Unlike the killer whale, their flippers are slim pointed rather than blunt. They prefer the deep water of the ocean where it makes meals of squid and fish. False killer whales are exceptionally active and playful. They may make sudden stopper turns and approach boats to investigate, bow-ride, and wake-ride.
