ORCA

These creatures wouldn’t hurt a fly.

FALSE. OK, they don’t eat flies, but they

kill and eat other whales, seals, sea lions,

penguins, walruses, and a variety of fish

and squid. Orcas are called killer whales.

Black-and-white coloration

makes its presence obvious.

FALSE. Its coloration makes it hard for

prey to see the orca—until it’s too late.

The NFL could use a newborn

calf’s size and strength.

TRUE. The 8 -foot-long, 350 -pound new-

born could add some muscle to a team,

but its mom probably wouldn’t let it play.

If you’re spending the day with an

8,000-pound orca, you’ll need 50

cans of tuna to keep its tummy full.

FALSE. You’ll need to have more than 650

cans of tuna to keep your friend full!

Orcas dive the deepest of all

whale species.

FALSE. Since their food is usually near

the surface, so are they.
