Agu, very interesting film, but also just like the ray that feed on the tess I think it was, I am never surprise to what creature may prey on another for the only sea creature with no know enemies in the sea is that of the Killer (Orca) Whale. for all other known marine species do fall victim to another and that the blue ring is no exception.

The little blue ring has a toxin the will freeze our respiratory system and kill us in 20 minutes. The mantis calls it lunch, how does it survive a killer neurotoxin ?

I understand all that Agu and that if any human being does get bite by one that their one and only chance for life is if their close to (A friend is near at the time) get to the hospital for which is only as far I know is one way for a person to live and that doctors need to pump fluids or so into your body to help flush your blood streams where the toxin is and this takes more then a day I know, only it would depend on the person bite on their body structure and weight.
These highly toxin marine animals all have a weakness, if they cannot get close enough to place their bite or if a stinger, in which any number of other marine species can rip off such as the trigger fish for I not know the name of this large crab that has a powerful toxin in its stinger and here as well, the trigger fish only has to tear it off the crabs body and from that moment on, the trigger fish a easy meal. As for the blue ring, at the time of death, it is only a matter of time that its toxin dies as well that I believe by the time the mantis completes his meal, its toxin is non-functional. Quote:

This is gonna sound a little weird but if I do recall a group of dolphins have been known to take out a great white if threatened. I read this out've national geographic or saw it on the discovery chanel.

Titan, I have to believe that these dolphins at most were toying with the shark for they may be able to inflict some harm on a juvenile great white, but 3x larger then themselves, their toying around in this is like playing Russian Roulette with one bullet in the pistol that one incorrect move would end the toying around for the other dolphins, least of all for the one which made the mistake.

there was a video of a mother orca completely and brutally killing a full grown great white because she thought her baby was threatened by it... it was very interesting to watch a 15 foot orca beat the living crap out of a 25 foot great white... Orca killed it, and some guy caught it on video...
dolphins are known to kill great whites as long as they are in packs. A single dolphin cannot kill a great white. i also saw the dolphins attacking a greatwhite on the discovery channel. there was also a video of dolphins killing a full grown hammerhead. Dolphins' noses are very hard and can do some serious damage. they kept ramming the GW in the same spot over and over, and it slowly fell to the sea floor.

When I was in college we reviewed some footage of a group of 4-5 dolphins systematically killing a great white. Based on what I can remember, they were not playing with the shark and the researches who were narrating the video noted that this was a common defensive technique used against predators that they utilize especially if there was a young dolphin in the group.
25' may be excessive even for a great white. I think the largest ever caught was 21'. I do know that there have been reports of Pods of Orca's attacking great whites. They don't call them the wolves of the sea for nothing. |
