Photos of an enormous tiger shark’s corpse have started to circulate on social media, with some claiming it was pulled out of the water in northern New South Wales over the weekend. Geoff Brooks posted two images of the six metre apex predator to Facebook on Tuesday, claiming that the tiger shark was ‘caught off 7 Mile Beach’ near Lennox Head, on the northern NSW coast, at some stage over the weekend.
‘As far as I’m aware; It was a kill order on a shark here on the far north coast that was identified as being responsible for a local attack.’And yes – it’s real,’ he added.
The Northern Star have reported that the giant tiger shark was sent to the fish markets when it was caught and that the only proof of its existence are a set of jaws taken by the fisherman as a souvenir. Other reports claim that the body was handed over to authorities with the CSIRO, however a spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that the shark has not been accounted for by CSIRO staff.
