Three killer whales rushed to attack, biting the poor tiger shark, before tearing their prey into pieces.

"I've had the good fortune to witness great things in the ocean but this is unbelievable. I believe this is the first time we've seen killer whales attacking sharks. "Tiger sharks are the scariest carnivorous fish in these waters, so this is even more surprising," said Ms Power.

Ms. Power also added that in addition to the three big whales, a whale about two weeks old appeared in the attack. However, the small whale only swims around to observe.

Biologists have long known that killer whales routinely attack sharks but have not had any attacks recorded. In addition to tiger sharks, killer whales also attack white sharks.
