Orca's Unprecedented Solo Attack Kills Great White Shark

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have observed a lone Orca, named Starboard, attacking and killing a great white shark in South Africa, marking the first documented instance of such behavior in the region. The orca swiftly killed the shark and consumed its liver, a behavior that has raised concerns among scientists about potential disruptions in the balance of apex predators in the ocean, possibly due to human activities such as climate change and industrial fishing. The incidents of orcas preying on great white sharks appear to be increasing, posing potential threats to other species in the marine ecosystem.
