Seaworld: Pros And Cons Of The Killer Whales

(A)Introduction

The orca, also known as the killer whale,is a giant animal that belongs to the oceanic dolphin family. Orcas are carnivorous and feed on fish, birds, and other marine mammals. When hunting, they are so vicious, they are even known to kill sharks. Orcas use echolocation, a series of high pitched clicks, to stun prey. Adult orcas usually weigh about 8,800 pounds and are about 28 feet long. These mammals are usually pregnant for 13 to 16 months. At the least, after the calf is born, it stays with its mother for 2 years. Having a lifespan of 50 years, they usually stay with their mother their whole lives depending on what pod they are from.

Many people just don't see it because Seaworld lies about it and gives out wrong facts and information. I think Seaworld needs to stop breeding the orcas and let them die off. No more orcas need to be
