Dreamtime Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Gut contents of a 20 kg Cobia caught off Pacific Palms, New South Wales, March 2006. The fish had eaten three octopus, a number of small fish (possibly Garfish - fillets at bottom right) and a juvenile Port Jackson Shark. This shark hatches at about 23 cm in length. The fish in the image still has vestiges of external gills, so it had very recently hatched. Copyright © Australian Museum, 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camoman Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Interesting. I would have thought the occy's would have been chewed up a bit more than they appear to be.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how hard it is to chew an octopus unless its been in a cement mixer for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
