One of these was named Mr Ray because at the time he was interacting with a ray. We also know that between May 2006 and December 2015, Futurismo biologists recorded 24 sightings of orcas. The data collected are the result of research by Futurismo&#8217;s marine biologists that you can see in the poster below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"723\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-723x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-723x1024.png 723w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-768x1087.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-1085x1536.png 1085w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-1447x2048.png 1447w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-380x538.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-800x1133.png 800w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1-1160x1642.png 1160w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/5-Orca-poster-Ida-1.png 763w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This is an occasional species in the Azores, normally found in the months of March and April (curiously the time of year when tunas usually start to appear in the Azores).

It belongs to the suborder Odontoceti and the family Delphinidae.

In our waters, this predator prefers tuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the size of the orcas, it is the largest of the dolphins, it can reach a maximum size of 9.8m in males and 8.5m in females. As for weight, males can reach about 10,000 kg and females 6,000 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orcas show sexual dimorphism, which means that it is possible on the surface to distinguish whether they are male or female. It is quite easy, as adult males have a larger dorsal fin than the female, which can reach up to 1.8 m in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3.png\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"66579\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=66579\" class=\"wp-image-66579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3.png 1000w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3-380x285.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-3-800x600.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5.png\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"66581\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=66581\" class=\"wp-image-66581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5.png 1000w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5-380x285.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-5-800x600.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6.jpg\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"66587\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=66587\" class=\"wp-image-66587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/orcas-6-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude, we leave one more curiosity. Did you know that in captivity, due to the stress the animal is exposed to, the shallow depth of the tank and the temperature of the water, the dorsal fin tends to collapse?<br>In their natural habitat, orcas&#8217; dorsal fins tend to be erect due to the fact that these animals can dive up to 600 meters deep, being exposed to colder temperatures and increased pressure.<br>We also leave a suggestion about the problem of orcas in captivity.
