This Story About Killer Whales Eating Great White Sharks Is Basically a Horror Movie Now

You might remember last month when orcas ate an enormous great white shark’s liver, Hannibal Lecter style, in South Africa. It seems the killer whales have decided, why stop there? Why not take the testicles and stomach, too? https://gizmodo.com/killer-whales-eat-enormous-great-white-shark-in-south-a-1795016535 The Dyer Island Conservation Trust, a South African conservation program, was called in to investigate a…

That Viral Porn Star Shark Bite Video Is Totally Fake

Shark experts are very upset with porn star Molly Cavalli. Last week, she appeared in a video produced by the live sex site CamSoda in which she claims a shark bit her foot. Based on every piece of confirmable evidence, however, it looks like the video is a complete hoax. The video, which has garnered…

Australia Hit by Real Life Sharknado

The Australian state of Queensland was hit hard this week by a vicious tropical cyclone. And while there has been property damage, thankfully no one was seriously injured by Cyclone Debbie. Well, no one, unless you count this 5-foot long shark that was found dead this morning near the floodwaters. The bull shark was found…

The Fifth Pirates of the Caribbean Movie Has Ghost Sharks In It

After a super crappy fourth movie in a franchise, it takes a lot to win back an audience—and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is doing its best. It’s bringing back some old favorites, has a solid new cast, and now, two more tempting words: ghost sharks. As in sharks who are…

Swirling Underwater Fish Tornado Makes Sharknado Look Tame

As currents shift in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, they bring an abundance of nutrients and plankton to the region, luring predators of all sizes. Swarms of anchoveta arrive first for an easy meal, but soon find themselves having to come up with unique ways to fend off larger predators like sharks and tuna. The result…

The World’s Largest Shark Had a Fatal Appetite For Dwarf Whales

Megalodon, the largest shark to have ever terrorized our planet’s oceans, may have gone extinct owing to its limited dietary preference for dwarf whales, according to new research. The megalodon, a fearsome aquatic predator measuring 52 feet (16 meters) long and boasting 10-foot-wide (3 meter) jaws, went extinct about 2.6 million years ago after a…

Rare Footage of a Deep Sea Ghost Shark is Creepy as Hell

Remotely operated vehicle surveys off the coast of California and Hawaii have produced several observations of a large deep sea ghost shark known as a “pointy-nosed blue chimaera.” The resulting video footage is the first-ever recorded of this elusive species in its natural habitat.

Great White Shark Breaks Into Diver’s Shark Cage, Terror Ensues

Harrowing new video shows a large great white shark lunging for a chunk of tuna—and then wriggling its way inside a shark-proof cage with a diver inside.

Scare Everyone Shitless With This Animatronic Shark Costume

As Alfred pointed out in The Dark Knight, some men just like to watch the world burn. To them, a day at the beach spent lounging in the sun isn’t particularly enjoyable. But a day at the beach spent terrorizing swimmers with this amazing animatronic shark suit? Now that’s an afternoon well spent. This incredible…

This Big Ass Shark Jumps Too Damn Much

Chill out, man. It was cute the first time you jumped out of nowhere. And maybe still sort of amusing the second time you missile’d yourself out of the water. But when the shark comes breaching once again? Dude. And when it gets a little bit too close where you can feel its splash? And…

A 400 Year-Old Shark May Hold the Cure to Aging

Great White Sharks Are Returning to the Northeast

On August 3rd, researchers discovered a dead mink whale floating belly up off the coast of Cape Cod. The next day, the same carcass was spotted again; ravaged almost beyond recognition. Its tongue, internal organs, and most of its skeletal muscles had been ripped off, leaving “little more than the spinal column and skull.” According…

What Kind of Scary Creatures Are Hiding Deep in the Ocean?

The deep sea is home to creatures that are sort of normal but then have some sick twist that make them monstrous and so creepy you want to peel your skin off. A squid can’t be just a squid, it has to be a giant squid the size of a school bus. A shark can’t…

Dang, Look at This Huge Whale Shark

To be fair, whale sharks don’t come in any size other than “huge.” That’s kind of their thing, being that they’re the largest fish species on Earth. How huge are they? How does approximately 40-feet long and 45,000 pounds strike you? Lucky for shark biologist Ocean Ramsay who’s swimming alongside this one, whale sharks are…

This Is Too Many Sharks

Smithsonian Channel’s Secrets of Shark Island is a wonderful documentary about the ecosystem in the waters around the Revillagigedo Islands, a group of four volcanic islands 240 miles off of Mexico. Because it’s “the only natural juncture for miles” in the Pacific Ocean, there’s a lot going on around there. Most scarily, a shit ton…

Drone Catches Incredible 70-Shark Feeding Frenzy

This footage, captured above the appropriately named Shark Bay in Western Australia, shows what happens when 70 sharks come across a whale. It involves rather a lot of blood. The once-clear waters of the bay fill with plumes of blood as the tiger sharks chow down without mercy on the humpback whale. I can’t work…

Whoa. This aerial view, courtesy of a drone, captures something not often seen: a pod of false killer whales (which are a species of dolphins, of course) chasing and hunting down a shark in the waters near Sydney, Australia. You can see the gang of false killer whales basically acting like a pack of wolves…
