A Spanish scientist has captured the moment a blacktip shark continued to swim like a zombie after being partially eaten by other bull sharks after being released in the Indian Ocean.
The event occurred near the coast of Mozambiqueafter the Spanish scientist Mario Lebrato he released a shark and was attacked by about 10 sharks almost immediately, leaving the shark badly injured, with many of its organs exposed.
Lebrato said once the shark freed itself from the rope securing it to the boat, the animal swam to the depths, where it succumbed to its wounds and died about 20 minutes later, the Daily Mail reported.
Everything seemed to be a normal day for Lebrato, a scientist who devotes most of his days to saving sharks. This was exactly what he was doing when he was stunned to see a zombie shark. The animal was “half eaten” by his fellows as he tried to continue devouring all the fish he found in his path. While the situation is worthy of a movie, the truth is that there is research showing that these apex predators They have been eating each other for more than a millennium.
The bloody images he managed to capture already are viral. Is that for people these typical actions of the animal world do not cease to amaze. The expert was releasing a blacktip reef shark into the ocean when he was the totally mutilated beast appeared. Despite her injuries, she continued to struggle to continue feeding. The man didn’t hesitate for a moment when he took out his camera to record everything.
“Sharks eat sharks, this is known, but it is very difficult to film and document,” explained Lebrato, who ensured that the zombie shark fought for at least 20 minutes against its fellows who usually weigh between 300 and 400 kilos.
During the filming he realized that the animal had he lost virtually all of his lower body. However, he continues to defend me. She even saw him swim away mutilated with him surprised at her after what he managed to film.
