In recent news a 11.5 foot long Great White Shark was dragged up in trawler nets. Whilst an unusual occurrence in itself for such a beast to have been caught this creature was already dead, and having almost been bitten in half.

The leviathan is suspected to be roughly twenty foot long and currently prowling near Queensland Beach, the killer shark’s suspected length being only five foot shorter than that of the titular monster from the film Jaws.
Authorities are remaining cautious of this event and are warning people to stay out of the water due to this incident, though some individuals are regarding this is being a hoax or fake with increasing pressure being put on the Queensland State Government to take down the protective nets surrounding the beaches due to frequent damage done to the local wildlife.



Until a giant squid can be found to battle this creature to the death*, it is unsure as of yet what methods shall be taken place to further deter or even deal with such a predator.

*Apologies for the bad movie reference.

whoa, something is out there...


of course it could be another "Balloon Boy"

Watch it be a harmless Orca.

Holy mother of Haruhi.

This is, disturbing.

Well that looks like fun...

I think it just wants to cuddle though.

Cool it took 3 sentences until the blow up the story beyond repair. Shark aren't violent creatures, there very shy and think about there attacks and most of the times the chicken out of it.

I say it's an Orca. Great Whites tend to be their chew toys.

Yeah yeah, test biting usually isn't fatal. It's too bad that a "test bite" will most likely be otherwise in this big guy's case.

It's also the Dailymail. + 1 ton of salt.

I'm not impressed until it bites a plane out of mid air. Then, and only then, will I worry about the shark.

And then us and China will surround it and a giant squid will fight it to the death, right?

Orcas don't eat sharks.

Also, cool.

Orca eating a Great White.

Willy wouldn't do such things D:.

Willy especially would do such things.

Willy wouldn't do such a thing, but Shamoo, that's a different story altogether. You don't $%&@ with Shamoo...period....

Seems dogs are getting in on the action, too.

Shamoo is stupid.

Don't tell that to Shamoo.

WTF DID I JUST SAY?!?!?!

Orca tend to finish what they started. It isn't an Orca probably.

Well, what if it means there are still Megalodons prowling the seas?

We know where to throw Paris Hilton.

A 20-foot Great White isn't really that improbable but .... don't the edges of that big "bite" wound look way too clean, like it was sawed, not torn like a shark would do?

Alaska?

That's a photoshop.

That is a photoshop.

PHOTOSHOP.

You can tell because of the pixels.

And because he's seen quite a few shops in his time.



How did the shark get bitten on both sides the same way?

An Act of God (or Raptor-Shark-Jesus, whichever comes first?)?

I am not an ichthyologist, but I do not think that shark innards are that solid and pink.

Shark teeth don't actually tear... they slice.

So it would be plausible that the bite was that symmetrical... as for the same cut on both sides, I think the shark could have got bitten from it's left side... the top cut from the top jaw and the bottom cut from the bottom jaw. This would have to mean that the majority of the left side should be gone, but unfortunately we can't see it.

Imma play the devil's advocate and say its real.

Exactly. It can even go on Pay per view!

Pretty normal, and If it was there for a long time there wouldn't be any blood left.

That's what I think too! Looks fake to me

The symmetrical-looking bite marks are what look fishy to me. I've seen stuff bitten by sharks that look pink like that.

They do if they're made of watermelon!

THE PLOT THICKENS.

Orcas could if they felt like it.

The evil shark overlords have been overthrown.

rofl - yay for Balloon Boy!

Poor shark.

I hope we don't find the big one.

That's what I thought at well...


... either that or it was the work of a Flying Crocodile.

Or worse we find the big one with bites out of it...

Definatly Flying Crocodile. There's no other explanation.

NONE. WHAT SO EVER.

Maybe its Steve Iriwin back from the grave sending a warning to the sting rays.

Om nom nom nom, eh?


Too soon man...

Well I live in Queensland and have seen the news footage of the dead shark but I suppose that was photo shopped too >_>

I know little about Orca's, but I'd have assumed the waters off Queensland would be a bit warm for them.

Doesn't show footage, but they're speaking as if they've studied it in the flesh.

All I gotta say to that.

Orca live everywhere, even the Med.

We need a bigger boat!

Its always to soon
