Are Orcas Really "Killer" Whales?

Orcas are the largest species of dolphin. But if orcas are dolphins, why are orcas called killer whales? Should we stop calling them killer whales and call them orca instead?

All whales, dolphins, and porpoises are classified as whales in the Cetacea order. In the Cetacea order are two suborders: Mysticeti and Odontoceti. Mysticeti are baleen whales like humpbacks and blue whales that use baleen plates to sieve planktonic creatures like krill from the water. Odontoceti are toothed whales like beluga whales, sperm whales, porpoises, and dolphins. Rather than baleen plates, these whales all have teeth that they use to catch prey like salmon, squid, other marine mammals, and even shellfish like clams and mussels. So all dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphins. Which means killer whales are both dolphins AND whales. Most marine biologists call orcas killer whales because that is their official English name and one used by scientific institutions like the NOAA and the DFO Canada. We don't typically use the Latin names of animals. I believe it is more harmful to pretend that orcas aren’t dangerous. Because that just invites behavior like when a man jumped on an orca. It’s why I push back when people get mad at me for saying the Gladis orcas are sinking yachts when they’ve “only” sunk 5 out of the 700 they’ve interacted with. Because people need to give these wild animals space. Vessel strikes and noise pollution are serious threats to all marine mammals. And studies have also shown that killer whales hunt less and travel greater distances when ships are present. Cited Sources: [1] https://globalnews.ca/news/10516833/m...
