Large sharks hunting each other may be more common than previously thought, scientists believe.
Researchers said they have the first documented evidence of a female porbeagle, large sharks found in the waters around Cornwall and the UK coast, being eaten by possibly an even bigger shark.
The team said the findings, published in the journal Frontiers In Marine Science, suggest predators eating each other may be more widespread than thought.
Porbeagle sharks are listed as “vulnerable” in the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List.
