2022: Tiger shark regurgitates intact echidna near Orpheus Island, Queensland, in a world-first event observed by James Cook University researchers.
A tiger shark was spotted regurgitating a fully intact echidna in a surprising world-first event off the Queensland coast. This surprising sight occurred while a team from James Cook University was tagging sharks near Orpheus Island in May 2022. The researchers believe it is the first time a tiger shark has been recorded eating an echidna, a land-dwelling animal. Known for their voracious appetites, tiger sharks have been documented eating a wide range of prey, including seabirds, tyres, license plates, and even small TV screens.
