Perhaps the old saying is true: You are what you eat

And in this case, a shark primed itself to be a decadent meal for a wreckfish that was casually passing through.Researchers who were exploring the ocean depths to look for a World War II shipwreck shared a video of a rare shark sighting last month. The NOAA Ocean Exploration and Research team recorded a school of deep-sea dogfish feasting on a dead swordfish about 1,476 feet below the surface off the coast of South Carolina.

Peter Auster, a senior research scientist at the Mystic Aquarium and research emeritus professor at the University of Connecticut, said these sharks probably traveled a long way to feed on this swordfish. Scientists call this a"food fall.""When a large food fall occurs, like a 250-plus pound swordfish, the ability to detect and locate the food, and then maximize food intake, is the key to growth and survival," Auster wrote for one of NOAA's mission logs.

If it was eaten piece-by-piece that's the exact opposite of 'swallowed whole.'
