'Monster Shark' attacks another shark

Showboat · 27 Oct 2009 at 16:03

That shark (thinking he was a seagul) has been listening to eric cantona and following the trawler to closely...

Nothing in the sea could do that damage to a great white! That's all human damage!

I don't buy it that a boat would do that amount of damage through the propellers to a shark.

I still cannot believe that the thing is still alive in those pics and thrashing about.

That bite wound must have really stung in the saltiness of the sea.

how was the shark still alive after that!!!! Its missing half its body

Showboat · 27 Oct 2009 at 16:20

Aye, cause they've just run over it!

Rendog · 27 Oct 2009 at 16:23

Is it me or is it missing it's top fin?

Let's see how well he sings with half his body missing.

Yes I noticed that, more than a little suspicious given the value of shark's fins and the bad press finning has been receiving lately. If a bigger shark did do that then why didn't it eat the whole shark? Presumably the smaller shark wouldn't have been able to escape in that state. People on the other hand, are scum and would cause another creature an immense amount of suffering for $300 a pound or 15 minutes of fame :mad:

Are you suggesting someone butchered that whilst it was still alive?

for some reason this made me think of

"CHAINSAW MY ASS, THAT WAS A SHARK BITE"

utajoker · 27 Oct 2009 at 16:44

was gonna suggest a killer whale like a few others, saw a program about one that killed a great white but it just held it upside down and it suffocated.

Definitely 100% that the fin was butchered by man. I guess it's possible that a really big shark did the bite underneath, but unlikely imho.

Isn't something like 80% of the sea undiscovered all sorts of things down there we don't know about. Scary

How can you be so sure?.

Dark_Angel · 27 Oct 2009 at 17:07

To be honest it was likely freefaller went for a swim after one of his workouts and got hungry and looked for a snack!

Main reason is that sharks without dorsal fins can't swim, and so sink to the bottom of the sea straight away. If it sank how did the fisherman catch it? According to the article it was caught on a baited hook attached to a buoy, can you honestly see a shark in that state, that cannot swim deciding to have a wee snack?

There are other reasons too - the shape of the bite is different, the fact that the shark was still alive and not eaten by whatever "monster" did that to it.
