The Orcinus orca is one of the biggest members in the dolphin family. They also swim in pods mostly of 40. They are also known as the king of the sea. They also weigh up to 6 tons(5,443 kilograms).
Orca are black and white. They have huge teeth to catch fish and other things. They have a flexible tail and they have fins like dolphins. They look a bit like magpies and are cheeky like them too. Orca don't have normal ears like we do, they have echolocation. So they can connect with their friends and their pods. Orcas also have brilliant eye sight to see their prey.
Orca live worldwide in the ocean. Sometimes offshore and in cold water and Antarctic water too. Most of the time they live in tropical places with dark blue seas and sometimes in clear waters.
Orca are carnivores. They like to eat seals, fish and squid. They have to come up for air like dolphins and they can hold their breath for a long long time. Orca have a motion of swimming up and down like whales.
Orcas need to be protected because they were around when the dinosaurs lived on earth. They are one of the kings of the sea and I think that they need to be looked after.
today i was learning about how to write a creature report.
I enjoyed choosing the topic because i got to do do my favorite animal which is an Orca.
i found it hard to find the facts about them because i didn't know that much.
Next time i don't think i can do anything better.
