Alison Towner, a scientist based in South Africa, has been studying the movement ecology of great white sharks for 15 years and has published a recent paper on the orcas’ shocking predation of ...
English: Comparison of size of killer whale (Orcinus orca) and great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias).This image assumes an average length of 4.6 metres for a great white shark (males measure 3.4 to 4.0 m (11 to 13 ft), and females measure 4.6 to 4.9 m (15 to 16 ft) on average), and 6.5 metres for a killer whale (males typically range from 6 to 8 metres (20 to 26 ft) and females from 5 to ...
Comparison of the size of an average orca and an average great white shark. Interspecific competition between the great white shark and the orca is probable in regions where dietary preferences of both species may overlap. [130] An incident was documented on 4 October 1997, in the Farallon Islands off California in the United States.
The kill by a lone orca might have been made possible by the prey’s smaller size as a juvenile great white, according to the study. Adult great whites have a maximum length of 6.5 meters (21.3 ...
This is the first time orcas have been documented using this precision feeding technique in this region. [11] Starboard was first filmed via drone killing a great white in May 2022 around Mossel Bay, alongside four other orcas [12] – this was the first time ever this predation has been filmed. After the attack, white sharks in the area fled ...

Great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) and killer whales (Orcinus orca) are plausible, albeit undocumented, predators of the porbeagle. In one record, a small individual caught off Argentina bore bite marks from a copper shark ( Carcharhinus brachyurus ) or similar species, but whether the porbeagle was the target of attempted predation or ...
