Each family of killer whales has its own language.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Do you know how you recognize the voices of your family among a hundred people? Killer whales do the same thing\u2014only underwater. Scientists have recorded over 100 years of their \u00abconversations\u00bb and discovered that each family (called a \u00abpod\u00bb) has its own unique set of sounds. Its own language!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dialect of one family differs from another as Ukrainian from Polish. If a young orca moves to a neighboring family, at first it is \u00abnot understood.\u00bb It has to learn new sounds. A mother orca teaches her calf her language for 7 years \u2014 this is the longest childhood among all marine animals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Killer whales are the most intelligent predators in the ocean. Their brains are 4 times heavier than a human's - about 6 kilograms. They know how to work in a team: one group of killer whales figured out how to create a wave with their tails to throw a seal off an ice floe. Another group hunts for herring, driving it into a shiny ball. Different families have different "professions", just like human families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Killer whales recognize themselves in the mirror (few animals can do this!), take care of their grandmothers \u2014 they even have grandmother killer whales who live to be 90 and lead families. And killer whales have never attacked a person in the open ocean in history. They seem to know: we are smart too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next time you see an orca in a movie, listen to its voice. You might hear words that only its mother knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
