Is killer whale a endangered animal?

In: Orcas [Edit categories]

As a species, no. But some local populations may be in some trouble. The IUCN lists this species as "Data Deficient', meaning that the species may have more than one subspecies, so local population trends may be hard to analyse as to which population is threatened.
