australiaorcasgreat white sharksdna analysistop predators

Researchers have confirmed that orcas are feasting on great white sharks in Australian waters, thanks to DNA analysis of a maimed shark carcass. This marks the first confirmed evidence of orca predation on great white sharks in the country. The shark was found missing its liver, digestive, and reproductive organs. Killer whales were suspected to be behind the shark's death, and DNA samples taken from the distinctive bite wounds confirmed their presence. Isabella Reeves, a Flinders University researcher, said this behavior is probably underestimated and occurring more often than we think. Understanding orcas' dietary needs can help preserve them and the rest of the ecosystem.

The AAA is alarmed as no state or territory is on track to achieve the objectives of Australia's National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030, which aims to halve road deaths."Why are Australia's roads becoming deadlier?"

Australia's New South Wales (NSW) public hospitals are closing more than 60 mental health beds temporarily due to mass resignations of psychiatrists.
