I'm more certain than ever that tiger sharks are called that because they can morph into tigers to hunt land animals.

Would’ve been a prickly meal.
I am impressed the shark got it out again and didn't end up with a permanent internal echidna spine collection.
Nicolas Lubitz, a PhD candidate who studies marine predators, said he could only assume the shark gobbled up the echidna while it was swimming in the shallows off the island, or travelling between islands, which the animals are known to do.
TIL echidnas can swim
TIL that tiger sharks can hunt in bush land.
TIL that tiger sharks can hunt in water land.
It's one of these things that logically you know must happen occasionally (and I've even seen pictures of it) but still doesn't seem right.
Are there any mammals that can't?

...dead echidna — a spiny creature similar to a hedgehog, which is usually found in forests, woodlands, shrublands and grasslands.
damnit! I did not have "universe gives us an actual land shark" on my 2024 bingo card. this decade is just gonna stay weird, isnt it...
Not actual land sharks; actual sea echidnas.
Watch out, they'll prick your toes.
