You can call her an impostor, but be careful, she weighs two tons. The false killer whale is an unknown cetacean although it is relatively frequent in the deep waters of the globe ... and dolphinariums, which like to tame it.
This gregarious animal, which is not an orca or a dolphin despite the relative resemblance, moves in small groups and mainly hunts fish. Sometimes, the false killer whale attacks young sharks and calves that it knocks out with its powerful tail and cuts them with its sharp teeth.
In some corners of the Pacific, we eat it, but on this video from our partner Brut, we just watch it. So, shall we dive?
