According to official reports, a tooth belonging to an ancient giant shark has been stolen from a World Heritage Site in Australia
It appeared that thieves deliberately targeted the tooth considering that it had been in a semi-secret location and attached to a rock.
It was a huge shock that the 8cm (3in) tooth still went missing from the undisclosed location in a remote national park in Western Australia.
It was one of two Megalodon teeth located in the Unesco World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Coast, according to Western Australia's Department of Environment and Conservation.
Spokesman Arvid Hogstrom said:
"The worst part is they took the better specimen, which was not so well known.
"Our staff had actually physically covered it up with natural features to make sure it was hidden."
