Orcas are also called killer whales and live in family groups called pods. Sometimes up to 40 individuals live in a pod. Members of the pod make distinctive calls that only other members of their pod will recognize. Orcas are one of the worlds most powerful predators. They have teeth up to 4 inches ( 10 centimeters ) long and can grab seals right of the ice. Orcas eat seals, sea lions, and even other whales. Orcas live in the cold, coastal water from the polar regions to the equator.
Dear Riley,
The first post I saw today when I logged in was yours! What a beautiful picture and paragraph about Orcas. Why do you think they got the name Killer Whales? Do you think it is because they are such powerful predators?
Thanks Riley,

Dear Riley,
I love your post about Orcas! I have seen many Orcas in my life,onetime I saw 2 jump out of the water and make a heart formation! I told my family, but they said it wasn’t real. What made you want to do a post about Orcas? I love watching Orcas!

Dear Riley,
That is pretty cool that there can be up to 40 orcas in a pod. It is also cool that their teeth can be up to 4 inches long. I did not know the orcas can eat that many things.
