I and a friend were surfing in the early 1970's at Clifford Bay NZ. We had "long boards", not the skimpy little things you see these days. I think my board was 8 foot. Anyway, we were lying on the boards paddling out to a point break about 300 metres offshore on a dull overcast summers day. Suddenly my mate sat up on his board, turned, was on his knees and paddling back past me to shore and as he went by, he quietly said "shark". I didn't really comprehend his message and I dozily raised myself up on the board to look eyeball to eyeball with a huge Great White [he looked to be twice the size of my board - but hey, it was big]. I froze and watched him as he watched me and he gracefully moved without any effort, through the crystal clear water about a board length in front of me. We kept eye contact until he got so far across from me that he flicked his eye back to the front and continued his quest for fish that may have been disoriently by the surf - so I presumed. I got up on my knees and paddled that board right up onto the beach! We opened a couple of bottles of beers and drank them down with the froth we had made from our shaking hands!. I haven't been surfing since then; in my 70's now and don't think I ever will be back on a board! When you see just how powerful these creatures are, how with only muscle rippling they can move through the water, you realise that you are in their domain and there at their pleasure.

The tagged shark Alpha was 2,7 meters long (9 feet), which is less than half the size of the largest great white shark ever recorded (7 meters/23,5 feet). Sharks are famously opportunists and can perfectly well decide to be cannibalistic if hungry enough. They can also dive very deep, especially larger specimens dive to lower depths than the smaller ones. To reiterate the size difference between the tagged female and the largest recorded great white; Shark Alpha was half a meter (2,7 feet) longer than André the Giant, and the largest specimen was 1,2 meters or four feet and change longer than the tallest giraffe recorded (George, at 5,8 meters/19 feet)

Around 40 years ago, I was having a conversation with a retired fisherman whom at one time had also captained the URI research vessel out of Narraganset RI. I asked him what the strangest thing he had ever brought up in his nets was. He initially told me left over torpedoes and such from WWII. There is still a sunken U-boat off block island to this day. So, I said to him I was interested in strange sea life. His response was a 25 foot long, 5,000-pound great white shark came up in his net once. It was 1 mile off Charlestown beach in RI (Block Island sound). At that time, I didn't know that great whites usually didn't exceed 16 feet. After all I grew up with Jaws lol. All these years later I hear about megalodon and ever since I cannot help but be suspicious that he had in fact caught a young megalodon. They cut it up and tossed it overboard if I remember correctly because there was no market for that type of fish then. His catching incident happened approximately 80 years ago as it happened about 40 years before he told me the story. He was in his 80's at the time of the conversation. This a true story. It was a pity he hadn't taken a picture of it.

A 16 foot Great White is not exactly abnormal, Great Whites are known to grow up to 20' in length. Granted, 20 footers are very uncommon these days because they've been hunted so heavily in the past, thanks in no small part to the movie Jaws, but they can grow that large. So a 16 footer, while quite large for a Great White these days, is hardly anything abnormal.

Some years back off the coast of Australia, a great white was hauled in from a shark net. Prob 4m or so IIRC. Poor shark was dead cos a huge bite had been taken out of it. Half metre jaw diameter, which equates to a 6.5-7m great white. So there's at least 1 out there

Deep Blue as they named a huge female Great White is around 24 feet long or 7+ meters. I live in South Australia and have been seeing Whites here since I was 4 years old, i'm over 60 now and I can assure you 18 footers have been seen often here with some sightings of 20+ feet recorded. I've had an easy 18 footer come up to our boat while snapper fishing with my father in the 1960s which was the length of our boat which was 18 feet. Numerous others saw the same shark which attacked a couple of the other boats

Around Australia and Guadalupe Island most of the great whites that are tagged tend to be between 11 and 18 feet in length so a 17 ft great white seems less likely to have gigantism and more likely to be an adult of average size. Shark Alpha was just a very unlucky juvenile.

I've seen a 9 foot shark attacked by a 12 foot shark, then get chewed to pieces by 6 others after being incapacitated by the first big bite. I've seen feeding frenzies with several different predators competing for pieces of the victim. Perhaps a giant squid grabbed the shark & dove with it, as they would, then some other sharks followed it down to try to get a piece of the pie, and one of them ended up with the tracker.

As a scuba diver, I have seen large fish bite the tail off a smaller fish. They watch the victim try to swim away then swoop in and swallow the rest. So as to the tag, it would be inside the large fish immediately. The plunging down to 1900 feet is odd. Lacking better information when this actually happens. Instead, the larger shark fish then finishes the rest of the smaller shark fish then plunges down to 1900 feet now totally full and ready to sleep at depth in the dark undisturbed.

Maybe is was that black demon shark that has been reported quite a few tine now. Fun fact: There is a well known case of sharks disapearing from a big ocean tank expo. The keepers thaught that bigger sharks/predators were eating them but they could not prove it and couldnt cut them open either. So they kept their vigil and eventually caught the culprit. The big pride of the tank a huge octopus had developed a taste for shark. It hunted from them at night and then dragged them back to his hole to gobbled them up.

Depending on how the tracker was attached to the fin, I believe that whatever creature attacked the shark, resulted in the tracking device detaching from the shark ( along with a chunk of the dorsal fin and falling into an underwater vent of some sort and rising in temperature, before floating to the surface after the flesh it was attached to was either; melted, eaten, or the tag somehow became removed in which it floated to the surface. I'm not sure how plausible that is but let me know what you think, is this a plausible theory? Edit: Nevermind I just found out the video just takes 25 minutes to tell you what actually happened...

The idea of a massive cannibal shark is as equally terrifying as an unknown creature. If anything this has shown a new behavior pattern for a specific population of great whites. As for the larger shark plummeting to deep depths to eat the shark, lots of great white attacks on people have a resulted in the sharks dragging the victim to the bottom and tearing the person to pieces on the seafloor. This occurred in that horrific attack in Tasmania where the father/daughter duo we're diving for scallops. When the father failed to surface, she dove down look for him and saw a great white pinning him to the seafloor tearing him up. Sharks either impact from below, or rapidly descend when they capture prey to disorient prey.
@ginaharden2111
@ginaharden2111 Жыл бұрын
the pinning is common for sharks because it gives them leverage and they can hold the victim whilst attacking versus pushing on the victim inadvertently while killing and/or consuming and the prey is pushed further from them - a horrific example

all sharks are cannibals This does not show any new behavior pattern for a specific population of great whites at all.... The depth the tag changed temp at was not that deep. They said later they have been recorded as deep as 4k GW attacks are not common and you have no way of recording or showing recordings of the behavior that you are saying is common. Going to the bottom of the ocean to eat there... you are making that up Scallops are shallow water animals so they were relatively shallow which is why the story went that way. Whites bite and thrash if the object is large (whales) or they bite and shake to get a mouthful as their teeth are not meant to chew by crushing. This event is not endemic of all GW attacks Sharks dive to get away from other sharks the same reason predatory animals on land grab something and try to run off with it. As not to share When you weren't just assuming things you were either making them up and asserting them as scientifically proven fact or repeating something someone else said that you are now asserting as fact

Not sure why 16 feet is somehow a "super shark" it is a large white shark, but 16 to 20 feet or so is far from unheard of. The largest female I believe was around 21 feet and incredibly heavy bodies at almost 2 ton. That would make it twice as long as probably about 3 to 4 times heavier than the shark that was eaten. Also it could have just taken a large bite from the smaller shark swallowing the tracker then diving down. Not really that crazy.

If it's a swarm attack they'll tear the tag off during an attack, either making the tag float or eaten on the spot. So it won't be possible to get the "sharp turn>plunging down>temperture spike" data. The tag data suggested a behavior pattern only single predator can make, that's why their first hypothesis was already "a super predator".

Further in Brittanica, "Sperm whales are deep divers, commonly reaching a depth of about 350 metres (1,150 feet), and have been found tangled in cables more than 1,000 metres (3,280 feet) below the surface."

I'm sticking with Orca. Because the readings came back that the tag was dragged to that depth at a warm temperature we assume the whole shark was with it. As we know from the beginning of the video the shark was tagged on the back of It's dorsal fin. That means an Orca could've easily taken a chunk out of it. They're also a creature known to waste their food. I watched three chase a mum and baby whale for over three hours ( David Attenborough ) only to eat the baby's jaw and f*ck off like a bunch of pr*cks lol. They also use penguins for sport and eat very little of them after they're done. I'll wait for further evidence but my money's still on the Orcas being the culprit for this one 🤷‍♀

Going back to the question on whether squids eat sharks frequently or not, based on the fact that we only got either one or very few occurances of sharks alive from squid attacks, I can assume that there are 2 possibilities. 1. Squids rarely attack sharks, and if they did it would be for self defense, thats why we only find a few attacks. 2. Squids frequently eat sharks and they are so efficient at killing them that almost none make it out alive.

Try to think how practical it would really be for a squid (even a really big one) to kill a shark, all they've got are tentacles and a beak. A squid could wrap a shark up with its tentacles but what good is that going to do? The shark weighs more, is significantly more powerful and can't be choked/restrained. The beak of squid/octopus are pretty strong but they're not exactly designed for doing lethal damage to a large shark, sharks are exceptionally hard to kill so unless that beak is big enough to bite a shark in half it's just not going to be practical for a quick kill.

Being attached specifically to the base of the dorsal fin, are we absolutely sure the tag didn't just get removed and tossed overboard by shark poachers where it sank to the bottom before getting accidentally mistaken for prey by a reasonably sized creature that hunts by sensing movement, and consumed THAT way? You know, Occam's razor and all that. Remember, the tag was not necessarily tracking the shark the entire time, just itself.

My opinion is the tracking device and Dorsal Fin Portion was the only portion in fact eaten by perhaps another shark in warmer waters at surface level before submerging to the depths before its body temp cooled, or an unknown warm blooded undiscovered creature... ;-) just another possibility ;-)

Alpha was chased 2x by its killer on 2 different days. The young shark quickly dove deep as it's evasive behavior, but was at last caught in the depth on its second dive. The killers internal temp was warmer than great whites, but too cold to be a mammal. In fact, the internal temp actually matches up to those of the leatherback sea turtle. But, as we all know, leatherbacks are jellyfish predators and not shark eaters, and even the largest of them would not dare tackling a 9 ft great white. The data showed that after being eaten, the killer stayed up near the surface for 8 days maintaining that temp until the tag was "excreted" from the killers digestive tract. The 8-day digestive period further proves its not the handiwork of a large shark as sharks digest and excrete their waste in a matter of a couple of days. The 8 day period also matches up to those of the leatherback, therefore, this leads to what some think may be a giant undiscovered species of predatory turtle. I'm not sure if I remembered this correctly, there was a sighting decades ago by a fisherman of a gigantic shell-less looking sea turtle of roughly 38ft in length, and I believe that witness may have also took a photograph of the creatures head and a bit of the neck sticking out of the water...

First off the Temp of a great white shark is close enough to the tag shown , also white sharks are cold blooded so there body temp will change just based off how much they are moving and the surrounding water. They have data of a core white shark in about the same temp of water at around 80 degrees *F. On top of that since they are a fish there sizes can be far more different then just based off age and any data taken for getting a white shark core temp could be different based off size , where is the data that says that can not be a factor? Then trying to say that a great white only rakes 2 days to complete it's eating and waste cycle does not hold up since they have found a lot of different stuff in sharks stomachs that were in there longer then 2 days , The tracker was made out of materials that a shark stomach is not able to digest the same way they would of things of there normal diet. last the swimming around the same spot for 8 days does not mean anything since if a shark ate something that size it would not be looking for food the next day and was probably just hanging around to digest it's meal and as pointed out in this video or other data that the area is known to have white sharks and we also know that a shark will hang around the spot area for lengths of time. all hat said your theory is not the craziest I have seen and over the years it has been pointed out while white sharks are apex predator's they have weaknesses that other sea life has figured out to exploit. Large shark for the most part do not mess with dolphins even though you would think they would be an easy meal but dolphins have learned to bash sharks in the gills . These are things that make your theory not impossible but I still think it was just a bigger shark and again the shark being called "big" at 9 feet is not true and a 16 feet white shark is big but they have proven to have come across white sharks that get over 20 feet and while I cannot say for sure it sounds much more likely then a deformed sized turtle that you forget needs to breath air and at most a leatherback is thought to be able to hold it's breathe in cold water for up to 7 hours but only with very vety little movement and it seems like it would be very hard for a turtle to drag a shark down to those depths and eat it without coming up for air within a short time frame.

The latest theories about Livyatan Melvillei going extinct actually have to do with their *prey* going extinct. They were thought to prey primarily on smaller warm-blooded whales, the precursors of our baleen whales. These in turn depended on widely scattered, abundant patches of krill in the warm waters they swam in, and right behind them were Megalodon and Livyatan Melvillei. But when the waters turned cold, the krill these small whales depended on began to gather in much colder waters, and concentrate. Big whales - VERY big whales - had the insulation necessary to survive those cold waters, the giant mouths to take large batches of krill, and most importantly they could fast for a good part of the year - the small whales could not. So the little guys went extinct because they couldn't handle the changed patterns of their prey. What took their place, the ancestors of giants like Right Whales, Bowhead Whales, and Blue Whales, were far too big for even these mega-predators to eat. One slap of the flukes of a Blue Whale would be enough to fatally damage even a Megalodon or Livyatan. And so when the little whales went, so did Megalodon and Livyatan Melvillei, starved to extinction by the loss of their primary prey.

It was a morning picture of a spectacular surf wave with a huge shark, estimated to be 50 feet (17m) in length. I didn't think it anything special at the time because I thought great white sharks could grow to 50 ft. I always thought sea creatures kept growing until they died, so I guessed it was an old shark. I can still remember the image - the shark was a monster. I Have since wondered if the photographer accidentally captured a megalodon shark patrolling the surf line.

Fun video! By the way, 16 feet in an adult great white isn't gigantism, it's the average size of a fully adult female, though it is very much on the biggest side for males. The largest females have been measured at 20-21 feet. I could see easily how one of the more massive female great whites took Shark Alpha.

Given the massiveness of the oceans, it honestly doesn't make much difference the size of the creature when it comes to how often we might see it. If a Megalodon were to have the same habits as other animals we do often see then I suppose the chances are very small. If it happened to dwell in only the deeper waters then I guess our chances of seeing it are based on how many underwater rovers we have out there.

It didn't have gigantism. Great whites can reach 20 ft in length. 16 ft is average size for females, but they can get bigger without having gigantism. Deep Blue is 20 ft and still doesn't have gigantism.

I’ve read people’s comments regarding ocean 🌊 mystery & many known & unknown ocean 🌊 beasts roaming in the deepest parts. 95% of our oceans unexplored, we only explored 5% still haven’t listed all names of ocean marines because of huge numbers of varieties. Now let’s talk about the unknown & unexplored part we never ventured in & what lies near the surface or in deepest part. As u know ? 71% of our planet 🌎 is blue which means it’s water & only 29% is land & within our land territory we have soo many monsters & mysteries too solve about but still much is unknown, over vast worlds territory. If aren’t familiar what’s lurking about in our remote lands but how is possible, for us to know what’s underneath our ocean 🌊 there’s demonic ocean beasts or prehistoric monstrous deadliest marines might be lurking 👀 in our oceans looking for their next supper. For example Pacific Ocean is the largest among all oceans on earth has area bigger than all lands of 7 continents, imagine what type of marine life or maybe paranormal monsters lurking in our oceans may caused instant kill of Alpha Shark

I think shark alpha may not be necessarily dead. There was a struggle between the shark and another shark or whale. The tag came off and most probably wound up in the mouth of a shark or whale that dives that deep. Sperm whale is 1 candidate. It could also stay without air for hours.

This is a puzzle & I have offered my own take on this. 1990 headed to the Channel Islands from Santa Barbara on my 30ft Cris Craft Scorpion @ full throttle, I saw an 8-10ft dorsal crest @ 10:00. I called my friend up & told her to watch @ 2:00 & the fin crested again. Black on top & white markings below. A giant Orca. Easily 10ft longer than my boat. HUGE. Perhaps it took a dive & the shark to crush depth then back up to the surface to kill the shark in it's belly. B4 y'all dismiss this as not usual Orca behavior, there are exceptions to all rules. It fits. Extrapolate the facts logically

i have witnessed a 60 megaldon twice in the bay of baja californa. both times I had a woman with me. These two events occured at different times. We were on cruise ships and took tours to parasail from a speed boat on Baja Bay, Seeimg the creature from the parasail, and being an engineer, it was easy to calculate the length of the shark at 60 or 65 feet long. The incrdidible thing was the neon green glowing fins the first time and neon blue glowing fins the second time.
