I got there after the lights went out.....but I'll go back. I love Shark Week! I'll miss it this year. no cable....at war w/comcast. I'd love to see one in the open ocean.
A couple of guys that I worked with at the FHP were Navy......one said that they'd go up in the choppers along the coast, and that if people actually KNEW what was in the water a little farther out, they'd never go in! You could see the sharks from the air. The attacks that happened here in the past few years were all bull sharks.....they are far more dangerous than whites. More tenacious....they tend to bite and hold on, whereas the White will let go. AND they can go from salt to fresh water without any difficulty.....we have the St John's River thatis fed by the ocean. I've seen dolphins there, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a bull shark in it either!
Ever since I saw Jaws, I've been fascinated by sharks.....do you know they are one of the few animal species that don't get cancer? Researchers have been trying to see if there's something in their system that can help human bodies destroy cancer cells the way they do in sharks. I just hope htey aren't fished out and killed off, several species are already threatened. The Japanese catch them, fin them and dump the bodies back in the ocean. Assholes! And you'd be surprised how much seafood on menus in areas isn't what it is advertised as...it's shark!
