The Deadliest Whale

The deadliest whale is believed to be the killer whale or the orca (short for its scientific name, Orcinus orca). It is a versatile and very opportunistic predator, hunting in packs for fishes, seals, sea lions and even large whales and sea birds. Additionally, it usually swallows its prey whole.
