Giant Shark on the Prowl

11/18/2009

Australian authorities think there's a giant great white shark on the prowl in the waters off Brisbane.  The evidence is another great white shark that was bitten nearly in two by a member of its own species. 

Giant Great White

The cannibalized shark was over 11 feet long itself, meaning that the shark that inflicted the massive bite was much, much larger.

The shark featured in the movie Jaws was 25 feet long.  While that shark was purely fictional, the animal that caused the massive wounds pictured here is estimated to be that large.
