Terrifying moment orca rips huge shark’s liver out while it’s still alive in footage

Footage captured by diver James Moskito in the Sea of Cortez, revealed an orca biting the shark’s underside to remove its liver, showcasing the harsh realities of nature

An orca was captured biting a whale shark to remove its liver in never before seen footage.

Diver James Moskito, aged 58, captured a rare encounter in the Sea of Cortez, California, US, during a dive in April. The footage shows a group of eight killer whales engaged in a hunt, targeting a hapless victim.

In the gripping video, one of the killer whales manoeuvres beneath the colossal nine-meter-long whale shark, while another orca positions itself on the animal’s right side. The larger predator then clamps its powerful jaws onto the underside of the whale shark, inflicting a fatal bite. The aftermath leaves a vivid trail of blood, marking the gruesome episode.

James Moskito, the proprietor of Ocean Safaris, reflected on the extraordinary spectacle, stating, “Catching this on camera I knew this was something no one else has been able to do, and maybe only one or two others have ever seen in the world. I feel very privileged and humbled by these wild experiences that few others get to ever see.”
