Quote HistoryQuoted: That pod of orcas which fucks up great white over a long standing blood feud are my favorite animals! Love those things. Maybe its because I'm terrified of sharks. I bet the giant squid is what got the meg, but I'm pulling for the orcas! With how huge the meg was, what all did it eat? Sperm whales love to screw with giant squids |

Quote HistoryQuoted: shark could have used a little situational awareness Pretty sure that shark was already on Queer Street, and the video just show the knockout. Likely the commotion that alerted them to get it on video. |

Looks more like a dolphin than a shark to me. It has a long snoot for a shark.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Totally agree. First world zoos are very well-run, but they don't have the space to simulate living in the wild. Only large game preserves do that well.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Megalodon QUITE a bit bigger. 52' - 82'. In pod form MAYBE orcas harrasing and killing megs. But one on one I can't see that happening. Even the mighty mosasaur couldn't likely deal with megalodon. I'm no scientist but two apex predators, with one being far larger than the competition. Now maybe orcas could "out eat" the megs and starve them, but eating up all the food that the megs ate. Eat the young megs, problem goes away. |

You have to take into account that Megalodons weren't born 50' long and one of the most difficult things to do in the wild for "big" animals is to defend their young from smaller, faster, pack predators. It's basically the entire reason for "herd" behavior, which I doubt Meg participated in but who knows. Tougher to do in 3d than on land anyway. |

I don't know what the appropriate comparison is on land or if it even exists. Big sharks are tough and nasty but not smart agile and fast like an Orca. |

I believe there were two buddy Orcas that roam the ocean in South Africa that hunt for fun. Victims were Great White Sharks. And the way they remove the livers as trophies were done with precision.

I was having breakfast at a restaurant on the harbor in Kodiak. For about 5 minutes or so I watched an Orca play toss the seal in the harbor. Seal was getting launched a good 15 feet repetitively by the Orca.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Speed, surprise and violence of action. Orcas are master strategists. Imagine fighting and army of men with that strength and mindset. Yet they wisely leave man alone. I can’t help but think they are keenly aware of what we could do to them. Humans can go almost anywhere and generally all predators avoid them. Exceptions for diseases and cubs / etc - even those are a rarity. Yet humans are typically easy prey without weapons or numbers. ”“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” Genesis. |
