70 Tiger Sharks Devour Humpback Whale In Australia's Shark Bay

Dozens of tiger sharks were caught on video attacking the carcass of a humpback whale off the coast of Western Australia last week. 

Tour company Eco Abrolhos  captured the incredible scene at Shark Bay , about 500 miles north of Perth, using a GoPro camera and a drone. The footage showed the waters turning red with blood as the sharks tore into the carcass.

The company estimated that there were 70 sharks eating the whale:

"Something to show and tell the grandchildren," the company wrote on Facebook .

It was not clear if the sharks had killed the whale or if it was already dead from other causes.

Shark Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its namesake sharks as well as other vulnerable and endangered species, including green and loggerhead turtles and a population of 11,000 dugong, which are related to manatees. The area is also recognized for its vast seagrass beds and stromatolites .
