O maior membro da família dos golfinhos, as orcas (Orcinus orca) podem atingir até 9 metros de comprimento e 6 toneladas, sendo encontradas em todos os oceanos, do Ártico ao Antártico. Predadores de topo que vivem em grupos matrilineares com dialetos distintos, estratégias de caça e tradições culturais que diferem entre populações.
