Orca’s Unmatched Marine Power

An orca would need 80-100 humans to match its tremendous strength. These marine mammals generate enough tail force to propel their 6-ton bodies completely out of water. Orcas regularly push waves to knock seals from ice floes during coordinated hunts. They’ve been observed working together to move small icebergs when pursuing prey. Their enormous muscle mass, adapted for constant swimming in cold oceans, provides unparalleled pulling power among toothed whales.
