Are Killer Whales Killer?

Killer whales appear as black all over the body with prominent white patches above eyes and lower jaw to the belly areas.  Killer whale's flippers are huge and shaped like oval. Male killer whales can measure up to 30 feet long and weight up to 11,000 pounds.


According to National Geographic:
Orcas, or killer whales, are the largest of the dolphins and one of the world's most powerful predators. They feast on marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and even whales, employing teeth that can be four inches (ten centimeters) long. They are known to grab seals right off the ice. They also eat fish, squid, and seabirds.

So why are they called killer whales?  They are called killer whales because they are the top predator in the ocean. Killer whales are in the dolphin family and they are actually friendly. They are the largest in that family too. Killer whales can see very well above water as well as in the water.


This marine species has been featured in National Geographic and in the movie Free Willy. If you want to broaden your knowledge about them or even want to see one personally, you can check this website. They are very knowledgeable when it comes to marine species.

Wanted: Home Renovator In Toronto

I love my house. It is a great home with beautiful wood floors, white carpet and three bedrooms. This was perfect for me, my husband and my two daughters, Sarah and Ashley. When Mike was born, however, my husband and I realized that we would need more space in our house.









We talked a little bit about moving, but then decided against it. We really want to stay in our current home in Toronto. We do, however, know that we are going to need more space to stay eventually. While Sarah and Ashley like sharing a room right now, they are not going to likely want to do that as teenagers. 



My husband and I decided that it was time to contact a home renovator in Toronto who could help us add onto our current house. Right now we are thinking of adding on a simple bedroom or adding on a luxurious, customized master bedroom for us. We are not sure which one we will choose yet, and would love some advice on this. 



It is difficult finding a home renovator in Toronto. I am not entirely sure how to begin researching it. Does anyone know the best way to start this home renovation that my husband and I want to do? 

If you check this website, then surely you can find the best home renovation service that you always wanted.
