Killer Whale

ebook
The killer whale is one of the fastest mammals in the ocean. It moves through the water at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour—that's faster than a Bengal tiger runs. The killer whale's super speed helps it catch over 500 pounds of food a day! These are just some of the fascinating facts kids will discover in the world of these powerful ocean predators. Eye-popping photos and clear, easy-to-read text will engage emergent readers as they discover the anatomical features that help killer whales reach fast speeds. A "Speed-o-Meter" graphic compares the killer whale's top speed to that of other animals.
