This entry has nothing to do with sports, journalism or sports journalism. Not that it has been, daily, since 2008.

It’s just plain astonishment at the natural world, and sharks in particular, and a piece of video that perhaps you have not yet seen.

A shark eating a shark.

We first see that … “shark eating shark” … and we think of some bloody attack of one shark from the flank of another. Maybe it turns into a feeding frenzy, etc. We know that happens among sharks, as in the case of these IQ-impaired kids from 2012. (Less graphic, way more eff bombs.)

But no. This one is fairly astonishingly because it keeps throwing unexpected concepts at us.

–The shark is eating the other shark in a head-to-head manner. Yes, the bigger shark (more than eight feet long) has managed to begin eating the other shark (about five feet long) from the head first.

–This is happening in an aquarium in Seoul. Presumably in full view of horrified viewers. Perhaps including kids.

–At the beginning of the video, we see the bigger shark cruising about with the final third of the other shark hanging out of the bigger shark’s mouth. Gustatory overreach of the sort we might expect to see from a snake trying to swallow a pig, or something else ridiculously too large.

–Later in the 63-second video, the bigger shark has managed to gag down a bit more of its oversized meal (over the course of 21 hours, we are told) and only the tip of the smaller’s shark’s tail is visible outside the big shark’s mouth.

–And then the “thanks for the mental visual” kicker — in four or five days, says an employee at the aquarium, the bigger shark is going to gack up the smaller shark because it can’t digest the smaller shark.

The explanation of what happened, from the aquarium? A “turf” war, or perhaps the big shark being “startled” after being bumped by the younger.

Just sort of an amazing thing, and it’s probably all over the internet, but in case it isn’t, follow the link, above, to the Toronto Globe and Mail video.
