Shark vs shark: Amazing footage of great white attack off Neptune Island, SA SEAN LEVISON ELITE DAILY OCTOBER 01, 2014 10:57AM SHARE  Shark on shark makes for one massive battle. A DIVER has captured footage of the extremely rare moment in which a great white shark attacked its own kind in the waters off South Australia. According to theDaily Mail, 33-year-old diver Adam Malski was off Neptune Island, near Port Lincoln, studying a great white known as “Gilbert” by locals. Despite being nearly 20 feet long, the shark didn’t seem very aggressive. That was until a much smaller shark, estimated to be half the size of Gilbert, tried to eat some bait Malski’s crew left floating in the ocean right by their boat. Just as the bait was taken, Gilbert suddenly emerged and opened his massive jaws as if he was trying to bite the head off the smaller shark.  The sharks brutally attack each other. Great white sharks abound in the waters off Neptune Island, which is home to several businesses offering shark cage dives. Abalone diver and shark attack survivor Greg Pickering said earlier this year that a rise in attacks in the area was due to the cage-diving industry teaching sharks to associate boats and divers with food. Port Lincoln tuna baron Hagen Stehr has called for great whites to be culled, saying there were more around the waters off SA’s Eyre Peninsula than ever before. While Malski isn’t sure whether Gilbert’s intended target was the shark or the bait, he’s confident that this is one of the only times a great white shark has been caught attacking another on film. This is the second aquatic phenomenon to be recorded as of late, as a group of killer whales was recently filmed attacking and eating a tiger shark off the coast of Costa Rica. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/shark-vs-shark-amazing-footage-of-great-white-attack-off-neptune-island-sa/story-fni6uo1m-1227076288074 |

Komodo Dragon dodges every attack but 1 by a aggressive water buffalo and counters with a surprisingly powerful tail whip and sends it running, goes back to fighting and uploader notes that the buffalo later dies (only spinosaurus rex showed this video love)  "Indeed, it is an excellent example of the sorts of wounds that occur when komodos attack. They do a unique 'grip and rip' mode, where by they bite and then use the strong forelegs and neck to pull straight back, with each tooth thus cutting in succession, resulting in four parallel deep wounds. In this particular event, it sliced him right in the butt. There are other cuts in the legs. He ended up dying slowly over the next week from septicemia. However, in the case of natural sized prey items, this can result in severed major arteries." The account from Brian Fry the guy who discovered venom in Komodo Dragons. One bite caused anal relapse.

RojJones, this thread is for animal v animal confrontations. I dont think acts of scavenging (like the Eagles/Hyenas above) really meet that criteria. |
