Multiple outlets report rare footage of a great white shark feeding on the carcass of a humpback whale off Rhode Island. CBS News and Yahoo News both describe video showing the shark as it feeds on the whale remains, characterizing the footage as uncommon. The New York Post adds context about how the event is being documented: a team launches a mission to track a drifting carcass—described as a 40-foot humpback whale—after earlier public videos circulated showing a great white feeding nearby. Across the reports, the carcass is the focal point of the shark sightings, occurring in Rhode Island waters, and the key detail is that the feeding behavior is captured on camera. While outlets differ slightly in wording—such as describing the shark as “well fed” or noting this is the first time such behavior is caught in Rhode Island—the accounts are consistent that the great white is observed consuming the whale carcass and that the footage drew attention after initial videos from the public surfaced.
