Narrator: This genetically re-created prehistoric shark is twenty meters long, and masses over fifty thousand kilograms.
Narrator: Whales, her usual prey, are hard work to take down. Humans, however, are easy. She had one last night, and another just moments ago.
Narrator: The only problem is that there's not much meat on them but hey, who can turn free hors d'oeuvres?
