A Pod of Killer Whales: The Mysterious Life of the Intelligent Orca
Paperback
(London Town Press Dec. 18, 2006)
, 2nd edition
Images from Free Willy and captive killer whales performing at Sea World don’t tell the real story of these marvelous creatures. With their vast bulk and killer” instincts, these predators weighing up to ten tons and eating more than 100 pounds of food a day rule their underwater world. This lively book introduces young readers to every aspect of these singular beasts, from their surprising social arrangements (living in lifelong family groups) to their pod-specific dialects to their awesome methods of killing prey. Photos by noted wildlife cinematographer Jeff Foott include rare shots of killer whale behavior.
