Killer whale is a species of toothed whale. The genus of killer whales is represented by only one species. It is considered the largest representative of its family and the only true predator among modern marine mammals that chases warm-blooded animals.
The killer whale is distributed almost throughout the World Ocean, meeting both near the shore and in open waters, but sticks mainly to 800 km of the coastline. The range does not include the Black, Azov, East Siberian and Laptev Seas. It is less common in the tropics than in cold and temperate waters. In Russia – usually near the Kuril ridge and the Commander Islands.
