A fisherman caught a giant shark -- but before it could be hauled in, it was half-devoured by an even bigger predator
While fishing for small shark off the coast of New South Wales, Trapman Bermagui, also known as Jason, hooked a bronze whaler shark, which was promptly eaten by a colossal mako. Before the huge shark could be hauled in, however, it fell prey to an even bigger creature, which devoured all but the mako shark's head."We didn't see what ate the mako," Jason told CNN, estimating that the intact shark would have weighed"at least" 250 kilograms .
Jason speculated that the culprit was a tiger shark, telling CNN:"There's so many around at the moment."Tiger sharks are among the largest sharks in the ocean, according to Australia's Great Barrier Reef Foundation, growing to 10-16 feet long and weighing 800-1,500 pounds.Clive Trueman, associate professor in marine ecology at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, said the mako was probably unusually vulnerable because it was caught on the hook.
