Killer whale hunts and eats great white shark | BBC News
A solitary killer whale, or orca, has been filmed hunting and killing a great white shark in an “astonishing” attack off the coast of South Africa.
Scientists said it was “unprecedented” and showed the exceptional predatory skills of killer whales.
Two orcas in particular off South Africa’s coast have been observed before working together to hunt and kill sharks, including great whites.
Dr Alison Towner, a marine biologist from Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, led the study.
“This caught us off guard,” said shark biologist Dr Towner.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is preparing to launch his first orbital rocket into space on Sunday with his space company Blue Origin.
The launch at Cape Canaveral in Florida marks a major milestone for Blue Origin as it competes with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and the New Zealand firm Rocket Lab – both of which are already running missions for Nasa and others.
The spacecraft, named the Blue Glenn in honour of the first American to orbit the Earth, John Glenn, has taken a decade to perfect.
The launch was slated to launch on Friday before being pushed back to Sunday, at the earliest, due to weather concerns.
