I find myself shaking my head over this. It says this study was just released. Yeah? I read about this years ago. It’s been known to fishermen for years that Orcas attacks sharks, butting them to break their ribs, to protect their young.
A new study led by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and published Tuesday in Nature found great white sharks leave their “preferred hunting ground” when orcas — also known as killer whales — enter it. In fact, researchers found the sharks won’t return to those areas for roughly a year — even if the orcas don’t stay that long.
