Researchers believe a pair of killer whales off the coast of South Africa have been on a Great White Shark killing spree.

They said the duo, named Port and Starboard, have been murdering sharks and eating their organs, slaughtering at least eight great whites since 2017.

Experts believe the whales behaviour is behind a drop in great white shark sightings in the area over the last five years.

The man behind L’Oreal’s Research and Innovation tech team said they’re planning to bring some form of beauty offering to the Metaverse.

Guive Balooch told the Evening Standard he thinks there will be a real appetite for beauty in the virtual world.
