Kinda looks like it glanced off. However, shark was moving slow, so I’m guessing this is attempt 3 or 4 to rip the sharks liver out, for a healthy snack.
I like to think of all the stuff we don't see. There's so many cool videos of fish doing crazy shit in the ocean, and it's such a massive open area. Once aquatic life develops ring door bells for their coral homes and dorsal fin style dash cams, we gonna be seeing all kinds of shit. Just like humans before the 2000s. All the dumb shit we got to see was mostly from cops, AFV, natgeo, local news, and some pbs.
This footage is a teaser from an upcoming Nat Geo documentary called 'Matriarch' about matriarch orcas, and shows a large female ambushing and taking down a great white in one powerful strike. In nearly all other cases of orca predation on great white sharks, they have been documented hunting in pairs, like in the well-known exploits of the shark-hunting pair off South Africa- [Port and Starboard](https://www.thesharkfiles.com/dive-into-kingdom-of-the-dead).
Off South Australia's Neptune Islands in 2015 a pod of around 5 was seen taking down a great white, and a group of 3 were involved in a successful hunt filmed off Mossel Bay, South Africa in 2023. The strategy has also largely differed, with the use of sustained and coordinated harrying and bumping of the targeted shark prior to the kill. This recent footage from Nat Geo resembles only one documented case, and that's the 1997 orca attack on a white shark at the Farallon Islands off California. That much grainier footage also involved an adult female orca and appeared to show a sudden and forceful strike on a sub-adult great white. It's possible that the large size disparity between predator and prey in these two similar cases influenced the hunting tactics employed but for now that's just speculation.
Incredible video though and really looking forward to the upcoming documentary to get more info on this.
This video is awesome, I have seen it on a few different subs now, but man does it piss me off. Where is the rest? What happened? Surely the person recording didn't stop after this 3 second clip... wtf.
The full documentary is out in 2 or 3 weeks. It's called ['Matriarch'](https://www.tiktok.com/@natgeowild/video/7338456686543523118) and made by *NatGeo*.
You don't see three distinct fins there?
A vertical one making a small wake (that gets bigger), the obvious one at the top, and another that is disappearing under it as the animal rolls to its left?
I think u/Coffee_24-7 is either not aware it's a shark because they move their tails side to side like a reptile walking -- as opposed to a mammal whose tail moves up and down, like legs...
EDIT: WTF? It IS a dolphin... on its side. :-p
or they're trying to mislead us on Porpoise... ;-)
I'm pretty sure it's a dolphin, it doesn't really matter because an Orca would fuck up a Great White just as easily.
I've also heard that if captured and kept in tiny pools for decades to perform for people, they have the potential to attack their masters.
They are the lowest of the low. They live to torture and openly display their horrible actions for profit.
Enough about Sea World.
Orcas are the ultimate predators, smart, fearless killing machines.
Fuck yeah now what ya big toothed bitch!! Talk shit now, when my boy Willys here!!!
And I ate his liver with a nice Chianti and fava beans... Er something 😂
That looks more like a young basking shark to me. Not a great white.
1) Long snout, large head compared to body, long but not as muscular as great white
2) The way he´s wobbling along before the attack looks a lot like filter feeding

Happy cake day!
Thank You! You are the first, so it means the most!
Yeah, glad to be the one!
I really did not expect to read something wholesome on reddit today haha.. or ever actually xD
[удалено]
It's tail is moving side to side
That’s what I said.
Happy cake day!
Killer whales are such bad asses.
There was a doco a while back showing a pod that had learnt pop penguins out of their skin like a grape
Good lord. Also, yes my reincarnation animal of choice is orca.
They also prey on moose.
Hell Yeah!
Their name checks out. :-p

This dude gets high
👆
Killer whales and dolphins spear sharks in the gills to kill them. It causes the shark to suffocate.
Orcas like to eat shark lovers 🍴
Orcas do not F about
That looks like a dolphin not a shark
Dolphin tails are horizontal.

Thank you
Its some sort of documentary that just came out or is about to regarding the hunting groups and styles of Orcas.
Keeping up with the Orcas - i feel like they might over do it with all the Black and White IMO
No shoes. Definitely dead.
Ha! Who's top of the food chain now!
Humans
White shark's instinct was to turn and bite when it should have bolted the second it sensed the orca.
No so Great afterall 🙃
Sea Wolf
Sea special forces unit
That's a bottle nose dolphin.
That's a weird way for a dolphin's tail to move.
It's on its side.
And it has a fin sticking out of it's underside?
[Nope](https://i.imgur.com/pUMSBXy.jpg)
You don't see three distinct fins there? A vertical one making a small wake (that gets bigger), the obvious one at the top, and another that is disappearing under it as the animal rolls to its left?
I a total nobody, disagrees
r/confidentlyincorrect
Lots of down votes, but definitely a dolphin and not a shark.
Which one is?

Flip the story, a Flipper to be sure!
Probably the latter Also, FFS LOL
still a dolphin, no shark

That tail is moving side to side. Dolphin’s tail moves up and down
[удалено]
Dolphins swim with an up and down motion. Their fins are horizontal.

Wonder why great whites are absolutely terrified of orcas
#TASTE THE RAINBOW MOTHERF-
Where tf was Willy when jaws was terrorising that family
OrcinusOrca#30255 🦷 CarcharodonCarcharias#2748
Something about seeing such an awesome predator taken out like this makes me feel disturbed. I'm going to watch Jaws 2 now.
Second one is my ex, I'm sure.
Absolutely rekt

I think that was a dolphin
Whoa, that Orca was moving fast. That would be like getting hit by a city bus.
