When they go for the same prey if you compared their size the shark is less than half the size of the whale. The orca will never let another killer take its prey, so the Orca grasps it in its mouth and turns it upside down, allowing it to suffocate as the gills cannot allow it to breath underwater, and then leaves it to drown, taking its prey.
