Great White Shark v Killer Whale: The two deadliest sea titans are now waging war on each other

For years scientists believed both killer whales and great white sharks were utterly untouchable at the top of the food chain but now they're locked in a fierce battle

They are two of the biggest – and deadliest – predators of all time.

For years scientists believed both killer whales and great white sharks were utterly untouchable at the top of the food chain.

But now these monsters of the deep are locked in a deadly battle for survival off the coast of South Africa.

The bodies of three great whites have washed up on beaches already during May.

That in itself is rare, but what really shocked scientists was that their livers had been removed with “surgical precision”.

Killer whales hunt in pods of up to 40, the article said.  Great white sharks are solitary for the most part.  Advantage whales.

Weren't there some 20-25 juvenile great whites spotted off LA or San Diego last week?

I guess Great White Shark livers are a delicacy for the Killer Whale.

Maybe "all liberals" should go to sea to protect the sharks.  :-)

The article said that the shark livers weigh 60kg or so, and that two orcas will pull the pectoral fins and pull the shark apart . . .
