Boaters off the coast of Sarasota, Florida, had a dramatic encounter with a great white shark during a feeding frenzy. The shark was seen headbutting a camera before feasting on a whale carcass. Meanwhile, an orca was observed hunting and killing a great white shark by itself for the first time. The incident has raised concerns among vacationers as the great white shark named 'Penny' circles warm waters in Florida. In a separate event, a group of California orcas were witnessed using a brutal hunting method involving drowning whale calves and other mammals.
