Killer Whale : ATOM 0.3

Killer Whale

Orcas, or killer whales, are the largest of the porpoises and one of the world's most powerful predators. They feast on marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and even whales, employing teeth that can be four inches (ten centimeters) long. They are known to grab seals right off the ice. They also eat fish, squid, and seabirds.

We have a transient pod that travels off the Pacific coast of California. When whaling was big Orcas would actually help the whalers--and then get treats tossed to them--tongues and such.

Killers are my one of my two favorites...Along with bees, of course.

Someone should really take the time to explain the rules of the game to those guys.

Seriously though, they're talented - I bet they're demons with a hacky sack*.

Astoundingly, they will play a "tennis" like game with seals before they kill them, as is shown in this video:
