NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. _ In one of nature's most vicious spectacles, a 15-foot great white shark feasted on a dead 50-foot baleen whale off Newport Beach for more than four hours Friday as lifeguards tried to tow the carcass away from shore.
The relentless shark began to sporadically feed on the whale about 3:30 p.m. and paused at one point to nip at the swim step of an Orange County Harbor Patrol boat whose deputies were keeping curious boaters from venturing too close to the animals about a mile from the harbor.
By nightfall, Steve Forbath, skipper of the Catalina Flyer ferry, was yelling into a cell phone, "Whoa! The shark just bit a three-foot hole in the whale!"
