Orcas are called killer whales due to the fact that they are the top predator in the ocean. They are the hunters, not the hunted. They eat almost anything and everything they â¦ can find including other whales.
Their Latin name, Orcinus orca, also reflects this observation of orcas feeding on large whales. Orcinus translates to âof the kingdom of the dead,â and orca refers to a kind of whale. We know that orcas are top predators, yes, but not the vicious âwhale killersâ that the ancient mariners thought them to be.
