This is an organism that has two identical alleles for the same genetic trait. Hybrid This is the offspring of a genetic cross between parents with different traits.

The killer whale (Orcinus orca), also referred to as the orca whale or orca, and less commonly as the blackfish or grampus, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member.Killer whales are found in all oceans, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas.Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals like pinnipeds, and even large whales.ild killer whales are not considered a threat to humans, but there have been cases of captive orcas killing or injuring their handlers at marine theme parks. Killer whales feature strongly in the mythologies of indigenous cultures, with their reputation ranging from being the souls of humans to merciless killers.
Also known as killer whales, orcas measure from 23 to 32 feet and weigh up to six tons. They're as big as school buses, and seeing these incredible creatures with their signature black-and-white coloring is an experience you won't soon forget. Because orcas hunt in pods, or packs of as many as 40 whales, chances are if you see one orca, you'll get to see many more.
