"Solitary Orca's Swift Victory: Killing a Great White Shark in Under 2 Minutes"
TL;DR Summary
New footage captures a lone orca hunting and consuming a great white shark in just 2 minutes, marking the first record of a single orca killing a great white without the help of its podmates. The incident, which took place off the coast of South Africa, has led great whites to abandon a popular hunting ground due to orca predation. Scientists speculate that orcas target sharks' fatty livers due to their high nutritional value, and this behavior could have important conservation implications for shark species already facing man-made pressures.
