Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!

So that's where it wandered off to.... thanks for the heads up.

*calls for the plane to begin fueling*

ALPHAAAAA?

Chaz, m'boy, you have competition.

Crickey!

Isn't Daily Mail generally regarded as bullshit?

Well, the comment section at least keeps claimin' that the photo is 'shopped.

Even the smaller shark looks surprised

Shego, I wasn't agreeing, just pointing out what was said. Which, for the record, sounded inane.

That bite is awfully clean and neat for a shark. I call bullshit.

The hell you talking about? They finally caught evidence of my work.

Razor sharp teeth make for clean and neat chunks of flesh ripped out.

I hereby sentence you to watch 12 straight hours of shark week.

Looks awfully fake to me.

Hell, the 10ft shark is scary enough. Charlie doesn't surf, and neither do I.

Since this is the daily mail, I'd say there's a 50% chance that the story is real, and a 90% chance that the photo is shopped.

It doesn't even look like a good shop.

Looks shopped to me too, though I'm no expert.

And when I read the OP my first thought was Megalodon.

Watch the embedded video guys. They use the same picture.

They should have used:



:uhhuh:

Is that shopped? Hmm... maybe it... well, a shark probably couldn't be that size, but... hmm... then again... a shark might not be able to jump like that... I dunno...

I find that suspicious, actually. There's no other footage or evidence that it happened, other than that photo?

The article itself doesn't even sound believable.

They interviewed a 19-year-old surfer, talked about a 21-year-old student being "killed off" (wonderful tact) and claim the shark in the photo was "badly injured".

Badly injured? That motherfucker would be DEAD.

Awful shoop. The reason it looks wrong to us is because it's WRONG.

To me, the photo in the OP looks like it is a smooth line that has been drawn on rather than one with a more ragged edge like that dead sea lion you posted.

And I have probably watched more shows on sharks over the years than you'd believe. I wanted to be a marine biologist with a specialty in shark studies. I couldn't get my PADI certification thanks to my sinuses and being prone to motion sickness, so I didn't bother pursuing my degree. My dream was to move to Australia and swim with those beautiful creatures without a cage.

Thing that bothers me about the picture in the OP is the lack of innards. Unlike the seal pic where there is clearly still organs and etc. The OP pic is just clean meat.

What did the bigger shark do, bite in and suck the filling out like a twinkie?

Oh God, I'm so sorry.

What gets me is the lack of blood pouring out the gaping wounds.

Unless... IT'S A ZOMBIE SHARK!

How is that a punishment?

Yeah. I don't understand its sudden rise in popularity.

Because they report awesome Jawslike stories that, real or not, are still awesome.

Reason it looks shopped to me- the white frothy water continues in a straight line through the bite. Because the shark's body makes a cavern, the water should have different eddies there.

Shopped or not, have there not been great whites up to 20 feet before?
