I don't know. I've seen shows where orca's attack and eat members of the baleen whale family, but I suppose that that action might be rare. Calves are especially vulnerable to predators.
But, baleen types are the only thing left, that I can think of, too.

It is not a baleen whale. If you look over the species that were listed, there's a pretty clear omission, given the fact that the animal is a cetacean.

Dolphins and porpoises are a major great white food source, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. They've also been found in Tiger and Hammer Head sharks, as well. Orca's will eat them, too.
Porpoises are also kept by humans for entertainment purposes, i.e. Sea World.
The real problem is that I usually think of dolphins and porpoises as one group, even though I know that they're not.
So, good one!
