Welcome to the collection of images dedicated to killer whales — large marine mammals also known as orcas. If you are looking for high-quality photographs of these remarkable members of the dolphin family, here you will find a variety of images showcasing killer whales in their natural environment.

Killer whales are massive and powerful predators, measuring between 5 and 9 meters in length and weighing up to 6 tons. They have a distinctive black-and-white coloration, including large white patches around the eyes and on the underside of the body. Their appearance is complemented by a sturdy, torpedo-shaped body and a tall, curved dorsal fin, which can reach up to 1.8 meters in height in males.

These animals primarily inhabit coastal and open ocean waters of all seas and oceans, from polar to tropical regions. Their habitat can include cold Arctic and Antarctic waters as well as warm subtropical zones. Killer whales are often found in groups called pods or families, reflecting their social behavior and population structure.

Typical landscapes in which killer whales are depicted include the open sea, bays with marine vegetation and diverse sea creatures. They are often seen near icebergs in the north, by rocky coastlines, or in areas rich in food resources. Other marine animals such as seals, fish, and squid may be present around them, highlighting their role as apex predators in the marine food chain.

Photographs of killer whales may show their activity both underwater and above the surface, including moments of hunting, social interaction, or swimming in calm waters. Seasonal characteristics affect their migrations and distribution, influencing the visual context — changes in conditions and biotope are reflected in the surrounding environment where they live.

The collection also features images capturing large, cohesive groups of killer whales, emphasizing the complex social behavior of these animals and their ability for cooperative hunting and communication.
