Orcas attacking a Great White Shark

When you think of top ocean predators, you probably think of sharks. That’s wrong!

Originally orcas, which are the largest members of the dolphin family, where called killer of whales. Then the name transformed into killer whales, leading to people to believe that they belong to the whale family... Well they actually eat whales and sharks as well!

I'm pretty sure the shark is the lead singer of the band and the orcas are back up singers.

It's sorta like saying that you don't eat pork because you only ate the rib meat lol

I heard that when sharks get to know orcas swim in a certain area, they panic and avoid this area for years.

Anyone else find orcas a bit scary? I know they're pretty intelligent creatures, but I also know they fuck shit up with no remorse.

Yes. While there hasn't been a recorded case of wild orcas killing humans (has happened in captivity), it's just the fact they are so intelligent and could make the conscious to do it at any time just because. Just watch how coordinated these guys are at taking out a seal stranded on ice.
