  2. To be fair, not all Orcas actually hunt dolphins. In fact, some populations do not hunt marine mammals at all.

  3. ​ @SGOV86 I mean, they are. But they're pretty distant relatives. All animals are technically related anyways.

  7. ​​ @MalamIbnMalam Cannibalism is when an organism preys and consumes other members of its species. While Orcas are dolphins, they are not the same species as the dolphin they are hunting. Therefore, it cannot be considered cannibalism.
