Despite their scary name, killer whales are known as social animals.
They have the second heaviest brain among marine mammals and are considered extremely intelligent.
Whales usually live in matrilineal “pods” headed by the oldest female and remain close to their mothers throughout their lives.
Their social structures are among the most complex mammals, with only elephants and primates living in comparable groups.
Killer whales often show signs of battle and synchronized swimming, further evidence of the relationships that exist in pods.
