Two Great White Sharks Caught On Camera Feeding On Remains Of Whale

Cruising through the oceans could give you enough amount of spectacle.

A 40-minute-long dramatic video shot in Australia shows two great white sharks taking ravenous bites into a carcass of a whale. Jesse Gibson, a fisherman who witnessed the incident, posted the video on Facebook on Tuesday.

Twenty-one-year-old Gibson from Busselton and his friend James Powley were fishing near the coast of Yallingup in Western Australia on Sunday when they chanced upon the remains of a sperm whale floating on the surface water about 12 kilometers offshore. Two sharks came circling their boat moments later and started tearing into it. Gibson said the two white sharks could measure over 4 meters.

“Got the pleasure of finding a dead sperm whale floating around in the deep blue yesterday, never the less, it got 10x crazier when two 4-4.5m whites started circling and eating it!” he wrote in the post.

He said they could not believe their eyes. "No f---ing way," one of them was heard saying in the video. “Once in a lifetime kinda stuff! The ocean never ceases to amaze me,” Gibson added.

He said irrespective of fishing for a long time, he never encountered a great white shark or saw two of them feeding on a dead whale.

"It was like when you give a dog a bone - they would both come up, take a bite and swim off. It was pretty awesome to watch!” Gibson told 7 News.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) in Perth found the whale carcass emerging on the water surface near Southgate Dunes Beach during an inspection. The DPIRD issued a public notice Sunday as it could attract more sharks in the area.
