☆ Lone orca slays great white in less than two minutes and feasts on its liver
  + stars: | 2024-03-01 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Scientists witnessed one of the hunters, a male orca known as Starboard, single-handedly kill a 2.5-meter (8.2-foot) juvenile white shark within a two-minute time frame last year. “Over two decades of annual visits to South Africa, I’ve observed the profound impact these killer whales have on the local white shark population. A second great white shark carcass washes ashore in June near Hartenbos, South Africa. It wasn’t until 2022 that aerial footage first captured the orcas killing a great white shark, Towner said. 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.

☆ Rare video shows an orca ripping open a 30-foot-long whale shark before feasting on its liver

Divers captured rare footage of a gruesome killer whale hunting technique. An orca off the coast of California was seen "slurping" the liver of a live shark. The gruesome footage shows an orca tearing into the stomach of a 30-foot-long whale shark before removing its liver. "Looks like they slurped in the liver and then the whale shark just fell and descended down, with no movement — I'm assuming it was dead," he said. Shortly after the encounter, another orca killed another whale shark nearby.

☆ Rare footage shows 3 orcas killing a great white shark to eat its liver, supporting theory about why the species is fleeing South African waters

Stunning drone footage shows an orca carrying a great white shark in its mouth as blood pooled. A study published last month suggested orcas had driven great whites from South African waters. Suddenly, a third orca rises from the depths, carrying a 9-foot-long great white shark in its mouth. Great white sharks are considered apex predators, meaning they have no known predators; however, researchers have identified rare occurrences of them being preyed upon by orcas. The researchers noted carcasses of dead great whites had been washing ashore with their livers ripped out and, for some, without their hearts.
