Killer Whale

Without a doubt, the killer whale is one of the most distinctive marine mammals in the world. Its size — seven to nine metres long and between four and five tones in weight — and its striking black-and-white colouring, and long, rounded body make it unmistakable.

Learn more about Canada’s marine mammals such as the killer whale, Atlantic walrus, beluga whale, bowhead whale and harbour porpoise. Also, check out the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s Rivers to Oceans Week: Underwater Mysteries, June 8 – 14, 2008.
