And Finally... 'Mega shark' savages a Great White in Australia
Australian beach goers have been warned to be on their guard after a giant shark believed to be up to 20ft long almost ripped a great white in half near the Queensland coast.
Two large bites were taken out of the 10ft white pointer by another great white, which is believed to be 1.5m longer than the creature that featured in Steven Spielberg's Jaws.
Ashton Smith, a 19-year-old surfer, said: "Whatever attacked and took chunks out of this big shark must be massive.
"I've heard about the big one that's lurking out there somewhere. We're all being very, very cautious."
Jeff Krause of Queensland Fisheries added: "It certainly opened up my eyes. I mean the shark that was caught is a substantial shark in itself."
The injured great white was still alive when it was dragged on to a boat near Deadman's Beach off north Stradbroke Island.
