Where else has this been seen? TV anywhere? Newspapers anywhere? No?

It's Photoshop bollocks and before anyone tells me that a Tiger can't bite through a strobe when it can bite through a leg, please pull my other one.
Actually, i think i remember seeing something about the pressure of a sharks bite not being much which is why you can get away with a chainmail suit for shark diving. Their destructive power comes from the fact they shake their heads and the teeth rip through whatever they have bitten, rather than chew through it as their jaw isnt built for chewing. Hence the chain mail stops the ripping action of the teeth.

Or i might be dreaming.
