JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) -- A seal bit off a South African woman's nose after she tried to help it back into the sea, an official said on Monday.

Elsie van Tonder, 49, is expected to undergo surgery this week after being bitten on a beach near George, about 400 kilometer (240 miles) east of Cape Town on Saturday.

Her nose was found but could not be reattached to her face, local media reported.
