Orcas evoke contradictory feelings in people - from fanatical love to hatred and fear, but few people are indifferent. Someone imagines them as "brothers in reason", for others they are insidious killer whales ... However, few people know what orcas are really like. How do they live and communicate with each other, what does an orca family look like, what distinguishes fish-eating orcas from carnivorous ones? Hardly anyone can tell about it more authoritatively and fascinatingly than biologist Olga Filatova, a specialist in the field of acoustic communication of mammals and cetacean behavior. Together with her and her colleagues, the reader will travel to the places where research on killer whales and other cetaceans is being conducted, and will follow the course of difficult and exciting expeditions. There is little romance in the work of a whale scientist, ascribed to this profession by journalists and wildlife movie makers. Many hours on the water and languid waiting for good weather on the shore, cold and blinding sun, long unsuccessful searches and the everlasting feeling that you are missing something important in the observations - this is what the daily work of a whale researcher consists of. But this routine is brightened by the incomparable joy of discovery, of learning what no one has ever seen or described before.
