How long does it take for a killer whale to be full grown?

How long does it take for a killer whale to be full grown?
A: About ten years. Male killer whales average 22 to 27 feet 96.7 to 8.2 m) and usually weigh between 8,000 and 12,000 pounds (3,628 to 5,442 kg). Females average 17 to 20 feet (5.2 to 6.1 m) and usually weigh between 3,000 and 8,000 pounds (1,362 to 3,628 kg). As a male killer whale grows to adulthood it gains weight, and its pectoral flippers, dorsal fin and tail flukes grow larger than those of females.

Do killer whales kill and eat sharks?

Sometimes, but they probably don't do it very often. Killer whales usually eat fish, and sometimes seals, sea lions or even whales or dolphins. You may be surprised to learn that even thought they are the top predator in the sea, ill, injured, or very young killer whales may be prey for some large species of shark
