Yes, these animals are vertebrates because they do have an internal skeleton and a backbone made up of vertebrae plus the other characteristics of a vertebrate. Although they are called "Killer Whales", the Orca is not actually a whale. They are the largest member of the dolphins. Orca are dolphins, dolphins are mammals, all mammals are vertebrates.
