Photos: Great Whites"Take Turns" Feeding on Dead Whale

Agreat white sharktakes a bite from a dead Brydes whale (see pictures) in False Bay,South Africa, on September 10.

The whale carcass was methodically stripped by at least 30 great whites—but without a violent feeding frenzy that can sometimes occur, witness Alison Kock, of theSave Our Seas Shark Centre, said by email.

"It was extraordinary to see so many sharks and so little aggression,"said Kock, who spent nine days at sea watching the fish scour the carcass clean.

"With such abundant food on offer, there was no need for fierce competition between them,"Kock said.
