11 Tiger Sharks Caught Off Australia’s Coast!
Monday, December 28th, 2009
At least 11 tiger sharks – some up to 13 ft long – have been caught in shark nets and on drumlines off Australia’s Sunshine Coast beaches in recent weeks, with one shark expert warning thousands more are cruising the region’s waterways.
Queensland shark control program manager Tony Ham said the increased movement of tiger sharks was an annual event signifying the end of the breeding season and the start of feeding frenzies as the feared predator gorges on large schools of bait fish along the Queensland coast.
Mr Ham warned people against swimming in dirty water, near large schools of bait fish and in rivers, creeks or canals.
