An Australian surfer who survived a great white shark attack recently won the right to keep the shark tooth left behind in his surfboard.
In 2015, Chris Blowes was attacked by a great white shark in Southern Australia, reports the BBC. He was comatose for 10 days following the attack, and Blowes ultimately lost his leg.
Blowes told the BBC that the shark "played with [him] for a bit" before finally pulling his leg off. Two of his friends pulled him to shore and he was transported to a hospital in Adelaide.
