AMAZING footage shows the moment a giant shark finally snaps and turns an old enemy into lunch.

This female shark quickly ended her long-running ‘surf war’ by eating her male rival in an aquarium in Seoul, South Korea.

The female sand tiger shark measures 7.2ft, while the poor banded hound shark was just half her size.

Minutes after the attack, the larger shark was filmed proudly swimming around with the body of her old foe dangling out her mouth.

By the next day only the tip of the tail was left on show.

The tail is expected to stay in her mouth for about four to five days, the aquarium said, when it will then regurgitate it.

“Sharks have their own territory. However, sometimes when they bump against each other, they bite out of astonishment.,” ‘ said PR manager of COEX aquarium, Oh Tae-youp.

“I think the shark swallowed the whole body, because they usually eat it all when they bite the head part.”

The COEX Aquarium, located in Seoul’s trendy Gangnam district, one of South Korea’s largest.

The aquarium, which opened in 2000, is home to over 40,000 creatures from over 650 species and has 90 exhibition tanks.

That was delicious.
