Incredible Moment a Shark is Eaten by its Bigger Rival at South Korean Aquarium

There are a number of ways to end a domestic, and some are more drastic than others.

This female shark ended hers by simply eating a male opponent in an aquarium in Seoul, South Korea.The female sand tiger shark measures 7.2ft, while her late rival, a male banded hound shark, was only 3.9ft long.

The aquarium said the female shark would have to regurgitate the body of the male shark after a week as she would not be able to digest him.

Ten minutes after the attack, the larger shark was filmed swimming around with the body of her tank mate hanging out her mouth.

Approximately 21 hours later, only the tip of the tail remained, as the shark swam around the aquarium's undersea tunnel in front of aquarium guests.

The tail is expected to stay in her mouth for about four to five days, the aquarium said, adding that the shark will regurgitate the creature after about a week.

The aquarium believes the incident to be a kind of 'turf war'.

'Sharks have their own territory. However, sometimes when they bump against each other, they bite out of astonishment.

'I think the shark swallowed the whole body, because they usually eat it all when they bite the head part,' said PR manager of COEX aquarium, Oh Tae-youp.

Fights between small sharks have happened in the past, Oh added, but this kind of occurrence is rare and the first of its kind at the aquarium itself.

The aquarium started breeding big sharks about 10 years ago, according to the aquarium. Now, they say, a total of 42 sharks live together in the tank, with two turtles and 20 rays living alongside
