Orca & the shark

Stunning but not unexpected. As this unfolded, I thought "Orca Wins." I heard of an aquarium setting where a pool was occupied by a pair of dolphins, one pregnant, approximately equal sized shark. Logic was the shark would eat the baby dolphin, which happened to be born overnight. Following morning the staff found a dolphin family and a dead shark. The parents seemed to have accepted the shark as long as it wasn't a hazard.
 
Wow...who would've thought. Great video. Thanks Jeff.
 
The video below was more intersting. A little niply in the Ukrain.
 
I would have put my money on the whale hands down...

Headlines should read: Mammal Eats Shark
 
A lot of us mammals eat shark, even though the other way around gets most of the headlines.
 
My understanding has always been that the dolphin almost always wins in a battle with a similar sized shark.

Back in the Flipper TV show they showed how a Bottle Nose killed sharks. They ram them in the gills with their 'snout'.

The Super Fish (local 'Party boat') is the largest of the fleet running out of San Francisco Bay.

Coming in from particularly rough seas on an Albacore trip, The Super Fish caught and passed me. I tried to keep up in her wake but she was too fast and the conditions too poor for me to make good headway. That was a very long butt puckering run in.
