A group of orcas in the Gulf of California has been filmed using remarkable skill to hunt young great white sharks, flipping them onto their backs to reach the nutrient-packed liver. The group, known as Moctezuma’s pod, may be exploiting shifts in ocean temperatures that have changed shark nursery zones. These warmer waters could be pushing inexperienced juveniles into new…

Great white sharks have a DNA mystery science still can’t explain
White sharks exhibit stark differences between the DNA in their nuclei and the DNA in their mitochondria. Until now, scientists have pointed to the migration patterns of great whites to explain these differences. Scientists tested this theory in a new study by analyzing genetic differences between global white shark populations. In doing so, they discovered that great whites were restricted…
