Orcas are extremely vicious and intelligent predators. Their traditional food source before industrial whaling was other whales which they’d tear to pieces like a wolf pack. There is a reason why they used to be called killer whales.

There is a move in recent years to just call them Orcas , but when you use the old "Killer Whale description some of the biologists get upset.
Just like when Man-eaters became white sharks after JAWS.-Tom

The two distinct populations off the West Coast feed differently...one on marine mammals, and the other on salmon. The ones feeding on salmon are in trouble.

Watched a document how they cornered a pod of dolphins.
As you said, just like a pack of wolves. Total massacre...
