The incredible moment a Great White shark CHOKED to death on a sea lion

It's the case of the great white shark that bit off more than it could chew - choking to death on a huge sea lion it tried to swallow.

Extraordinary video shots and photographs show the feared monster thrashing about close to Coronation Beach, north of the West Australian town of Geraldton, as it apparently tried to dislodge its latest food.

When the 4m shark eventually died and was brought ashore Fisheries Department inspectors were amazed to find the sea lion stuck in its throat.

Tash Tapper shot a video of the shark and uploaded it on YouTube, which has had more than 17,000 views so far
Ms Tapper, who was on the beach with her family, described the scene as 'surreal'
The WAtoday website reported today that research scientist Dr Rory McAuley found that while the male shark had no visible signs of injury or disease, the large sea lion was found stuck inside its throat.
'This could explain why the shark was exhibiting such unusual behaviour in shallow waters off Coronation Beach,' he said.
'It is possible that the shark was trying to dislodge the blockage.
She told of watching the shark swim in close to the shore, back out and back in for almost two hours.
'Too me, it seemed it was coming in to die,' she told WAtoday.

I guess that's "Karma" maybe it is the one that took swimmers recently over in W.A.

It must have been a huge shark - the sea-lions here in BC are huge beasts- or it was a small one.

Very interesting video - but can a shark (that breathes through gills) actually choke?

A fisherman here in SA claimed a record White Pointer shark catch a few years ago. Brought it to the wharf for photos and filming including by TV film crews. While being filmed a protected baby seal pup fell out of its mouth which had been used as bait ...... whoops!
