Cool video, thanks for sharing..!

Didnt watch the vid, but seen them do it to whites. Dont they go for the livers? Very precise in how they do it, Im sure one doco even mentioned they shared it in a sense socially amongst the pod.

I saw a video of orca chasing whales, they would chase them until they separated the calf from its mother and then drown the calf by stopping them come up for air. Then eat the tongue from the calf and leave. Very savage creature

Thanks for posting that. Looking at the way the shark has it's mouth open all the time I'd say it's already very tired from being chased for ............. quite a while. 

yes they may kill quite a few smallish sharks infact,

This mako shark, one of the most feared creatures of the sea, became the target of two orcas in an underwater encounter that saw the shark come off second best.

In the Bay of Islands in 1998, an orca made a ferocious attack on a mako shark. Held by the tip of the tail, the shark tried to escape. It broke free to ‘hide’ under a boat, but the orca pursued it, bit it around the girth, and descended with the shark in its mouth, regrasping it near the tail. A second orca joined in the attack, biting the shark on the head, and together the two descended while eating their doomed victim.

Steve Hathaway has been doing a fair bit of work with Ingrid Visser and was the first to witness (and film) orca eating stingrays.  (check out www.stevehathaway.com)  He has also been working with his daughter Riley to produce "Young Ocean Exploers" which has featured on What Now (sunday mornings) and has also been picked up by Air NZ for inclusion in its' inflight entertainment pack.

I was right about them being known to kill white pointers and eating only the liver. Seems more picky than some snapper fisherman ;-p
