Sharks Feed off Whale Carcass

South Australian fisheries authorities have placed a 328 foot exclusion zone around a whale carcass spotted of the north Coast of Kangaroo Island.

The ban was imposed after a shark was seen swimming near the 52-foot carcass.

The Australian state introduced laws making it illegal for people to stand on whale carcasses, after sightseers flocked to a similar incident in July 2001.

During the 2001 incident a shark was filmed feeding on a whale carcass, while spectators were shown balancing on the carcass.
