"The Whale That Ate Jaws" - Shark Thread!!!!

Just watched it. It was very interesting. Although I wish there was more footage of the orca attack.

The fact that the smell of the death of a great white shark is so repellent that it shocks a shark out of tonic immobility tells me that there was probably something in the ocean, prior to these orcas that was so bada$$ that its presence was encoded into the genetic memory of sharks. I mean, anything that can kill an adult gw shark is nothing to be played with.

It might STILL be in the ocean and we just don't know about it.

I thought the same thing when I read the OP. Something a lot bigger than an orca swam those oceans a long time ago. Sharks are one of the oldest species in the water, their DNA would "remember".

Remember, the Kracken was fiction until we discovered 60-foot giant squids. You just never know.
