160 passengers on a cruise ship at Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, have the opportunity to witness two whale-eating sharks crowding on October 14, according to Business Insider. Joanne Jarzobski, a marine biologist who accompanied the group, was the one who took a series of photographs that recorded the scene.
"We received reports of floating whales in the morning and were asked to record them on a whale watching trip , " Jarzobski said. "At least two children are eating dead whale meat. One of the two very large, estimated 6 meters or more sharks. It's a giant shark."
The cause of the whale's death has not been clarified, according to the tour organizer, Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises. The whale's throat is covered with deep trenches, a feature of this whale."Although seeing dead whales is always a sad experience for us, white sharks are helping make use of the corpse," the company representative said.
Jarzobski also stressed that seeing sharks eating whale fish is a good sign."As an important species in the environment, sharks have many bad voices, but their appearance is a sign of a healthy ecosystem," Jarzobski said.
