A shark was seen off the coast of Block Island feeding off a whale Friday. <\/p>\n
Scientists said one of the great white sharks was at least 14-feet long. <\/p>\n
Experts from the shark conservancy are examining the video and bite marks to determine how big the rare white shark was. <\/p>\n
“One of them was really really big. We estimate maybe 14-feet, even larger. We had a crew at the whale yesterday and today and we\u2019ll be getting some measurements. There are a couple of significant bites on this whale. It was stark and everything was in to play. There are a couple of massive bites. We have some video and that was a 40-foot whale and the shark still looked bigger,” said Jon Dodd, executive director at the Atlantic Shark Institute. <\/p>\n
The shark conservancy said it should have the measurements later in the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A shark was seen off the coast of Block Island feeding off a whale Friday.
