The Orca

The Orca
An orca is black and white. It can
grow up to 30 feet long. An orca’s
fin can be 6 feet tall. Orcas are
large dolphins, but they are often
called “killer whales.”
A baby orca is called a calf. Orcas
take good care of their babies. As
soon as a calf is born, its mother
pushes it up to get some air.
A group of orcas is called a pod.
The pod looks for fish to eat. The
orca catches fish with its sharp
teeth. One orca can eat over 100
pounds of food in a day. Orcas are
sometimes called “wolves of the
sea” because they hunt in packs like
wolves.
