Amazing! Video catches shark being swallowed whole

That's what they say: a day of hunting, another of the hunter. A video captured by a vehicle operated at a distance from a boat recorded a scene that proved the popular saying almost unintentionally. After identifying a topographic elevation more than 450 meters deep in the middle of the ocean, the crew sent Deep Discoverer equipment to get a clearer picture of what they believed to be a sunken ship.

However, the images recorded the scene of a school of sharks devouring the carcass of a huge swordfish. The scene is frantic and sharks alternate in the generous bites of fish. In the images, sharks appear and disappear around the swordfish carcass that was about five feet long. According to the underwater equipment record, there were at least 11 sharks taking advantage of the "fresh meat".

And when it comes to sea predators, it's hard for sharks not to top the list. But in this case, the images would still register the true hunter of the moment. More precisely in the minute 1:45, when another fish, which the crew believe to be a large grouper, by the shape of the fins and the rest of its body, appears snapping up, in a single straight movement, one of the sharks that So far, he was only concerned with waiting for his turn to remove a "peel" from the swordfish carcass.

Everything happens in a fraction of a second and the grouper comes out quietly swimming among the other sharks. Boldness that calls, right? The filmed species devouring the shark mercilessly can reach 100 kilos and live 70 years.
