<p>A whale carcass rotting on a beach in Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, attracted the attention of a shark, as seen in drone footage taken on June 6.</p><p>The dead whale, a young humpback, washed ashore in Frenchman Bluff over the weekend. Videographer Mark Thomas said the shark, possibly a great white, was “patrolling back and forth near the whale, waiting for the tide to rise” so that it could “get closer for a feed.”</p><p>“So far the water around the whale hasn’t been deep enough for the shark to get closer for a feed,” Thomas said. “But the shark is patient.” Credit: Mark Thomas via Storyful</p><br />
