- Full interview with captain Mick Minegoz, who witnessed the first known predation of an orca on a white shark at the Farallon Islands in 1997. Also appearing in the interview is James Moskito, then of Shark Diving International, now running Ocean Safaris.
I highly recommend this video which takes a detailed look at the frequency and locations of orcas preying on white sharks.
• Orca VS. Great White: ...
00:29 James introduces Mick
01:29 We saw the whole thing
01:45 Orca tears apart California sea lion
02:16 The orcas left the kill to interact with the boat
02:40 A white shark investigates the abandoned carcass, the orca responds
03:21 The orca begins showing off the trophy
03:37 Resident shark scientists Peter Pyle and Scott Anderson are not able to immediately come on site.
04:40 After the one orca has killed the shark and shown off its prize, both orcas proceed to tear the shark apart
05:10 Where's the footage?
06:10 Many people didn't realize the magnitude of the event at the time
07:45 Means of death? Orca interaction.
07:55 Note that at the Farallones a 12 foot white shark is considered small.
08:38 This was A5 of the LA Pod
08:56 These were transient orcas, the ones that eat marine mammals, but in this case they killed a shark. So was it mainly because the shark approached their food, thus they killed it, then went ahead and ate the liver since it was available?
10:15 How long did the orca "play with its food"?
10:48 It happened again a few years later and Mick was there again. DNA analysis confirmed the victim of the orcas was a white shark.

"So what was the cause of death?"
"Orca interaction." lol
Orcas in captivity sometimes place fish on the edge of the water to catch birds. This is the first time I've heard of them doing this in the wild. Really interesting.
You mean, you think the orca killed the sea lion to bait the shark?
@@saraconnely4180 I can't be sure. But what the fisherman said could also be true, that they were just guarding their food.
I think it's unlikely...killing the sea lion is a big task. Like they said, these are transient orcas that usually eat mammals so I think it's more likely that the mammal was the main target and the shark liver was a bonus after defending their kill.
Fascinating. We are so accustomed to watching shorts and videos that it is a pleasure to listen to storytelling.
Glad you enjoyed. Highly recommend this one ua-cam.com/video/lBJV_2RhgFs/v-deo.htmlsi=XwebTsmMEIJWWxYJ
Very interesting
Norm McDonald's uncle, the first person to ever see an Orca Killing a White Shark and eating its liver.
Lol....I can see that 😂
Funny, I just heard in the news that the first ever account of this was documented in 2023.

The fact that a mammal-killing transient orca was responsible for killing the white shark is a detail that should get more attention. Thank you for this interview!!!!
Shark was still intact so most likely blunt force trauma.

There was an interesting program about black tip reaf sharks around Africa hunting in packs and they believed they were signaling each other by chomping their jaws.
Was it protecting you?
Showing you the dead shark so you’d feel safe?
It's possible the Orca thought it could use the shark to lure the human in the boat over to the edge so it could grab him. Not sure but I say it because there's there's that video of the orca using a fish to lure the seagull closer and it ended up eating the seagull.

I think this video clip, only a week old will explain very clearly, how a Solo Orca can easily decimate a large shark. Enjoy..
Delusion.
sounds fishy
GW is a predator. Orcas no their competition also having her calf near by she had to protect it.
It’s not calf, and orca never kill great white.
