Orcas in Antarctica: Distribution and Hunting Adaptations

Orcas (killer whales) inhabit all oceans, including Antarctic waters. They occupy both coastal and offshore areas, following prey like fish, seals, and penguins. Some Antarctic populations have developed specialized hunting strategies, such as wave-washing seals off ice floes and navigating dense pack ice. Their distribution shifts seasonally with prey availability and ice conditions.
