Full interview with captain Mick Minegoz, who witnessed the first known predation of an orca on a white shark at the Farallon Islands in 1997. Also appearing in the interview is James Moskito, then of Shark Diving International, now running Ocean Safaris.
I highly recommend this video which takes a detailed look at the frequency and locations of orcas preying on white sharks.
• Orca VS. Great White: ...
00:29 James introduces Mick
01:29 We saw the whole thing
01:45 Orca tears apart California sea lion
02:16 The orcas left the kill to interact with the boat
02:40 A white shark investigates the abandoned carcass, the orca responds
03:21 The orca begins showing off the trophy
03:37 Resident shark scientists Peter Pyle and Scott Anderson are not able to immediately come on site.
04:40 After the one orca has killed the shark and shown off its prize, both orcas proceed to tear the shark apart
05:10 Where's the footage?
06:10 Many people didn't realize the magnitude of the event at the time
07:45 Means of death? Orca interaction.
07:55 Note that at the Farallones a 12 foot white shark is considered small.
08:38 This was A5 of the LA Pod
08:56 These were transient orcas, the ones that eat marine mammals, but in this case they killed a shark. So was it mainly because the shark approached their food, thus they killed it, then went ahead and ate the liver since it was available?
10:15 How long did the orca "play with its food"?
10:48 It happened again a few years later and Mick was there again. DNA analysis confirmed the victim of the orcas was a white shark.
