How do killer whales pass their time?
Jason Williams Age 9, London The activities of killer whales can be grouped into four major categories: foraging, resting, socialising and travelling. Foraging is the most common activity, which makes up about 60% of their daily activity. When resting, pod members slow down, group together tightly, become mainly silent and dive in synchronization; resting episodes usually last 2 3 hours. Socialising amongst killer whales consists of mating and play with the other pod members.
