Astonishing footage has captured orcas hunting great white sharks, revealing a new level of marine predator behavior. Marine biologists observed a pod of orcas off the coast, expertly flipping young great white sharks onto their backs. This action stuns the sharks, leaving them defenseless. The orcas then slice open the sharks’ sides and consume their nutrient-rich livers. 
Orcas Display Remarkable Hunting Intelligence
This predatory technique highlights the intelligence and adaptability of orcas. Scientists note that orcas target the sharks’ livers because they are packed with energy-rich fats. The video evidence offers an unprecedented look at how orcas, also known as killer whales, have become apex predators by developing unique hunting strategies.

Experts believe these observations could change our understanding of the ocean’s food chain. The orcas’ ability to hunt one of the ocean’s most feared predators demonstrates their dominance in the sea. These findings may also explain recent declines in great white shark sightings in some regions.
