The killer whale has never killed a human being in the wild — not one confirmed case, ever. So why does an entire species carry a name built around murder?

In this episode of Silly Wilds, we break down why "killer whale" might be the most undeserved name in the animal kingdom. We look at how orcas hunt using taught, cultural techniques passed down through generations, why they're one of only a handful of species on Earth known to go through menopause, the extraordinary lifelong bond between mothers and sons, and the real, ongoing mystery of orcas ramming boats off the coast of Spain and Portugal that scientists still can't fully explain.
