FKWs are smaller and slimmer than killer whales and do not have white patches on their bodies. In 1846, scientists Richard Owen, John Edward Gray, and Johannes Theodor Reinhart found that the FKW skull highly resembled a killer whale's skull, and thus gave this species its name: the “false killer whale.”
Researchers who have studied the false killer whale have labeled them as non-aggressive. They're incredibly sociable and playful; it's not uncommon to see the false killer whale interacting with pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins.
