On another note...


On the subject of sharks, I just wanted to post this up to question whether it is real?

Posts like this do not really help the reputation of shrks, particularly Bull Sharks and the Great White; 2 more aggressive species.


The front of the 'newspaper' shows a photograph of a man being bitten in half by a Great White shark.


According to the front, he lives.
Photoshop? or for real? Sadly, I cant find any information on this picture so for now it will remain a mystery!

One thing to remember about Shark attacks is that most surfers and divers who suffer from shark attacks and live, go back in the water. Why? Because they know that statistics for shark attacks are actually very low and have been over hyped by the media. Sharks only attack due to a natural respose and while we don't know for sure why sharks attack humans, many believe it is a case of mistaken identity as it is rare that sharks will continuously attack a human being for food. In most cases, the sharks bites, realises it's mistake and then leaves well alone.
