Sharks and humans are the primary threats to giant trevallies.

These fish are so fierce that they occasionally ram sharks with their heads, injuring or even killing them. When curious, their instinct is to bite.
Two giant trevallies join a school of pelican barracuda (Sphyraena idiastes) in Siquijor Island, Philippines.
These fish feed on whatever is easiest at the time, including crustaceans, cephalopods, mollusks, eels, and smaller fish.
