The orca is actually the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family. The popular name for the orca is derived from ‘asesina-balenas’, a term 18th century Basque whalers used in reference to them. It was based on their observations of orca pods. The orca’s easily distinguishable by its black back, white chest & sides, white patches above the eyes & the dark-grey ‘saddle-patch’ across its back. Its heavy & robust body features paddle-like pectoral fins & a large dorsal fin, which, for males, can be up to 6 feet tall. Males are larger than females weighing over 6 tons with lengths from 20 to 26 feet
