A large pod of 25 to 45 Type B killer whales (Orcinus nanus) in Paradise Bay at 648 48.6?S 638 02.6?W, Antarctica, Southern Ocean. MORE INFO These animals are also often called killer whales, but this is a misnomer as this is actually the largest member of the dolphin family. The Type B killer whale is a proposed new species called Orcinus nanus, though this is not universally accepted in the scientific community yet. Type B killer whales specialize in hunting pinnipeds, although this group was documented taking at least 1 gentoo penguin. The Antarctic population estimate is 70, 000?80, 000 for all types of killer whales
