Amazing viral vid by Barcroft TV of what is believed to be the world's first footage of some killer whales taking out a Tiger shark at Chatham Bay on Cocos Island, Costa Rica, on September 8...
It shows three killer whales working as a team to force the panicked shark to the surface, wearing it down and taking opportunistic bites at its fins. Eventually, a large bull moves in to deliver the death blow while flipping the shark onto its back in the process - which induces a state of paralysis known as tonic immobility. The pod then takes turns at eating and stripping the seven-foot shark down to its bare bones before disappearing back into the ocean.
