Man Immediately Regrets Jumping Onto A Dead Whale Being Eaten By Great White Sharks



Harrison Williams, of Quinns Rock, north of Perth, was videotaped jumping from his friend’s boat and swimming across to the dead whale, because one of his mates said “it would be pretty funny to surf the whale.”

However, there were several large great white sharks circling and feeding on the other side of the whale. The 26-year-old said he knew they “busy chomping on the whale,” but told Seven News he knew it was a stupid thing to do once he was on top of the whale.
