How Orca Echolocation Works: 1. Clicks Emitted: Orcas produce rapid clicking sounds using an organ called the phonic lips, located near their blowhole. 2. Sound Travels: These clicks travel through water and hit objects. 3. Echo Returns: The sound reflects back to the orca. 4. Melon Focuses Sound: Orcas have a fatty structure in their forehead called the melon, which focuses the outgoing sound waves. 5. Received by Jaw: The returning echoes are received through the lower jaw, which conducts vibr

Catch me if you can…🐋 Orcas (Orcinus orca) hunt by echolocation, a technique that uses sound waves and echoes to identify and locate prey.

They also use: • Depth (some species swim deeper) • Movement patterns • Body size & shape Put together, these clues help orcas choo
