It<br \/>\n hunts in packs, and cooperates in attacking its prey in much the same way that<br \/>\n wolves do.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Its diet consists of sea lions, elephant seals, porpoises, squid, sharks, fish,<br \/>\n penguins, and smaller whales. While it is known to attack very large whales,<br \/>\n successful attacks on large whales are probably limited to sick or wounded<br \/>\n whales. No case of its attacking a human has ever been documented.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Killer whales usually attack gray whale calves. However, killer whales have<br \/>\n recently been seen attacking adult gray whales. These unusual attacks have alarmed<br \/>\n scientists for two reasons. They may mean that other killer whale food sources have<br \/>\n diminished. They also may pose a significant threat to the gray whale population.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n The male killer whale can grow as large as 32 feet (9.6 m) long, and weigh 8<br \/>\n or 9 tons. The female can reach 23 feet (8.2 m) in length, and weigh 4 tons.<br \/>\n The mouth of the killer whale is large and well adapted for hunting. It has 46<br \/>\n to 50 cone-shaped teeth. The teeth point backwards and inwards and<br \/>\n interlock. This arrangement aids in gripping large prey and in tearing larger<br \/>\n animals into bite-sized pieces.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Gray whales are of interest to killer whales about 20 percent of the time they<br \/>\n encounter each other. Killer whales are successful in about 33 percent of their<br \/>\n attacks.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n The name “killer whale” is gradually being replaced by “orca”, its less<br \/>\n hostile sounding scientific name.\n <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/whale-encounter\/\"><button class=\"reg btn blu\">Go Back to Killer Whale Choices<\/button><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEST: Killer Whale Feeding Habits Killer Whale Feeding Habits […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"no-header-footer.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9472"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9472"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9472\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9473,"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9472\/revisions\/9473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
