Orcas are apex predators and have a diverse diet. Individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey.
This includes a variety of fish, sharks (including the great white shark), rays, and marine mammals
such as
seals, other species of dolphin, and whales.
They are highly social; some populations are composed of highly stable
matrilineal family groups (pods). Their
sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal behaviors, which are
often specific to a particular group and passed across generations, have been described as
manifestations of
animal culture.
