The Killer Whale
Killer whales are characteristically marked with a black back, white chest and sides, and a white patch above and behind the eye.  Calves are born with a yellowish tint that later fades to white.  Killer whales have a heavy and tough body (tougher than other dolphins)and a large dorsal fin up to 6 feet tall.  Behind the fin, they have a dark grey “saddle patch” across the back.
