I saw the rare video years ago (probably Discovery Channel) and the great white shark was about 10 feet but the mother Orca was full-grown.

The video on YouTube is a little disappointing compared to what I saw on TV.

Clash of the titans: Whale vs. Shark

October 8, 1997
Web posted at: 11:28 p.m. EDT (0328 GMT)

SAN FRANCISCO (CNN) -- Move over, Jaws. An underwater battle captured on videotape proves that killer whales are the kings of the sea.

The first known videotape of a clash between a killer whale and a great white shark has enthralled whale watchers all over the world.

"Nothing like this has been known to happen before," said Mary Jane Schramm, a naturalist who witnessed the attack Saturday off the Farallon Islands.

Orca is from the dolphin family of whales. The largest dolphin. Thus the impressive athletic abilities..which is WHY they are able to outdo a great white shark.

They are intelligent, quick, strong and fearless.
PLUS they have teeth.

Sharks are often found feeding on the larger barnicle covered whales of the oceans. 14 tons of mammal.
YET. Shark buffet.

A blue whale can be surrounded by lesser sharks and still lose the fight.
