At least 17 sevengill #sharks have been killed by infamous #killerwhale pair Port & Starboard this week in South Africa. Only the livers were eaten with the leftover carcasses washing ashore [1/3] 📸 @MarineDynamics Christine Wessels 
We 1st observed this pair hunting sevengill sharks in False Bay, Cape Town in 2015 in a paper led by PhD candidate #TammyEngelbrecht. The paper includes a review of killer whale science in South Africa [2/3] esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… & theconversation.com/are-sharks-bei…
The drama didn’t stop there. In 2017 this pair then started targeting #greatwhitesharks, ultimately resulting in the sharks abandoning established aggregation sites, in work led by @AlisonTowner1 tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.298… [3/3]
