What are the natural enemies of killer whales?

Black whales are at the top of the food chain and have no natural enemies except humans. Black whales are natural enemies of penguins, dolphins, seals and other animals, and sometimes attack other whales, even great white sharks, which can be called the overlord at sea.

Black whales are highly socialized animals, and some group families are the most stable families in the animal kingdom. Some complex social behaviors, hunting skills and voice communication are considered as evidence that killer whales have their own culture.

Hunting methods and eating habits

1, feeding habits: killer whales passing by prefer to eat seals, walruses and so on. Marine killer whales prefer sharks and resident killer whales prefer salmon.

2. Hunting: Sometimes killer whales hunt in groups, and use the ultrasonic waves emitted by the ridge (the part used by the dolphin family for echolocation, which will concentrate the sounds into a beam) to communicate with each other and plan tactics. Qi Xin will work together to concentrate the fish into a big ball, and then take turns to drill in and feed them.

3. Food: The killer whale's food includes fish, other whales, pteropods, sea otters, birds, reptiles and cephalopods. Of the 362 killer whale stomachs collected in Antarctica, 2 17 contained fish, 75 contained the remains of minke whales, 35 contained pteropods and 35 contained cephalopods.

Killer whales live mainly in polar and temperate waters. Japan's Beihai and Iceland, which are widely distributed all over the world, seem to have no obvious restrictions on factors such as water temperature and water depth.
