Killer
whales are the worlds most abundent mammal spiecies,
next to humans. They live in all oceans around the world
but their largest numbers are in the Arctic, Antarctic,
and other cold water areas. They can be often be spotted
off the coast British Columbia, Alaska, Washington State,
Oregon, California, and Baja California. But sightings
on the east coast of North America are more rare. The
Orca can also be seen in warm water areas such as Hawaii,
Australia, the Galapagos Islands, the Bahamas, and the
Gulf of Mexico. Such sightings are rare, but show that
this creature lives everywhere. They have also been
seen in fresh water rivers around the world such as
the Rhine, the Thames, and the Elbe. One even traveled
some 177 km up the Columbia River to eat fish.
