Welcome to the image collection dedicated to orcas — one of the most impressive members of the dolphin family. The orca, or killer whale (Orcinus orca), is a large marine mammal found in oceans and seas worldwide, from Arctic and Antarctic waters to tropical regions.

These animals have a distinctive physical form: a powerful body with a pointed head, a large dorsal fin that can reach up to 2 meters in height in males, and striking contrasting coloration — black with white patches located on the sides and under the eyes. Orcas exhibit a high level of socialization and often gather in groups called matriarchal pods.

Orcas are top predators in the marine ecosystem and have a diverse diet, including fish, squid, marine mammals, and birds. Their feeding habits can vary significantly depending on the population and region, reflecting their adaptability and ecological plasticity. Orca habitats range from coastal areas to the open sea, where they can actively travel long distances.

This species is an integral part of ocean biodiversity, possessing a complex social structure and playing an important ecological role. Seasonal migrations, various acoustic signals, and unique hunting methods make orcas a subject of constant interest among scientists, ecologists, and nature enthusiasts.

In our collection, you will find high-quality images of orcas in various marine environments — from calm bays and ice fields to rough open waters, as well as photographs showcasing group behavior, hunting, interaction with the environment, and dynamic moments of their life in the natural habitat.
