The first observation of a live great white shark Carcharodon carcharias bearing tooth rake marks by an orca Orcinus orca on the left flank is presented. The estimated 3.5-m shark was observed on 7 July, 2017, at Seal Island in False Bay, Western Cape, South Africa. This case provides evidence that great white sharks can survive an attack by an orca.
