    Shark bite and releases explained

    I have long scoffed at the notion that white sharks test bit humans and once they realized we weren't seals simply lost interest and swam away. I even theorized that it was more likely a bite and wait until the prey bleeds out strategy. Neither God nor the universe creates 2 ton fish by having them pass up free meals! A couple of specials I've seen lately have finally come out and proven me right , at least in some cases.
    When great whites attack fur seals in shark invested waters you see the famous bass like top water strikes and relentless attack. That's because if they don't kill the animal and munch down immediately another great white will steal there dinner.
    However, when they hunt young elephant seals in less shark crowded waters, they tend to bite , disabling the flippers and wait for the creature to bleed out and be less dangerous. In the case of humans however, other people pull the dead or injured swimmer out of the water before the shark can feed.
    They do in fact test bite, to see if am object is food, not to be fussy about what kind of food it may be. Nesting great white females will also kill when not hungry in they feel their nest area is threatened.

    Major bite wounds to his right thigh...


    Great White Shark Attacks California Spear Fisherman Off Pebble Beach
    November 26, 2017 • A man spear fishing with his father off Pebble Beach in California was attacked by a great white shark and suffered major bite wounds to his right thigh.
    Grigor Azatian, 25, was helped ashore by two off-duty police officers who had been fishing nearby when the Friday afternoon attack occurred. They applied a tourniquet to his leg to stem “massive blood loss,” said a statement from the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office. A sheriff’s department helicopter flew overhead afterward and may have spotted the shadowy body of the 15-foot shark.

    Azatian and his father were fishing several hundred yards offshore, at Stillwater Cove in Monterey County, when Azatian was attacked. He was listed in stable condition on Saturday following surgery. He’s expected to make a full recovery. “There was a lot of blood,” beachgoer Chris Prestegard told CBS News. “It didn’t look good.” “It was a shock for me,” Grigor’s father, Armen Azatian, told KSBW-8 TV. “It was a horrifying situation. My thought was just to try and help him to stop the bleeding.”


    The water was evacuated and warning signs posted. Shark sightings are on the rise off the California coast. One reason may be elevated water temperatures during global warming — and more people in the water. The water isn’t getting cold enough to send the sharks father south. Unprovoked shark attacks worldwide hit a record 98 in 2015, according to reporting by the Florida Museum of Natural History. There were 84 such attacks in 2016.

    Bull sharks are the biggest threat in the Gulf region.

    When I'm in Florida I swim in pools. They are everywhere anyway. As a young man I swam in the Withlachohee. ( no doubt butchered spelling) and the Rainbow. But no more. LOL

    Love the rainbow river, crystal clear see right to the bottom, used to bridge jump. Sadly, it is 200 or so miles, north. I have jumped off the bridge here about 10 times (20 ft drop) but I wont anymore. Never know what is hiding in that black water.

    And in general from what I understand. A nasty critter.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
