"The Impact of Orcas Predating on Great White Sharks on the Fishing Industry"

A recent study detailed a rare event of a lone male killer whale, known as Starboard, attacking and eviscerating a juvenile white shark off the coast of South Africa. This behavior challenges the conventional cooperative hunting behaviors of killer whales in the region and raises concerns about the larger ecosystem implications of shark-hunting killer whales. The loss of white sharks in South Africa's waters due to orca predation could disrupt the fishing industry and impact tourism, as well as raise concerns about the coastal marine ecology balance.
