A pregnant porbeagle shark was swallowed whole by an even larger shark, likely a great white or a shortfin mako, in a rare and unexpected predatory event. This is the first recorded instance of a porbeagle shark being eaten by another shark, highlighting the complex interactions within the ocean’s ecosystem.
In a rare and unusual event, a Burmese python was observed consuming a reticulated python in Bangladesh. This could be the first known instance of these two giant snake species preying on each other, according to scientists. The encounter occurred at a wildlife farm where the ranges of both species overlap.
Scientists have documented three instances of orcas preying on sharks in the Gulf of California, raising concerns about the potential impact on the ecosystem. While orcas have always hunted sharks, the recent increase in observations may be due to improved technology, and the long-term consequences remain unclear.
