In the natural world no animal is truly safe.
most animals have to fear large predators or battle natural enemies and this is why weak or old animals don't last long.
apex predators are one the few groups of animals that have little to fear but even these creatures battle other predators and members of their own species.
Apart from humans orcas are possibly the most dominant animals on this planet.
They have no natural predators and because they're social animals and live in groups, their young and sick are rarely targeted by other predators.
Orcas prey on pretty much anything they wish to and this means that they are the sole predator of many species around the world.
In today's video we will be taking a look at 4 different groups of animals that are only really targeted by orcas and we will start off with some marine mammals.
