Killer whale / Orca - transient type
Monterey Bay, Pacific Ocean, California, USA
Orcinus orca
There are three types of recognised Killer Whales - 'resident', 'transients' & 'offshore'. Physical differences are subtle, the main difference being habitat preferences, behaviour, primarily feeding behaviour. 'Residents' spend the summer months eating fish in British Columbia and around San Juan Islands, 'transients' hunt marine mammals and travel long distances up and down the coast and 'offshores' live mostly offshore dn their habits are poorly known.
