Colby examines the orca's role in various cultures, its portrayal in popular media, and the pressing challenges it faces in an era of climate change and habitat destruction. The story unfolds across the globe, from the icy waters of the Arctic to the bustling coasts of urban environments, highlighting the orca's adaptability and resilience.
