Tiger Shark Stuns Scientists by Regurgitating Whole Echidna
TL;DR
In a rare and shocking event, researchers from James Cook University observed a tiger shark regurgitating a whole echidna off the coast of Orpheus Island, Australia. The echidna was found dead but fully intact, and the shark was unharmed and released back into the water. This unusual behavior is thought to occur when sharks are stressed. Another shark in the study also regurgitated half a dugong, highlighting the tiger shark's gluttonous and scavenging nature.
