This Orka goes out of it's way to kill white sharks just for their livers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8GaDuCvYbE

For decades white sharks (not "Great White" it's a white shark) have gotten this reputation of the ultimate killer of the sea, not even close, the Orka (which is a dolphin, surprised that Nat Geo video said they are "like a dolphin", they are in the dolphin family) take anything down in the sea. They are called Killer Whales because they KILL WHALES. As I noted in my earlier post they also hunt polar bears.
I saw the video. The orca turned the shark on its back, and it was lights out. The great white never stood a chance.

They even attack dolphins. Dolphins are their cousin, and are just as smart as the Orca. The Orca is able to gang up and tire the dolphin. I didn't know they attack polar bears though. That's amazing. Going to check that out now.

You do not understand Geneology.

While the Orca, Dolphin and Porpoise fall under the same Superfamily (Delphinidae), the Porpoise exists in a different Family (Phocoenidae) and the Dolphin can belong to about a half-dozen SuperFamilies/Families. All of these belong to different Genius'.

An even closer comparision (although would be wrong) is saying Lions and Tigers are the same because they do exist in the same Genius (Panthera) which is even more closely related.

However; if the species is different; the animals are not the same. It's also like saying we are Gorillas, Orangutans, et al because we all fall under Primates as our Order and Homininae as our Family.

Just a zoology lesson :)
