A fisherman has caught a huge shark's head off .... Australia, leading to fears an even bigger creature attacked it.

The severed head weighed a huge 100kg, meaning the shark it came from could have been up to 12ft long.

It appears the Mako shark's head was bitten off and discarded by a predator - potentially an even bigger shark.

    Better check if it's venomous too.

    Venomous creatures Downunder are small.
    They do it on purpose, to sneak and kill you unobserved.

        I lost my fear of drop bears after I got adjusted to Vegemite, it's the best defence.

        Took me, like, 35 years tho'...
        (granted, the first 34.5, I didn't know Vegemite existed. And I knew nothing about drop bears either)

        Drop bears aren't venomous, but the platypus is.

            Well yeah, but goannas are australian reptiles so it's expected. The platypus is unusual in being a venomous mammal.

    More importantly, check if this crap is true. Seriously? We are now looking to "The Mirror" for SN submissions? Unfortunately, it seems all too fitting that some moron going by the moniker "realDonaldTrump" would submit this one.
