Over the weekend in Florida a young girl was killed in a shark attack by what appears to have been a Bull Shark (Carcharhinus Leucas) and they closed the beach for a day to give the shark time to move off…but lo and behold, they were talking about it on the radio today and apparently when they went to open the beach again, someone got a photo from a nearby condominium taken over the heads of folks waiting to go in the water…of the shark swimming along the same stretch of beach!! Almost like it was claiming it’s territory! According to the radio it is actually a heck of a photograph, they say you can see the shark’s eyes in the photo…I shall endeavour to dig it up from the Rocky Mountain News today (maybe you guys can look online and see if you find it….http://www.rockymountainnews.com) and I’ll see if I find it and scan it in for you today…

Another Shark attack today it was about 60 mile down from the last attack the boys is in critical coundition. It seems to be another Bull Shark.

Ok, the photo in the paper, while interesting, was’nt what I thought it’d be, so I won’t bother scanning it….suffice it to say there are a bunch of folks on the beach looking out to sea at a shark swimming about 30 yards away in VERY clear water, and it is identified as a 6 foot Bull shark, slightly smaller than the one that attacked the girl on the weekend….good photo, though, shot by a guy from the balcony of his residence overlooking the beach, and apparently he shot a bunch of pics here lately of these sharks cruising past. Like having your own outdoor aquarium, really…
