We need to bump it up to 300,000,000 sharks a year. We are definitely slacking.

Could have been a Sting Ray if it was only two inch gash.

Humans killed by shark yearly: under 10
Sharks killed by humans yearly: 100,000,000

Many sharks are going extinct. Like lions sharks serve a purpose in the food chain.

Yes, I am surfing at Melbourne beach, and it’s full of marine life, the turtle are eating close to the shore, and many sharks follow them. Ask any fisher around, but I think that guy could be attack by another kind of animal or a very small shark.

No, it’s not impossible, Jennifer..
A shark will go anywhere there’s food… they may swim in shallows to chase prey fish (Contrary to legend, they prefer fish to people) and will often do so if they “fix” on a particular fish which is heading beachward, swimming carefully around much larger snacks to do so.

I suspect, however, that the estimate of size may have been a little generous. A five-foot shark would have a bigger bite..

that’s impossible for a shark to be at a shollow place at a beach. The possibility is very unlikely.
