Description:
The False killer whale is a large cetacean belonging to the dolphin family, known for its resemblance to the orca. However, unlike the orca, the false killer whale generally lives in warmer waters and is more discreet. It primarily feeds on fish, squid, and small marine mammals. Although its social behavior and ability to hunt in groups are remarkable, the false killer whale is threatened by marine pollution and accidental captures in fishing nets.

Recommended lens:
>=400 mm

Photography tips:
Photograph the False killer whale using a telephoto lens to capture its distinctive silhouette, especially when groups are hunting together or interacting with one another. It is best to photograph early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the light is softer and the animal is more active. Be patient and maintain a respectful distance, as the false killer whale is a fairly discreet animal that prefers to avoid human approach.
