At the time, False Bay was a great white shark hotspot before sightings started to fall. By 2019, the sharks had completely abandoned this prime seal-hunting spot. Attacks were initially confined to broadnose sevengill sharks , but the orcas soon began to turn their attention to great whites. Last year, grisly aerial footage showed the pair in action.last month as part of a study by, a former adjunct professor of marine vertebrate zoology at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy., the researcher said that despite the recent spate of killings, it is believed that orcas can’t easily tear open great white sharks.
