A pilot whale breaks the ocean surface. Pilot whales are among the largest members of the dolphin family, exceeded in size only by the orca (killer whale). They feed primarily on squid, but will also hunt various fish. Highly social, they may remain with their birth pod throughout their lifetime. Image courtesy of NOAA / Adam Li.
