The '''[[West-Antarctic Treaty]]''' is a major treaty signed by seven rival [[micronations]] who were all claimants to overlapping territories in the [[Marie Byrd Land]] region of [[Antarctica]].
The '''[[Orca]]''' is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey.

Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as seals and dolphins. They have been known to attack baleen whale calves, and even adult whales. Killer whales are apex predators, as there is no animal that preys on them.
