Concerns were raised after a 3m great white shark was found dead with two huge bites taken out of its body.

Experts believe the bites were made by an even larger predatory fish.

Swimmers have been warned to stay out of the waters off Stradbroke Island, north of Brisbane.

"It certainly opened up my eyes. I mean the shark that was caught is a substantial shark in itself," Jeff Krause of Queensland Fisheries told the Sydney Daily Telegraph. Surfers have reacted to the news of the shark attack with shock.

"Whatever attacked and took chunks out of this big shark must be massive," said Ashton Smith, 19. "I've heard about the big one that's lurking out there somewhere.

"We're all being very, very cautious."


And i don't blame them!

I don't know if this is the appropriate place but i couldn't just let this pass me by.

A real life JAWS?

Either way, its an incredible story and accompanying picture.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water......

Peace.

The thing I find amazing is the poor bugger was still alive..



2 bites out of it (1 either side) and it still went and got caught on a buoy hook line.

The photograph looks fake to me. Would there be such a clean bite? Would the insides be one solid pinkish color?

I thought about that too. Could be they didn't want to get that close to the head and end end up like Robert Shaw. Also the tail fins may have been thrashing around too much to cut them off.

Peace

Maybe.. The price of fins on the black market is substantial and I'd imagine they'd take the risk..

But whatever happen the poor bugger suffered before he was finally hauled in.

I'm trying to find some pics of a really huge shark jaw. Those pics are jaws that are alive.

Sharks dont care, they eat anything, and if they are in a feeding frenzy they are scary!

The problem is, they tow the dead whales and sharks to this area so they don't stink up pretty Queensland, where they get eaten by predators. Free lunch everyday, no wonder they are so big.

I really dont think they have any clue about the size (and species) of a lot of fish out there.



This one was yummy

There is no proof that Megladon ever existed, what was found was a tooth, shark cartilage does not fossilize.
