Sydney shark attack survivor wakes from coma, whispers 'I love you' to family

A 34-year-old Sydney teacher, Leah Stewart, woke from a 10-day coma after being bitten by a great white at Coogee Beach, telling her mother and partner that she loves them. She has undergone five surgeries, including an arm amputation, with more planned, and a fundraiser has raised around AU$488,000. As sharks remain active off Sydney, NSW officials plan to roll out world-leading drone surveillance to monitor beaches (with Surf Life Saving drones already in use) rather than pursuing culling, because great whites are a protected species; shark nets are expected to be reinstalled in September.

The late scratch came as the horse had joined the field earlier in the week as a replacement for Silent Tactic, reducing the Derby field from 19 to 18.

Recent years have seen a resurgence of sharks along the U.S. East Coast due to environmental changes and seal populations, highlighting the complex legacy of the movie and the importance of protecting these apex predators.
