Ecotypes of killer whales can be very different from one another in diet, appearance, dialect, and genetics. Learn about behavior, life history, and other killer whale facts. They are highly dependent on echolocation, a sensory mode that humans scarcely possess [. Available online: Robeck, T.R. It is arguably adaptive for any animal facing either predator or prey species to have such an ability. The authors have no personal recollection of incidents in which a petting pool orca harmed a human visitor. Their physically impressive cousins, orcas, have been even less studied. If human-orca friendships were approached in a more integrated fashion, for instance, a cultural immersion such as Jane Goodall experienced with chimpanzees, it is possible that far more could be learned.

Latham, N.; Mason, G. Frustration and perseveration in stereotypic captive animals: Is a taste of enrichment worse than none at all? Recorded incidents include such behaviors as: Mouthing, sometimes to the extent of leaving permanent bite marks, and even breaking bones, Lunging at staff who approached the water, Pulling trainers into the water and holding them under.

The authors noted what appeared to be a correlation between the level of trust a human showed an orca and the subsequent depth of the orca/human rapport. The killer whale or orca (Orcinus orca) is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. By comparison, almost all of SeaWorld’s orcas with aggression lived to be sexually mature adults, i.e., 26 mature, 2 in puberty, and 1 pre-puberty. The quest to objectively compare delphinid cognitive complexity and capacity (or “intelligence”) to that in humans is however made difficult by the non-overlap of capabilities that humans consider to be benchmarks of intelligence. As of this writing in May 2016 and since their founding in 1964, SeaWorld has owned 65 orcas of whom 29 (45%) have been involved in one or more published aggressive incidents. � Some published numbers are shown in, By this measure, dolphins and orcas are among the closest if not the closest mammals to humans in intelligence.

While the friendships developed in 1979–1980 were unstructured, they still enabled significant insights into orca social cognition. Beran, M.J.; Parrish, A.E. a long dive followed by three or four surface blows of 3-4 sec spaced a mean

More recently a beached orca on Vancouver Island was found with Affective ToM which relates to comprehending feelings in another. Perhaps achieving better understanding of the so familiar yet so alien orca could help free humans of this anthropocentric tendency. ; Perdue, B.M. Swimming and diving Norris and Prescott (1961) stated that, in general, killer whales took 3 to 5 short dives of 10-35 sec duration followed by a longer dive lasting 1-4 min. of frequencies (Dahlheim and Awbrey, 1982). Silk, J.B. Orcinus orca is the only recognized extant species in the genus Orcinus, and one of many animal species originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Comparative cognition: Past, present, and future. Whiten, A.; van Schaik, C.P. Orcas are social mammals that will readily bond with humans. Anderson noted that an orca only did this if the human had freely placed his or her hand in the orca’s mouth, and there was always ample time for removal of one’s hand if desired. ; Wade, P.; Durban, J.; Parsons, K.; Pitman, R.; Li, L.; et al. Rollin, B.E. During 1979 and 1980, the San Diego SeaWorld facility (San Diego, CA, USA) possessed a number of juvenile orcas, aged two to five years that were in training to become performers. Similar to an actual historical investigation, one is forced to utilize the surviving documentation and testimonies of the events to attempt to construct a rational account. (2) The authors were first drawn to the orcas in part by a desire to bond with a “fellow being”, and quickly learned that feeding them fish from the trays sold at the pool was not an effective way to achieve this.
