Look like shamoo wasn't as nice as we thought. I remember watching something about a couple of killer whale killing a whale shark a couple of year ago on the Discovery channel.

bitesize are you talking about the footage that was on CNN, where the orca was spoted jumping with a 10 feet great white shark in its mouth?

Those are vicious mammals. It's no surprise that in the ocean these orca's are on the very top of the food chain.

Damn. Looks like I'm not going surf fishing anymore. I have seen these crazy whales breach shore to grab seals and others. 8-[

Here's a great read on the subject:

All I know is, after reading that, I wouldn't want to be in that 22' inflatable skiff with that teenage male "playfully nugding" the boat and checkin' out the dog!!!
