orca whales
Black and white
Orca whales are killer whales—the largest members of the dolphin family, known for their distinctive black and white coloring and apex predator status.
The phrase is slightly redundant since orca alone suffices, but it appears naturally in speech: We saw orca whales breaching off the coast.
