What is really out there


A dead Porpoise found on a Wexford Beach (image: Irish Whale and Dolphin Group )
 Just got this from my pal Mac of the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group of a porpoise washed in onto a beach in Wexford just across the Irish Sea! I cant be sure but it looks like something has taken a great big bite out of this poor porpoise, the question is , if it was a bite what bit it. Orca is the only native marine predator with a mouth that big or perhaps a big Porbeagle or Mako Shark. I suppose just maybe it could be another species such as Great White or the less well known but perbhaps even more potrentially dangerous Bull Shark. We may never know but lets hope it dosent come here eating our porps!
