family, an aquatic member of the class Mammalia.
Panthers and killer whales belong to the Animalia kingdom, Chordata phylum, Mammalia class, and Carnivora order. Panthers are in the Felidae family, while killer whales are in the Delphinidae family.
The Killer whale (Orcinus orca) is the toothed whale that belongs to the oceanic dolphin family. They are an apex predator that preys upon Great white sharks as well as Polar bears. NOTHING preys on them, except humans.

Killer whales belong to the phylum Chordata, which includes all vertebrates with a notochord or backbone.
World organizations need to get together to help the Japanese understand that it is in their best interest to save these mammals from extinction for all the world.
No. There are toothed whales and baleen whales. Baleen whales do not have teeth; the baleen is like a strainer that hangs down from the upper part of the mouth and lets the whale catch plankton, shrimp, small squid, and other small sea creatures.
([P.S] Hope I helped you)
Fishes, squids, seals, sea lions, walruses, birds, sea turtles, otters, penguins, cetaceans (both mysticete and odontocete), polar bears, reptiles, and even a moose have all been found in the stomach contents of orcas.
And, as their common name implies, the remains of other orcas have also been found in the stomachs of these "killer whales." It is uncertain why these animals are cannibalistic.
The diets of orcas vary from one region to another. In the Antarctic, orcas eat about 67% fishes, 27% marine mammals and 6% squid. In the Bering Sea near Alaska, they eat about 65% fishes, 20% squids and 15% marine mammals.
A trainer at the Miami Seaquarium described it as " a hard boiled egg".
White. An orca whale's stomach is white, just like that big white patch, which is commonly mistaken for it's eye.
Killer whales, or Orca, are warm blooded like all mammals.
The proper term for a group of whales is a "pod" of whales.
Maybe because penguins live on ice and whales are killers/ they live in water( and penguins hate water) that other animals live, thats why penguins hate walruses!
A real answerSmall cute penguins are a food source for killer whales just like otters, walruses etc.This meas that the whale is trying to call or attract another whale.
I take it you are asking how many whales live in the Atlantic Ocean, and there are about ten thousand. Not as many as there used, to be, because of whaling, but the number is rising as less and less countries kill whales.
You could say you can find great white sharks on any sea (North Sea excluded) surrounding the UK rarely. You will have a happier time looking for great white sharks depending on how close to the Atlantic you are e.g. The Irish coast.
Great white sharks are almost unheard of in the United Kingdoms, it is too cold. Presuming the case is you want to swim, the most fearsome creature within the UK coast is them bloody seagulls.
the whales swim by the mama whale and get feed by her and fights for the baby
