虎鲸

📖 1. 概览

它是海豚科中体型最大的物种，也是现生海洋生态系统中绝对的顶级捕食者。其母系社会传承着高度发达的方言与捕猎文化，目前针对不同生态型（Ecotype）的物种分化研究仍在进行中，因此在IUCN红色名录中被列为“数据缺乏（DD, Data Deficient）”等级。

🌐 Wikipedia 摘要摘录

The orca, or killer whale, is a toothed whale and the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family. The only extant species in the genus Orcinus, it is recognizable by its distinct pigmentation; being mostly black on top, white on the bottom and having recognizable white eye patches. A cosmopolitan species, it inhabits a wide range of marine environments, from Arctic to Antarctic regions to tropical seas, but is more commonly documented in temperate or cooler coastal waters. Scientists have proposed dividing the global population into races, subspecies, or possibly even species.
