ABC news reports “Images show a 60-year-old grandmother killer whale named Sophia battling with the shark in what scientists believe is the first time a single orca was captured on camera killing a great white shark.”
On average, orcas also known as killer whales, are twice as long and three times as heavy as great white sharks, making their difference in size and weight quite significant. The orca’s larger body mass and muscular build contribute to their ability to take down larger prey with relative ease.
