Today in Science class we watched a video all about Killer Whales. We noticed behaviors, instincts, and traits of this amazing mammal. Most of the whales behaviors were learned as a young whale. I am going to show you my paragraph on Killer Whales. Killer Whales are black and white mammals with blubber that are born knowing how to jump. The males fins can rise up to 6 feet. Some instincts that I saw in the video is that they hunt in pods, use echo location to find prey, and they are very curious and playful whales. I thought the 2 dominating behaviors was that they stay and hunt in their pods and their curiosity. The habitat of this whale is northern cold parts of the ocean. The life of the Killer Whale starts when the whale is born and then has to learn the language, echo location, and how to hunt. As the seasons pass the whale grows rapidly but they can’t mate until they are 16 years old. That was the basic Science class on Killer Whales.
