He liked watching the dolphins and manatees, but he loved the whales. Beluga Whales from the arctic were really beautiful, but it was the Killer Whales especially that had his heart. 2 For hours, he could watch the trainers coax them through jumps, leaps and other tricks. Their playfulness and intelligence amazed him too. One time the trainer even got launched into the air, from the Killer Whale’s nose. Their black and white patterned skin reminded him of a tuxedo, a penguin, or even a zebra, but on the Killer Whales, they seemed even more special. 3 It always surprised him how fast and agile such a massive creature could be. They moved as fast as a bullet, darting through their huge tanks and exploding from the water. It also surprised him to learn that they belonged to the dolphin family, despite being called whales! 4 Killer Whales are predators and they are at the top of the food chain because they are even more dangerous than sharks. In the park, the Killer Whales eat fish and other snacks, but in the wild, they eat seals, sea lions, smaller whales, and just about anything they can catch. They have very sharp teeth to help them eat their prey. 5 The Killer Whales are amazing animals and they inspired Greg to learn more about sea animals. He thought that someday, he might want to become a marine biologist so that, in his job, he could learn more about his favourite animals.
