I’m still sure a large superpod could kill the shark for sure, but they would need superpod larger than the largest currently observed which may happen. Also interesting reference and theory which seems somewhat plausible. The guy shouldn’t be considered reliable he has other insane theories such as T. rex evolving to detect large crocodiles which apparently regularly prey upon the rex, caused a bit of stir in the paleo community, and some other ones. Just noting that down.

Sam1/Prehistorican:
I have to put a stop on name calling and personal attacks. You are both sound posters, but we cannot let WoA devolve into pettiness, like some other animal forums. We want to maintain a higher level of discourse.
I would ask that you both take a step back and try to find some level of common ground. Maybe find something in each others posts on which you can agree and upon which you could even commend each other.
Vigorous debate, disagreements and constructive criticism are expected, and commendable -- up to a point. I believe you are both overall mature, thoughtful posters. Let's keep it that way. Thanks.

Alright makes sense and will consider that, any size estimates of the humpback and grey whales? Any sources you could post? Would be pretty nice. Also, what exactly counts as a "large" whale. A 15m 20? tonnes fin whale has been called "large" by the media and reports could the whales be smaller than an adult (possibly?). I haven't seen any orca predation accounts recently (other than the ones currently listed), sorry. Eschricht, D.F. 1866. On the species of the genus Orca inhabiting the northern seas. In: Eschricht, D.F., Reinhardt, J and Lilljeborg, W. (eds.), Recent Memoirs on the Cetacea., 151–188. Ray Society, London. Jefferson, T.A., Stacey, P.J. and Baird, R.W. 1991. A review of killer whale interactions with other marine mammals: Predation to co-existence. Mammal review 21 (4): 151–180. |
