The pygmy killer whale is a small dolphin about two and a half meters long. It lives in warm oceans around the world and hunts fish and squids.
The pygmy killer whale differs from true killer whales in its small size and more slender body. It is important for the ocean as a mid-level predator that controls the population of fish and squids.
Hunts using echolocation.
