A really big shark got gobbled up by another, massive shark in 1st known case of its kind

🦈 **The Bermuda Shark Predation Event** In a recent, rare event, a large Porbeagle shark was devoured by an even bigger shark near Bermuda, swallowing even its tracking device. Here are some quick facts: - Porbeagle sharks can grow up to 12 feet long and patrol the Northern Atlantic Ocean. - They have muscular forms and spear-like teeth, making them formidable predators. - This is the first recorded case of a Porbeagle shark getting preyed on. 🔬 **The Predation Discovery** Researchers from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality were tracking a pregnant Porbeagle using a satellite transmitter and a pop-off satellite archival tag (PSAT). Unexpectedly: - In December 2020, the shark started diving to depths up to 2,600 feet during the day. - On March 24, 2021, the tag recorded unusual temperature patterns indicating it was inside another shark's stomach. - Likely predators are either a white shark or a shortfin mako. 🐟 **Implications for the Porbeagle Population** This discovery underscores the complexity of large predator interactions and has implications for the Porbeagle population, already under threat from overfishing. They are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. #SharkPredation #BermudaSharks #PorbeagleShark #MarineBiology #MarinePredators #EndangeredSpecies #UnderwaterEcology #SharkResearch #OceanLife #WhiteShark #ShortfinMako.
