Massive creature takes bites out of stingray on Swan River

A fisherman has shared gruesome pictures of what he pulled from the water from the shores of the Swan River last week.

A half-eaten stingray has terrified Perth locals after it washed up on the shore of a river with massive bite marks taken out.

Graphic images were shared online of the decimated stingray on the shores of the Swan River.

Fisherman Liam Kenny reeled in the dead animal while fishing at the spot on Sunday morning.

“It’s easily the craziest thing I’ve seen (while fishing) and the biggest ray I’ve caught,” he told 7NEWS.com.au.

Mr Kenny believes a bull shark had taken it’s fill of the stingray before discarding the carcass in the water.

A person shared the “gruesome” images to social media which attracted a barrage of messages from terrified Reddit users.

“Old mate pulled this stingray out of the Swan River that has three large bites freshly taken out of it.,” he wrote.

“The stingray is one metre across for reference.”

People were disturbed by the find

“Far out … that’s an epic picture and story,” one user wrote in the comments.

“I’m scared and second-guessing paddle-boarding at the moment.”

A father-of-two was lucky to survive a violent bull shark attack just a few kilometres further along the Swan River in 2021.

Cameron Wrathall had been swimming at Blackwall Reach when the three-metre shark attacked him with so much force it broke his hip.
