Orcas Majestic animals in the sea, mini documentary

Orcas, also known as killer whales, are among the most fascinating and intelligent creatures in the oceans. As the largest members of the dolphin family, they dominate the marine food webs as apex predators and are found in all the world's oceans - from icy polar waters to tropical coasts. With their striking black and white colouring, their social complexity and their impressive hunting strategies, they have made a deep impression on human culture and science.
Orcas reach a length of up to 9 metres and a weight of up to 10 tonnes. Their characteristic dorsal fin, up to 1.8 metres high in males, serves as an individual distinguishing feature. They live in stable family groups, known as pods, which are led by matriarchal leaders. These social structures are uniquely complex: individuals communicate through their own dialects, share knowledge about hunting techniques and maintain lifelong bonds.
Their diet is specialised depending on the population. A distinction is made between ecotypes: ‘resident’ orcas mainly hunt fish (e.g. salmon), ‘transient’ groups favour marine mammals such as seals or whales, and ‘offshore’ orcas feed on sharks or rays. Their coordinated hunting methods are spectacular - such as creating waves to flush seals from ice floes or ‘carousel fishing’, in which they discipline schools of fish with air bubbles.
Orcas have one of the largest brains in the animal kingdom and display amazing cognitive abilities. They use tools, solve problems and pass on knowledge learnt over generations. Their communication includes clicks for echolocation, whistles for social interaction and complex songs that vary depending on the pod. Studies even suggest an awareness of emotions and self-awareness, similar to that of humans and apes.
In indigenous cultures, such as the Inuit or the North American coastal peoples, orcas are regarded as spiritual beings - mediators between humans and the sea, sometimes as the embodiment of deceased ancestors. Orcas can also be seen in many films and nature series. Have you ever seen an orca? I would really appreciate a like and a subscription.

I am constantly creating videos about mythical creatures and general facts about animals.
