Comment
The killer whale is one of the most social mammals on the planet. Only elephants and higher primates live in societies as complex and strong as that of the killer whale. The social structure of this marine mammal, which some scientists refer to as a "culture," reveals the presence of family ties, communication patterns, hunting habits, and other practices passed down from generation to generation.
