An elderly woman was devoured by a 22ft great white shark as she took a morning dip at a tourist beach in South Africa yesterday.

Witnesses including children saw the beast attack 77-year-old grandmother Tyna Webb three times then circle her before dragging her beneath the waves 60ft off Fish Hoek beach, Cape Town.

Her red swimming cap floating on the swell was all that was left.

Rescuers who searched in vain said they had spotted a shark 'as big as a helicopter'.

Africa, in this undated file photo. A shark of the same species attacked
and presumably killed an elderly woman, Tyna Webb, as she swam Monday
Nov. 15, 2004 off Sunny Cove in Fish Hoek as she had for 17 years. About
15 people witnessed the attack and she was presumed dead, officials
said. (AP Photo/Chris Fallows, Die Burger, File)

5. Gee, yesterday, this shark was only 15 feet long! It's growing by the day!

That was according to a post here, anyway.

Maybe by tomorrow it'll be a 50 foot previously-thought-extinct Megalodon!

SURF'S UP!
