Description
False killer whale tooth replica measures 3.5 x 1.1 x 1.1 inches. The Pseudorca crassidens is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from California Academy of Sciences specimen. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The false killer whales get their name from their orca-like skull shape, and while they adjust well to aquarium life, their habit of picking fights with other dolphins make them a tough addition to captive groups. These large dolphins are often avoided in exhibits due to this aggressive behavior toward other species.
Despite their occasional friction in captivity, they are highly social in the wild, often forming strong, stable bonds within their pods and actively share food, like tuna and squid with other pod members.
