I read this and I literally just watched Jaws and Jaws2 over the weekend.

Over on this side of the country, we had a very rare fatal attack by a cougar on a female hiker.
Once heard an interview from a woman who regularly works with predator animals. She had a shark grab her wet-suited leg and started taking her into deep water. She immediately knew that if she fought the beast, it would bite harder and likely twist her leg off, so she made herself relax and hope the shark would realize she wasn't the type of prey it might expect (rubber wet suit). The shark let her go, and someone asked if she'd like to see the shark killed for being a potential Man Eater.
She said, oh no. It's only doing what Nature has designed it to do.

He probably died from shitting his pants so hard.

Its the seals. They always attract great white sharks.

reply

Yes. Great Whites do like seals. A man was recently attacked by a shark in Maui. They didn't say which type though.

I enjoy swimming in the ocean with snorkel and stuff. One of my biggest fears is a shark attack in addition to the undertow or giant wave. I mean a large shark may amputate you and the blood just makes it go looney tunes. You are paralyzed with shock, fear, and trying to grasp air as you try to survive and realize you are being eaten piece by piece until the blackout.
