Giant great white shark captured off Catalina Island
A 14 foot great white weighing about 1 000 pounds swallowed two harbor seals of 300 pounds combined 300 pounds in its belly. The seals weighed 175 and 125 pounds respectively. Biologists dissected the creature in port as scientists expect little more of interest inside its swollen digestive system. The catch drew attention from Sea World the San Diego Natural History Museum and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography with interest in the specimen.
