A Chinese influencer known as Tizi is under investigation by local authorities in Southwest China for appearing to be eating an endangered great white shark in a video.

INFLUENCER UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR EATING SHARK

According to The South China Morning Post, police in Nanchong, a city in the province of Sichuan, China, has opened an inquiry into a video posted by the Chinese vlogger.

The influencer, Tizi, has 7.8 million followers on Douyin. Douyin is the Chinese version of TikTok.

The publication reports that the influencer was filmed eating a 50kg fish, which some believe to be a great white shark. 

‘This is so yummy’

In the clip, Tizi lies next to what appears to be a shark before she attempts to cook two different meals with its meat. Towards the end of the video, she takes a bite from the animal placed on a grill.

“This is so yummy,” she says in Mandarin.
