Cookie cutter shark attacks submarine

The image shown below is a damaged sonar dome from a submarine which was attacked by a cookie cutter shark. Tooth marks are also visible. Perhaps the cookie cutter shark mistakenly identified the submarine as a whale.

Cookie cutter sharks can be found in the Philippines and other regions of the Pacific Ocean. They feed on large marine animals by carving a circular piece of flesh on its prey using its sharp teeth. Its prey is then left out with an almost perfect circular bite mark that would appear as if someone used a round cookie cutter.
