- Synopsis
- Killer whales are the supreme predators in the ocean. Today we are learning to respect them as intelligent and adaptable animals, rather than fear them as the loathsome creatures once imagined in legends. This revised and updated introduction to killer whales, or orcas, pieces together the latest information on how they live. We learn how they communicate and maintain well-established societies, with intricate family relationships, over long lifespans. We also learn about the environmental concerns that threaten killer whales. Illustrated by the world's best wildlife photographers, this book brings us face to face with these intriguing creatures. This is the revised edition.
