Orca

The orca is the largest member of the dolphin family and a versatile predator, which includes in its diet prey such as fish, mollusks, birds, turtles, seals, sharks and larger animals when hunting in groups such as whales . The name "whale-killer" is not the most correct because it is a direct translation of the English "killer whale", and because the animal is not a whale. It is the second largest mammal of geographical distribution - shortly after man - is found in all oceans and can weigh up to nine tons. They have a complex social life, based on the formation and maintenance of extended family groups. They communicate through sounds and usually travel in formations that occasionally appear on the surface. The first description of the species was made by Pliny the Elder, who described it as a fierce maritime monster.
