White shark eat cannibalism in front of the bow

The 4-meter-long white shark suddenly rushed out of the water to snatch the black-fin shark that researchers are pulling onto the ship.

Researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences found white cannibalistic behavior in white sharks during an expedition off the coast of Sandbridge, USA, about 5.6 km, Fox News reported on June 12. They conducted a survey through long-line fishing and found 41 sharks. When the crew pulled the fish to bite, a nearly 4 meter white shark appeared and took away the 1.2 meter long black shark.

The team rushed to save the remaining 40 sharks. The white shark swam after the meal, before the scientists could drag it onto the ship, and leave a mess. ' We did not expect its appearance. It confuses our line, ' said researcher Kaitlyn O'Brien, who took the picture.

Despite catching many white sharks in that area before, the researchers were shocked by the size of the animal. The Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences began studying the Atlantic shark in 1973 during the VIMS Shark Survey project. This is the longest independent study of shark populations in the world. VIMS research team goes to sea once a month from June to September to survey local shark populations. They wear shark tags and take DNA samples before releasing them to the sea.
