SANDBRIDGE, Va. (AP) — Several researchers off the coast of Virginia recently got front-row seats to the cannibalistic nature of the great white shark.
The Virginian-Pilot reported Monday that Virginia Institute of Marine Science researchers caught a 4-foot (1-meter) black tip shark on Friday during a longline fishing survey. They were about 3 miles (5 kilometers) off the coast of Sandbridge when a 12-to-13-foot (3-to -4-meter) great white showed up and stole the show — and the smaller shark.
