Killer Whales have evolved to occupy just about every ocean on our planet, and have adapted to a wide variety of prey. Learn from the Biologist and PhD candidate Michael Weiss all about their social structures, communications, and place in the ocean. These creatures have found a way to thrive in our oceans, and have like humans, managed to change the ocean environment. How have some pods evolved to hunt Great White Sharks and only eat their livers? Why do others beach themselves to get seals? Who teaches them to do this? Some Killer Whales have gotten into gang wars, while others have been living in captivity for over 40 years. Hear an expert talk about the awe-inspiring world of these intelligent creatures.
