Video: great white shark and tiger sharks feed on whale carcass

Perth’s 9 News showcased footage of a large white shark and multiple tiger sharks feeding on the carcass of a juvenile humpback whale off of Rottnest Island, which is located west of Perth, Australia. According to the report, experts believe the humpback calf died of natural causes, and the sharks were taking advantage of an opportunistic feeding situation.

The video above also features some footage of three lively humpback whales migrating south to Antarctic waters.

Australia’s Ten News released some alternate footage of a tiger shark feeding on the whale carcass, which is unnecessarily accompanied by Jaws theme music.
