Killer whales, or orcas, have the second-biggest brains among all ocean mammals, weighing as much as 15 pounds. It's not clear whether they are as well-endowed with memory cells as humans, but scientists have found they are amazingly well-wired for sensing and analyzing their watery, three-dimensional environment
Scientists are trying to better understand how killer whales are able to teach one another specialized methods of hunting and pass on behaviors that can persist for generations — longer possibly than seen with any other species except humans.
"Culture is about learning from others," Whitehead said. "A cultural species starts behaving differently than a species where everything is determined genetically."
Equally remarkable to researchers is the orca's ability to communicate with whistles and pulsed calls, and to "see" by making a clicking sound that works like sonar.

Many cetaceans — whales, dolphins and porpoises included — have these abilities to some degree. But orcas learn local and complex languages that are retained for many generations. And their bio-sonar, or echolocation, abilities also amaze researchers.
orca brain has a relatively smaller amount of cerebral cortex — the gray matter involved in memory, attention and thought — than the human brain does. But it has large-diameter myelinated axons, which carry nerve impulses.
"It's analogous to a computer that has maybe less memory but bigger wires," said Ridgway, who puts a high value on being able to work with orcas in captivity. "The bigger the axon, the faster the nerve impulses travel."ghabeliati ke gaho bigah mikhre be hashie pardazi
It's a wild animal to begin with, and it has predatory behaviors that are well-known," Hof said. "It is pos
