Half-eaten great white shark washes up on Australian beach

A great white shark whose mauled carcass washed up on a beach in Australia may have fallen prey to a killer whale attack, experts have suggested.

Astonishing footage showed the apex predator’s metres-long body had effectively been torn in half before it was found by residents in the state of Victoria.

Fisherman and bait shop manager, Ben Johnstone, who took the footage near Cape Bridgewater, said he had never seen a shark carcass wash up in 15 years of fishing in the area, telling ABC News: “It’s probably a once in a lifetime experience to see something like that.”

this wasnt attacked or eaten in the water, it died intact on the beach and scavengers and decay took over. this carcass has been there for at least 3 weeks based on the advanced stage of decay of the caudal fin and the sun damage present.
