Despite having half-eaten other sharks when scientists released it into the sea, a ‘zombie shark’ has been actively seeking out 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 complete sharks, which can weigh up to 400 kg, according to the Ƅhiologist.

Despite being attacked with a large part of its body missing after being torn 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’s well known, but it’s very difficult to film and document.”

The fellow sharks lunged at the tip of the Ƅlack, inflicting fatal wounds.

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

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

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

He knocks the seal into the sky while crushing it with his powerful fist.

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