It took less than two minutes for a killer whale to attack and devour a great white shark.The incredible collision, which occurred on June 18, 2023 off the coast of South Africa, was documented in the African Journal of Marine Science.This is a valuable document for scientists, offering new insights into the predatory behavior of orcas.According to what the Guardian, this is the first time that a solitary killer whale attack on a great white shark, the largest predatory fish in the world, has been documented.The report drawn up by the scientists states that the orca "grabbed the shark's left pectoral fin and pushed forward several times before disembowelling it".Less than two minutes later, she walked away with “a piece of peach-colored liver in her mouth,” while the carcass of the young white shark appeared on the ocean surface.The killed specimen was about two and a half meters long and weighed about 100 kilograms.Overall, this is a small size for its species, considering that great white sharks can reach up to 6.5 meters in length and 2.5 tons in weight.
