whale but a whole pod of killer whales.A pod is a group of closely ‎ related whales.A pod is formed when a female killer whale gives birth to a baby，which means that ‎ the oldest female is the leader because all the other members are her children and her children's ‎ children.A pod is made up of 4 to 40 killer whales.Killer whales stay in a pod to protect the young ‎ and to help with hunting.These pods usually develop their own languages.‎ What a killer whale looks like ‎ Killer whales are always black and white.You can tell the female and male whales apart very ‎ easily.A male has a bigger dorsal fin(背鳍)than a female killer whale.A dorsal fin is the fin that is at ‎ the top of the killer whale.An adult male whale can grow up to 23 feet and weigh up to ‎ ‎4,000—5,000 kilograms.A female can grow to 21 feet and weigh up to 2,500—3,000 kilograms.A ‎ killer whale has 20 or more coneshaped(锥形的)teeth.These teeth help hold and kill their food.‎ Languages ‎ Clicks and whistles are the language of all killer whales.One pod's dialect can be different ‎ from the other pod's dialect.This form of speech is very important because it is the way killer ‎ whales communicate.Say that you and a friend sat across the room from each other.You would not ‎ be able to get his attention without using your voice.You see，the clicks and whistles are almost the ‎ same as the words in human speech.Both are used for communicating.‎ Hunting ‎ Without good hunting skills，the pod would not survive.Killer whales sometimes hunt by ‎ themselves to get their own food.The newborn babies are taught everything they need to know ‎ about hunting as a member of the pod.‎ Killer whales eat salmon，squid，birds，penguins，sea turtles，seals，and porpoises.What they ‎ eat depends on what is in their area and what is available.Killer whales can break thin Antarctic ‎ ice.In this way，killer whales get their food，which can be penguins or seals.‎ ‎ 【解题导语】 你喜欢看动物世界吗？那么你知道什么动物能把体型硕大的鲸吃掉吗？‎
