It turns out, great white sharks are scared of something, too

[A HERETIC I AM]

14. That chemical is blood!

We probably saw the same show, though I think it was originally aired some time ago.

The one I saw was looking at tagged White Sharks that were congregated around the Farallon Islands, off San Francisco. As soon as the Orcas arrived, they killed a White and literally within minutes, every single Great White shark had buggered off to the west! They went deep and they went fast, straight toward Hawaii.

Orcas are absolutely fascinating. If I remember what I saw correctly, there are at least 3 distinct populations off the west coast of North and South America. They actually speak different languages. They have hunting styles and practices unique to their group. The ones that hunt the sharks have learned to turn the sharks over and put them into a catatonic state, as someone else mentioned. How did they learn to do that? And not all populations around the world do it, either.

Incredibly smart, communicative, family oriented animals, not unlike Elephants in their group or Pod structure.

And not one single incident in recorded history of an Orca intentionally hurting a human in the wild.
