Can Killer Whales Kill A Great White Shark?

Question

Personaly I don't Think a killer whale can because first,
sometimes Great Whites EAT killer whales,do I have to
SPELL that for you?Great Whites E-A-T killer whales.And
also the Great White Shark has a bite strength of 40,000
pounds per square inch,not it's whole mouth,just every INCH
of it's mouth,and killer whales can't bite that hard.PLUS
Great Whites have sharper teeth,and bigger ones too.And
Great White teeth have jagged edges that are sharp for
ripping through the blubber of BLUE WHALES who's blubber is WAY thicker than the so called "killer" whales' blubber.
And Great Whites are the same size as "killer" whales.Well
there's a monster for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Actually, a fully grown male Orcinus orca is at the top of the food chain in the ocean. There is no single creature that could kill one and there is no creature that can stop a pod of killer whales from eating them! In fact killer whales are the reason why Carcharodon megalodon isn't around anymore (this shark makes the Great White look like a sardine, mass and even toothsize) Great whites will only eat dead or VERY weak dying whales, their main choice of prey are pinnipeds (seals and sea-lions).

Answer 2

Do Killer Whales Eat Sharks

Answer 3

They say they got footage of killer whales killing a great white but I having seen that yet. I seen bits of piece where they show a killer whale kill a shark, but no actually footage that you can see and I can alter to make it look like a killer whale eating a shark. In my opinion, the killer whale will win

Answer 4

Killer whales are much smarter, and they can work together if necessary, so they certainly can kill a great white shark. A great white could kill a whale under some circumstances, if th whale was sick or injured and/or didn't notice the shark was coming. I imagine whales would normally know when an animal that size is coming.

Answer 5

Based upon size, speed, teeth and hunting tactics, it s my opinion a single killer whale (dolphin) can and has been killed by a fully grown great white. Granted, a rare occurrence because Orcas usually travel in pods and even a great while won t attack under those circumstances. In addition, the only time this might happen if they think they have a shot at a baby whale.

Answer 6

I have to say that most of your information is wrong. I have spent seven years studying orcas in the wild and I can tell you for a fact that Great Whites DO NOT kill and eat orcas. Great Whites will flee an area if orcas are around. This happened last year near the Farallon Islands off the coast of California. The Farallon's are a known hang-out for Great Whites. Researchers studying Great Whites there noticed that when orcas were present in the islands, the sharks disappeared from the area. I have also seen plenty of video footage of killer whales killing Great Whites because they are a threat to the young. Great Whites do not eat killer whales. Killer whales do not eat Great Whites either, however if a shark is threatning an orca baby, mom will take care of the problem very quickly and efficiently.
