There are some huge monsters tall like skyscrapers in the deep ocean you guys would shit your pants if you knew of the monsters that lay await in the deep end.
The shark, referred to as Shark Alpha, plunged to a depth of 1,900 feet down a continental shelf at 4 a.m. on Christmas Eve. Right before the depth change there was a temperature rise that occurred suddenly. The temperature in the shark's surroundings was at 46 degrees then jumped up to 78 degrees in a matter of seconds.Scientists believe that the only way the temperature change that drastic could happen is if the shark was in the belly of another animal. The predator would have to be big enough to swallow a shark of that size, which means there was a super-predator out there in the ocean unseen as of yet.
Once again, all they know is that the TAG was eaten...whether or not the ENTIRE SHARK was swallowed is completely unknown, and just serves as pointless speculation for making headlines
Eleven years ago a healthy female great white shark was tagged and then monitored after it was returned to the waters of Australian's Southern Ocean. The shark was part of a research project studying species movements throughout the ocean.The scientists monitored information coming from the shark, using both the internal and external data transmitted back from the technology fitted to the shark's tag. Besides monitoring the shark's health it also covered its surroundings, such as the water temp and the depth of the ocean it was in at any given time.The mystery begins four months after the shark was tagged. The shark's monitoring tags washed up on a beach, only two and a half miles from where it was originally tagged and let go in the ocean. Scientists analyzed the data coming from the shark in the days before it died, which is how they came to the conclusion that the shark was devoured by a super-predator.
Similar size shark is Greenland 1, can grow over 6m/20ft & also live in deep waters.Not much is known about this big fish.
Except the Greenland Shark is pretty sluggish, and doesn't eat the type of prey that the Great White does. It's not built for "run and gun". Take a look at the deeply forked caudal fin of the Great White and other Lamnidae. All are built for active pursuit.
This. The orca could had just bite a chunk of the shark.
What creature could bite a "chunk" or the tag of a Great White Shark?? (I thought the great white was the apex of all underwater predators)
No. Sperm whale, orca,then great white. Why couldn't a bigger great white bite that chunk?
I don't know (def no expert in marine life) I would love Megalodon to still exist tho/the world is far too boring
No Megas, Mike. Sorry. No Sasquatch or Loch Ness either.
FUCK THAT SHIT, Loch Ness is real
Sasquatch is Real! He used to post here on Getbig dressed in a bunnysuit a while ago!
