I've got a friend and neighbor that swims about a 1/4 mile out in the ocean everyday and does about five miles per day up of the Malibu coast. I've asked him on several occasion "How can you do that, knowing Great Whites are everywhere out there?"

His response: "Oh, I know they're out there. I just don't think about it".

:eek:

Looks like a younger great white to me. It's what the surfer thinks too. Apparently there were two of them...

They dont eat people, they attack when they're confused on the prey. Kayaks, surfboards, alot of those types of "rafts" look like seals etc, so they bite, then realize it's not fish/edible etc, and usually let go, problem is, their bite does some considerable damage to just about anything.

That was a scary video, too.

I'd be surprised if that shark lived very long since it was stuck in fresh water.

Oh, I have, believe me.

He's a 46 year old, wealthy single guy that bangs around with 23-25 year chicks. He claims they're far more vicious than any Great White.

As for fresh water, I wonder how long it will be before some idiot takes a small bull shark and dumps it into a freshwater lake.
