| Killer whales are very social animals. They live in large groups called pods, which consist of six to forty whales. the whals form bonds that last for their lifetime. They hunt together and share their food. The whales work together to take care of the young, sick, and injured. These whales are often refered to as "wolves of the sea" because their behaviors are similar to those of wolves. The whales often communicate though whisles, moans, and clicks. |  |

Killer whales are extremly smart. They can be taught a variety of tricks and behaviors. When kept in captivity, these whales are often taught entire show routines, which they can preform on demand. Most trainers teach the whales these behaviors using a rewards sytem. After the whale completes the task, they are rewarded with a fish. |
