False Killer Whale

These oceanic dolphins use broadband clicks between 20-100 kHz for both hunting and social coordination. They can detect prey several kilometers away in open water. False killer whales hunt in coordinated groups, surrounding schools of fish and squid. Their echolocation helps synchronize movement during these complex hunting maneuvers. They form strong social bonds reinforced through vocalization. Their hunting success depends on this combination of acoustic communication and echolocation, allowing them to trap prey between multiple group members.
