Scientists believe they have captured the first direct evidence of orca whales hunting and killing white sharks, with new drone and aerial footage demonstrating what had previously only been formally described by just three studies.
Orcas have been observed preying on other shark species, but direct observation of predation on great white sharks locally has been lacking until now.
A new study published in the journal of Ecology this week detailed killer orca attacks on white sharks off the coast of South Africa in May.
