Megalodon vs. Orca Whale?

Question

who would win one on one?, can the extinct Megalodon kill an Orca whale?

Answer 1

Well, if we want to be anal-retentive readers, the Orca wins because the megalodon is dead. BUT:

In a battle, the list would read like this:

Orca, the Killer Whale, weighing in at 8 tons and laying 30 ft long, will put up a fight with his 46 3" conical, interlocking teeth, his mean mind, and his powerful fins. His sonar is nice when the water's murky. Oh yeah, and he likes to bring his pod with (the 5 - 15 friends he travels with). Nothing like team work to bring down dinner!

Megaladon, weighing in at 45 tons, laying 50 ft. long, is coming in with 7" serrated teeth, stalking prey from below and then rising up at a high speed to deliver a massive, often fatal first bite. His heat seaking ability is nice, but if any blood is in the water, you can be sure he'll be there- shortly!

Look at that - the orca's colors camoflauge them from the sharks below - the white matches light shining of the surface.

An ocra near the back spots Megalodon, and sounds an alert.

The megalodon zips in to snatch up a bite of mammalian flesh when -

POW! From the left, another orca uses his fin to throw the megalodon off course.

Etc. etc. etc. - I'd say the megalodon would hurt one of the orcas and try eat, but the collective group would dispose of the megalodon shortly after. They don't like to give up, where as the megalodon just wants a meal.

Mass over mind, strength in numbers.

Answer 3

Facts are facts. The way a great white hunts marine mammals is by striking from below. It takes a devastating bite and waits for the animal to bleed out. Megalodon most probably hunted in a similar fashion. There is not much of a fight when 45 to 50 tons takes on 6 to 8 tons. In the animal kingdom, when a member of the pod cannot keep with the others, the rest of the pod will eventually leave it behind. Also consider when a great white makes a kill, it attracts other great whites. Now great whites are considerably smaller than an orca and avoid them. Megalodon would not fear a pod of orcas being the much larger predator, and when several 50 ton monster sharks come to investigate the pod would leave. Orcas have no natural predators in today s oceans. If they did being intelligent animals, they would instinctively know it was time to bug out and live another day.

Megalodon Vs Great White

Answer 5

Well what orcas and KW do to great whites they can't do to megalodon
Livyatan would put up a better fight than orcas and KW

Answer 6

I think the orca will win because orcas youse tocnnaim obilaty so the orca so they swim upside down to the shark and orcas can way 11 tons and some pods have 100 orcas and the megalodon ways 100 and 11 x 7 = 1,100 so thats 1,000 more tons so orcas can knock it upside down and the shark will faint and the orcas eat it.

Answer 7

The evolution of Orca killer whales is the most probable reason why Megalodon became extinct.

Answer 8

if a megalodon can swallow a great white and is basically a orca x2 with a bite stronger then a trexes it could probably kill an ocra pack one by one

Answer 9

Chances are the sperm whale did the dirty work while orcas found easy pray with unprotected young, also this problem most likely stretched to many large sea creatures from fish to mammal.

Answer 10

The orca would be considered plankton to the Megalodon if it still existed today which some theories say that the Megalodon survived and is hiding in a trench, but I doubt if that is true.
