Female sand tiger shark eats a male banded hound shark

 


The 8-year-old, 7'3” female apparently first attacked the smaller, 5-year-old male in early evening, but it took her 21 hours to get the majority of her prey/enemy/roommate into her mouth; by the next day, visitors were treated to the site of only his tail hanging from her toothy maw.

“Sharks have their own territory. However, sometimes when they bump against each other, they bite out of astonishment, shark swallowed the whole body, because they usually eat it all when they bite the head part.”
The male will suffer an even more embarrassing fate post-mortem: His tail will likely remain dangling out of the female's mouth for the next four or five days. Then, the parts of him that she's unable to digest, she will regurgitate in about a week.
