    I feel badly for the pups! From what I understand, only the strongest will emerge! The strongest will begin it's reign of terror by eating the other developing pups!

    Antenna Wilde: only observed in sandtiger sharks: http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/topics/lh_intrauterine_cannibalism.htm but yes. Also Bruce Shark should see this.

    Thanks for the data and validation John Bump ! I had seen this on Nat Geo and the footage was pretty incredible!

    Wow! I presume they were released unharmed within their mother to continue populating the reef? Because sharks are getting as rare as european wolves and lions.
