In some cases it has been noted that at times can jump up to 10-12 feet out of the water if they are chasing prey and possibly to remove parasites from the skin.

Who would win in a fight between a shark and a killer whale?

There are many documented cases of Orca (Killer Whales) killing Great White Sharks. Orca have advantages over sharks. They are much smarter and rely on sonar. In a fight between a single Orca and Great White Shark, the Orca has a high probability of winning. Orca also travel in pods rather than alone which would guarentee their winning a fight against a Great White. Orca do prey on some sharks, most notably the Basking Shark, the second largest shark next to the Great White Shark. Great White Sharks and Orca do not compete with each other, so a fight between the two is unlikely, but does happen.


Where do great white sharks get their food?

Great White sharks are apex predators, they're at the top of the food chain so they pretty much eat whatever they want. Seals with their high body fat are perfect prey. When a great white spots one they dive down deep and then accelerate upwards at high speeds and grab the unlucky creature in its mouth. That's also why surfers can be attacked, and also why they usually survive. The shark goes for the centre o the creature, the board when the surfer is towards the back. The shark doesn't like the taste of the board so it leaves. Great White are centred usually around areas with a high seal population. Cape of Good Hope (False Bay), Farallon Islands (San Francisco), Port Phillip Island and the South coast of Australia to name a few.

Can a killler whale kill a great white?

Yes! A bull Orca has been seen to approach a Great White shark at high speed, bump the shark and roll it over, upside down, then grasp the shark with it's teeth. The sharkgoes limp, almost as if it is hypnotized! This technique also has the amazing additional effect of chasing other Great White sharks away from the area. Sharks are well-known to prowl around behind Orca pods that have calves, waiting for a chance at an easy meal. Perhaps this is what best explains the Orca's behavior.If you have access to YouTube, see the relatedlink listed below:
