Snip ...
Researchers were tagging great whites to study their movements. In the process, they tagged a nine-foot female, who left the area safely. Four months later, her tag was found on a beach near where she was first caught -- and the data tells a very interesting story.
"It showed this profile going down the shelf to 580 meters, then a huge temperature change ... another living animal," said a Smithsonian researcher.
Yes, it appears that the nine-foot great white was eaten. The big question? What ate her? Whatever it was, it had to be big enough to swallow almost 10 feet of apex predator, and quick enough to drag it almost 2,000 feet in a few seconds.
So, what is it? A giant squid? Godzilla? A Megalodon? Well, actually, that last one is not too far off from the real theory....

Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite them, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum works both ways, although in this case it may be Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

I don't know what it could be but I do know we should pour tens of millions of taxpayer dollars into further research.
As if they weren't going to already.

There is a shark tooth in that photo?
I remember reading an article from a guy who sold
fossilized shark teeth about how in spite of his
warning people, lots of them cut themselves handling
these teeth, still sharp after all these years.
