A shocking video shows 2 great white sharks ripping each other apart in pitiless attacks.

The 2 sharks can be seen lunging at each other and baring their teeth as they thrash around in the water.

The video that was shared on social media is part of Nat Geo Wild’s new show, which is called the Cannibal Sharks.

The footage is considered by many as an incredibly rare.

According to Professor Mark Meekan, a professor at the Australian Institute for Marine Science, said all sharks are cannibals.

Well, that’s something new.

Professor Mark Meekan said, “It’s not just one rogue shark attacking other sharks or even one species of shark attacking other sharks, its lots of different sharks turning on each other.”

Professor Meekan says a number of carcasses are being pulled out of the ocean around the Gold Coast of Australia.

Most of the carcasses that are being pulled out have huge chunks of their flesh bitten out.

Professor Meekan believes this is happening as a result of the measures being taken to keep the sharks away from people who are swimming.

The Gold Coast’s safety measures include nets and bated hook lines.

Once a shark gest hooked by these 2 things, it sends a distress signal, which are later picked by other sharks.

As a result, sharks end up eating each other.

After taking a look at the images that were taken, Professor Meekan said the damage on the other shark was caused by a shark that has a lot of power.

Professor Meekan said, “This is an enormous shark. It’s 12-feet long but look at the size of that bite, it’s absolutely massive. That’s an immense amount of power you need to take a bite out of another shark like that – you have to be pretty big yourself.”

Professor Meekan added, “If I was a betting man, I might even pick another great white shark for that one. These things are apex predators for good reason.”

Luckily, the cannibalistic nature of sharks is not a new development.

Researches that were conducted shows that sharks have been eating each other for over 300 million of years.

A fossilized poop that was taken from the prehistoric orthacanthus, a shark that swam the oceans of the earth 300 million years ago, had fossilized baby shark teeth.

Which shows that sharks did eat each other during the early days of our planet.

Professor Meekan said, “That shows that 300 million years ago these were cannibal sharks. Shark on shark predation is a fundamental trait.”

Call it crazy or disgusting, nature is just awesome and it surprises everyone in a new way each time.
