LOL! CONGRATS! I like to see people enjoying my shark posts...

"Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks. This shark, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin', down you go."

"He said the warning was not intended to scare people."

Hey mate, just thought I might mention you're swimming with a 19' Great White Shark but don't worry about it. Sheesh! Those people down there must really be laid back.

[Fielding]

My kayak looks kinda small after this post.

I still don't know why God made sharks ... or grizzly bears.

[pcottraux]

Predators play a vital role in the ecosystem, I'm afraid.

Great White Sharks are about the most awesome and complex creatures alive on Earth. However, I would advice keeping distance.

[Flavius]

thats when spielberg was making movies

[PzLdr]

That's a shark, not a beached whale.

I'm sure they do -- I just can't cultivate an appreciation for anything which might not consider that I should be at the top of the food chain, and not somewhere in the middle :-/ LOL

[Jack Hammer]

"This was no BOATING ACCIDENT!"

Indiana Jones 4 is his next project.

Don't have any sharks in Montana, but the Griz we do have generally:

1) Eat

2) Sleep

3) Make little griz

4) Scare the crap out of a bunch of tourists who don't know any better than disturb them while they are occupied with the first three items on my list.

5) As a special treat, dine on slow tourists.

[pcottraux]

I can cultivate an appreciation for it. Appreciate in the sense that, "Wow, that creature is amazing, I'm going to stay FAR, FAR away from it!"

Appreciation = respect.

[pcottraux]

Scare the crap out of a bunch of tourists who don't know any better than disturb them while they are occupied with the first three items on my list.

That statement there, my friend, explains almost EVERY animal attack against humans. They don't consider us part of the food chain...as long as we don't bother them.

The only thing a shark is afraid of is a bigger shark
