His photo has gotten more than 1,100 reactions and comments on Facebook, with some noting the "voracious" predator created something akin to "Swiss tuna." "An awesome horror movie," Daniel Rayment posted on Facebook. "Ok, as if there wasn't enough things to be scared of in the ocean," Allen McFarlen wrote. So what caused the bites? Moyce believes it was a cookie-cutter shark, a species that nibbles at its prey without killing it. Cookie-cutters are among the world's "lesser-known" sharks and also one of the strangest, experts say. Despite being only about 18 inches in length, cookie-cutters were responsible for three attacks on humans in 2019, according to the Florida Museum. The "cookie-cutter attaches itself to the victim, such as tuna, marlin or other sharks, using strong, suckling lips," Fresh 'n Salty reports. "Afterwards, in a can-opener style, it sticks the teeth out, twists around and cuts out the perfectly circular piece of meat!" The wounds on the tuna resemble that type of bite. However, a lot of people weren't convinced, questioning how one fish had so many wounds. "Never seen one with this many bites," Eddie Burger posted. "I've seen two bites on one fish rarely. Never anything like this," Scott King posted. "Could squid have done this"? James Berry asked.

Whatever does that to a yellowfin is nothing to mess with. Those things take off like a bullet train in the water.

Dwight Schrute:
I invented a device, called Burger on the Go. It allows you to obtain six regular sized hamburgers, or twelve sliders, from a horse without killing the animal. George Foreman is still considering it, Sharper Image is still considering it, SkyMall is still considering it, Hammacher Schlemmer is still considering it. Sears said no. |

Those are the marks from a tuna can. They skipped a few steps though.

View Quote I think the first grab of the tuna was a lucky one, maybe while it was chilling / feeding under a kelp paddy. After that, they live along with the fish and suction cup over a few inches for the next meal. They remind me of Remoras. |

The cookie-cutter shark grows to about 2 feet long as an adult, but have specially crafted jaws that can scoop out a nugget of flesh, leaving a gaping hole, hence the "cookie-cutter" name. Their bites aren't lethal, but the bites leave obvious markings, even after they've healed… Laying in wait The sharks attack larger animals because they have an interesting camouflage mechanism: Glowing markings on their skin let them hide in groups of squid, which also glow. When larger animals feed on the squid, the shark can launch a surprise attack on their victim and quickly leave the scene after nabbing a chunk of flesh. Planet Earth is endlessly fascinating, once you can break free of the “everything is Fake” paradigm. Btw, They Scoop. |

I've caught tuna with worse wounds, specifically everything from the gills back was bitten off. Pesky sharks.
