Killer whale

The killer whale (Orcinus orca) was an aquatic mammal indigenous to Earth. It was a cetacean species.

When Spock tried to match the sound of the Whale Probe to the sound of an Earth animal aboard the Klingon Bird-of-Prey HMS Bounty, a killer whale was one of the lifeforms shown. 

Three huge models depicting a killer whale family were on display in the Cetacean Institute in San Francisco in 1986. 

In 2293, Captain James T. Kirk's quarters aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) featured a black and white painting of a pair of killer whales.
