Great whites are considered to be the highest predators of the sea. They can reach a size of more than six meters, and have more than 300 teeth in their mouths. Deep Ndai giants can travel at speeds of more than 50 kilometers per hour, and experience minutes of hunting from 250 meters away.
All of the above suggests that there is nothing more frightening in the oceans than white sharks, but that something has killed them off the coast of South Africa, experts say.
Since 2017, cage-diving operators have seen a sharp decline in great white sight.
In 2018, there were 50 scenes, and in 2019 there were none.
Illegal hunting and human activity were thought to be responsible for the decline of the Great Goro, but scientists now believe this has led to another revelation.
Killer whales or orcas were first spotted outside South Africa in 2015, and a team of nine experts believes they are responsible for the disappearance of the Great Goro.
South Africa is dependent on the great white shark for its tourism industry.
As a result, the government called an emergency meeting on his disappearance.
A statement from South Africa’s Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries said: “This day is important because it serves as an annual reminder of how South Africa is blessed with a wide variety of fisheries resources, Protect ecosystems that use these limited resources.

“There is some evidence of a causal relationship between the appearance of orcas pods that specialize in hunting white sharks,” scientists told the meeting.
In 2017, the remains of five great whites were found near the Gansby area that were consistent with the Orca attack.
One of the team, marine biologist Alison Coke, said sharks die when orcas appear.
He said during the presentation: “Every time and whenever this happened, there was an immediate reduction and distance in the sight of the white shark.”
However, he admitted that “we still don’t have all the answers”.
