Orca
An emoji depicting the powerful apex predator of the sea, the orca. Its distinctive black-and-white pattern is clearly represented.
The orca, or killer whale, is a large marine mammal part of the toothed whale suborder and is found in temperate and polar oceans worldwide. Known for their sophisticated social structure, they travel in family groups called pods and cooperatively hunt in coordinated attacks. Equipped with powerful teeth and jaws, they prey on seals, fish and even other whales. Orcas use complex vocalizations and have distinct dialects unique to each pod. Their intelligence and charismatic presence make them popular attractions in aquariums and subjects of scientific study. Conservation concerns include pollution, noise disturbance and declines in prey populations.
