See that image above with the shark who has a bite mark right through the center? Well, that’s the so-called “smaller” shark in this news story which is gaining headlines in Queensland, Australia at the moment where summer temperatures are just getting underway (which means more people are starting to hit the beaches).

Apparently, the mega shark, estimated to be about 6 meters long, took ONE bite out of a 3-meter-long shark that was caught in a baited drum line and nearly cut that shark in half.

Here’s the news story from 7 News (below).

The stroller and the baby were both pushed about 40 meters down the track and miraculously the baby only suffered a small bump to the head. Watch the surveillance footage from the train stop above.

After the Sydney dust storm two weeks ago, Derek Powazek quickly contacted some of the photographers behind the amazing photos he was seeing and invited them to be a part of Strange Light, a MagCloud magazine that shows what people saw during Australia’s worst dust storm in over 70 years.

Strange Light is still available right now for just $6, a cheap price to pay for a tangible copy of so many marvelous photos.
