Other whales, sharks (including great whites), rays, seals, sea lions, otters, porpoises, dolphins, fish... depending on the pod, where they're at, what's available, transient vs resident pod. They kill pretty much everything except people.
According to the guide on a whale watching tour out of Victoria, there are two species of Orca. One feeds on salmon, the other feeds on seals...and anything else it can get hold of.
Those are transient pods and resident pods. Residents only eat fish for whatever reason.
That woman has never been safer in the ocean. No shark will ever approach with orcas around. Even great whites leave the area when orcas show up.

Tiger sharks are known for their aggression, but aren't chit in comparison
Orca’s can kill and eat white sharks too. Like an hors d'oeuvre. There’s a good book called ‘The Devil's Teeth’, by Susan Casey. It’s about the big white sharks...the alphas among alphas, some over 20 feet long...off the Farallon Islands 27 miles west of San Francisco. It also describes encounters between orca’s and great white’s.
For roughly a century there was a relationship between a pod of orcas and the Davidson family at Eden in southern NSW, on the east coast of Australia, for cooperation in the hunting of humpback and other baleen whales. The baleen whales would migrate along the coast each year, and when they were off Eden the orca would go and rouse the family by slapping their tails near the family cottage. They'd lead the whalers in their rowboats out to the prey, and in return the whalers would leave the killed whale out for them to let them eat the tongue, before dragging it ashore for flensing and trying.
This relationship gradually petered out by about 1930, probably as a result of some of the orcas being killed by others, and losing their trust of man, and also a thinning of the numbers of humpback and other baleen wales along the coast due to over-hunting. There's a museum in Eden with a lot of information and memorabilia from this period - whale boats, harpoons, photos etc, and the skeleton of the last of the orcas to participate.

That is not according to the bios I have spoken to at great length about it. They do move differently as pods but neither one is transient or resident all the time. They each find their course and stick to them in the AK study areas.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
If a guy has lived on or near the Puget Sound and been out the Strait and up past Vancouver Island - fished/boated/observed those waters over time - this is not news at all.

that pretty well narrows it down for those on-the- know, even by pinpoint geographical location....for the rest of the planet it’s called “ENTERTAINMENT” and as such, posted to Youtube.
