The false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) is the fourth-largest dolphin, a member of Delphinidae, the oceanic dolphin family. False killer whales live in temperate and tropical waters throughout the world. As its name implies, the false killer whale shares characteristics with the more widely known killer whale; as well as similarities in appearance, both species attack and kill other marine mammals.
