Genetic Evidence of Killer Whale Predation on White Sharks in Australia
ABSTRACT Killer whales (Orcinus orca) have been documented to prey on white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias), in some cases causing localised shark displacement and triggering ecological cascades. Notably, a series of such predation events have been reported from South Africa over the last decade, wi...
