A 50-year-old Australian surfer made a narrow escape after being bitten by a shark. And then, against all odds, he managed to drive himself to a hospital for treatment.
FYI, the shark attacked on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at D’Estrees Bay on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, in a surf area locals call “The Sewer.” According to Shark Watch South Australia, a large bronze whaler shark, which can reach lengths of 11 feet and weigh as much as 660 pounds, is suspected to have carried out the attack, possibly while chasing a seal and using the surfer as a decoy.
