Orca - Killer whale

[BorneanTiger]

Here are some interesting things that I've noticed:

1) Orcas can be white:

2) In early November 2019, a pod of orcas were seen chasing a great white shark, with some other sharks being nearby. One of the other sharks was apparently 'unnerved' by the presence of orcas, while another did not appear to be 'perturbed', according to Oceans Research: https://www.sciencealert.com/watch-orcas...g-predator

3) A pod of what were thought to be Eastern Tropical Pacific orcas, which were thought to number at least 10, were seen attacking 20–30 dolphinsoff the coast of San Clemente, California, on the 29th of July, 2019. After the dolphins stampeded in one direction, the orcas surrounded them, separated an adult from its calf, and one of them caught the calf in its mouth, thus killing it. Despite being much smaller than the orcas, the mother dolphin had unsuccessfully tried to save its calf, and then retaliated against the orcas by circling them: https://www.ocregister.com/2019/07/30/vi...-clemente/
