The
scientists claim their new data matched all of the tracking information
from the disappeared shark: The body temperature they registered was the
same and the size of the cannibal great white shark—which they
estimated to be 16 foot long and weigh over 2 tons—could easily pull off
the same speed and trajectory captured in the tracking device.
It
makes sense: The only thing that could reasonably eat a shark is
something that resembles a shark, only bigger. The bigger the shark, the
bigger the bully. The studies show how smaller sharks immediately
vacate the waters when they sense a giant one is nearby. Well, that and
krakens and kaijus and secret weaponized alien megalodons.
As
for why a larger shark would cannibalize a smaller shark, the study suggested theories about how it could have been attacked.
Maybe it was a territorial dispute. Perhaps even a hunger induced
attack. Finally it settled on a hypothesis that makes the most sense: Big sharks eat little sharks.
