No, orcas do not swim anywhere near the Arctic ice. Orcas prefer to live in warm waters, while Arctic ice lies in extremely cold waters.
Are orcas prey for Polar Bears?
Orcas are not prey for polar bears due to their size and temperament.
- Size: Orcas are much larger than polar bears. In fact, orcas are considered apex predators, meaning that they have no natural predators.
- Temperament: Orcas are not passive animals. They are known as “killer whales” because they are very aggressive and hunt for their prey. It would be more likely that a polar bear would be attacked by a killer whale than vice versa.
