Orca attacking whale sharks

[arew+4]

It was a cool video, the speed of the orca was amazing. It would have been like getting hit by a formula one truck! Nothing appeals to the teenage boy in all of us more than what animal could beat up another animal.

Isn't there an animal planet TV show based on that premise? Maybe the Orca are watching? I blame Willy, sharing all those bad habits and ideas he picked up in captivity.

Interesting that the article stated that orcas haven't been observed eating the livers of their pray. I have this comic bookror my daughter from Jean Michele Cousteau where they claim to have recorded exactly that off Papau New Guinea. Not sure if that was poetic license or not.
