Embryonic cannibalism in sharks.
Multiple males may fertilize a single female sand tiger shark. The embryos compete in her two wombs by eating each other.
One article I've read suggests this is sexual selection of the males, continuing after fertilization. I don't agree, since the genes are only half his.
