The Whale Called Killer...

Rogues Blog #3:
Many consider the great white shark to be the ocean's top predator... not even close. In a showdown with a killer whale it's not a fight it's an execution. In fact Orcinus orca (6 tons) will often dine on gray whales (30-40 tons), attacking in packs. It's why killers are often referred to as "wolves of the sea." These are Transient killers (mammal eaters) vs. Resident killers (fish eaters). Transients and Residents look very much alike and sometimes share the same waters, though they never mingle or mate, a unique phenomenon among known species of animals.

The rogue killer whales in "Rogues," however, happen to be slightly larger than 6 tons. In fact, they are 120 feet long and weigh 100 tons! Impossible? Not exactly. Scientists are quick to point out that only about 1% of the deep seas have ever been explored. We know much more about far off galaxies than we do about the oceans. Bottom line: they're not sure what is down there. So check out the gray on the left... killer on the right. Grays beware! Packers too! Go Bears!
