Thread: Now this is a Shark

    Now this is a Shark

    Gday All,

    This pic was sent to me by a friend, whose fishing gear kept getting taken so they thought a shark maybe responsible..

    I have a set of tigershark jaws at home from a 13ft shark, but that is small compared to this.


    Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    It apparently measure a tad over 18ft...

    Cheers Ean

    Thanks Ean. That is more than good enough. I just like the challenge of working out the species from the photo and the location narrows the possibilities considerably.

    Cheers

    Carp not quite that big CC, but I have seen them big enough to take an appendage. Certainly no skinny dipping!

    Cheers

    I don't think it is a Tiger. No obvious banding. Colour not brownish. Dorsal fin is too rounded (though it could be damaged) and the pectorals look a bit short as well. I will see what the options are when I get to work tomorrow.

    Did he send you any more images Ean? It would be nice to see the tail and a close up of the mouth.

    Cheers
