Do albino orcas survive well in the wild? I mean, they are apex predators with no natural enemies so them getting picked off from lack of camouflage shouldn't be an issue.

they survive just fine in terms of being easy to spot, but the real issue that large cetaceans like orcas face with albinism/leucism is...

sunburn!

unlike their naturally dark-backed relatives, these animals completely lack melanin and thus have ZERO protection from the rays of the sun, in an environment with literally no shade. (they can dive, but they're not spending enough time down there to make a whole lot of difference across the board)

sooooo repeated UV damage over their lifetime tends to just eventually give them skin cancer, which kills them.

sorry.

SO FOR ALL YOU HUMANS OUT THERE, A REMINDER:

complexity

[ID: Three panel comic. Crudely drawn stick figures represent people.

Panel 1: A lime green person is talking to someone whose color is approximately a warm grey tone.

Approximately warm grey: "You know, green is just not a very creative color."

Lime: "Excuse me?"

Approximately warm grey: "Unlike you simplistic primary greenies, nonprimary people such as myself have far more interesting chromatic alignments."

Lime: "I am going to lose patience with this very quickly, make your case immediately."

Panel 2: Zoom in on approximately warm grey.

Approximately warm grey: "Of course. I am medium-dark reddish cyan with warm-toned teal and cold sepia accents, and a dash of burgundy-toned light cornflower blue. It is a subtle, rich, complex colour with far more nuance than you can ever even begin to comprehend. Your limited, primary mind simply cannot process it. It is beyond you. You are beneath me."

Panel 3: Zoom in on lime.

Lime: "...Do you think lime green is a primary colour?"
