Sep 3, 2024, 08:12 AM

Scientists are investigating the curious case of a pregnant porbeagle shark, which is believed to have been eaten by a larger shark. This incident is particularly concerning given the endangered status of porbeagle sharks. The satellite tag of the missing shark was found inside a much larger marine predator, leading researchers to conclude that a shark-on-shark attack may have occurred. This unexpected development has provided a potential solution to the marine murder mystery and is a worrying sign for the endangered porbeagles.
