Watch killer whale hunt and eat great white shark in ‘astonishing’ two-minute attack

A killer whale hunts and eats a great white shark within two minutes in an “astonishing” attack.

Scientists have described the orca’s attack as “unprecedented”, showing the exceptional predatory skills of killer whales.

The attack was filmed off the coast of Mossel Bay, South Africa, in 2023.

Doctor Alison Towner, who is from Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa has studied the animals for several years, said: ““The astonishing predation, off the coast of Mossel Bay, South Africa, represents unprecedented behaviour underscoring the exceptional proficiency of the killer whale.”
