I can’t believe I ate the whole thing

If one shark eats another shark, is it cannibalism? What if said meal is a different species of shark?

Sub-question:  At what point along the hierarchy of biological classification does cannibalism become normal food chain?

Somebody make a Venn diagram, fast!

Either way, this National Geographic image—taken by ecologist Daniela Ceccarelli off the Great Barrier Reef—sure looks barbaric.

See, kids? This is what happens when hide-and-seek goes very wrong. The camouflaged wookie shark (its more factual name being a wobbegong shark, aka a carpet shark) done unhinged its jaw and deep-throated that brown-banded bamboo shark to death.

Kinda reminds me of the other date rapist of the sea, the skeevy, body-snatching cone snail.
