Orcas are Literally Ripping the Nuts Off Great White Sharks in the Wild

I was lucky enough to get to go halibut fishing in Alaska one time when we saw a pod of Orcas (AKA Killer Whales) get pretty close to the boat. The captain of the fishing boat got weirdly nervous until they left, and then he went on to tell all the fishing customers tales about how aggressive Killer Whales can be on occasion... and turns out Great White Sharks would agree.

According to one South African marine biologist, Alison Towner, Great White bodies have been washing up on shore which are specifically stripped of their livers, hearts, and sometimes testicles; and this matches up with shark organs that are found in Orca stomachs when they die and wash ashore occasionally.

This just reminds me that the ocean is a scary place - Jaws is made to look like an absolute joke by a pack of Orcas, who are actually the apex predator of the seas, at least that we know of for now... 80% of the ocean is still unexplored by humans. Orcas are literally ripping the nuts off of Jaws to send a signal to all of his cousins, truly terrifying tactics from the biggest bully in the seas. There's flesh eating bacteria all over the place, terrifying shit from microscopic to enormous all over the seas... Anyway, here's the full video of the marine biologist describing the bloody murder scenes at the shark bodies:
