Ah yes, the supreme predator of the sea. The only creature that remotely matches this creature is the Sperm whale. High intelligence is a boon to anything eh?

Fun fact, orcas and pilot whales both remain loyal and affectionate to their mothers their whole lives and if their mother dies they have a significantly higher chance of dying soon after even if they are a middle aged whale, interesting thing about all of this is that orcas and pilot whales are the only other two species on earth where females undergo menopause, this is reason to believe humans have a more similar social structure to whales than to chimps or dogs as otherwise the evolutionary pressure to evolve menopause likely wouldn’t have occurred, it also means grandmas have an evolutionarily intended role in society
