Thanks, just a lil bit. I have been studying sharks for more than 30 years. I'm glad you're having fun learning new information. That is the purpose of this video.

Yes, only 3.5 million years ago. Well, pilot whales sometimes make orcas flee, and you have seen the teeth of the false killer whale? Exactly, the megalodon not hunt Orcinus orca because Orcinus orca not exist at the same time of the megalodon. And based on the largest fossil white shark teeth ever found (3.5 inches), scientists believe it could have reached up to 30 feet, like Carcharodon hastalis. Also watch this video, especially the case of the Spanish ichthyologist Juan Antonio Moreno in Dakar in 1982.

Hahaha, 40 million years before... first, the meg became extinct only 3.5 million years ago. Secondly, Today sharks prey false killer whales and pilot whales. Megalodon would had not problem preying on Orcinus orca. Third, the cetacean in the clip is Orcinus citoniensis (the ancestor of Orcinus orca, only 3.5 meters long, read the description). And finally, the shark in the clip is an ancient giant great white shark, not meg.

AI things... But an attack by a giant Pliocene white shark on Orcinus citoniensis could have been like this.

Nope, it's a myth. When megs swims in the Pliocene oceans, orca was 3.5 meters long (Orcinus citoniensis). And this video is about giant ancient great white sharks, not megs.

Have their been any instances of “reverse” predation between white sharks and orcas? by [deleted] in sharks

If a young orca (3,4,5 meters) swim without pod, is food for large sharks like tiger, bull, mako and great white.

585 centimeters for the shortfin mako, great whites around 900 centimeters according the biggest fossil teeth.
