Three different types of killer whales can be found in the Salish Sea. They don’t mix, even though they look similar to humans and live in the same place. They are genetically distinct, and they don’t breed with one another. They have different calls, different behavioral patterns, and they eat different prey.

Because of their very different diets, they also have different teeth. The examples below are extreme, but can you guess which teeth belong to which killer whale ecotype?

Which one looks most robust for eating mammals?
