The Shark Arm Murder


Listen Later

On April 17, 1935, a fisherman hooked a small shark off Coogee Beach in Australia. Then a 13-foot, or four-meter, tiger shark swallowed the smaller shark, allowing itself to be caught by the hook as well. The fisherman just so happened to own an aquarium and decided the tiger shark would be his new attraction. But the small shark wasn’t the only thing the large tiger shark had gobbled up, though. Something the predator ate didn’t agree with it and would soon come back up.
