'Monster Shark' Chomps Into Great White

9:54am UK, Tuesday October 27, 2009

Huw Borland, Sky News Online
A giant shark that could be up to 20ft long has sent shockwaves across
Australian beaches after a great white was nearly bitten in half.

A stunning picture shows a 10ft predator thrashing about with two massive
chunks missing on either side of its body, off the Queensland coast.

Experts said its rival may be 20ft (about six metres) long, judging by the size of the huge bites.

The great white was savaged after it got snared on a drum line - a baited
hook attached to a buoy - near North Stradbroke Island, east of
Brisbane.

The wounded creature was still alive when a crew hauled it onto a boat, close to Deadman's Beach.

"It certainly opened up my eyes. I mean the shark that was caught is a
substantial shark in itself," Queensland Fisheries' Jeff Krause told
Australia's Daily Telegraph.

Swimmers have been warned to stay out of the water near the island.

The attack also worried many at a nearby tourist Mecca - Surfers Paradise, south of Brisbane.

Surfer Ashton Smith, 19, of the Gold Coast, told the Courier Mail: "I've heard
about the big one lurking. Every surfer is always cautious over here."

Drum lines and shark nets are used to defend swimmers from sea predators,
but they have been criticized for occasionally trapping migrating
whales.

Fisheries minister Tim Mulherin told the Mail that the
capture of the bitten shark - and the indication of a larger one
feeding in the area - bolstered the decision to keep defences in place.

He added there were no special plans to hunt the attacking shark but contractors had reset the drum lines.

I know the story is old and sorry if it was posted sometime in October
but I saw this on this story of the 100 weirdest stories of 2009 and I
was shocked at the pic. It was # 67 by the way.
