Orca VS. Jaws Episode 2

Episode 2 in this series takes a close look at each of the locations orcas have killed white sharks and asks how frequent this really happens

Below is a timestamp guide of everything contained in the video

00:00 Were you right about where you thought the Sophia footage was filmed? 01:00 Many news outlets are getting the public confused with Sophia in Baha and the orcas in South Africa. 01:50 This is NOT the first time this has happened. Not even close. Not the first time it has been witnessed. Not the first time a solo white shark has taken out a white shark. Not the first time orcas have removed the liver and left the rest. It is concerning that South African scientists are so anxious to make the news that they are publishing incorrect data. The Farallon incidents and the Baha incident all took place before the Mossel Bay incident that is in the news. 02:24 The first documented incident at the Farallon Islands in 1997 proves all three of the above wrong in itself. A few years later orcas killed another white shark at the Farallones, making it two cases of orcas preying on white sharks at that location alone well before these other incidents. 04:00 In EVERY case reported of white sharks being killed by orcas there have been multiple orcas present. No orca has even been truly hunting alone in these reported cases. Sometimes the whales gang up on the shark an sometimes only one in the group engages in the killing, but no orca has been alone. 04:27 Why am bothering to point this out? Because it has been suggested that the orcas labeled as "rogue" in South Africa, Port and Starboard, are possibly teaching other orcas to kill white sharks and even how to kill them in a one on one manner. This is based on incorrect and incomplete evidence. It is flat out wrong. It almost seems like fear-mongering focused at the orcas as being a threat to the marine ecology there. 05:00 The same scientists condemning the orcas were assembled by the South African government to present evidence that the fishing industry is NOT to blame, but the orcas are. When sharks have friends like this, who needs enemies? 05:50 Are you aware of the other scientists who don't agree with this data? 06:00 Begin the deep dive into all the locations this has happened and when. California, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, and likely New Zealand. Out of these, how many times did one orca do the killing? 08:00 4/5 places where white sharks and orcas are known to both frequent has had a documented case of orcas killing white sharks. 09:43 With the evidence available, do you think orcas do this more often than we are aware or is it as rare as the documented cases? 10:15 Why have we seen this more in South Africa? 11:45 The killer whale that killed the white shark at the Farallones was a transient, meaning it hunted marine mammals, not fish. Yet it killed the white shark on the spot as if it new exactly what it was doing. 12:39 Remember, the majority of the cases of white sharks that have apparently been killed by orcas were NOT witnessed, but are based on finding carcasses washed up on shore. This limits what we know about how the killing took place or even if some cases were scavenging events. 13:00 Will humans acknowledge their own role in changing the condition of the ocean and consequently the behavior of the animals in it?
