Shark eats man: Human remains pulled from tiger shark by Filipino fisherman
- 9 years ago
When Filipino shark fishermen throw back a half-ton catch, you know something strange happened. Bodoy Gorgod and four other fishermen from Punta Bilar found human remains inside a shark caught between the Bohol and Camiguin islands.
The men say a tiger shark took their bait around 10 p.m. on Wednesday. They pulled in the monster-fish which they estimate to have weighed over 600 pounds. But when they cut open the fish, they didn’t find it had a diet of plankton and krill. This shark had consumed a human!
The crew found a partially digested human head and leg inside the shark. Fearing they’d be cursed with bad luck, the crew dumped the fish (along with the remains) back into the ocean. Well most of it. The fishermen hacked off the shark’s fins and head to keep.
Judging by tooth and jaw size, Jake Miranda, an expert diver at the Surigao Dive Club, estimated the shark was around 1,200 pounds. Some speculate the shark’s dinner may have been one of the passengers on the Maharlika ferry that sunk in September.
This isn’t the first find of it’s kind. Back in 2010, Bahamian fishermen found human remains inside a tiger-shark’s stomach.
