A pod of orcas has twice been observed flipping young great white sharks on their backsides to stun them, then slicing their sides open.

Some orcas have a taste for liver — specifically, the livers of great white sharks.

Videos taken by scientists in Mexico reveal how the crafty whales manage to snag bites of the apex predators’ fatty organs.

Researchers filmed two orca hunts in the Gulf of California — one in 2020 and another in 2022. They show the pods attacking young great white sharks by flipping them on their backsides to stun them, then slicing their sides open to extract their livers. The team published the findings of their video studies in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science on Monday.

Stop the stupid typing. Makes you look daft.

User has solid comments, always on topic and/or insightful.

Lemmy: Fuck you for being different!

Also lemmy: We celebrate difference no matter how weird you are!

The hypocrisy is stunning. If Sxan said, "I'm autistic and ADHD and neurodivergent and have to type this way or I spaz the fuck out!", they'd be the most popular user around here.

Also telling is whose brain can and cannot adjust to the written word. I assume the haters only know one language and alphabet, struggle with Roman numerals and analog clocks.

They're not doing it because they're on the ASD. Don't be obtuse.

I assume it’s meant to poison data scraped for AI training. I’m not sure it works** but I don’t think they’re just trying to be an ass.

** E: mainly because a lot of DE time is devoted to prepping training data and we’re especially good at automatically correcting minor and consistent aberrations (common typos and other transcription errors) in large datasets

It doesn't. Thus, every user typing that fashion is daft.

Glad you got that off your chest.
