The technique involved flipping the small sharks upside down, thereby changing their awareness of their surroundings and forcing them into a trance-like state known as tonic immobility.”This temporary state renders the shark defenseless, allowing the orcas to extract its nutrient-rich liver and likely consume other organs as well, before abandoning the rest of the carcass,” study lead author Jesús…
