They are not the vicious beasts you portray.

Crabbe, have you asked the whales who get their tongues ripped out and left to die? nzherald.co.nz Have you consulted the seals, porpoises, dophins and other mammals they gobble like M&Ms? I've seen video of them playing throw the baby seal for fun, until they tired of the game, then pushed it back to shore and watched it run up the beach to tell mum what had happened. [They had eaten their fill]. I know some humans are more vicious than that, but I have them on my extinction list too.

They are nasty and smart king of the ocean.

They cruise around New Zealand and people wonder why whales of various types beach themselves. People think the whales get confused. I would beach myself too, or jump into water to escape a tiger and not come out and maybe not be able to get out. I'd rather die of drowning than be eaten by a tiger. I guess pilot whales and others have the same idea. It's quite scary to be eaten alive, or having your tongue ripped out by a bunch of killer whales.

<One hunts fish only and is vocal probably has a well developed language and vocabulary.>

Okay, we could leave them for entertainment or for Japanese whalers to catch. I want to eat fish and I don't need competition from too many killer whales [even if they are called orca to make them seem nice guys].

<The other hunts sea mammals, seals, sealions, possibly whales, but not a tegular on their diet. this variety has little language ability, it is more of a hunter of opportunity while the other variety group hunts.>

These are the vicious ones. Maybe they don't say much normally as they'd give the game away as they sneak up on their victims. Catching dolphins, seals etc would require stealth. I bet they chat when it's party time after a good feasting.
