Something killed and ate a shark, face first

I apologize for the Facebook link. I went to Youtube, but the only other copy I found had ads covering the screen and the story they told was different from that of the scientists who were releasing the shark.

They're not sure what it is. They think it looks like a giant isopod.

9. They may not have had a live feed and only saw the footage after bringing the cage up.

Waterproof camera housings are much simpler if they don't have extra openings, like for a cable to send video to the surface. Not to mention not having to tend a separate video cable.

8. Isopod was my instant thought.

Not a fan of the over-dramatic presentation, aren't these kinds of events and observations interesting enough without all the theatrics?

10. It was way better than the alternative one...

It was horrendous. And I did try to find something less 'OMG, LOOK!', but there weren't many that didn't take the same approach.
