Nice.... but I've eaten all but maybe 3 of those types of sharks!
I don't go into the bush unarmed... and I follow that rule in the water. CM "Bart Senior" .@. wrote in message Good show on the Discovery Channel on the 10 most dangerous sharks. Showing again Dec 1st, 2nd, 3rd. 10: Lemon Shark--8 feet, great night vision, likes shallow waters. 9. Blue Shark--8' - 13', Fastest shark. 8. Hammerhead Shark--Fastest turning, 7 senses 7. Sand Tiger Shark (Grey Nurse Shark)--10' - 14', found in numbers around shipwrecks and plane crashes. 6. Grey Reef Shark--fights over food, attacks each other in mass feedings 5. Short Fin Mako--6' - 12' Fastest shark. Exceptional jumpers 4. Ocean White Tip--best sense of smell, numerous, very hungry. 3. Tiger Shark--10' - 20' and will eat anything 2. Great White--14' to 23' long. Attack from underneath into the air. 1. Bull Shark--8' long. Found in fresh up to 300 miles up river and salt water--even some lakes. They sometimes school in large groups. Many previous attacks attributed to the Great White were probably Bull Sharks --the most deadly shark. More information http://www.sharks.com/ I found it interesting that the ocean sharks are among the most persistent and aggressive--because food is less abundant offshore--something to think about. I was also expecting the Bull to be #2 and the Great White to be #1. |

Just ask "Two Bite Bob" for any info on how to evade shark attacks.....
:-) Sure, do what Sloco does and stay away from the water. RB 35s5 NY |
