Orca in mid flight

songbird — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 12:17:21 GMT

Somoeone caught an Orca in mid "flight". Just taken at the right time, while it was in middle of a jump. You can see how tall the dorsal fin is. Males like this, have dorsal fins that tower way over 6 feet. the females have the familiar smaller curved fin. Imagine swimming in the ocean and see that in front of you.

THE DOLPHIN COUSIN - ONLY DEADLIER AND DRESSED IN A TUX!

LOVE THEM, GORGEOUS MAJESTIC ANIMALS.

Killer Whales Are Actually Dolphins.

“Killer Whales”, or Orcas, are actually dolphins.

In fact, they are the largest member of the dolphin family, Delphinidae.

Now strictly speaking, whales are marine animals of the order of Cetacea.

Occasionally Cetacea is used to refer to not just whales, but also porpoises and dolphins.

We need to do whatever it takes to keep our oceans and seas clean for all the majestic sea life out there.
