armed with large, sharp teeth. They capture, and
swallow entire, large numbers of seals, porpoises, and
dolphins, and are celebrated for their savage, combined
attacks upon the right whales, which they are said to
mutilate and kill. The common Atlantic species (

American coast. Two species (
Orca ater and
Orca rectipinna
) occur on the Pacific coast.
