The discovery of the orca tooth impressions on the South African coast in Cape Town, South Africa, after 19 shark carcasses washed up on the beach just outside her home. The sevengill sharks were all found in the same condition: missing their livers, which had been sucked out through a clean tear in their shoulders. This near-surgical precision was the hallmark of a pair of orcas known as Port and Starboard, who had been extracting livers from sevengills and great white sharks since 2015. The two male orcas were spotted in the area two days prior.
Why are these orcas killing sharks and removing their livers?
