Orca whales can be found in almost every ocean or sea on Earth. Orca whales have the greatest habitat range out
of any other marine animal allowing them to truly dominate the waters. Their enormous range is what makes it so
hard to for marine biologist to reliably determine an accurate estimation of their population. They also have no
temperature and salinity preferences which contributes to their habitat range. They have the highest population
density in the Northeast Atlantic and the North Pacific, with a density of about than 0.40 individuals per 100 km².
It's also not uncommon for them to be found in the places like the Canadian Arctic or even Greenland.
