Half-eaten shark found on beach leaves beachgoers with questions
A half-eaten sea shark that washed up on a beach in Florida Saturday left people with a puzzling question -- what mysterious ocean beast could possibly be big enough to do that?
A Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue lifeguard shared a photo of the poor, dead creature.
Beach Safety spokeswoman Tammy Morris told News 4 Jax that the shark was "definitely" eaten by a bigger fish. She guessed it was either a blacktip or spinner shark.
Quite a few great white sharks have been spotted off the Florida coast in the past few months, according to Florida wildlife officials. One of them was a 14-foot shark named Katherine.
Morris said that finding a half-eaten shark on the beach is odd, but it has happened before.
According to Fox 13 News, officials said the shark might have been about 5-feet long.
How big is the beast that gobbled it up, though? Hopefully, we will never know.
