Great White sharks feed on whale carcass (video)

shark-vs-dead-whale.jpgA video camera on board an Island Packers boat in the Channel Islands off Anacapa captured three Great White sharks taking bites out of the floating carcass of a Minke whale on Sunday. The company posted the video with credit to Andrea Mills. The 49-second video is a bit graphic but not gory. I guess sharks are the vultures of the Pacific.
