Orcas, or killer whales, do not only feed on sardines during the annual Sardine Run, but also on dolphins. What used to be a rumour only, became confirmed through the sighting of an actuall kill of a dolphin through orcas some years ago offshore Port Elizabeth. Check the footage taken out of a National Geographic documentary:

Video: How Orcas hunt Great White Sharks
Great White Sharks are usually know as "the ultimate predator" of the oceans, but did you know that the mighty sharks became prey to Orcas, or "killer whales"?
Whale-watchers off the coast of San Francisco witnessed a stunning act of nature as a killer whale rose to the water's surface with a Great White in its mouth and held it there for 15 minutes. Luckily biologist Peter Pyle was nearby and able to get underwater footage of the whales feeding on the shark.
