the most awesome "drama of nature" video you'll see today

In the following linked video: as people try to rescue a dolphin tangled in a mess of lines, a shark closes in on the diver helping the dolphin... then a huge orca swims over to the shark and literally punts it out of the water and onto the rescue boat. A whale surfacing nearby sees the shark flailing on the boat's deck and, in an effort to help the people on the boat, rears up and fucking body-slams the shark. This has to be one of the most awesome natural interactions I've ever witnessed, and I'm so sorry it's an un-embeddable YouTube Short.

Moral of the story: everyone in nature agrees that sharks are assholes.

  1. Amazing. Glad it had a happy ending for all involved. Maybe there really is a God.

  2. They're not assholes, they're just apex predators, and homies gotta look out for each other.
