Sharks (and all things oceany)

For a short period, as a child, I refused to have a bath, as I thought box jellyfish would come out of the plug hole.

 

I still hate them, fucking snides of the sea.

We only get Portuguese Man of Wars over here which are not even classified as jellyfish,Siphonophores actually.

When it comes to box jellyfish, Irukandji are real bastards.

Do Americans call them jellofish or do they just think they are made out of jam?

Stingy things to be avoided.

Even the Fonz can't pull off a leather jacket with short shorts.

Yeah I love this. If ever I fancy a dip in the sea I know where i'm safe. 

 

Norris is my favourite. Female Hammerhead Shark. Currently loitering pretty close to the Carolina/Florida coast.

That's boss. The White sharks love hovering along the coastline. Proper Jaws stuff.

Yeah seems like quite a few are hungry for some human right now. 

 

Love this thread.

Its quite surprising that a number of White Sharks are still so far north as winter approaches. Watched a fair few programmes on the Atlantic Great Whites and they thought they travelled north to Massachusetts etc in the summer & went south to the Florida & the gulf in winter

The Western Australia Surf Life Savers' Twitter feed is quite revealing...

 

Anyone fancy a dip?

There is currently a White Shark named George not too far off the coast of Nova Scotia and on around the same latitude as the North Coast of Northern Ireland. I hope he's brought a nice thick jumper.
