North Sea shark attack confirmed ...probably

I believe everything I read in The Sun!

That killer shark on the loose will soon, by accident, get the taste for human meat then you're all doomed down there. In less time than it takes a shark to hop out a drysuit word will have got out that by far the tastiest surfer in the water lives up in Aberdeen!

That's it! I'm taking up knitting with blunt needles.

An interesting story on the NZ news today about a group of divers who met a Great White diving off Kapiti Island, near Wellington on the North Island.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/4346072a11.html

Until you get to this bit....

The men abandoned their dive and Mr Porter began photographing the shark by dipping his hand beneath the surface and snapping about 50 shots on his waterproof digital camera.

His mates even dangled him upside down, dunking his head into the ocean, in a bid to get a better photo of the shark, before trying to feed it by trailing a dead fish on a line. But, perhaps fortunately for Mr Porter, it wasn't hungry

Somehow I'm surprised that NZ has never featured in the Darwin awards.

They got a nice photo of it....

"so do seals swim sideways then? looks like that bite mark isnt from the bottom more towards the side, how can you say for sure it was attacked from below anyway"

if a shark is goin to kill to eat, it will attack from side as it circles you first, if it is goin to take a bite and leave, then it will come straight up. usually anyway.

details wrote:I know the sun says and expert has confirmed it's a shark bite but I'm sure I saw a program about 'shark attacks' that said sometimes a small wound can be picked at by scavengers and made to look a lot worse than it initially was!

Still a good excuse to put a picture of jaws in the paper though!

This is what the seal might have looked like before the attack.

Taken at my local break a couple weeks ago.

cute seal! looks like the seal is doing a sexy pose for you.. maybe it's a female seal?
