It’s safe to say you’ll never get in the water again after watching this.
There is a breed of dolphin out there that eats sharks. Yes, that’s right a shark-eating dolphin.
They’re called false killer whales because they look and act like killer whales, but are actually dolphins. According to Whale Facts they can grow up to 20ft and swim in tropical waters.
WTF?
Recently a drone caught rare footage of a few false killer whales hunting and devouring a shark.
It’s not very often you feel sorry for sharks but this video shows four false killer whales chasing him before killing him.

Like orcas, false killer whales are one of the only marine mammals to actively hunt and kill other marine mammals.
Interestingly there have been occasions when false killer whales have matted with bottlenosed dolphins creating a hybrid – a wolphin.
Sounds sweet, right? Not so sweet if it takes after the false killer whale and wants to eat all around itself.
