TERRIFYING footage shows the moment a pack of Orca whales tears apart a great white shark, filling the water with blood.
The great white was mauled by killer whales that are forcing the massive sharks out of their natural habitats, scientists said.
The shocking video is part of Discovery Network's 34th annual Shark Week.
The TV tradition first premiered on July 17, 1988, and has since become the longest-running cable television programming event in history.
While they were filming for Shark Week in South Africa, a drone camera captured the violent moment a pack of orcas attacked a great white, the Daily Beast reported.
The video shows a gargantuan killer whale tearing into the shark's liver, spurting blood into ocean waters while two other orcas menacingly circle the scene.

This is the first time anything like this has premiered on Discovery, and a shark scientist believes viewers will go wild at the segment.
"I really do think once that footage airs, it's going to go viral," said South Africa-based scientist Alison Towner.
"It's probably one of the most beautiful pieces of natural history ever filmed."
The stunning video is also crucial evidence that backs a scientific theory explaining great white shark migratory habits.

Some scientists believe that the sharks may actually be fleeing from groups of orcas that are newly hunting the beasts.
Towner, who has been studying the movement ecology of great white sharks for 15 years, told the Daily Beast that South Africa's Mossel Bay has seen a recent decline in shark activity.
The area has traditionally been an aggregation site for great whites, but the famous predators are mysteriously disappearing.
The shark scientist said they've gained pretty convincing evidence that killer whales have targeted great whites, and this new footage confirms long-standing suspicions.
"We've had all the evidence for killer whales being responsible for killing white sharks," Towner said.
"But this is the world's first drone footage of killer whales predating on a white shark.
Carcasses of sharks with missing livers have washed up on shores, proving that other beasts have faced the same horror fate as the recorded victim.
