The scientist was startled as he watched the wounded East rip apart in a cannibalistic attack while releasing an oceanic shark into the sea.

Despite half-eating other sharks when scientists released it into the sea, a ‘zombie shark’ has actively volunteered in search of prey.

Dr Mario Lebrato, 35, released the oceanic whitetip shark into the sea off the coast of Spain before it was attacked by a group of other sharks, inflicting fatal injuries on the unsuspecting animal.

Zombie shark kept swimming despite being ‘half eaten’

These included many entire sharks, which can weigh up to 400 kg, according to the Ƅiologist.

Despite the onslaught with a large part of its body lost after being ripped off, the shark fought for its life and attempted to swim away.

The shark struggled for about 20 minutes before finally succumbing to its injuries.

Dr. LeƄtrato stated that the shark struggled for almost 20 minutes before succumbing to its injuries.

He said: “Sharks eat sharks, that is well known, but it is very difficult to film and document.”

The shark companions lunged at the tip of the Ƅlack, inflicting fatal injuries.

In the video, the marine predator is well hidden beneath the water surface when it spots a seal meal.

The seals try to stay together, but eventually separate, and the shark takes the opportunity to attack.

The apex predator swoops down from below with jaws wide open, displaying hundreds of razor-sharp fangs in a terrifying twist of speed.

He punches the seal into the sky as he crushes it with his powerful force.

The shark then flies through the air with the seal between its teeth, spinning horizontally mid-leap before crashing into the ocean with a splash.
