Giant Great White Shark in New Zealand

giant great white shark

Pictured above is New Zealand commercial fisherman Warwick Harris posing with the jaws of a massive Great White Shark that got caught in his nets off the Waikato coast. It was 15 feet long and weighed in at 3300 pounds. The remainder of the shark is with scientists who are investigating the matter.

Harris was fishing for snapper and gurnard when he tried to pull in his net and failed. He was forced to tow it back to port; the shark was already dead and they suspect it might have been preggers.

A surfing competition is planned for tomorrow (some time next week NZ time), but organizers assure us it will go on as planned, despite the fact that even a large human being will completely fit inside the massive deadly jaws shown above.

Apparently the mandibular portion of the beast will be sold on "TradeMe", which is the Kiwi equivalent of eBay. We will keep you informed should you wish to bid.
