Adventure In Adventure OutWas a 9-Foot-Long Shark Eaten Off of Australia?
An 11yo incident off the coast of Australia has recently come to light, and it’s a fascinating one.
Four months after ‘shark alpha’ was tagged with a radio tracker, its unit washed up on shore only miles from where it had been tagged. After reviewing the data, researchers believe that the radio tag took an eight-day ride in the belly of a massive great white.
It is possible that in a fight with another shark the device was bitten off, but scientists are entertaining the possibility that the entire shark was consumed by a “colossal cannibal great white shark.”
