Hey I remember this story. Thanks for bringing it back. What ever killed the shark didn't have to swallow it whole, it just might have just bit off a piece which had the tracker attached to it.
Most likely
But if only cut of that part it can’t have that much accuracy to just leave the tag and it wouldn’t be useful for the predator if it just fit like 1 tiny part
And also it showed that when it was casually swimming something with so much power with sheer determination took it to the deep waters and prob fed on it since all that work for just to let the shark escape ?
You are significantly smarter than they are making the scientists appear to be
If I remember correctly the temperature changes that the tag read led them to believe it wasn't just the piece with the tag on it.
I and a friend were surfing in the early 1970's at Clifford Bay NZ. We had "long boards", not the skimpy little things you see these days. I think my board was 8 foot. Anyway, we were lying on the boards paddling out to a point break about 300 metres offshore on a dull overcast summers day. Suddenly my mate sat up on his board, turned, was on his knees and paddling back past me to shore and as he went by, he quietly said "shark". I didn't really comprehend his message and I dozily raised myself up on the board to look eyeball to eyeball with a huge Great White [he looked to be twice the size of my board - but hey, it was big]. I froze and watched him as he watched me and he gracefully moved without any effort, through the crystal clear water about a board length in front of me. We kept eye contact until he got so far across from me that he flicked his eye back to the front and continued his quest for fish that may have been disoriently by the surf - so I presumed. I got up on my knees and paddled that board right up onto the beach! We opened a couple of bottles of beers and drank them down with the froth we had made from our shaking hands!. I haven't been surfing since then; in my 70's now and don't think I ever will be back on a board! When you see just how powerful these creatures are, how with only muscle rippling they can move through the water, you realise that you are in their domain and there at their pleasure.
I watched them from a boat eating a dead whale about 6 km off sth Australia shore and you’re right they move through the water effortlessly and gracefully. People naturally try to out swim sharks as a natural reaction but we are wasting our time. It’s impossible.😂
So after all the rambling, they still do not know what exactly ate the shark lmfao.

The video was great though, wouldn't have been nearly as fun if he was just like "Big shark ate small shark"
Go watch a scientific channel if you want no fluff or storytelling and only want sentences that are facts after facts. Sheesh.
This is like a movie project that was sent to Netflix and stretched to 12 episodes.
The tagged shark Alpha was 2,7 meters long (9 feet), which is less than half the size of the largest great white shark ever recorded (7 meters/23,5 feet).
Sharks are famously opportunists and can perfectly well decide to be cannibalistic if hungry enough.
They can also dive very deep, especially larger specimens dive to lower depths than the smaller ones.
To reiterate the size difference between the tagged female and the largest recorded great white;
Shark Alpha was half a meter (2,7 feet) longer than André the Giant, and the largest specimen was 1,2 meters or four feet and change longer than the tallest giraffe recorded (George, at 5,8 meters/19 feet)
Notice he calls it "the giant shark" near the beginning too. This majorly detracts credibility.

A long time ago I vowed never to swim in the ocean. As soon as you enter the water you become part of the food chain.
On thing I won’t do been to the beach no swimming though
Same here. Ocean equals death.

@@BillyJ244 how do you figure that? I’m 52 and have surfed since I was five. I’ve only met someone who was bit once and that was when he was fishing and was a tiny scar. The ocean is probably more safe than staying in your house. It would be nice if everyone thought like you and stayed out though, now that I think of it. No clueless tourists in the way would be great.

O' Yes I'm a living testimony of Mrs Victoria Alejandro.!
Around 40 years ago, I was having a conversation with a retired fisherman whom at one time had also captained the URI research vessel out of Narraganset RI. I asked him what the strangest thing he had ever brought up in his nets was. He initially told me left over torpedoes and such from WWII. There is still a sunken U-boat off block island to this day. So, I said to him I was interested in strange sea life. His response was a 25 foot long, 5,000-pound great white shark came up in his net once. It was 1 mile off Charlestown beach in RI (Block Island sound). At that time, I didn't know that great whites usually didn't exceed 16 feet. After all I grew up with Jaws lol. All these years later I hear about megalodon and ever since I cannot help but be suspicious that he had in fact caught a young megalodon. They cut it up and tossed it overboard if I remember correctly because there was no market for that type of fish then. His catching incident happened approximately 80 years ago as it happened about 40 years before he told me the story. He was in his 80's at the time of the conversation. This a true story. It was a pity he hadn't taken a picture of it.
I call bs
I remember seeing the first part of this story and its good that you have solved the puzzle of what happened
14-16ft is a normal size of a Great White they are considered big after that , The largest recorded was 23 ft with 20 ft GWs seen regularly 50 years ago now they are very rare.
I love how the title says this incident is finally solved, while the show itself covers a variety of possible explanations... all of which are based on relatively little actual evidence.
Makes for an interesting video... I'll give 'em that!
So annoying when they do that!
Their first mistake was assuming that the shark was dead because the tracker was removed.
And the second: Why the same shark couldn't have eaten the sensor that came off its back? Sharks can eat trash... Even tires!
He ate the tracker, cause when it was found, it was bleeched out, from stomach acid!
never been so thankful for the "most replayed" timeline thing.
You seem to forget the shark might not have been eaten at all, but only had a chunk taken out by the fin, thereby the tracker was ingested with 20 pounds of shark bite. The sensor could have been regurgitated soon after and not gone through the stomach.
But why did the shark waited until it dived that deep down before eating “just the fin”. The video said that the shark ate the alpha shark only after it dived deep deep down
27:16
A 16 foot Great White is not exactly abnormal, Great Whites are known to grow up to 20' in length. Granted, 20 footers are very uncommon these days because they've been hunted so heavily in the past, thanks in no small part to the movie Jaws, but they can grow that large. So a 16 footer, while quite large for a Great White these days, is hardly anything abnormal.
well said, true
Some years back off the coast of Australia, a great white was hauled in from a shark net. Prob 4m or so IIRC. Poor shark was dead cos a huge bite had been taken out of it. Half metre jaw diameter, which equates to a 6.5-7m great white. So there's at least 1 out there
Deep Blue as they named a huge female Great White is around 24 feet long or 7+ meters. I live in South Australia and have been seeing Whites here since I was 4 years old, i'm over 60 now and I can assure you 18 footers have been seen often here with some sightings of 20+ feet recorded. I've had an easy 18 footer come up to our boat while snapper fishing with my father in the 1960s which was the length of our boat which was 18 feet. Numerous others saw the same shark which attacked a couple of the other boats

How are you feeling right now?
I love how you can take what seems like a simple question and trace it back to show how what seems simple turns out to be quite complex. Best of all, you make it quite entertaining.
Yes, they make it entertaining by using incorrect and exaggerated statements.
I love how you can take what seems like a simple question and and regurgitate every conspiracy theory about the ocean
It had been "Jaws", God dammit.
That means they're full of shit dude.
@stinkbug4321 don't use the Lord's name in vain like that
Around Australia and Guadalupe Island most of the great whites that are tagged tend to be between 11 and 18 feet in length so a 17 ft great white seems less likely to have gigantism and more likely to be an adult of average size. Shark Alpha was just a very unlucky juvenile.
Agreed. Hell, the longest ones are in the 20-25 foot range.
@@o-mangaming5042 😊ul
@@o-mangaming5042 And that's what we've caught and formally documented (though rarely). ocean life being what it is today, it's safe to say almost all species had larger specimens 100 yrs ago or more. Heck, even 50 yrs ago.
That all adds up to there is (or has been recently) larger white sharks than "only" 7 meters.
I didn[t like how narrator called the 9ft great white as "huge" that's not even avg, bud! Then again, I say that from the comfort of my very dry office hundreds of miles from the ocean and probably 1000 miles from the nearest white shark
why did they bother tagging the 9’er ? had’nt heard of that seeming waste of time since that size of fish are likely to become edibles’ rather than the (larger ones) providing migration Data !!
@@thomasmacginnes100 I think it’s cause they happened along a swarm of sharks and were tagging as many as they could to get as much data as possible. The swarm wasn’t too far off the shore because they were attracted to the whale carcasses, and so they were easier to tag. That’s just my guess though.
We have such beautiful beaches in Australia, but EVERYTHING you mentioned in this video is why I don't go deeper than my knees 🦈
Everything in Australia seems out to get you 🫤
I don't think humans have to worry about a cannibal shark, we aren't on it's menu
I've seen a 9 foot shark attacked by a 12 foot shark, then get chewed to pieces by 6 others after being incapacitated by the first big bite. I've seen feeding frenzies with several different predators competing for pieces of the victim. Perhaps a giant squid grabbed the shark & dove with it, as they would, then some other sharks followed it down to try to get a piece of the pie, and one of them ended up with the tracker.
But is there anything in the ocean that warm other than marine mammals? fish arent' THAT much warmer than surround ambient water temp are they? Don['t tell me they're the same as ambient bc sea turtles are warmer than ambient (when in cold waters) at least that's what the world's foremost leatherback expert told me in person in costa rica one beautiful starlit night 18 yrs ago
That still does not explain the internal temperature issues of the tag reading
That also does not explain why that bigly squid would make the shark into a pie.
@@thomaswu9094 thermal vents effect maybe
I had a stroke reading that
I had read that great white sharks average about 18 feet, so I'm not sure why a great white shark with gigantism would only measure 16 feet. 🤔
Soo, take what seems like a fantastic, mysterious riddle and turn it into a 30 minute story filled with crazy theories about a "Jurassic Park" type explanation is certainly ONE way to go...
Megladons are real....i saw the movie
Agreed
🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe is was that black demon shark that has been reported quite a few tine now.
Fun fact: There is a well known case of sharks disapearing from a big ocean tank expo. The keepers thaught that bigger sharks/predators were eating them but they could not prove it and couldnt cut them open either. So they kept their vigil and eventually caught the culprit. The big pride of the tank a huge octopus had developed a taste for shark. It hunted from them at night and then dragged them back to his hole to gobbled them up.
Wasn't that just a whale shark?
What about great blue the female 20 foot shark great white shark she is about 80 years old
Give the cameraman a price for getting inside the predator's stomach to take that photo
As a scuba diver, I have seen large fish bite the tail off a smaller fish. They watch the victim try to swim away then swoop in and swallow the rest. So as to the tag, it would be inside the large fish immediately. The plunging down to 1900 feet is odd. Lacking better information when this actually happens. Instead, the larger shark fish then finishes the rest of the smaller shark fish then plunges down to 1900 feet now totally full and ready to sleep at depth in the dark undisturbed.
Oh wait it’s Australia 🇦🇺 😂
Whoever narrated this has the most amazing and fun and calming voice ever. I listen to a lot of ghost stories, etc. I wish he would narrate some. He could almost rival Natures Temper! Great job Dude!!!!
Too true
we watched this as part of our home schooling on friday and my six year old has asked to watch it every day since then. i am not exaggerating. (to be fair, it’s only sunday. but i know when my child is starting a trend…) anyway, your voice is incredibly soothing to listen to and i just want to express my appreciation for the fact that, if i’m going to have to listen to this video at LEAST daily (and possibly multiple times daily), at least it’s rather pleasant to listen to.
when i have it memorized, i’ll do a lip sync reaction video to it. 😜
just wanted to update. it’s tuesday. little one is still watching this every day. today we have watched it twice.
WE ARE STILL WATCHING THIS. WE ARE UP TO A MINIMUM OF TWICE A DAY. I KNOW THESE COMMENTS WON’T BE SEEN FOR 13 YEARS. I JUST WANT THOSE FUTURE VIEWERS TO KNOW I AM SURVIVING.

Spoiler alert. It was a 16 foot shark that had gigantictism and was cannibalistic
It's the common exscuse to cover up about the meg...could be babey megs..who really knows..
Sharks are cannibalistic...
The first time I ever heard this "mystery" presented, I thought that the shark itself did not need to be eaten, it just had to be something that took a bite where the tracker was located. Like many internet mysteries it has been way overblown and pseudoscienced to death.
You have a point there
That's a 20 footer.... 25, 3 tons of him! Thank you, a great video!
i liked the way of narration, the twists and animation too.
it's for children, sooo take that however you will. It's why he speaks so slow and clear. For ESL speakers as well, though.
Depending on how the tracker was attached to the fin, I believe that whatever creature attacked the shark, resulted in the tracking device detaching from the shark ( along with a chunk of the dorsal fin and falling into an underwater vent of some sort and rising in temperature, before floating to the surface after the flesh it was attached to was either; melted, eaten, or the tag somehow became removed in which it floated to the surface. I'm not sure how plausible that is but let me know what you think, is this a plausible theory?
Edit: Nevermind I just found out the video just takes 25 minutes to tell you what actually happened...
Studies of white sharks in the gulf in the gulf found that they maintain a constant body temperature of about 26.5°C (almost 80°F). Was a larger great white or a Tiger.
5 minutes actually
No it didn’t. It was just another theory. A great white with gigantism ? And then quickly diving to 1,900 feet ? Why do that ?
@@lisacolbert5987 Couldn't handle swimming when it had the added weight of a second great white shark in it???
@@lisacolbert5987 To drown it most likely - as stupid as it sounds drad a shark in reverse and it will drown
How about a naturally occurring Sperm Whale? Not the certainly-extinct Melvillei but a very large modern specimen. I have heard that they can dive to very great depths and feed on Colossal Squid. Also, did anyone test the tag for DNA? Good presentation by the way.
I agree. Sperm whales have been known to feed on sharks.
Makes sense good job
Makes sense too
It was a larger great white that ate it.
@@normacunningham8913 it doesn’t have to me
The increase in temperature could have been from a thermal vent. It doesn’t mean it was swallowed for sure.
Some narrator's are way too lazy and irritating, but I had a sound sleep since your way of telling the story seems to be a great lullaby. I could sleell like a new born baby thank you.😊
Just a minor point. Even if the squid was cold blooded, would the chemical reactions from digestion cause the stomach temp be higher??? Has this been tested??
My wife's exact question. Lol
It's actually a good theory, but come to think of it, the temperature found would be too high for any chemical compound to produce in such a large body of ocean water. The culprit creature would need to have a very thick body and guts(insulation), covering its "hot" digestion system, to keep such high temperature in an immeasurable body of freezing ocean water and depth. An orca would fit de description better, even a bigger great white, but I still have my doubts
Giant squid have a beak that it eats with it doesn’t swallow its food in big bites so it definitely wasn’t a squid.
The mountains, caves, valleys, hills, the terrain, of unexplored ocean floors is way bigger then anything we have of dry land. It's crazy!!!!!
It is, but it's more crazy that our planet was once covered by nothing but water.
this stuff made me very curious
I figured if there were deep sea vents that could have been where the sudden heat came from. They're not really detailing how long the heat remained or more about the biometrics. I guess the scientists know better than me though lol.
Fun video! By the way, 16 feet in an adult great white isn't gigantism, it's the average size of a fully adult female, though it is very much on the biggest side for males. The largest females have been measured at 20-21 feet. I could see easily how one of the more massive female great whites took Shark Alpha.
Nope
Thank you female great whites are bigger it was a female most likely
Yup.@@truthhurts79
Alpha’s tag sank at a speed of around 130-160km/h, to a depth that sharks really just don’t go without reason.
@@truthhurts79 Yep
Yes the temperature is the problem. It could not a fish or squid as pointed out in the video. It had to be a large carnivorous creature probably a killer whale. As several people pointed out the poor old shark most likely just got bitten. The tracker then got pooped out or regurgitated. 😮
"Yes the temperature is the problem ... It had to be a large carnivorous creature probably a killer whale."
You just contradicted yourself. Because the temperature was not as high as it would have been in a mammal, it could NOT have been an orca.
So what would have made more sense would be "The temperature is the problem. It could not have been a killer whale."
This isn't a "giant" Great White. It's a 9ft shark. Deep Blue, THE "giant" Great White (21+ ft), could easily have a 9 footer for lunch.
The world is bigger than we are told...much bigger 🧡🤗💜
They are not at the top. Orcas are.
I believe sperm whales are the oceans top predator.
But orcas don’t eat white , only their liver
sperm whales are.
Lol nop omega giga giant squid is. I forgot his name has never been filmed only corpse found.
Collosal squid? Tbh they are just campers. The only difference beetween collosal and giant is that collosal has more packs of meat cause of how deep they live. Giant squids are way more active and present than they are.@@spudbencer7179
Wonderful narration with cute chuckles involved
LOL, the radio transmitter was eaten not the whole great white shark.
Thanks for using the Metric system too !
In WWII there was a British ship that threw out some depth charges and had a crazy "alligator looking" specimen float up to the top (killed by the charges) & which was verified by a ton of the crew who saw it. I think it's definitely still out there, whatever it was. Not to mention salt water crocodiles, which get Enormous, are known to live out at sea.
how about this. giant squid grabs a shark and does a rapid deep dive to a warm seabed vent where it chows down at leisure.
South West of Western Australia is over 1100km from the range of the estuarine (salt water) crocodile. There's no way a cold blooded tropical reptile could survive in the freezing southern ocean around Esperance or Albany W.A, the region where this shark was killed. My money as a former local would be on a much bigger great white (3 meters is barely an adult) or an Orca.
@@Some1inFNQ my money is on an Orca, but that's not nearly as exciting or imaginative as some unknown alligator-like sea beast 😂
MOSASAURUS
But crocs breath air & can't dive that deep. Idk I say still unsolved.
Not sure why 16 feet is somehow a "super shark" it is a large white shark, but 16 to 20 feet or so is far from unheard of. The largest female I believe was around 21 feet and incredibly heavy bodies at almost 2 ton. That would make it twice as long as probably about 3 to 4 times heavier than the shark that was eaten. Also it could have just taken a large bite from the smaller shark swallowing the tracker then diving down. Not really that crazy.
Exactly.
Can we get all your teachers/past teaches together to celeb this man
You my friend are swag😎

I'm not sure why its natural for people to want crazy theories to be true, I guess they bored.
My thoughts exactly 😊
You have the bloop sounds backwards. The first sound you played was the original recording, the second one that sounded like nothing was the sped up one.
Very interesting video. Makes you think of the possibilities of what is lurking in the unexplored depths of our oceans.
Could be a mosasaur because they were real millions of years ago but 80% of the ocean hasn't been explored so it could've been anything for all we know
I honestly think an orca killed the shark, ripped out its liver as they do often. Great white liver is an orcas favourite meal. Then other sharks scavenged the remains, another great white ate the part that had the tag. They are warm blooded. That’s what happened folks no matter how much you want it to be a a Megladon. 😝 🦈
@@kieranhart5776 bro shut up please, no one asked you.
Also, then how did it end up 1900 feet below the deep ocean? That can’t be the explanation.
Maybe an Archelon? They would have been big enough to eat a 9 foot great white and since it was a enormous sea turtle there's a possibility it was carnivorous
The idea of a massive cannibal shark is as equally terrifying as an unknown creature.
If anything this has shown a new behavior pattern for a specific population of great whites. As for the larger shark plummeting to deep depths to eat the shark, lots of great white attacks on people have a resulted in the sharks dragging the victim to the bottom and tearing the person to pieces on the seafloor.
This occurred in that horrific attack in Tasmania where the father/daughter duo we're diving for scallops. When the father failed to surface, she dove down look for him and saw a great white pinning him to the seafloor tearing him up.
Sharks either impact from below, or rapidly descend when they capture prey to disorient prey.
the pinning is common for sharks because it gives them leverage and they can hold the victim whilst attacking versus pushing on the victim inadvertently while killing and/or consuming and the prey is pushed further from them - a horrific example
Omg Way to brighten someone's day my dude 👍 I bet yer just a riot at parties f#&k! I can't imagine the ptsd that poor girl developed. JESUS CHRIST! I can grantee she never set foot in water or even on a boat again. As much as i love the beach I would have moved to the desert.
all sharks are cannibals
This does not show any new behavior pattern for a specific population of great whites at all....
The depth the tag changed temp at was not that deep. They said later they have been recorded as deep as 4k
GW attacks are not common and you have no way of recording or showing recordings of the behavior that you are saying is common. Going to the bottom of the ocean to eat there... you are making that up
Scallops are shallow water animals so they were relatively shallow which is why the story went that way. Whites bite and thrash if the object is large (whales) or they bite and shake to get a mouthful as their teeth are not meant to chew by crushing.
This event is not endemic of all GW attacks
Sharks dive to get away from other sharks the same reason predatory animals on land grab something and try to run off with it. As not to share
When you weren't just assuming things you were either making them up and asserting them as scientifically proven fact or repeating something someone else said that you are now asserting as fact
A 16 ft great white is not even really big for a great white.
Fish are cannibalistic by nature.
Wow How'd you get the picture of that thing in the thumb
Being attached specifically to the base of the dorsal fin, are we absolutely sure the tag didn't just get removed and tossed overboard by shark poachers where it sank to the bottom before getting accidentally mistaken for prey by a reasonably sized creature that hunts by sensing movement, and consumed THAT way? You know, Occam's razor and all that. Remember, the tag was not necessarily tracking the shark the entire time, just itself.
Honestly, the fact remains that this could have also just been the Top Dorsal Fin where the tracking device was attached, just bitten off instead of the entire Shark itself actually eaten whole.. the fact that something much larger exists is in fact possible and I do believe there actually is. My opinion is the tracking device and Dorsal Fin Portion was the only portion in fact eaten by perhaps another shark in warmer waters at surface level before submerging to the depths before its body temp cooled, or an unknown warm blooded undiscovered creature... ;-) just another possibility ;-)
yep its probably whats the case or similar it unattached somehow
as cool as it is too imagine a huge monster consuming a shark whole is
thats just it, cool
would also be cool to be wrong
Wow I never would have thought a 9 foot shark could weigh 2000 lbs ,that’s amazing
The 16ft did. Derp
keep in mind that deep blue is roughly bigger than 20 feet, we saw her a lot of time in some discovery specials during shark week
I will never enter your channel for taking this damn long
I love these videos! Very informative with just the right amount of sas! 😁❣️
The ocean absolutely terrifies me! I was using my grandson's new VR game thing. It has videos that are super immersive. I tried the ocean safari and 😳 I couldn't finish it! I felt like a shark (even when we were with seals, lol) was gonna come out of nowhere. I was literally scared. I had to stop. 🤯😂
I love videos that say "We solved It !!"
Then you click on them and realize they're just tossing around guesses and speculation. Click Bait.
It could've been a shark just bit off the fin with the tracker but no other fish witnesses are coming forward
When the tracker was analyzed, it said that the shark dove very deep, suddenly and abruptly, yet held the same external temperature. Meaning it was probably swallowed whole.
Witch means it is a probity a moasasaur or a megalodon
@@oliverrey4170 Megalodon was a coastal predator not a deep sea one. We would have seen it.
Mosasarus is defo extinct though Monitor Lizards could easily start Mosasaur 2.0 if they wanted to start going back into the ocean.
Or another shark, in an effort to save itself from getting injured itself, blindsided it from above, ripped a chunk off and kept going down. They tag the fin, it doesn't necessarily cover the rest of the body. Or a sperm whale, since they duke it out with Giant Squids a lot and found an easier meal in that shark
@@kieranhart5776 nobody said megladon shut up

It's pretty common knowledge that a 9 foot great white is on the small end and likely a youngish shark. 17 footers are large but not uncommon. The average female is between 12 and 16 feet with Deep Blue being between 19-21 feet. Super fun video but I am reasonably sure gigantism didn't play a role.
Yeah I always felt like these videos try to up play the size of the eaten shark to be to big when besides what you pointed out there are other Sharks that can hit the 20 feet mark.
Is the Megalodon.
nice vid, thanks
Livyatan melvillei was discounted but maybe a male sperm whale which is described by Britannica, "Males attain a maximum length of about 24 metres (78.7 feet) and weigh up to 50 metric tons (55.1 tons)" could eat a 16' shark. Further in Brittanica, "Sperm whales are deep divers, commonly reaching a depth of about 350 metres (1,150 feet), and have been found tangled in cables more than 1,000 metres (3,280 feet) below the surface."
Could have easily been several normal great white sharks. They've got footage of several attacking one injured female shark that an attempted mate had injured. How did they come to the conclusion it was an irregular giant 16ft great white?
If it's a swarm attack they'll tear the tag off during an attack, either making the tag float or eaten on the spot. So it won't be possible to get the "sharp turn>plunging down>temperture spike" data.
The tag data suggested a behavior pattern only single predator can make, that's why their first hypothesis was already "a super predator".
Honestly, this was my question..how would they know it was 16 ft. Deep Blue, is like 20 ft..right?
What really made me wonder, is the deep dive, before ingestion.
I don't pretend to know what ate the 9ft white shark, however, I do find it quite strange.
@yuurou7927 so wouldn't the tag measure the base temperature of the 🦈 even if it was swimming away while getting chunks of it bitten off and then when the tag portion was ripped off and eaten register the same levels?
@@somejerkbagnow your just negatively stating your opinions when it was already explained.
@@kokujinn timestamp where that was explained dickhead
The body temperature is one of the best clues. I would have liked Orcas as a hypothesis, but they are too warm. A very large great white was another possibility because unlike many fish the great white can run slightly warmer than its surroundings. But, not that warm.
Actually, the recorded temperature matches that of a white shark's stomach. They have an average stomach temp. of 26°C.

So meaning a bigger Great White. Could have finished off Shark Alpha. Only one shark could fit that description. No other then the legendary Submarine. A larger Great White shark very intelligent one at that. Then again Submarine must be dead by now.
Orcas usually only eat the livers, they don't normally eat any other bits.

😂❤😅
Wow! It even has it's own internal lighting!
So have they found a way to put a camera or viewing system been set up down there since we have discovered clear metal and liquid oxygen and with remote atvs?
I'm more fascinated by the fact a tiny little computer board was out in the middle of the ocean, 1,000 feet deep, and still ended up on shore. Thousand of tons of trash are just floating out there for years but this little computer board made it home.
It would have to be its size, weight, and current at the time, which is why more trash appears on particular beaches than on others.
I remember visiting the whaling station at Albany in the 60s and one of the sperm whales had sucker marks on its head that were larger than the span between the end of my thumb and the end of my little finger. This distance on my hand is 9”, (large hands). A squid on the flenzing deck had a body of about 2.5 metres which had come from the belly of a whale and its suckers were about 25mm in diameter. Backside pucker!!!!
yeah but these are scars. and when a young sperm whale gets these scars the scars grow with it
Imagine tagging a Huge shark.. just to find out it was eaten by a much bigger monster shark...
I have been to sea thousands of times, and this frightens me
@@Fr0styJade Yeah, a literal sea monster eaten by an even bigger sea monster, its not safe
how was the signal from the tag which was deep underwater able to be received if radio signals can't really travel underwater?
The latest theories about Livyatan Melvillei going extinct actually have to do with their *prey* going extinct. They were thought to prey primarily on smaller warm-blooded whales, the precursors of our baleen whales. These in turn depended on widely scattered, abundant patches of krill in the warm waters they swam in, and right behind them were Megalodon and Livyatan Melvillei.
But when the waters turned cold, the krill these small whales depended on began to gather in much colder waters, and concentrate. Big whales - VERY big whales - had the insulation necessary to survive those cold waters, the giant mouths to take large batches of krill, and most importantly they could fast for a good part of the year - the small whales could not. So the little guys went extinct because they couldn't handle the changed patterns of their prey. What took their place, the ancestors of giants like Right Whales, Bowhead Whales, and Blue Whales, were far too big for even these mega-predators to eat. One slap of the flukes of a Blue Whale would be enough to fatally damage even a Megalodon or Livyatan. And so when the little whales went, so did Megalodon and Livyatan Melvillei, starved to extinction by the loss of their primary prey.
Not only are 20ft or more Great white sharks a fairly common sight. But hammer heads and tiger sharks occasionally get 18ft or more.
Exactly. The kid in the video acts like a 16 foot great white is some rare phenomenon lol
Since when is a 16 foot great white shark considered to be enormous? It's not even big, it needs to grow another four or five foot just to be considered as big.
It's Christmas eve.... Santa would've craved some sushi😂
Going back to the question on whether squids eat sharks frequently or not, based on the fact that we only got either one or very few occurances of sharks alive from squid attacks, I can assume that there are 2 possibilities. 1. Squids rarely attack sharks, and if they did it would be for self defense, thats why we only find a few attacks. 2. Squids frequently eat sharks and they are so efficient at killing them that almost none make it out alive.
Id say 2 it would be pretty common i think squid would eat anything considering they fight sperm whales
Try to think how practical it would really be for a squid (even a really big one) to kill a shark, all they've got are tentacles and a beak. A squid could wrap a shark up with its tentacles but what good is that going to do? The shark weighs more, is significantly more powerful and can't be choked/restrained. The beak of squid/octopus are pretty strong but they're not exactly designed for doing lethal damage to a large shark, sharks are exceptionally hard to kill so unless that beak is big enough to bite a shark in half it's just not going to be practical for a quick kill.
@@DjDolHaus86 shark could rip tentacles off to
@@DjDolHaus86 No, squid/giant squid, are really vicious when they hunt. It's also not like a sword fight where it's a clash of tentacles and shark teeth; squid grab onto their prey with these barbed tentacles and drag them down to the depths, cutting and lashing them with tentacles and beak and killing anything that needs to breathe at the surface or that needs to move to breathe. I think you are overestimating the shark's defenses and underestimating how predatory and scary everything else in the ocean is. It's kinda like with how people think the karate masters will be able to beat these UFC guys, but the UFC guys are usually just way bigger and destroy them.
I think the problem would be squids big enough to eat sharks lives in a depth where great white and most sharks don't swim at. So I don't think squids would often hunt them
I'm sticking with Orca. Because the readings came back that the tag was dragged to that depth at a warm temperature we assume the whole shark was with it. As we know from the beginning of the video the shark was tagged on the back of It's dorsal fin. That means an Orca could've easily taken a chunk out of it. They're also a creature known to waste their food. I watched three chase a mum and baby whale for over three hours ( David Attenborough ) only to eat the baby's jaw and f*ck off like a bunch of pr*cks lol. They also use penguins for sport and eat very little of them after they're done. I'll wait for further evidence but my money's still on the Orcas being the culprit for this one 🤷♀
Orcas go after the dorsal? That doesn't seem logical. They generally grab a pectoral when upside down and flip it end to end they are so frikken strong! At least that's what's been documented. They then hold it until the shark drowns then gobble up the liver. they don't appear to actually eat anything else just the liver.
yeah i wouldnt put any stock in information supplied by the same govt that used 9/11 to bomb themselves and blames afghan or sinks the Titanic but hey the Rothchilds got off right before right, or the govt that claims their president died to a magic bullet, or that sub that randomly went explodey
The temperature of the tracker was too high for it to have been consumed by an orca, and for it to of been wasted and dropped to the ocean floor
If you’re diving deeper it doesn’t get warmer. The only explanation is a belly of an animal. Orcas don’t dive that deep either. I will say this. We have no idea what’s on this planet. Everything hasn’t been explored and species they claim has been extinct is found live and well
bruh how could an orca eat a shark whole☠️
I remember a story about some South African fishermen finding a massive tooth among their catch which, when analysed by scientists, was determined to be a Megaladon tooth that was only 10,000 years old.
It's so wild to think about that only 20% of the worlds water is discovered....there is bound to be some crazy shit in some of the depths in the ocean
Another incredible video!!! Your channel was my #1 source of entertainment during covid. Forced to work from home (and even now my employer is almost completely virtual, one day a week in office) I watched your channel more than any other while I worked. Still do!! Thank you so much for all the incredible content!! 🤗
Wait a minute, you said that we watched it while you work ?
Same. Be amazed is a household daily with our 8 year old as well. We love this channel
Same here
Same
That was quite interesting and entertaining. Thanks
I honestly think an orca killed the shark, ripped out its liver as they do often. Great white liver is an orcas favourite meal. Then other sharks scavenged the remains, another great white ate the part that had the tag. They are warm blooded. That’s what happened folks no matter how much you want it to be a a Megladon. 😝 🦈
What if the tag readings of temperature weren't perfect? It could have got damaged at the time of attack. Electronic stuff behaves strangely in extreme pressure or temperature or due to wear n tear .
The formidable creature confronted Jaws, proving to be its equal in the battle of monsters.
I thought it was a colossal squid, but the cannibal gigantism shark makes a lot of sense. As much as I'd like to hear that there's some new mystery unsolved concerning leviathans of lucid size, I think I'd sleep easier if nothing of the sort existed.
That said...
The ocean always has unsolved mysteries, right?
It didn't have gigantism. Great whites can reach 20 ft in length. 16 ft is average size for females, but they can get bigger without having gigantism. Deep Blue is 20 ft and still doesn't have gigantism.
Wow I had misconception for their size
Still though, if the smallest are 13 ft and the largest are 20 ft, it feels like the larger one would have to have an extra couple meters before being able to devour another and drag it down hundreds of meters through the ocean.
@@theashrebornagain Or it could just bite the chunk of flesh that had the tracker out.
I believe it was a squid, either giant or colossal. I’ve seen sharks with suction cup markings, matching with squid tentacles.
I’ve read people’s comments regarding ocean 🌊 mystery & many known & unknown ocean 🌊 beasts roaming in the deepest parts. 95% of our oceans unexplored, we only explored 5% still haven’t listed all names of ocean marines because of huge numbers of varieties. Now let’s talk about the unknown & unexplored part we never ventured in & what lies near the surface or in deepest part. As u know ? 71% of our planet 🌎 is blue which means it’s water & only 29% is land & within our land territory we have soo many monsters & mysteries too solve about but still much is unknown, over vast worlds territory. If aren’t familiar what’s lurking about in our remote lands but how is possible, for us to know what’s underneath our ocean 🌊 there’s demonic ocean beasts or prehistoric monstrous deadliest marines might be lurking 👀 in our oceans looking for their next supper. For example Pacific Ocean is the largest among all oceans on earth has area bigger than all lands of 7 continents, imagine what type of marine life or maybe paranormal monsters lurking in our oceans may caused instant kill of Alpha Shark
More likely a propeller ripped it off and it got untangled, then It fell to the bottom where it was eaten before being vomited out
Nope
That doesn't account for the lack of temperature change in the monitor
@Ghost Malone fair point, perhaps it could have been to it not reading it properly.
Bruh
Those tags are designed to float when they come off, sinking isn't an option. And sharks don't generally get hit by boat propellers or ship screws.
The shark didn't have to be eaten whole for the tracker to be bitten off...
My theory:
The dorsal fine of the great white shark may have been bitten-off by a killer whale and the killer whale either spat out the tracker or excreted it another way while eating the great white shark.
I think shark alpha may not be necessarily dead. There was a struggle between the shark and another shark or whale. The tag came off and most probably wound up in the mouth of a shark or whale that dives that deep. Sperm whale is 1 candidate. It could also stay without air for hours.
Has anyone heard anymore about the Great White nicknamed, "Submarine"? Last that I heard he was around (40) forty feet long off the coast of South Africa. He is Huge!!
That was from a Discovery channel program which was made to appear factual but was fiction. They did a similar Mermaid program and came under heavy criticism for programs meant to entertain, but ended up fooling a lot of the public.
The fishing boat we were on was 6m long, and the shark was even a bit longer, so it was 6m for sure. When flying back low level over the sea with our C130 Hercules from Somalia to Mombasa, we noticed a lot of sharks patroling the reef alongside the Kenyan coast. On one side the tourists in shallow water, on the other side the sharks waiting for one to cross the reef. I know that scientist will disagree with this statement, but it is something we observed every flight .
There are cases where a octopus in a aquarium with sharks. Sharks were disappearing every day and they found it was the ocropus eating them at night.
Are you certain it wasn't Aquaman from Atlantis? He's known to have super human strength and can swim very fast in water.
Atlantis is no joke ,, I know where it was, and my best friend is an Atlantian.
