Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are apex predators and do not directly obtain energy from the sun. They are part of the marine food chain and derive their energy from consuming other organisms, such as fish, seals, and squids. These prey animals, in turn, obtain their energy from the sun through photosynthesis in the case of plants and algae, or by consuming other organisms that have done so. Therefore, killer whales indirectly benefit from the sun's energy through the food web.
