Photo essay: A Mako shark about to have a really bad day at the office!

The whale delivers a karate-chop to the back; I kid you not, and then things go down downhill fast for the Mako.

From the Daily Mail:

These incredible pictures demonstrate how orca whales use a 'karate chop' to stun and then finish off killer sharks.

In a rare battle of beasts these images show how several populations of skilled killer whales around the world have learned how to overcome huge sharks, that most animals give a wide berth.

Using a combination of superior brain power and brute force, the highly-intelligent orcas are able to catch and eat what many think of as the ocean's top predators.
