Australia: Shark feeding frenzy closes beaches

A massive feeding frenzy involving more than 100 sharks resulted in the closure of several tourist beaches in eastern Australia today, a lifeguard official said.

Several beaches along Queensland state’s popular Gold Coast were closed for a second consecutive day after more than 100 hammerhead, gray nurse and whaler sharks were spotted feeding close to shore, according to Sue Neil, a spokeswoman for Surf Lifesaving Queensland.
