A pregnant porbeagle shark was consumed by a bigger predator, providing new insights into shark predation dynamics.
- Scientists tracked the porbeagle shark using two satellite tags before it was eaten.
- The incident marks the first documented predation on an adult porbeagle shark.
- Data indicated the predator was likely a great white or shortfin mako shark.
- The findings highlight complex predator interactions in the ocean.
- This discovery could have significant implications for shark conservation efforts.
