Researchers from James Cook University were tagging marine life on the northeast coast when the 3m tiger shark they caught vomited up a dead echidna.
Nicolas Lubitz, a PhD candidate who studies marine predators, said he could only assume the shark gobbled up the echidna while it was swimming in the shallows off the island, or travelling between islands, which the animals are known to do.
Crazy but I did think for a second that it said ‘enchilada’ lol

TIL echidnas can swim
It’s one of these things that logically you know must happen occasionally (and I’ve even seen pictures of it) but still doesn’t seem right.
Are there any mammals that can’t?
Straight out of one of those Sonic games where you can choose your own character.

I’m more certain than ever that tiger sharks are called that because they can morph into tigers to hunt land animals.
