White sharks flee feeding areas when orcas present: Electronic tag data reveals white sharks do not return until following season; elephant seals benefit -- ScienceDaily

New research challenges the notion that great white sharks are the most formidable predators in the ocean. The research team documented encounters between white sharks and orcas at Southeast Farallon Island off California. In every case examined by the researchers, white sharks fled the island when orcas arrived and didn't return there until the following season. Elephant seal colonies in the Farallones also indirectly benefited from the interactions.
