Killer whales cause conflicting feelings in people - from fanatical love to hatred and fear, but few people are left indifferent. Someone represents them as "brothers in mind", for others they are insidious killer whales ... However, few people know what killer whales really are. How do they live and communicate with each other, what does a killer whale family look like, what distinguishes fish-eating killer whales from carnivores? Hardly anyone can talk about this more authoritatively and fascinatingly than biologist Olga Filatova, a specialist in the field of acoustic communication of mammals and the behavior of cetaceans. Together with her and her colleagues, the reader will go to the place where studies of killer whales and other cetaceans are conducted, will follow the progress of difficult and exciting expeditions. The work of a whale scientist has little of the romance that journalists and wildlife filmmakers ascribe to the profession. Many hours on the water and the agonizing wait for good weather on the shore, the bone-chilling cold and blinding sun, long unsuccessful searches and the everlasting feeling that you are missing something important in observations - this is what makes up the daily work of a whale researcher. But this routine is brightened up by the incomparable joy of discoveries, the knowledge of what no one has seen or described before you.
