TL;DR Summary

Rare footage captured by National Geographic shows a 60-year-old orca named Sophia taking down a great white shark, a behavior experts believe to be an anomaly. The orca's solitary hunting may be an adaptation caused by climate change, and while killer whales have been observed displaying aggressive behavior towards boats, experts emphasize that such incidents are different from their predatory behavior. The footage sheds light on the power and intelligence of orcas, challenging the perception of great white sharks as the top predators in the ocean.
