Fits in with my assumption that it is more a case of ever more ape legs baiting fish in their territory

Was a longer documentary 30 or 40 min, but a few of the scenes might have been identical.
Also the point of Orca hunting behaviour differing by family was heavily stressed - so might have common sources.

>Orca vs. GW - Orcas are very smart and hunt in co-ordinated pods. Air breathers can intake O2 far faster than any fish and will win any endurance contest near the surface. A GW's best strategy would be to run, fast and deep :)
In my doc the shark was not flipped over by bumping but immobilized after a kind of judo roll - probably the same reflex
