Seems innocuous to me. It doesn't give false impressions in the way so many article titles do these days, just a hook for finding out what the predator is.

- chrisseaton 7y ago> just a hook for finding out what the predator is That's the problem - click baiting and hiding information.
- nkozyra 7y agoHeadlines don't need to be this expressive to avoid being clickbait.
- rooam-dev 7y agoIt gives the impression that something new has been discovered. So in this case is a clickbait, you have to click and find out something that is known, maybe not well known but I wouldn't say a secret. I personally knew about Orcas attacking sharks.
- Gpetrium 7y agoI think you filled in the blanks with a 'new discovery', when your brain could have simply assumed that the title would be "A discovery of a new animal that scares even the Great White Shark!" if there was a new discovery. I think it is click-bait in the literal sense, but not in the negative connotation that click-bait is used today.
