Killer whales / Orcas are known as "wolves of the sea".

They aren't seen all that much in freshwater though, it is considered unusual.

I wouldn't say your statement is accurate though with the "only" part. Wolves can easily kill caribou calves and sick/wounded adults. I don't think they will mess with healthy adults unless they can separate one from the herd.

No doubt the Orcas have the advantage when the Caribou are swimming though.
