Researchers hunt down mystery predator
great white
The great white shark is said to have been "devoured" by a mystery predator.

Great white shark devoured by mystery predator is the subject of a new film

Australian researchers are attempting to track down the mystery predator that devoured a great white shark 11 years ago, the Independent reports.

Film maker David Riggs began a quest to find the mysterious creature, a quest which became the subject of his film Hunt for the Super Predator. It is due to air on the Smithsonian Channel on June 26.

Researchers tagged the great white as part of a large scale project to study their movement patterns, the Independent says.

After one of the devices washed ashore, data showed a female shark being plunged at high speed to 580 metres beneath the surface of the water, alongside a drastic temperature shift suggesting the device was in the animal's stomach as it ate the shark.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
