Frann 882 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 What type of shark was that ? the one the dog had? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm sure my grandad told me if you were attacked by a shark, you reached down it's throat, grabbed the inside of it's tail and pulled it inside out. He assured me he had done it many times. Or was that dogs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frontbum 76 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Just had a look at the tracker on ocean.org, looks like the shark is following the gulf stream, surprised how far they can travel in such a time,looks like its on course for southern Ireland at the moment, more than likely retrace its route back.

killbilly 17 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'd say this lady will be more interested in our seals than skinny white surfers;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ocset 91 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't know if its been mentioned. . . . but them being around the u.k isn't such an issue. . .. . . they do come here from time to time. . . . The issue is that our water is now warm enough for them to feed here. . . . . . . Cheers global warming! The water has always been warm enough for them to feed around our coast. The sea temperature here is the same as South Africa's and they feed well enough around there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beast 1,884 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 two shark stories you might like: when i was in perth, australia, a fella got killed just a few yards from the shore at cottesloe beach. there was a restauant called (i think) the blue duck overlooking the beach just where it happened, and some old boy in there saw the attack and droped dwon dead from a heart attack. dont know how true that is, but thats the version i heard (great white kills two with one bite!) my grandfather was on a ship in the south china sea during WW1. the boat got sunk by a torpedo, and he was lucky enough to get off alive. he spent 48 hours in the water clinging to a bit of wood or something, and all around him were bodies. throughout his ordeal he could see the bodies jerking and twitching, and sometimes simply vanishing underwtaer in an instant. they were being eaten by sharks, just imagine the terror going through your mind wondering if it would be you next......luckily it wasnt and he got rescued, otherwise i wouldnt be writing this story!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Country Joe 1,411 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Saw one in Durban Aquarium South Africa, its on its own, when it was swimming a few times it would pull its gums back exposing those teeth, its a killing machine, Im not surprised there here, with the amount of Seals round our Coasts, and no predators touching them.

Frann 882 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Apparently Lydia is pregnant and now binned Britain and heading for Turkey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Apparently Lydia is pregnant and now binned Britain and heading for Turkey. latest Lydia made a move east towards Ireland early this morning. “As Lydia travels across the Atlantic she is making history with every new ping and she is also quickly becoming an ambassador for her species. What is she doing? Where will she go? All questions remain to be answered however one thing she has taught us already is that these sharks know no boundaries and it will take the efforts of Nations on both sides of the Atlantic to conserve them.” - John Chisholm, Fisheries Biologist, Massachusetts Shark Research Program Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 They deserve their place on the planet as much as us If a few humans per year out of 7 billion is the deal so be it Fair point, Max. They eat a micro cosmically small percentage of us. And just look at the wall to wall f**king entertainment we get when one of them does. True. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
