As nature continues to surprise humanity with all its aspects, a recently published drone image has allowed us to see very rare moments. Orcas, known for hunting in perfect harmony in groups, hunted a great white shark.

The whales first hit the shark violently, causing it to bleed. Then they began to feed on the corpse of the shark, which died from the force of the blow and the loss of blood. But interestingly, the whales only ate the shark’s liver. Here’s an explanation from the world of science for this interesting image.

Those moments when killer whales hunt a white shark:

Michael Weiss of the Whale Research Center shared with Insider that the hunting behavior in the video isn’t exactly the first. An article published in 2019 was also proof of this. The article in question, which examined the corpses of stranded sharks, said that killer whales ate only the liver of their prey.

According to Weiss, killer whales’ cravings for liver stem from their predilection for high-calorie and fatty organs. Orcas target the livers of sharks, while the other prey species, gray whales, target the tongue and lips first. After the whales eat their favorite part of their prey, they go after another prey.

In addition, according to Weiss, most attacks in South Africa are caused by two orcas, dubbed port and starboard by scientists. In addition, the activities of this duo even drove great white shark whales from their area. White dogs were replaced by copper sharks. So only two killer whales affected the entire ecosystem.
