Tiger Shark vs. Hammerhead Shark | National Geographic

Rare footage shows an attack on a hammerhead shark by a tiger shark off the coast of Louisiana. A sport fisherman had gotten the hammerhead on the line only minutes before the other, much larger shark approached the fishing boat and seized its prey. Sport angler Ryan Willsea and his brother Aaron captured the footage using a selfie stick to submerge an action cam.

*NATGeo, change the title of this video.*
*"A hammerhead shark was offered as food to a tiger shark by fishermen"*
*That's the appropriate title.*

This is not a fight. It's not Hammerhead vs Tiger Shark. That's a Hammerhead getting eaten alive because it can't fight back.

[scrimmy]

So the hammer head gets completely tired out fighting the line and at the same time dodging a tiger shark. Not a fair fight at all and pretty cruel not cutting the line imo.

“Tiger shark eats helpless captured hammerhead” Human species...

The line should have been cut to give the hammerhead a fighting chance. Clowns

[joegriego]

Theres no "versus" in this clip. Its a tethered hammerhead with no way of defending itself against a bigger predator. Shame on NatGeo for posting this video.

[thecatthatgoesahh]

Rip my homie hammerhead he always kept it true in the streets....

[mitchyboy]

It would have been a natural fight if the hammerhead wasn’t on a line

[mikemoo]

Great job guys, set the hammerhead up for failure nicely.

[IWallbangHeadz]

Absolutely amazing footage, but a shame the hammerhead shark dies thanks to being hooked on a line and tired out...

[anadero]

Oh good. Next week can we feed a dolphin to the sharks and call it a fight?

[ahmadsherbeny]

It was hooked to a damn line and you call this a (vs) fight -_-

[alexanderwilliamson]

The poor thing didnt even had a fighting chance smh

[rustykilt]

Great video of some low life fishermen.. As a fisherman, I would have cut the line to give the Hammerhead a chance..

[frozeneternity]

this made me sad. The hammerhead might have faired better if it wasn't on the line

[motorob]

A real sportsman would have released the drag instead of baiting the bigger shark for footage

[MrDannyboyFL]

Why on Earth would national geographic post a video like this?

This is incredibly cruel and unfair. That hammerhead was minding his own business and you put him in harms way with no chance of defending himself
