Watch: Shark Eating A Cow In The Middle Of The Ocean

How did these two meet?

*CONTAINS DISTRESSING SCENES*

A video showing a shark eating a cow has appeared online and no one understands what's going on.

The clip was filmed by a few lads who were sailing off the coast of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean, when the spotted the water churning and decided to investigate. I bet they wish they hadn't because what they found gives more questions than answers.

The cow the shark was chowing down on is a horned zebu cow, if you care, which aren't known for their love of the sea. And the hungry shark is a 16ft tiger shark, so fair play to the lads who filmed it, because that is some serious dedication to viral video.

Now, while the video is pretty cool and also quite gross in equal measure, I think the bigger question is how did this scenario come about? I hope to God the sharks aren't coming on land, Sharknado-style, and eating our livestock. Do cows live near the sea? I don't get out the city much, so I assumed cows lived in fields and didn't take beach holidays very often, but perhaps I'm wrong.

The cameraman may have a solution, as he reckons that the cow fell off a boat. But then, again, so many questions. Who is carrying a 200kg dead cow on the water? And why? When it fell overboard did they just think, 'nah, leave that' or did the shark put up a bit of a fight for it?
