An apex predator is the Orca, which can take out a Great White.
They have been given the title of: "Wolves of the Sea."

Yes, they hunt in packs. And they are extremely intelligent. They are to sharks as we are to lemurs. Nothing is safe from them; not the largest whale, nor the smallest seal.

ETA: And to place them in little aquatic boxes and force them to do human-pleasing tricks in order to be fed is more than an insult - it should be a crime.

Now that's what I'm tawkin' about. I hate those places.

I have a writer friend who, when someone says they went swimming with dolphins, says, "No, the dolphins were forced to swim with you." And he is right.

I saw Blackfish and was in tears most of the way through it.

My friend Emily said it was really good. It was, and it opened my eyes to a lot of cruelty for the sake of entertainment, but it was incredibly difficult to watch.

When held captive, aggressive behaviors surface.
