The remains of a missing person from Argentina were recently found inside the belly of a dead school shark. But experts say it is improbable that the shark killed him.
The remains of a missing person in Argentina were recently recovered from the belly of a dead shark. The shark had been caught by fishers near where the man went missing, leading to speculation in the media that the shark may have killed him. But shark experts and police suspect that the man was already dead before the shark ate him.
But on Feb. 26, local fishers caught three school sharks , also known as tope or soupfin sharks, near the beach. When the fishers were gutting the sharks, they found a human forearm, as well as other suspect human remains, in the belly of one of the sharks. The fishers turned the remains over to police, who identified a specific tattoo on the wrist of the forearm that matched one of Barría's tattoos, according to El País.
School sharks are medium to large-size sharks found across the globe. The individuals caught by the fishers, including the one that ate Barría's arm, each measured around 5 feet long. They are mainly bottom feeders, dining on flatfish and sardines near the seafloor, but they will also target larger fish and squid in the open sea.
