Fact of the Day: Orca Names
Orcas are commonly known as killer whales. Though they also have the nick-names blackfish and grampus.
One member of the marine family that you don't want to be near. They are deadly serious with a capital "D" for deadly. Readers may find this interesting - "Old Tom". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Tom_(killer_whale)
Thankfully they are not a menace to Australian beaches, but they have been observed off shore. B J Hunicut aka Colin
ooo, and your cute remark that i could invite Frosty the Snowman to a pool party has me wanting to get out in the COLD and build a snowman...hahhaa....too cute
Yes they are beautiful in their natural habitat and not as performing "sea clowns" in restricted places like Sea World!!! But just remember - they are extremely dangerous. B J Hunnicut aka Colin

Didn't know all those names!
Interesting! Orca definitely sounds much less foreboding than "killer whale."
