Researchers had tagged the healthy nine feet extremely white to track their movements as part of a study, but were shocked when the ‘black box’ washed up four months later on a beach in Australia. Data recorded on the device showed a rapid temperature increase from 7.6C to 25.5C along with a sudden, sharp 1,902 feet. The researchers believed that the data proved that it was being eaten by something much larger, and said that the recorded temperatures indicate that the shark went into another animal’s digestive system.
The case was detailed in the Smithsonian Institution’s documentary, entitled ‘Hunt for the Super Predator,’ which drew inspiration from an earlier Australian documentary, ‘The Search for the Ocean’s Super Predator. ‘
Filmmaker Dave Riggs said in 2014: “When I was first told about the data coming back from the tag that was on the shark, I was absolutely blown away.
‘The question that not only came to mind, but everyone’s mind that was involved was’ what did that do?’
‘It was food, of course. What will a shark eat that big? What could kill a [nine-foot] great white? ”
It turns out that scientists can close the book on wild conspiracies of one kind of enormous sea monster, but the culprit is no less shocking.
According to investigators investigating the surprise case, it was a “colossal cannibal big white shark.”
It was only after further study of the migration patterns – of the great whites who came to the area where the 9-footer was killed – that they were finally able to guess the identity of the mysterious killer.
The scientists claimed that their research data matched all the tracking information of the lost shark.
The body temperature of these migrating large whites was the same, and the size of the large cannibal white shark – which they estimated to be 16 feet long and weighing more than two tons – could easily decrease the same speed and trajectory as in ‘ t tracking device was fixed.

The submerged kelp forests in California have almost diminished after an explosion in urchins eating the kelp, and this is due to a decline in seaweed eating the urchins.
This threatens the natural food chain of the area, which can completely collapse if large whites have no source.
Bryan Franks, Jacksonville University PhD professor, said in 2019: ‘I can say with certainty that you will lose stability, but there are so many factors involved that it is difficult to predict.
“Their prey would go up, then the third-level species would be depleted, but it is difficult to model.
“The classic example is the otters, the urchins and the kelp.”
