Tourist warning amid giant shark fears

A GIANT shark that could be up to 6m long has sent shockwaves across Australian beaches after a great white shark was nearly bitten in half.

Tourists holidaying in the state of Queensland have been warned to stay out of the water by authorities who fear a giant shark might be prowling the coast.

Concerns were raised after a 3m great white was found dead with two huge bites taken out of its body.
