A Pod of Killer Whales - Vicki Leon - Paperback

Images from Free Willy and captive killer whales performing at Sea World don't tell the real story of these marvelous creatures. With their vast bulk and "killer" instincts, these predators - weighing up to ten tons and eating more than 100 pounds of food a day - rule their underwater world. This lively book introduces young readers to every aspect of these singular beasts, from their surprising social arrangements (living in lifelong family groups) to their pod-specific dialects to their awesome methods of killing prey. Photos by noted wildlife cinematographer Jeff Foott include rare shots of killer whale behavior.Leon, Vicki is the author of 'A Pod of Killer Whales - Vicki Leon - Paperback' with ISBN 9780918303165 and ISBN 0918303168.
