The False Killer Whale (''Pseudorca crassi … The False Killer Whale (''Pseudorca crassidens'') is a cetacean, and the third largest member of the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae). It lives in temperate and tropical waters throughout the world. As its name implies, the False Killer Whale shares characteristics such as appearance with the more widely known Orca (killer whale). Like the orca, the False Killer Whale attacks and kills other cetaceans. However, the two species are not closely related.
The False Killer Whale has not been extensively studied in the wild; much of the data about it has been derived by examining stranded animals. The species is the only member of the Pseudorca genus.(Source:Wikipedia) of the Pseudorca genus.(Source:Wikipedia) +
