	False Killer Whale
		The false killer whale is named as such for the tendency of fishermen to confuse them with the killer whales as well as for its habit of using cooperative feeding techniques as it preys on smaller species of marine mammals.
		The word pseudorca is derived from the Greek word pseudos for "false" and the Latin word orca for "some kind of whale".
		Pseudorca have often been observed opportunistically attacking injured and confused dolphins escaping from purse seine nets in the Eastern Tropical Pacific tuna fisheries.

		Migration is not well documented, although it has been suggested that closely related globicephalid whales including Globicephala, Pseudorca and Grampus species in the western North Pacific move from warmer, southern waters in winter to cooler, northern waters in summer.
		Direct catch: Pseudorca are occasionally taken in Japan for food and in St. Vincent Island, Caribbean for meat and cooking oil (Jefferson et al.

		The false killer whale is named as such for the tendency of fishermen to mistake them for killer whales as well as for its habit of using cooperative feeding techniques as it preys on smaller species of marine mammals.
		The word pseudorca is derived from the Greek word pseudos meaning "false" and the Latin word orca which means "some kind of whale".
