An Australian fisherman has found the remains of a shark
that has clearly been bifurcated. Trapman "Jason" Bermagui reeled in
the severed head and front fins of a dead mako shark. That fragment in itself
weighed over fifteen stone and the entire shark would have been about twelve
feet long. This comes after several other similar events including a great
white shark being found in 2017, also in Australia ,
with its head missing. These sharks appear to have been attacked and bitten. Source:

The question is: what lies beneath the waves that is big enough to bite one of
the largest known ocean predators in half? The frightening answer might be:
something unknown that is bigger. Could it be a meg? Last year a film came out
called The Meg which developed an
idea that inspired Peter Benchley when he wrote his novel Jaws which was adapted into a famous film by Steven Spielberg. The
story of Jaws is about three men who
go out to sea in a fishing boat to catch a shark that has been terrorizing a
seaside holiday resort. The shark is thought to be a great white, the largest known
living predatory shark, but it turns out to be far bigger than they expect. The
classic line from the movie script is: "We're going to need a bigger
boat." Benchley did wonder if it was possible that the meg could still be
alive and left that question obvious but unspoken in his book. The megalodon is
a shark thought to have become extinct about three million years ago. It was
enormous, up to sixty feet long, and its teeth were five inches long. It used
to eat turtles, whales, large fish and other sharks. Humans were not around in
our present form back then, but if we had been it would definitely not have
been safe to go back into the water. There is no direct evidence of a living
megalodon in today's world, but clearly something with a very big mouth and
sharp teeth is biting apex marine predators in half. This article claims that
it could actually be a giant turtle, see: https://www.einpresswire.com/article/480576739/is-the-shark-eating-super-predator-a-species-of-giant-turtle.
Scientists know less about the deep ocean than they know about some of the
planets in our solar system. Reports of strange creatures encountered at sea are
constantly appearing. New species are often being discovered, such as the
megamouth shark in 1976, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megamouth_shark.
There are other former cryptids found to be real like the giant squid. Also
extinct creatures found not to have died out like the coelacanth. Hopefully the
Centre for Fortean Zoology crew can pull their waders on and solve this
mystery. In the meantime, I wouldn't let this put you off bathing in the sea if
you enjoy seaside holidays. Just take the usual precautions; don't swim too far
from the beach, don't swim in the sea while drunk, don't swim if you have an
open wound etc.
