Then one of them SWALLOWS THE OTHER ONE WHOLE. You’re probably assuming it was the shark who devoured the fish, because that’s a completely natural thing to assume, but in fact, it was the other way around. This video captures a goliath grouper eating a black tip shark (in one bite!) off the coast of Bonita Springs, Florida, according to the [video description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O37HI%5FAX9nY "undefined"). In conclusion: fish are terrifying, the ocean is terrifying, everything is horrible and nobody is safe.
