Standard media craze but always interesting to see predator-prey interactions within top predators. If you’ve seen or heard about orcas-sharks interactions, check out 2nd photo and contact us on killerwhalesandsharks@gmail.com

Had a great chat about #Taningia with @alexlariley from @NautilusMag for this. Why do these huge #deepsea #squid have the largest know photophores (light-producing organs) in the animal kingdom? Have a read here: https://t.co/hf9YvgXrxs
