Episode seven is finally here, so put on your winter jacket, boots, some socks under those boots, probably also some sort of shirt under that jacket, a pair of pants, maybe a pair of glasses or sunglasses too if you're blind or if that's just your thing, throw a cap atop your head, pop on a pair of ear muffs over your headphones and walk to the nearest ocean! And then start swimming towards the arctic, because this week we're reviewing the Killer Whale!
Are Killer Whales the best bet our oceans have of producing a top contender in the Animal War on War Apocalypse? Why is the sentence "Killer whales are kind of like R2-D2", not completely stupid? Where do babies come from? The answers to two of these questions, and more, are waiting for you on this week's Ranking The Kingdom.
