Killer whales

Killer whales, computer artwork. Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are large predatory dolphins that are found in seas all over the world except for the extreme polar regions. A killer whale may reach a length of over nine metres, although the female is usually smaller. The dorsal fin of the male may be almost two metres in height. This marine mammal lives in groups of between two and forty individuals, hunting a wide variety of prey, including seals, fish, penguins, whales and other dolphins. It rarely, if ever, attacks humans. It has no natural predators

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of killer whales, also known as Orcinus orca. Created through computer artwork, it vividly portrays these large predatory dolphins in their natural habitat. Killer whales can be found in seas all around the world, excluding the extreme polar regions. Measuring over nine meters in length, with males boasting dorsal fins reaching almost two meters in height, these marine mammals are truly awe-inspiring. They live and hunt together in groups ranging from two to forty individuals. Their diet consists of a diverse range of prey including seals, fish, penguins, other dolphins, and even larger creatures like whales. Despite their fearsome reputation as predators of the sea, killer whales rarely pose a threat to humans. With no natural predators themselves, they reign supreme at the top of the oceanic food chain. The vibrant blue hues of this underwater scene add an enchanting touch to this illustration's realism. It serves as a reminder that our planet is home to remarkable creatures like these three killer whales swimming gracefully beneath the surface. This stunning piece by Science Photo Library captures not only the biological essence but also conveys a sense of wonder for nature's incredible creations.
