Orcas vs Great White sharks! Finally, there is genetic evidence of proof of predation.
Did you know killer whales (Orcinus orca) are taking down great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in South Africa? 🦈🐋 In this video, we break down groundbreaking research that provides genetic evidence of orcas hunting and preying on white sharks! Scientists analyzed bite wounds on a white shark carcass and found killer whale DNA, confirming this apex predator battle.
Why does this matter? The absence of great whites in certain areas due to orca predation could change entire marine ecosystems! 🌊 Discover how this interaction reshapes the ocean food chain, why orcas target shark livers, and what it means for conservation.
