A 15-foot-long great white shark found washed up on a beach in South Africa had just eaten a dolphin — before it was itself ravaged by an even bigger predator, in a first recorded in the region.

The shark was found on Nyara River Mouth on the Eastern Cape on May 29 — after trophy hunters had already illegally stolen its sought-after teeth, according to Marine Biologist Alison Towner.

Photos showed its largely intact carcass on the sand — with another of a “freshly consumed” 6-foot-6 common dolphin that was found “cleanly severed into four pieces” inside the shark, the scientist observed.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

I’ve got a bone to pick with Steven Spielberg. His 1975 blockbuster “Jaws” made sharks out to be crazed, maneating monsters, tapping into a near-universal fear of what lies beneath the vast ocean. With one film, Spielberg put so many people off swimming in open water forever, that it’s a wonder that anyone still does it.

Ammonites were not in decline before their extinction, scientists have found. The marine molluscs with coiled shells and one of palaeontology’s great icons flourished in Earth’s oceans for more than 350 million years until they died out during the same chance event that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
