For more, visit http://animal.discovery.com/tv/wild-kingdom/#mkcpgn=ytapl1 | The Orcas live in a Matriarchal community. The females live much longer than the males, and therefor have more valuable experiences. (From "A Man Among Orcas," Season 4)

@ducrozet74 We're not ignorant people, we just aren't informed about their cruelty so don't call us ignorant if we don't have all the information like you do.

females live longer than males = matriarcal society? There must be a better reason, otherwise most mammal communities would have that.

They have passed on traditions and teachings for decades if not centuries, and all the while as these traits are passed on they continuously improve them and advance them to carry their species to higher levels. This is one species we should take note of to answer the questions of how we have become what we are. Because in our lifetime on this earth this species is on that same path. It's only a matter of time!

I must say the amount of studies we find on this species alone is amazing. I'm from Vancouver Island Canada and have seen these creatures all my life. I have researched and studied about them a lot and I have to say this is living evidence of a species in the process of continuously advancing and evolving to become more successful. They learn so fast, they have society, culture and tradition, and have evolved the ability to develop unique and rather complex dialects suited to only one clan.

@TamilianPonnu aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Then you have your second cousins and more distant cousins who you may or may not know well. However you are still related to them because your immediate family and your distant family all share the same ancestral blood line.

@TamilianPonnu What he means by Clans is for example. In British Columbia Canada We have "pods" in the northen part of Canada and Alaska there is A pod G pod and R pod. however a "clan" is a matriarchal lineage. If you use A pod. You would have A1 clan, A2 clan and so on. these multiple matriarchal lines are what make up a "pod" They don't often encounter eachother but they all share a common ancestor. It's like your immediate family, your brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers,

any idea where in the world these orcas are from? they seem smaller than say the ones found in iceland or british columbia

@jhuriza1 This is actually a fact. Doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it's a factual observation. Nice thing about science: if in doubt, you're always allowed to *read* the research papers on these findings, backed with evidence, graphs, charts, bibliographies, and whatever else you could possibly want for proof.

Such an incredible creature, orca are at the top of their game...At least if it weren't for those pesky humans they would be...
