Whales communicate with each other at a very low frequency, almost undetectable to human ears. Orcas use various signals while hunting to isolate prey and effectively capture and kill it. As a group, we are asking how the Orca Whales establish a hierarchical dominance? And how they communicate with each other during the act of hunting? As of late, Orcas have been studied more regularly as the hunting behaviors are becoming more prevalent and aggressive without much explanation as to why. With only a quick Google Scholar search, we have uncovered papers, videos, and data sets that other behavioral scientists have gathered in order to better understand this phenomena. Below are links to videos and articles we found with preliminary information.
