One man said it was a great white shark. Another said he 'saw him in the wave and the shark had his body in his mouth -- it was pretty gruesome.'
Australian authorities searched Wednesday for the remains of a 55-year-old surfer after a witness reportedly saw an attack by a large shark that 'had his body in his mouth'. There has been no trace of the victim since the marine predator struck Tuesday morning near the popular surfing spot of Granites Beach in South Australia, police said. 'The man's body is yet to be found and the search resumed early this morning,' police said in a statement.
'It took every bit of him, I think.'Shark said to be 'length of a sedan' Jeff Schmucker, a local resident, told national broadcaster ABC that he used his jet ski to help emergency services search for the surfer. Schmucker said he went to the area of the attack and soon saw a great white shark 'the length of a sedan car' -- but he couldn't be sure if it was the killer. Great white sharks are known to prowl South Australia's coastline.
