Really? what about ORCA? they ply all waters including Arctic/Antarctic. Nothing and I mean NOTHING messes with these guys. Yep. Bite force > 19,000 pounds, super smart, hunt in packs, BIG & FAST... tell you what if you're an animal you better be one of US (as we're not on their menu). Otherwise look out!
