Fragile

Predators but fragile: like many other species, killer whales are dependant of the status of their environment. They need preys to feed on and also good environmental conditions. Orcas use underwater sounds to communicate together and to hunt. Without enough preys and too much underwater noise generated by human activities, it is hard to be an orca!

Killer whales or North Atlantic are still poorly known compared to other populations. We can hope that our knowledge will help us to protect this great predator (and to stop to put them in tanks!)
