Monster great white shark caught in South Africa not yet fully grown
FISHERMEN are asking if this is the massive great white shark that has been stealing their catch, breaching repeatedly within metres of one terrified man’s surf ski.
These photographs of the 4.3m monster have been circulating on the internet, but reports from the South African fishing town of Mossel Bay confirm they are no hoax.
Frighteningly, scientists who dissected the female shark say it was adolescent and not yet fully grown, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Still, it had already grown to a weight of around 700kg when it was caught in shark nets off a popular swimming beach on August 31.
