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. “But this caught us off guard,” said shark biologist Dr Alison Towner.

NOT really Whales: Orcas, or killer whales, are part of the dolphin family, known for their intelligence and complex social structures. They have evolved over millions of years, adapting to a wide range of marine environments. Orcas are highly intelligent, capable of problem-solving, social learning, and exhibiting sophisticated hunting strategies. Their social behavior and communication skills are particularly advanced, with different pods having unique dialects. This combination of evolutionary adaptation and cognitive ability makes orcas fascinating subjects of study in marine biology and animal behavior.
