Baby Orca Cried Out And Rescuers Rushed To Help, what followed next was totally unexpected!

What’s in a name?

In Latin, the killer whale or the orcas are called Orcinus orca. Orcinus can roughly be translated to “of the kingdom of the dead” and it is reasonable to assume that this name is derived from the Roman god of underworld Orcus. We think it compliments its fierce hunting prowls quite nicely.
