A PREGNANT shark prematurely gave birth after another shark bit into it's stomach, releasing four baby sharks.

The attack happened in front of shocked visitors at Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World in Auckland, reports the New Zealand Herald.

What an amazing thing to see!!!

(tho the remnants of my cat doing this to rats is a bit unpleasant)

I read about this yesterday and considered posting it but didnt

It truly shows that some animals are smarter than we give them credit for. For a nother shark to actually open up a mother, without killing her or the babies is simply astounding.

Thanks for posting, very interesting stuff S & F

BTW the news source I read if from called it a cesarian birth
