It’s no secret that sharks, rays, and chimaeras are disappearing at an alarming rate. It’s also no secret that overfishing remains the biggest threat, with demand for their meat surging worldwide.
There’s no doubt about it: killer whales (Orcinus orca) are formidable predators. They feed on a diverse range of prey, from marine mammals like seals and whales to fish and even reptiles. However, they are also known to specialize in specific prey, such as whale tongue or shark liver, indicating a complex and regionally varied diet.
