The whole idea of shooting the shark is fucking stupid too. After a shark attack, yeah, they go out in a boat on THE OCEAN with a million sharks and somehow, they find the ONE shark that attacked a surfer.
I mean, are people that gullable?

Yeah, it's not like they have fucking tracking devices or something.  If they then do kill something, how is it not random and just to try stop the outcry from fucking retards.  You take that risk going into the ocean.  You get you're leg bitten off, sorry pal, bad fucking luck.

It's a vicious circle. A shark gets killed by a fisherman, so the sharks scout the local beach and look at one of the swimmers and say "Hey that's the one that shot Jabberjaw". And then they go back to the Shark Reef and say..."we got him!"

[TAC]

Of course you know the feeling when you're taking a nap and you feel someone watching you...

That gif is like 2 different cats.  They turn evil quicker than we can blink.

The kayaker's video was a tad upsetting.

That dude is lucky. Both of them, actually. I remember the story of the guy diving for the teeth. Insane.

The kayaker's video was a tad upsetting.

Why?  Just because he could and probably should have died?  Lucky as hell the gator didn't eat him when he went under.

Love the crocs just beasting it up through the suburbs too.

Yeah, that second day cheated death for sure.

Ah ok.  I wasn't fazed at all by it. Thought it was fascinating but was expecting more. 

You could tell from the dude's hands afterwards though he probably had just shit himself.

Nothing too interesting in this article but in Australia, looks like they are bulking up, skipping the fish and moving to pork and fucking more.  These fuckers are gonna take over.  This just popped into my MSN feed haha.

Saltwater crocodiles in Australia’s Northern Territory are thriving, and the reason why might surprise you. The population of the big reptiles in the area rose from a low of around 3,000 in 1971 to more than 100,000 today. And it turns out, a proliferation of wild pigs might be fueling the croc comeback

Wow, that's crazy. Don't go near the water!

If only humans realised it was actually that simple.

Ha... full disclosure, up here on Long Island, my wife and I enjoy kayaking on the sound and some of the local rivers. When we move down to Florida later this year, we fully intend on continuing to kayak in the many Florida state and national parks. But I don't think there's a body of water there that won't have at least a gator or three.

That said, a couple summers ago, we were swimming on one of the many beaches on the south shore when they suddenly called everybody out of the water. Apparently, a great white had been spotted close by...  shades of the movie Jaws, which was set in Long Island.

Fucking crabs were enough to stop me from swimming in the ocean.

I've also had contact with some type of jellyfish that left a nasty stinging red rash on my arm.

I grew up on the ocean, and when I was a kid, if I went in the water, I'd wear old sneakers.

Looking for frisbees?....

People are fucking stupid. I saw another article where they said the guy was actually searching IN the water.

[wolfking]

   He was 47 years old too.    What a dumb cunt.  That must have been some frisbee.   

[Cool Chris]

He wasn't even looking for a frisbee. He was looking for some to sell to disc golfers. Who knew a side hustle could be so deadly?

"Hey buddy, wanna buy a frisbee?"
"Um... it looks kinda... swampy."
"Naw man, just a little wear and tear!"
"No thanks, new frisbees really aren't that expensive."

And some good advice:

If you happen to lock eyes with an alligator on land, forget running in a zigzag. Run away as fast as you can in a straight line.

When running from anything threatening, who the hell runs in a zigzag? Isn't that what submarines do to throw off a tailing sub?

[bl5150]

Maybe if you're running from someone with a gun or who might have a gun.........so could be almost any situation involving a threatening human in the US.  You'd assume the alligator isn't packing though

We could tell Americans the crocs over here carry weapons......they'd probably believe it.

I skimmed the article too quick and missed he was looking for frisbees to sell.  That's outrageous! 

[TAC]

They say though that if you are being chased by a Komodo Dragon that you should run zig zag.

[wolfking]

I think they say that about snakes too because I run away from my boss like that and he's fucking bamboozled.  Dumb cunt.

How in the world is anyone supposed to run with shit in their pants?

Huh. Saw one of those at the zoo last weekend.

I've seen that one before, cool shit.  He just did what he had to do to save the dog and bossed it.
