Orcas are predators of the sea, and they are intelligent to boot from what I studied about them. Sometimes I wonder why I didn’t get into marine biology back then in college, it is interesting.

Eh, transient oceanic orca pods have been known about for over 25 years. This appears to be a subgroup of Bigg’s orcas. Interesting research.
Too bad they can’t easily get DNA samples of a large number of these orcas - that would be a definitive way to determine subspecies. So for now it’s determininatiins based on location, vocalizations and dietary preferences.

I thought Orcas are dolphins. Are dolphins whales?

It’s a result of globull warming making the water warmer and thus giving the whales more food to eat making them bigger and badder.

Killer whales are actually dolphins. They're the largest of their species.
