This Massive Catch is Pure Nightmare Fuel

You can’t convince me that this creature isn’t something straight out of a horror film…or pure nightmare fuel. Fisherman Barry Trevett spotted a 17 ½ stone beast measuring over 10ft long while he was reeling in his catch off Lyme Regis, Dorset.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the creature is not native to British waters and is more commonly found near Australia or Africa. Barry expressed amazement at seeing such a magnificent creature but was saddened to find that it had died from natural causes.

News of this discovery spread quickly and experts were quick to believe that these creatures may be spreading into our warming waters due to the recent finds of similar sharks in other parts of Britain and Ireland within just a few months. Sadly, one of these creatures had its head removed by trophy hunters which only added further cause for concern among conservationists.

Barry Trevett was fishing off Lyme Regis when he noticed something strange floating beneath the surface of the water about a few miles out from shore. As the boat approached closer it became clear that this mysterious shape was in fact an incredibly rare shark with approximately 100 razor sharp teeth spanning its entire length.

Recognizing immediately that this species wasn’t native to British waters, Barry quickly called his brother as if to remind him “Just when you think it’s safe to go back in the water!”

Upon further investigation after bringing it back on board, Barry noted signs indicating that this shark – known as a Smalltooth Sand Tiger Shark – had died from natural causes rather than any kind of external trauma or injury which could have been caused by humans or predators such as dolphins or whales.

In order for experts to study and document their findings properly, Barry reported his find to the Zoological Society London and kept it preserved in his refrigerated van until they arrived two days later for collection purposes.

It has been suggested by some experts that these particular species could be spreading into our warmer waters due to climate change. This news has caused much worry among conservationists who fear that trophy hunters may soon start targeting them like they did before causing irreparable damage to their numbers worldwide.
