Kimon Bisogno, nicknamed “Kiki” , 39, has now been recovered lifeless. The partner, the Italian Diego Milesi, and the 5-year-old daughter were on the beach .
From the first information, it would have been a white shark, a predator that can reach six meters in length and guided by the sense of smell, it normally hunts for seals. Humans can be mistaken for seals, but when sharks realize they haven't hit their natural prey they walk away, even if the bite is fatal to humans.
