Killer whales mauled a shark

Three killer whales were filmed slaughtering a shark off the coast of Mexico.

Guide Evans Boden witnessed the unusual scene. According to him, the shark was already partially consumed by the time the footage was filmed. Several killer whales shared the kill. The footage shows them passing the lifeless carcass back and forth. Then, one of the whales dives to the ocean floor.

Boden explained that killer whales often hunt sharks for their livers. Scientists suspect they are attracted to the substance squalene, which is found in the organ.
