In Orcas, readers will discover the special abilities that these amazing animals have adapted to help them survive in their wild environment, what humans have trained them to do using their special skills and intelligence, and where their abilities are vastly superior to our own. Did you know that orca mothers teach their babies how to hunt, or that orcas can hear through their jawbone? The book also looks at how we have used technology to recreate orcas' abilities.
"The pages are filled with numerous colored photographs giving readers a close-up look at the animals. Text boxes are filled with facts throughout, breaking up the writing into digestible segments. Younger readers will need assistance, but will find much to enjoy in the series; older readers will find good information for reports." - Library Media Connection
