Did you know orcas are the only animals known to hunt great white sharks - and win? The killer whale is the ocean's most powerful predator, a creature of extraordinary intelligence, fierce family loyalty, and breathtaking hunting skill. Now your child can discover the full, astonishing story.
Inside this book, kids will discover:
- Why orcas are called killer whales - and how they take down prey as large as blue whales through coordinated team hunting
- How every orca pod has its own unique dialect - a family language passed down through generations
- What makes the intentional beach hunt one of the most daring moves in the natural world - and how mothers teach their calves to master it
- How the orca's rounded forehead works as a biological sonar device of remarkable precision
- Where orcas live worldwide - and why different populations have completely different hunting cultures
- How grandmother orcas use decades of knowledge to help their families survive difficult years
- What threatens orcas today - and what kids can do to help protect them
