In terms of all Great Whites ever measured, and where we could access the size measurements, Shark Alpha is not very big. Work by my student as part of thier work for Sizing Ocean Giants is presented below. Well that is certainly reasonable although not nearly as entertaining. One possibility raised is a cannibalistic and larger Great White ate Shark Alpha. I have also caught multiple sharks that would have been over 10 feet, but only the head remained.” “And one 10-foot tiger shark was eaten by what we are pretty certain was a larger sixgill shark.

“Two 10- to 12-foot sixgill sharks were eaten by what we believe, based on the vertical tracks, were larger tiger sharks,” he wrote. Dean Grubbs, a shark researcher at the Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory, told NBC News in an email, “but it doesn’t take some mysterious giant shark to eat a 9-foot white shark.” Grubbs said he’s had more than one 10- to 12-foot-long tagged shark eaten by other sharks. Well of course there is the mystery of why Scienotainment TV Channels keep spreading the story of a magical ocean full of mermaids, sea monsters, and the long extinct megalodon, but I digress. Multiple news agencies are thankfully pointing out that there really is no mystery here. The narrator of the video, the “researcher” in the video, and others on the internet suggest these facts are consistent with Shark Alpha being eaten by a much larger mysterious predator.Īustralian researchers are hunting for what they call a “mystery sea monster” that devoured a 9-foot-long great white shark.

The recorded temperature of 78˚F lasted for eight days while the tag moved from a depth of 330 feet to the surface.

The tag detected at 580 meters a temperature shift from 46˚F to 78˚F.

Data from the tag indicated that at 4:00 am on Christmas Eve, the tag went quickly to a depth 580 meters (1903 feet) on the continental shelf.

Four months later the tag was found by a beach comber 2.5 miles from where Shark Alpha was originally tagged.

The female, called Shark Alpha, was observed to be healthy and the tag was perfectly placed.

At an undescribed location on the Australian Coast a female 3 meter shark was tagged.To recap the facts (in so much as the facts are accurate on the video) The main line of evidence for this is that the tag recorded a temperature of 78˚F.Ī temperature that can only be achieved inside the belly of another living animal The data from the tag seem to suggest, at least to the narrator and some others on the internet, that a massive ocean monster ate the shark. That electronic tag eventually washed up on a beach. The video is a story of a 3 meter Great White Shark that was tagged. Recently a 2003 video went viral on the internet.
