Description
This is a male orca, killer whale. I took this photo from the deck of the National Geographic Sea Bird while traveling through Southeast Alaska. The killer whale or orca (Orcinus orca) is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as seals and other species of dolphin.
