One quote from @
"Yeah, because a white shark will NEVER catch a lone Orca alone, period. Orca's always travel in pods or pairs, now thats a 100% undisputable fact."
Well.....

Quote:
"But what really had Naturalist Kelsey and I scratching our heads was the lone adult killer whale we heard reports of about halfway through our whale watch today."
"And sure, it's not like this is the only time in the history of the world that this has happened. Perhaps this male had peeled away from his family pod for a bit to get some alone time hunting or looking for a mate. He's a grown male - maybe his mother and siblings were getting on his last nerves and he needed a break. Hey, don't we all sometimes!"
I posted this just to show, that while you write "fact", you in reality write only what is your opinion or hope.
Naturally great white shark could injure killer whale if getting a good bite. But that doesn´t mean, that it could get upper hand as species, no matter if meeting pod of orcas or a lone orca. Orca is bigger and what comes to intelligence, experts seem to be very unanimous, that it is also more intelligent.
Since all your claims are your opinions and you all the time claim to have facts, I say this now frankly. If you continue posting pure claims as so far, those posts will be deleted. And if you post to this thread something about tigers and bears, same thing. @Rishi instructed earlier where to post about those animals.
But from this point forward no more opinions stated as facts or moderation will happen. This should be fair enough warning because also @Rishi already said quite frankly about same.

Now video in my previous posting should work properly if trouble before.

Just have to put this one still here since Ingrid Visser was mentioned as an expert, which she is, and about orcas alone. Everyone can make their own conclusions what to think.
Quote: "But she will often venture off on her own, and spend time away from everybody. When she was only one year old, I discovered that she was already successfully hunting and capturing stingrays, a very high-risk prey item for any orca, particularly a young one like this. Pickle spends a lot of time with her older brother, Funky Monkey. Now, Funky Monkey also has a very distinctive dorsal fin, as you can see, and he has a very distinct personality, as well. The thing about Funky Monkey is that he really likes spending a lot of time with his younger sister, and of course that isn't common in any society, be that orcas, or us, but Funky Monkey is a really interesting guy, and when he spends time with Pickle, he will also food share with her, and provision her, providing her part of his catch. Now, Pickle, when she's off hunting for rays by herself, will often seek out other animals on the shore, like these sheep that you can see just standing underneath the trees, here, and she's very curious about them, and will stop and watch them. She loves rough weather, and she'll surf down waves, and she's often right out, in the front of the group, leading the way, as her family travels around New Zealand. And to me, Pickle really epitomizes the personality of an individual, and she expresses that in the way that she lives with her family, in this really complex, and really amazing environment that we have as our home."
