  • This comes to prove the false statement that sharks are not today's top predators. THat role belongs to the orca and has been when it competed with the last of the Megalodon's between 2-1.5 million years ago, when the Meg's died out.

  • @Weslo2 yeah i saw that too. the most impressive thing about them is that they originally evolved 2 million years a go to eat fish, cause all the megalodon pups were killing seals, dolphins, etc. Then when fish went low, orcas branched out and started eating other animals, including whales. They obviously had problems with megalodon, so they did what other predatory whales before them didn't do: they stalked pregnant females to their birthing grounds and killed as many pups as possible.

  • @Orcaluv26 not sure :) I'd still go for the orca's though =D

    they are fierce, remember watching a documentary of them trying to hunt a baby sperm whale, when the sperm whale pod came and formed a protective circle, the thing said Orca's are relentless and if they wanted they could kill the whole pod

    not to mention they are smarter than great whites

    they have a technique to flip sharks on their back before killing them (shark is pretty defenseless when upside down) almost immobilized

  • @Weslo2 my point exactly as to why the copper sharks are at bay. normally, they'd be in a feeding frenzy when a dead dolphin is nearby and would ignore predators, but this lone male orca is so massive and intimidating, he instills fear even into packs of 5-6 sharks. makes you imagine what the sharks would have done if the entire pod decided to come with the male orca.

  • @Orcaluv26 yes! plus orcas have been known to kill modern sharks like great white

  • Now isn't it illegal to feed dolphins?

  • hi, well you got more? this looks like sharks in the background, and the dolphin was dead already. were did you shoot the footage? and when??

  • Is this slow motion?
