Marine biologist describes injuries sustained by the sharks in South Africa after being hunted by orca.
Great white sharks generally, she said, are not known for washing up dead after attacks and rarely become available for scientific study.
The first shark Towner and colleagues examined still had its liver, but it was covered with razor marks."It was the day after two killer whales had come through and no one at that point was willing to make the call that it was possibly orca," she said. "Just under the surface of the skin is the perfect place to open up the shark and access and extract the liver," Towner said."I think two of the animals had both the heart removed and one male had his testes removed. Because they're very close there in the body cavity.
