A large -scale great white shark died after being devoid of mysterious cutting wounds and internal organs on a south -western Australian beach, scientists have highlighted the real identity of their killers. According to a new study published in the journal, using DNA analysis, researchers succeeded in zero on orkas, known as better killers as killer whales, and Sevengel shark forms as potential killers Is known in Ecology and Development.
“Genomic analysis performed on the swab taken from cutting wounds, confirming the presence of killer whale DNA in the major cutting field, while other bite was embedded with genetic materials from scavenging broadnoose sevangil sharks,” stated in.
Scientists stated that the presence of killer whale DNA on Great White Shark was the result of a “true prediction event”, which was ruled by a maritime environment with several other tests.
The study stated, “The possibility of contamination is unlikely, because the swab samples were collected from the bodies over 24 hours after its recovery.”
Research found that cutting wounds on sharks were corresponding to the liver extracts of white shark by the killer whale near South Africa.
In particular, the body of the shark was found in the body of the body in October 2023 by residents near Cape Brijwatter to the west of Portland. The condition of the body attracted significant attention due to size and bite marks with social media users, coming with hosting the principles of the plot.

Killer Whale Hunting Whale Shark
While the diet of a killer whale usually consists of fish, penguins and sea lions, they are also known to attack other top predators. Last year, a study published in the Journal, Frontiers in Marine Science claimed that the orkas were now hunting whale sharks in the world’s largest shark species, which could grow up to 40 feet.
After colliding and analyzing the media footage collected between 2018 and 2024, the study revealed that the orkas showed a collaborative hunting technique to kill whale sharks. He focused on attacking the pelvic region and hitting whale sharks at a high speed.
The orkas then flipped the victim so that it is floating and is unable to dive down to escape. After the whale exits after the shark, the killer whales rip their internal organs and consume lipid-rich liver.
