Orcas killing fully grown adult Great White Sharks

 Quote:Then there is this: My point exactly. This was a case of a full-grown ADULT female Orca that killed a very small 10 ft JUVENILE white shark. How does this prove anything? If anything, it only confirms what I said, that there's not a single case ever recorded of a lone Orca attacking an adult Great white shark. Even Dr Ingrid Visser - who's the worlds No.1 top leading Orca expert/authority - stated that when Orca's hunt even the small species of sharks, they're VERY CAUTIOUS and careful about how they do it, because they know just one bite from even a small sharks jaws, can cause bad damage. Now imagine the huge Great whites jaws. Ingrid Visser has observed more Orca predation on sharks than anyone on earth. @Rishi Quote:We don't do beliefs & point-of-views here friend. We deal with facts, statistics & observations. Yeah, I am stating the facts actually. Its a confirmed fact that there's not a single account ever recorded, of a lone Orca even attacking an adult white shark, let alone killing one. Quote:You were given a pass for being a new member... & your idea having merit. Well thanks, at least you acknowledged my idea had merit. Quote:Incorrect. There's been some semi-confirmed cases, brown bears would still be the safer bet. No in fact, your incorrect here. There are CONFIRMED cases of tigers killing large Brown bears. They're known for this. - This has also been stated by undisputed Russian authorities/biologists. And according to YOU, the Brown bear will be the safer bet. Looking at the evidence and statistics, the tiger wins most head-on fights against Brown bears. The tiger is the predator and the Brown bear is the prey. I have the evidence and accounts if you want to see it?...But I'm not here to discuss tigers & bears. Quote:Hardly enough to negate 2-4 tons of weight advantage, almost double, & Orcas' jaws would still kill just as well. Plus there is the issue of sharks blacking out if half for too long. Well, your entitled to your own opinion and I have no problem with that. However, you're completely wrong about the Orca's jaws killing just as good as the Great whites. The Orca's teeth/jaws are designed more for gripping the prey, not tearing out flesh. A white shark has huge serrated knives in its mouth - over 300 of them - which are perfectly designed to tear out huge chunks off flesh with ease. They're specifically designed for this. These jaws....  *This image is copyright of its original author Are much inferior to these jaws...  *This image is copyright of its original author A white sharks jaws literally jump out of its mouth, allowing it to take a much bigger bite out of an animal. - The Orca grips, tugs and then tears, and the Great white's jaws easily tear off a huge chunk of meat/flesh with one single bite! - Thats far more devastating. Quote:Not tested nor observed facts. Just possibilities. Actually Rishi, it is an observed fact by the worlds top leading Orca expert; Dr Ingrid Visser, who's witnessed tons of predations. And yes, Orca's only dominate over Great whites because they run in packs. I've never seen nor heard of a lone Orca ever attacking any huge animal, anywhere near 2 tonnes, like white sharks habitually hunt and kill. Orca's rely heavily on cooperation when hunting. This is what makes them intelligent, they know how to get the upper-hand over Great whites using the strength in numbers. And again, just so everyone knows....I'm not here to have a heated debate or flame-war with anyone, I'm here just to give my point of view on this topic, thats it. |
