Top 10 Ocean Predators

The Top Ten
1 Orca (Killer) Whale The Orca, or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca), is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. It is recognizable by its black-and-white patterned body. Orcas are a cosmopolitan species and can be found in all of the world's oceans, in a variety of marine environments, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas... read more

Killer whales work in pods and don't have any predator that hunts them. They are know as wolves of the sea because of their team work and bonding with their families. The great white shark is know as the greatest predator of the sea, or the megalodon shark (which now does not exist) but I bet even the megalodon can be eaten by killer whales which have a pod of at least 90 killer whales. Same with the great white shark. So that's why the true kings of the Seas are killer whales and they are the best creatures ever known.

The Orca or killer whale is a species of dolphins that live in pods. They are known as killer whales because they can kill whales. They can also kill the great white shark. It is surely the top predator of the seas.

The orca is the top preditor. The megaladon is extinct and it eats great white sharks.

2 Megalodon Shark

First of all, Megalodon belongs on the list because it is recorded as the biggest shark of all time. Second of all, regarding that last comment, we don't know for sure that Megalodons are extinct, as people believe there could be one in the Mariana Trench.

The megalodon shark can out size any animal with its masive jaws and extreme jaw pressure. It can also bite straight through the body of a whale.

3 Great White Shark The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the white shark, white pointer, or simply great white, is a species of large mackerel shark which can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans. It is notable for its size, with larger female individuals growing to 6.1 m (20 ft) in length and 1,905–2,268 kg (4,200–5,000 lb) in weight at maturity. However, most are smaller; males measure 3.4 to 4.0 m (11 to 13 ft), and females measure 4.6 to 4.9 m (15 to 16 ft) on average. According to a 2014 study, the lifespan of great white sharks is estimated to be as long as 70 years or more, well above previous estimates, making it one of the longest lived cartilaginous ...read more.

8 Giant Squid The giant squid is a deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae. Giant squid can grow to a tremendous size due to deep-sea gigantism: recent estimates put the maximum size at 13 m for females and 10 m for males from the posterior fins to the tip of the two long tentacles (second only to ...read more.
9 Bottlenose Dolphin

I've seen a video where a dolphin "saves" a trainer from drowning and it's staged so I'm not really impressed. However, Team SMSD ( a commenter) should get punched in the head. People can like what they want, b****!

22 Albatross Albatrosses, of the biological family Diomedeidae, are large seabirds allied to the procellariids, storm petrels and diving petrels in the order Procellariiformes. They range widely in the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific. These large birds normally are able to fly around the world without even flapping their wings. They use the wind to lift them so they can go long periods of time without touching ground.

They can actually be efficient predators if they want
