Orcas killing fully grown adult Great White Sharks

First that tiger-brown bear issue has been discussed many times, your claims aren´t anything new, this issue has been discussed countless times and all cases are known here. I wrote what I wrote knowing all what you could bring on table in that and Rishi knows also, should I say too well all what there is. So for me that tiger-brown bear claim of yours proves nothing and it is really worn out topic, same old sources recycled countless times. So no need to do that again.

Then what comes to 10 feet great white shark. Male great whites aren´t so big, when adult, 10-13 feet. But if you missed it, it was one orca making an attack and killing a shark. My point was to show to you, that your claim, that orcas hunt great white sharks only in groups is controversial. They seem to do those attacks alone and in pods. And that sized great white shark could have been adult easily. Not all great white sharks are 20 feet, that demands an older female to reach such measurement. It is quite difficult for orcas to attack that big sharks, when finding one can be like winning in lottery for us :)

More interesting topic, which wouldn´t be only hypothetical would be, imo, shark-dolphin interactions. Not much to talk about orcas and great white sharks, when all observations and studies point out, that there is no contest.

1) I guarantee you guys, I can show you data and accounts of tigers killing Brown bears that you've never seen before. I have plenty of scientific data/studies which shows that in some months, bears make up a LARGE SIGNIFICANT portion of the tigers diet. Primarily in the summer months. In fact, one male tiger was even observed and documented to habitually kill and eat Brown bears more than anything else during the summer months. Summer is the time when bears are at their largest and strongest, and that still doesn't stop the tiger from hunting them. If you wanna see the accounts/studies, then I can post them if you want?...

Also, its not a "Tiger-Brown bear claim" of mine. What I stated is an established FACT. I have the evidence and accounts. I'm not just making empty claims.

2) There's no way a small 9 - 10ft white shark is a full-grown adult. I've seen countless documentaries, where huge male white sharks, up to 18 ft have been observed and filmed. (Slash is one example) The shark from the infamous Farallons incident was a juvenile Great white, not an adult. I've seen it stated in a documentary referring to that specific case. On top of that, the Orca ambushed it.

Of course there's no contest, because Orca's have a huge advantage when travelling and hunting cooperatively in pods. - Their called the "Wolves of the Sea" for a good reason.

And Shadow, I'm glad you ain't getting triggered or annoyed. At the end of the day, we all have our opinions. I just see it this way very clearly to me, when I observe the facts and accounts. A forum is meant for discussions like this. Reply
