Interesting fact: Orcas, also known as killer whales, are the largest members of the dolphin family and are apex predators in the ocean.
The answer: Adult male orcas typically weigh between 8,000 and 12,000 pounds (3,600 to 5,400 kilograms), while females weigh between 3,000 and 8,000 pounds (1,400 to 3,600 kilograms).
Orcas are powerful marine mammals found in oceans worldwide. Males are significantly larger than females, with robust bodies and distinctive black and white coloring. Their weight supports their role as top predators, enabling them to hunt seals, fish, and even whales. Orcas live in social groups called pods and use sophisticated hunting techniques.
