While on a shark tag retrieval, the crew of the ORB Lab – Ocean Exploration, Remote Sensing, Biogeography Lab – at the University of Delaware saw something we wouldn’t believe had they not gotten a picture. The photo they took shows a sand tiger shark that is doing its best to swallow a dogfish shark whole.
The dogfish was initially caught when it ate a menhaden that was bait, moments later, she sand tiger appeared and made a meal out of them both.
“We caught one large female on our first line Friday, but we were not expecting to catch her like this!” ORB Lab said on their Facebook page.
