Killer whales are most often observed as gentle giants of marine aquariums but they are, in fact, the supreme carnivore of the world’s oceans. At sea they are usually seen in "pods" of 5-20, although up to 150 have been seen together at one time.

The killer whale seems to prefer coastal waters and often enters shallow bays, estuaries, and the mouths of rivers. Some populations appear to reside permanently in relatively small areas, but others migrate, probably in association with food supplies.
