Footage - Sharks feeding on whale carcass 13kms off Rotto

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/shark-sotted-chomping-a-carcass-off-scarborough-beach/story-fnii5thm-1226736899824

Bit of good footage, pity about all the bullshit from Channel 9.  They say 4 sharks were feeding from it, but the footage shows one.  They crap on about great whites, but the shark shown in the majority of that clip looks like a tiger to me!

 150 billion % that's a tiger, and looks like a big pregnant bitch too. 

 

Good footage nontheless. I bet there be a few whites swinging off the carcass this morning though.

Really when you think about , who holds these muppets too account?

If they dont have the real story , the true facts or anything else to close the story , they just make it up.

A layman can see thats a tiger, and repeatly he says , ; great white;

sounds better for the great unwashed spose,

the guys expression at the still start of the clip says it all.

Go to town on their FB page (there's a post on the shark there) - probably the best option given it's the most public.

Apart from the rounded head

Apart from the rounded head you can see the fricken stripes in the side-on shots

And how is 13km offshore any concern to beach goers?

 

Just sharks doing what sharks do, cleaning up the ocean
