What Is This Terrifying And Mysterious Animal That Ate An Entire 9ft Great White Shark?


What could it be? What is this mysterious deep sea creature that ate a 9ft long great
white shark? This video is a reminder of how little we actually know about shark
behavior and deep sea life.

A group of marine biologists off the coast of Australia tagged a healthy great white
shark. Then, a few months later, the tag washed ashore. When researchers analyzed
data from the tag, they were confronted with a mystery that was deeply weird, and
slightly terrifying.

In this video, we learn what the researchers found on the tag. A few weeks after
tagging, the shark appears to have been abruptly dragged down into a deep ocean
trench, then eaten. The tag remained in the digestive system of the animal that ate it
for several days. Whatever animal it was seemed to be bobbing to the ocean surface
once in a while, though it never plunged as deeply as it had after it ate the shark.

What kind of deep-dwelling alpha predator did this? Obviously it’s very possible that the
shark’s tag was eaten, but that still leaves us wondering what could bite a hunk off a shark, then zoom down to an incredible depth and back up again?

Scientists have been left baffled after a nine-foot great white shark appears to have
been eaten by a much larger animal.

Researcher in Australia tagged the shark as part of a study, but it washed up dead
on a beach four kilometres away two months later.

After checking the information on the tracking device, they found the shark had
suddenly plunged to 1,900 feet deep into the ocean.

Soon after, the tag saw a rapid temperature rise, the kind you may find inside a
digestive system.

The tag stayed at that depth and temperature for a number of days, before it
surfaced and washed up on shore.

Scientists can only think the shark may have been eaten by a bigger "colossal,
cannibal great white shark", reports the Mirror.

They suggest the shark would need to have been 16 feet long and weigh two
tonnes to have beaten the nine-footer.

The case is detailed in an upcoming US documentary by the Smithsonian Institute,
called the Hunt for the Super Predator.

According to news.com.au, filmmaker Dave Riggs says in the documentary: "When
I was first told about the data that came back from the tag that was on the shark, I
was absolutely blown away.

"The question that not only came to my mind but everyone's mind who was
involved was, 'what did that?' It was obviously eaten. What's gonna eat a shark
that big? What could kill a [9-foot] great white?"

When you walk out into the ocean, just make sure there are plenty of other people out past you. Do not be the farthest one out. And do not be the only, one out. chuckle chuckle chuckle chuckle.

Ocean explorers have finally achieved one of their most alluring but elusive
objectives: video footage of the actual legendary architeuthis (Architeuthis dux) in
its natural heavy-sea habitat. Scientists state that the actual spectacular film,
captured throughout an expedition off Japan's Ogasawara archipelago, answers
enduring questions about the enigmatic spineless.

https://youtube.com/user/lionwildlife Killer Whale Vs Great White -
Orca Kills Shark and Wins Fight [Full Nature Wildlife Documentary] The great white
shark and the killer whale are the most formidable predators in the sea. These
animals are so dangerous that they would never challenge each other...or so we
thought. One morning, off the Californian coast, a boatload of tourists witnessed
the ultimate clash of the titans: an unexpected killing challenges the great white
shark's supremacy as the ultimate predator when one became prey to a killer
whale. Killer Whale Vs Great White - Orca Kills Shark and Wins Fight [Full Nature
Wildlife Documentary]

The Whale That Ate Jaws examines this extraordinary incident. Featuring amazing
underwater footage of two whales feeding on the shark, this show reveals an
astonishing new perspective on the relationship between the ocean's two top
predators. Killer Whale Vs Great White - Orca Kills Shark and Wins Fight [Full
Nature Wildlife Documentary]

The killer whale (Orcinus orca), also referred to as the orca whale or orca, and less
commonly as the blackfish, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin
family. Killer whales are found in all oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic
regions to tropical seas. Killer whales as a species have a diverse diet, although
individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed
exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as sea lions, seals,
walruses, and even large whales. Killer whales are regarded as apex predators,
lacking natural predators.

Killer whales are highly social; some populations are composed of matrilineal family
groups which are the most stable of any animal species. Their sophisticated hunting
techniques and vocal behaviors, which are often specific to a particular group and
passed across generations, have been described as manifestations of culture.

The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the great white,
white pointer, white shark, or white death, is a species of large lamniform shark
which can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans.The great
white shark is an apex predator of the seas and has no natural predators. The great
white shark is arguably the world's largest known extant macropredatory fish, and
is one of the primary predators of marine mammals. It is also known to prey upon
a variety of other marine animals, including fish and seabirds.

Ha! My thoughts exactly. The ocean is beautiful but when humans step into it they are no longer humans, they are food. ;-)

Stop it Cider!!!

I have been living in this country of beautiful beaches and wonderful surf for a very long time-- and I still have not achieved the nonchalant attitude of the population to sharks. Fatalistic does not even begin to describe it! Denial comes close!

[syrwong]

This has an implication on the existence of the reptilians . We think the great white is at the top of the food chain in the oceans, but a hidden predator feeds on the shark. We think we humans are at the top of the food chain, but could it be in fact a hidden predator called the reptilians that feed on us? Reptiles are older historically than mammals I think in most evolutions.

There is more to whats going on behind the scenes than we are led to believe......

To make a further comparison, the predator we are prey to may be 1. hidden, 2. indigenous and 3. part of the Earth's Ecosystem.!

Ummm, a 9 foot Great White is fairly small... They're more than twice that when they grow up...

Don't know about the change in temperature however the depth is well within a mature ones range.

Where was junior tagged? Might have been on a dorsal or pectoral fin which means not such a big task to have it eaten in a fight. Also, what was being used to attract the sharks to the boat? I'm guessing there could have been quite a few in the area and a bit of blood might have caused a problem for junior...

So, maybe the baby 9 footer got in a blue with a mature adult (or even a killer whale though the depth and time submerged would exclude them as a suspect at depth) and went down to 500 metres to escape (I recall vaguely that's a standard tactic for them when in distress) the adult probably gave chase and either gave up chasing or ate it at depth. Again, only thing I'm not able to explain is the difference in internal temperature of GW and that recorded. Don't GW's alter parts of their body temperature as the water temperature changes? Anyway, maybe the device was damaged or the shark was over a thermal vent... Who knows how many other possible reason there could be for the temperature anomaly.

Worlds Biggest Shark caught on a Rod and Reel

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZwqtD-czn8U

Published on 24 Dec 2012


In 1986 Frank Mundus and Donnie Braddick caught a 3,427-pound great white
about 28 miles off Montauk, and only 18 miles from Block Island, which still holds
the record for the largest shark ever caught by rod and reel. The capture of the
shark was controversial at the time with some saying he had killed the whale on
which the shark was feeding when caught and that the shark was harpooned rather
than caught by rod and reel (either of which would have negated the record). The
International Game Fishing Association ruled that the catch was legitimate based on
photographs. This shark is not the world's biggest recorded shark the megaladon.
Which was well over 100ft and rivals the blue whale in size as the world's largest
animal ever. Jaws.

Interesting, mammoth sharks caught off Montauk in 1986, only 3 years after the episode of the Montauk chair...

When I first saw the story, one of my thoughts was , could it be an escaped

But Montauk did make me wonder again...LOL

Sometimes I forget that what is being talked about in Oz might not be getting talked about elsewhere.

There was a picture that was floating around a month or so back that showed the largest GW tagged in Oz.



She is estimated to be a massive 5.3 metres long and weight 1.6 metric tonne (over 3500 pound) and be around 30 years old.



More info on Joan available here and here.

The Dave Riggs documentary (linked to in my earlier post above) was all the talk in Oz last year...
