Hoax

Experiencing a shark attack can be a harrowing experience, especially if a great white shark is involved. But now scientists have been working on tracking systems that allow officials to give early warnings if some of the most dangerous predators are lurking near the beach.

In a related report by The Inquisitr, the top 10 shark attack videos are like something out of a horror movie. But if you think those videos are crazy then you will want to check out the video about a great white shark that was swallowed and dragged down to the depths of the sea. Although the actual identity of this super predator remains a mystery it is possible the attacker was a colossal cannibal great white shark or perhaps even the Bible’s Leviathan.

So far 2014 has been littered with stories about shark attacks. For example, a shark attack in Galveston, Texas left a teen with back and shoulder bite wounds. Another teenager in Delaware suffered from a shark attack where one of the smaller creatures managed to get a hold of his arm. There was also a story of a cliff jumper in Australia running into a great white shark. Although this shark attack was supposedly caught on video it’s now claimed the whole thing was a hoax.

Drumlines

THE majority of West Australians oppose drum lines being used to catch and kill sharks off our coast.

Sixty-seven per cent of respondents to the WA Speaks survey voiced their opposition to the Barnett Government’s controversial shark mitigation policy.
Just 26 per cent of the respondents supported drum lines. Seven per cent were unsure about using baited hooks to snare big sharks.
Even among Liberal voters and supporters of Premier Colin Barnett, only 50 per cent agreed with drum lines.

Despite the survey result, Mr Barnett vowed to push ahead with a plan to seek Federal Government approval to use drum lines off Perth and the South-West for a further three years.
