I just found an interesting article about the discovery of a 7 feet long oceanic white tip shark photographed in the Pacific off Hawaii. It had a lot of well visible sucker marks from a very large squid (most likely Architeuthis). I´ve seen similar sucker marks were already described in mako sharks feeding on Humboldt squids. Perhaps some of you will also remember that many years ago I started a thread after I discovered photos of an Antarctis sleeper shark and a Pacific sleeper shark with very large sucker scars which were never officially made public. Here´s the link: This shark fought off a deep-sea squid, first-ever picture reveals
 
Cool! Large rings, two rings wide. This shark has seen some action!
