      @@andapandacongufanda fun fact: great white sharks die if they're scared or sad. There are cases of adult great whites put in zoos where they got so stressed and afraid of everything that they passed away in less than a day of captivity. And the baby sharks get stressed when they can't swim away and hide deep down when they see something they believe it's a threat.

      @@kingghidorah8106 I didn't realize there was a neurological/psychological aspect, that makes it much more sad... I thought it was simply a matter of them being conditioned from millions of years to travel thousands of miles of open ocean, so the concept of being caged in glass is so alien to them that they keep hitting the walls of their enclosure until they kill themselves. Either way, it's terrible, and I'm glad it has been banned.
      Don't get me wrong, I'm still terrified of sharks, however irrational that may be, but I still think they're beautiful and should be given dignity and respect.

    it is funny because great white sharks do have more complex feelings than the average shark. They even know how to hide frustration when they meet a competitor. Opening your mough against someone larger than you would be considered a middle finger in shark language, so when a bigger shark steals from the smaller shark the smaller shark often waits til the bigger shark is no longer watching and opens it's mouth towards the stealer. Bigger sharks can open their mouth to smaller sharks to see because they are not a threat.

Orcas typical size 6-8 meters for male and 5-7 for female, 3628 - 5443 kg for males, 2267 - 3628 kg for females. Max size for each - great white shark 5.83m 2000kg, orca 9.75m 10000kg. Looking at both length of body and weight, orcas especially males are nearly 2x the length, while weight is anywhere from 3x to 8x depending on which genders u're comparing, as orcas have bigger males while gws have bigger females. So yeah 2x the size is fair if u take into account weight as well. Even without tonic immobility orcas would have no trouble beating up a great white shark most likely. They hunt in groups just like lions, but even in 1v1 the weight difference is just massive, there's a reason there's weight classes in sports.

But well... after Jaws happened... let's say that the average size for all sharks dropped. They take a long time to grow. Orca's sure don't help with their current population.
      It's a good thing that Orca's at least leave the "fully" grown great whites alone since they are still dangerous to tussle with.
