Brazilian isistius - not the most friendly animals. Like any other sharks, they travel across the ocean in search of food. But unlike other predators, Brazilian sharks do not kill their prey and bite off a piece of it and move on.

These small shark attack even one of the most dangerous sea creatures - a great white shark, which is larger isistius about 10 times. Once divers managed to photograph the great white shark with a distinctive scar from a bite on the side - when the little shark bite victim glowing, special structure of their jaws allow them to pull out of the victim's body hemispherical shred flesh. The shape of the hole in the left side of the victim, resembles a ball of ice cream.

As is known, the Brazilian isistius prey on a wide variety of marine life - in their diet includes swordfish, whales, killer whales, and even people. They do not care who is in front of them - a dangerous sea predator and its own kinsman.

Maximum such sharks grow to 50 centimeters in length. They live in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. Day they spend on depth, and closer to the night can swim closer to the surface. One instance of this kind was caught at a depth of 3,000 meters.

But do not think that these little predators are invulnerable. Once researchers have found a shark in the stomach of a large tuna - as can be seen, the tactics of that time did not pay off.
