Their awesome physical power combined with their cooperative hunting skills and ability to problem-solve make them uniquely efficient killers. Yet orcas also celebrate births, grieve losses, and maintain lifelong family bonds.

It explores the behaviors and characteristics of the world's diverse orca populations--from Antarctica, Iceland, and South America to Norway, Spain, South Africa, the Pacific Northwest of Canada, and the United States --and reveals the startling discoveries that scientists have made in recent years. \u003ci\u003eWild Orcas\u003c\/i\u003e takes you on an epic ocean excursion to encounter these magnificent creatures as you have never seen them before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a wealth of breathtaking color photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers everything from social structure and family dynamics to evolution, physiology, interactions with humans, and the fascinating ways orcas learn from each other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores orcas' underwater lives, such as how they \"see\" with sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the innovative and state-of-the-art ways researchers study orcas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheds light on orca culture, from vocal dialects and hunting strategies to behaviors such as greeting ceremonies, beach rubbing, and porpoise tossing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hanne Strager,Catherine DeNardo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691269849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHanne Strager\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning science writer, whale biologist, and exhibition director whose books include \u003ci\u003eThe Killer Whale Journals: Our Love and Fear of Orcas\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eCatherine DeNardo\u003c\/b\u003e is a whale biologist, freelance editor, and award-winning writer whose work has appeared in leading publications such as \u003ci\u003eOutside\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNautilus\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNowhere\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Hanne Strager \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":48552052228253,"sku":"9780691269849","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_d6b47c12-eecb-40a4-a7a5-a5e4116b706d.jpg?v=1782828576","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/wild-orcas-a-deep-dive-into-the-world-of-killer-whales-9780691269849","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
