A solitary killer whale, or orca, has been filmed hunting and killing a great white shark in an "astonishing" attack off the coast of South Africa.
Scientists said it was "unprecedented" and showed the exceptional predatory skills of killer whales.
Two orcas in particular off South Africa's coast have been observed before working together to hunt and kill sharks, including great whites.
Dr Alison Towner, a marine biologist from Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, led the study.
"This caught us off guard," said shark biologist Dr Towner.

    • An 8 feet long GWS is no problem for a solo attack but a GWS twice the size will need more than one orca to kill it. Orcas are intelligent enough to realise when prey of a bigger size requires more of them to kill it like they do with whales bigger than the orcas themselves hence why they're known as the wolves of the ocean that they hunt in packs.

The duo are identified as having rare and distinct collapsed dorsal fins and they are named for the nautical terms, as Port's fin collapses left and Starboard's collapses right. All types of liver are richer in vitamins and minerals than muscle meats and many fruits and vegetables. Liver contains plenty of protein, iron, and B vitamins.

The mother reacted by bumping that boat and because she is ALSO head of that family, they all did what she did. Now anytime a boat is near those waters, it gets attacked. Orca's are very emotional and are capable of holding a grudge. They never forget. So if they semce a boat is near, the family rallies together and attack it.
