Orcas

By Makenna S. & Emily M.

Have you ever seen an Orca?  Less than half of the
5th grade has seen one.  So, that's why Emily and I
are deciding to talk about Orcas.  

To begin, Orcas have many ways to communicate,
such as using their blowhole. In addition, Orcas are
very strong and energetic and that's one of the
reasons why they are called killer whales. Killer
whales can feed on seabirds, squid, octopuses, sea turtles,
sharks, rays and fish. They have other names such as
the Killer Whale, Resident, Transient, and offshore. In
addition, the killer whales are not a threat to humans.
They are powerful predators capable of killing leopard seals
and Great White Sharks. They have also been recorded to prey
on  terrestrial species such as moose swimming between islands.
There are two or more types of Killer Whales. First, there are  
Resident Orcas. In fact, Transient Orcas jump up and eat their
prey as soon  they land in the water. When Killer Whales hunt
down animals they use their massive teeth. Which grow up to
4in long. Orcas are the largest type of dolphin, and definitely
one of the most powerful predators ever.  One day, we hope to
see one. .
