 Fact of the Day: KILLER WHALES-  
     1. Killer Whales are cetaceans which belong to the order Delphinidae. This means that they are “Dolphins” regardless the word “whale” is in its name.
    2. Killer Whales eat up to 5% of their body weight each day. This averages out to over 500 pounds of food for each Killer Whale.
    3. The life expectancy of a killer whale in the wild is 50 - 60 years for males, and up to 90 years for females, however, killer whales in captivity live less than 30 years.
