I think The Post must be attracting a lot of viewers from MU Scoop.
They have made things helpful for those of us intrigued by Animal Justice by automatically updating known animal attacks as they occur. There are so many we need to keep track of . This handy feature is quite helpful.

Wind turbines. Nothing is being milled.
Watched this Irish drama called Southwesterlies.
Their community was going to get a wind farm. The fisherman opposed it because they said the infrasound would scare the fish off.
Had to see if the drama was correct and sure enough, the wind turbine infrasound seriously mess with the fish senses.
Soooo, guess it is all a matter of the technology having various shades of green.

I don't think that's remotely odd. Plenty of mountain lions in Wyoming, Colorado, and the Dakotas. And the Nebraska town in question is right on the SD border. Not like it was roaming the Omaha suburbs.
Unfortunate cause mountain lions are awesome, but far less odd than when one found its way into the Milwaukee suburbs a few times over the last 25 years

yeah, seriously. We got a back tour of the Honolulu Zoo. We got to pet a rhino, be face to face with lions, when it came time to see the hippos, we quietly crept up to their pen in groups of 2 at a time.
They were adorable but the vet zoo was adamant that they were the most dangerous animals in the zoo. He made sure we were absolutely silent the entire time.
Orangutans were a close second in his list of danger. We were allowed to be far closer to the lions, tigers, bears and elephants than orangutans.
BTW for those going to the tournament, if you go to the Honolulu zoo, sit on the bench dedicated to Kruger near the rhino exhibit. He was a helluva rhino. Friendly and playful. Would come over to see you if you knew his name.

Ty for this info pbi. Rhinos are among the coolest animals on the planet. And definitely underappreciated. Baby Rhinos behave exactly like puppies when they are orphaned and under loving human care. They and elephants have wrongfully suffered and it's beyond unacceptable.
Now they do have poor eyesight so occasionally they take out a truck that scares them but in general they are calm, cool, and collective. When they are panic mode they are living tanks as they can run 35 mph at 4000 lbs, but truthfully they are not vindictive. If they were they would smash villages regularly with immense force and power.

Yeah their natural range includes all of the lower 48 states and their populations were hunted to extinction in most of the eastern states. Would makes sense they'd slowly move east since they're territorial and are capable of traversing long distances. There's plenty of deer for them to eat that's for damn sure.

Is this the weirdest rule in sports?
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Iditarod officials on Wednesday imposed a two-hour time penalty on musher Dallas Seavey for not properly gutting the moose he killed during the race earlier this week.
Race marshal Warren Palfrey convened a three-person panel of race officials to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the moose, which became tangled up with Seavey and his dog team early Monday, about 12 hours after the dayslong race officially started. One dog was injured in the encounter and flown back to Anchorage for care.
If a musher kills a big game animal like a moose, caribou or buffalo in defense of life or property during the race, rules require they gut the animal and report it to officials at the next checkpoint.

just another way to burn off the every day stresses of college life, I guess. I doubt however, they and their activities had anything to do with moose abuse though-they had to draw the line somewhere... ;D

A sailing yacht has sunk in Moroccan waters in the Strait of Gibraltar after being rammed by an unknown number of orcas, Spain's maritime rescue services said.
Two people onboard the vessel, Alboran Cognac, were rescued by a passing oil tanker, after the incident at 0900 local time (0800 BST) on Sunday.

We need a five-point plan for dealing with these terrorists.
A sailing yacht has sunk in Moroccan waters in the Strait of Gibraltar after being rammed by an unknown number of orcas, Spain's maritime rescue services said.
Two people onboard the vessel, Alboran Cognac, were rescued by a passing oil tanker, after the incident at 0900 local time (0800 BST) on Sunday.

I've discussed the Gibraltar Orcas in depth before. They're angry for some reason. This is a behavior they very rarely exhibit. Do not lump them in with scumbag terrorists. They have their reasons and we should try to figure our their concerns beyond global warming.

Anger is not an excuse to cause mass destruction unprovoked.
They need a few spears to send a message

The Gibraltar Orcas have been warning people for months. Again, they're mad about something. We should tread lightly and see if we can figure out their needs.
Meanwhile, I'm extremely unhappy with the Japanese government. They are going to hunt Fin Whales, our 2nd largest animal on the planet. Totally inexcusable and homicidal behavior. The rapacity and pure evil of many human beings continues to anger and disgust me. Look at the 1900 populations of our beautiful animals compared to now. Why??? WTF did they do to us?? It's a stain on the human race that I will never get over or understand. Leave our endangered species alone and let them thrive.

You're the guy on the Israel topic wondering why everyone is making a big deal over the killing of Gazans. But you're here calling whale-killings "homicides."
Of course, experts from the organization Wild Orca who study orca behavior do not know what they are talking about, because they have not correctly identified the cause of the orcas' behavior as Scoop's self-appointed authority has, but just for fun...here is an excerpt from a Scientific American article which quotes them:
"The safe rescue of everyone involved, however, suggests to Deborah Giles that these orcas don't have malevolent motivations against humans. Giles, science and research director of the Washington State–based nonprofit conservation organization Wild Orca, points out that humans relentlessly harassed killer whales off the coasts of Washington and Oregon in the 1960s and 1970s, capturing young orcas and taking them away for display at marine parks. "These are animals that, every single one of them, had been captured at one point or another—most whales multiple times. And these are whales that saw their babies being taken away from them and put on trucks and driven away, never to be seen again," Giles says. "And yet these whales never attacked boats, never attacked humans."
The above is obviously not true as it does not address the anger of the orcas as Scoop's authority on their behavior has irrefutably stated as the cause.

"Overall the incidents have mostly involved juveniles, who are "more playful and courageous in approaching boats," said Zerbini, who also chairs the International Whaling Commission's scientific committee.
He imagines a young orca butted its head against a boat's rudder one time and when it moved the orca thought, "This is fun." After ramming it a few times, a piece of the rudder broke off and that was even more fun because there was something to play with.
"There's documented evidence of the orcas then playing with the pieces," he said.
There was no evidence that the attacks are being led by older female orcas in revenge for a boat harming a young whale, as has been suggested at times, the group said. The notion took the Internet by storm in 2023, with "Sink the rich" mugs and t-shirts featuring killer whales on them proliferating.
"That's probably based on people watching Hollywood movies," Zerbini said. [Ed: They mean Muggsy]

Further proving my theory, orcas are stupid
Yeah I think we all know Muggs is delusional and biased against humans.
Most times animals cause havoc comes down to them being big and stupid.
They don't know what else to say. If the young Orcas were just messing around it's still a warning.
But sadly a Moose took out a poor guy in Alaska. He tried to get a pic of her calf and it ended poorly. It waa foggy and he just didn't realize he was way too close.

Too bad the woman who an alligator in Florida chomped in half did not have such a powerful swat. The gator was killed because he was caught with half of her in his jaws.

That's a false synopsis of what I wrote and I'm sure you can find the thread. I simply asked if there was an investigation. I never stated the woman "had it coming". I was just wondering what happened and whether the alligator needed to be put down.

Of course you did not say she had it coming. I think just about anyone here (other than you) would be able to understand that it was my take on your attitude after refusing to express regret regarding the woman's death, despite at least two other scoopers besides me trying to get you to do. Didn't the title of your thread ask if the alligator was "provoked"? You can find the thread yourself. Pretty sure there was something about calling for a "thorough investigation".

Your focus should be on getting Whale Sharks out of aquariums where they die way too young. They have ZERO business being in captivity. These are gentle giants and quite friendly, with good hearts. They can live to 100 in the wild. I somewhat understand people's vindictiveness towards other sharks but whale sharks are special and must be protected.

Yep. They will take a bite out of a human on a boogie board because they think it's a seal, even though their super duper sense of smell tells them it's not a seal.
Plus they get swept up way too easily into tornados. They obviously are too stupid to shelter in a safe place.

"He goes, I say, what would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you're in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there," he continued. "By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. Do you notice that?"
"A lot of sharks," Trump told his crowd of supporters. "I watched some guys justifying it today. Well, they weren't really that angry. They bit off the young lady's leg because of the fact that they were they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what, who she was."
"These people are quick," he continued. "He said there's no problem with sharks. They just didn't really understand a young woman swimming now really got decimated and other people to a lot of shark attacks."
"I said, so there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here," Trump said. "Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking? Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?"
"Because I will tell you, he didn't know the answer," the Stable Genius said. "He said, you know, nobody's ever asked me that question. I said, I think it's a good question."
"I think there's a lot of electric current coming through that water," he added. "But you know what I do? If there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time. I'm not getting near the shark."

"A lot of sharks," Trump told his crowd of supporters. "I watched some guys justifying it today. Well, they weren't really that angry. They bit off the young lady's leg because of the fact that they were they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what, who she was."
"These people are quick," he continued. "He said there's no problem with sharks. They just didn't really understand a young woman swimming now really got decimated and other people to a lot of shark attacks."
"I said, so there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here," Trump said. "Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking? Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?"
"Because I will tell you, he didn't know the answer," the Stable Genius said. "He said, you know, nobody's ever asked me that question. I said, I think it's a good question."
"I think there's a lot of electric current coming through that water," he added. "But you know what I do? If there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time. I'm not getting near the shark."
And this wasn't even close to the most demented thing that Dementia Don said at this rally.

Couldn't agree more. And the world will never be free if we don't respect our wonderful members of the animal kingdom. Some of the disparaging of the shark population has crossed the line. And Makos are smarter than people think. It's also my opinion that if you can swim close to 65mph, you're allowed a little leeway in general.

Elephants killing tourists in Zambia.
The elephants or the tourists?
The Zambian elephants have suffered incalcuable trauma far beyond our comprehension. This incident is being investigated and condolences to the human family. That said, elephants almost never mindlessly attack humans or flip over cars unless they feel threatened. Now, maybe this particular elephant had a false perception, but it's important to let the facts come out.

Interesting conundrum in Florida.
If an alligator enters your property and threatens your well being, you have to call a Florida Department of Conservation officer to remove it/dispose of it.
To do otherwise is a Class C felony that could get you sent to the pokey for quite awhile.
But if a human being enters your property and threatens your well-being, under Florida's stand your ground laws, it's perfectly OK to deal with the matter yourself.
I guess this exists because we still have more people than alligators in Florida (but the margin is closing fast).

Brother dgies,
I think it's important to make a distinction between alligator encounters/attacks on one's property, vs human encounters/attacks on one's property. I would imagine authorities are usually called before the alligator starts and ends the confrontation. This was tragic and very unfortunate. That said, I do think if you need to protect yourself, you should be allowed to without going to prison. Perhaps Floridians should be required to have stun guns capable of subduing the gators before authorities arrive.
Alligators are unaware of their physical dominance brother dgies, and can be eating machines. This isn't exactly the same thing as a human looking for trouble while entering another's property. I'm not saying this isn't a problem but we need to come up with more humane and creative solutions.

I was being sarcastic by quoting words that Muggsy has used in posts but agree with your reply. In a Muggsy thread ,asking if an alligator that chomped a woman in half was possibly "provoked", a couple of other scoopers and I pointed out that he was silent regarding the loss of a human life. He was absolutely defiant, asking where the "rule" was that he needed to address the death of a human. He demanded a "thorough investigation" into the decision to kill the alligator though.
This was the turning point for me. Ever since, I make it a point to be a thorn in Muggsy's side.

Doesn't sound like that bear became tame.
I've rescued a few dogs, kept a couple and got others adopted. Rescued a 4 year old Doberman, had for about 3 months. I loved the guy, a big baby until he wasn't. He went after me, it was pretty f'ing scary. Torn the shyte out of my arm and side.. I'm mad that it happened, he had been abused before I got him, no idea what set him off. I've gone over it a thousand times..Animal attacks=no fun!!
My daughter has a similar story. Rescued a dog. Things were going great. Unprovoked, it attacked her and bit her face. She is fortunate the scars are barely noticeable.

Are bears going soft? Pretty embearassing to be taken out by a 72-year-old berry-picker.
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A 72-year-old man picking huckleberries in Montana shot and killed a grizzly bear after it attacked in a surprise encounter and injured him badly enough that he had to be hospitalized, authorities said Friday.
The man was alone on national forest land when the adult female charged him Thursday. He suffered significant injuries before killing the bear with a handgun, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials said.

The man was alone on national forest land when the adult female charged him Thursday. He suffered significant injuries before killing the bear with a handgun, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials said.

It was an unfortunate incident and an accident. It's extremely uncommon for a 🐋 to breach and end the life/functionality of a boat. What we do know is they are extremely intelligent and vital members of the animal kingdom. Stop disparaging our tremendous marine mammals and the whale populations at large.

Doesn't seem smart if it can't see a boat above it while it's moving to breach. Terrible depth perception at best, likely just dumb.

This is an unfair characterization. It's highly, highly, unusual for a Humpback 🐋 to breach on a boat. It may have been in the midst of feeding and became unaware of its surroundings. Or it may be a blind 🐋, we simply do not know. My guess is, it was a similar situation to when a Newfoundland or St.Bernard takes out a couch accidentally. Whales should not be ridiculed for their size and power. It was unfortunate but besmirchimg them is flat out wrong and unacceptable.

You've provided an example in one sentence of the hubris and disintegration of the human race. And keep in mind what a humpback whale could do to boats (with passengers) if he/she was vindictive. They're among the kindest members of the entire animal kingdom. If they had my personality, and held grudges, we would see an elimination of a myriad of vessels. The fact that they don't do that further illustrates their great intelligence and caring hearts.

So to defend a couple of moronic whales, you've basically said your temperament makes you want to commit terroristic destruction on humans. Think we gotta have ole mugs look in the mirror at this disintegration of the human race.

This applies to smaller wild animals as well. As very likable as my BIL Rich is, he has a history of umm...not being very bright around wild animals. My sister has repeatedly told him to
leave the animals alone over the years. One day Rich is taking his morning walk with his favorite coffee mug in hand and wearing brand new slacks. He sees a Canadian Goose (most likely guarding a nearby nest) and mimics it's sound. The goose is immediately aloft and dive bombs Rich repeatedly. He tries to run away but stumbles and falls. The goose continues it's attack before finally letting him go.
He arrives home and, foolishly expecting sympathy, tells my sister about the ass-kicking the goose gave him and that he broke his favorite mug and tore his new slacks. Of course, she is not sympathetic and repeats her warning to
leave the animals alone.This past winter, quite a few Canadian Geese landed in their back yard one day. She took a photo on her phone and sent it to me with the message " Look who's here, waiting for Rich to come out and play."

This is the last part of an article about another sailboat attacked by orcas. It will probably be waived off as just the opinion of someone who simply does not understand that the orcas off the Iberian Peninsula are definitely sending us a message, but......
Marine biologist Alex Zerbini, chair of the scientific committee at the International Whaling Commission (IWC), told the Washington Post that there is "nothing in the behaviour of the animals that suggests that they're being aggressive".
"As they play with the rudder, they don't understand that they can damage the rudder and that damaging the rudder will affect human beings. It's more playful than intentional," he added.
Nice try, but obviously Zerbini is totally clueless.

Both moms and dads go through months of starvation to take care of their precious babies. Now, I understand this one looks like it ate a couple of loaves of bread and some milkshakes, but we don't know all of the circumstances.

They live in a cutthroat world. It's unfortunate for sure that egg swipes are tried constantly. We're talking 30 sec situations when a Papa Emperor could lose his egg on the ice either from insane cold or poaching out of desperation. They must protect these eggs until Mamma Emperor comes back. But it's very difficult and tragedies do occur Tower. There is no such thing as a bad Emperor Penguin.

Good point. How about if Marquette's engineering students create a drone/golden eagle with a carcass that soars through the Fiserv and that could be directed to dive at opposing coaches? We saw Cooley's reaction to a little bat at the Bradley Center. Imagine Hurley running for cover as the eagle comes within an inch of his noggin. The eagle could also fly right in front of the post just as opponents release the ball on FT attempts. I think we would get called for a T if the eagle flew over the court, but maybe it could buzz the opponent's bench.
Edit: He needs a name. Jacques? Spike?

Like other animals that attack humans-bears, river otters, mountain lions, and alligators, they should be "taken out". Regardless of the reasons for the attacks-being "provoked" like Muggsy immediately suggested after an alligator chomped a woman in half, or idiots who try to get in close for a photo of those oh-so-cute cubs, the animals that attack are now at risk of being repeat offenders. I still cannot believe that Muggsy was still questioning why that gator had to be put down. I mean, is there an alligator behavioral rehabilitation center somewhere? Jeezus! The same guy continued to float his theory repeatedly that orcas were attacking sailboats to send us a message, even though experts who actually know something about the orcas' behavior came up with theories actually based on knowledge. Imagine that!
So exactly what is unfortunate? I poised that question to Muggsy regarding the mountain lion attack on the young boy and asked him, if saying both the attack on the boy and the killing of the lion were unfortunate, which one was more unfortunate. He never answered.

Is it bad when a presidential ticket gins up a baseless, racist rumor? Is that bad? When the Vice-Presidential candidate is told the rumor is false, and he tells his followers to keep repeating it anyway, is that bad?
And when the Presidential candidate does just that, keeps repeating the racist lie despite being informed its false, is that bad? And when that inspires their followers to call in a terroristic bomb threat to an elementary school, is that bad?
Certainly this isn't enough to disqualify them from even running, is it? 'Cause, you know, who can even say if this is bad or not?
Not as bad as a presidential ticket lying about how a young child was killed in the same community, even though the father of that child has asked repeatedly for them to stop lying.

Is it bad when the baseless, racist rumors you amplify have real-world consequences?
Two Springfield City School District elementary schools were evacuated and a middle school was closed Friday morning after threats against the buildings were made, according to school officials.
Friday marks the second day in a row that Springfield public school students were evacuated after the city gained national attention for unfounded right-wing rumors about the community's Haitian immigrant population.
On Thursday, Springfield City Hall and Fulton Elementary School were evacuated after bomb threats were sent to multiple city facilities, officials said. Every Clark County building was also closed Thursday out of "an abundance of caution," county officials said.
Thursday's evacuation of Fulton Elementary School was based on information received from the state fire marshal, school officials said.
A copy of Thursday's bomb threat acquired by the USA Today Network disparaged Springfield's Haitian community and referenced false claims, spread by prominent conservative figures like former president Donald Trump, that immigrants were eating pets and wildlife.https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2024/09/13/two-springfield-schools-evacuated-one-closed-after-police-warning/75204532007/

Years ago, Mike Royko wrote a column for the Sun-Times about how things were done in Springfield, IL -- bribery!
A couple of weeks later, women who supported ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment actually tried to bribe an Illinois legislature, taking Mr. Royko's advice to heart.
Should Mr. Royko have been indicted for conspiracy to commit bribery? Of course not (even thought my Dad thought so)!
Same here. If someone is stupid enough to phone in or otherwise make a threat against a public school, it's their stupidity. A political candidate can say something stupid but if he or she doesn't commit the act, or openly conspire to encourage someone to do it, it aint their fault.
Period.

I didn't say that either.
Last time I checked, the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America didn't have a stupidity limitation.
I also learned in Roman Catholic schools that God gave us all a free will. We were give logic and insight to guide us. Both are part of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.

About half of one of her ears was chewed off and she was airlifted to the hospital for treatment of other injuries.
So, the otter overreacted, huh? Really "unfortunate", don't you think? Let the little guy go. He realizes his error and is truly sorry for what he did.

And another stupid bear bringing claws to a gunfight.
A 12-year-old Wisconsin boy heroically shot and killed a 200-pound black bear that was mauling his dad while pinning him to the ground.
Owen Beierman shot the bear in its vitals, saving his 43-year-old dad, Ryan Beierman, as he was being bitten in the face in the attack in woods near the family's western Wisconsin cabin, the dad told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Got a
lot of them out here in our rural county. Mostly hounds who are the friendliest, laid-back breed group that there is. Except for rabbits hiding from Beagles, no one is afraid of them. Beagles go into an entirely different level of consciousness (or whatever the Hell it is) the moment they spot a rabbit. Over 500 years of breeding for that characteristic will do that.

Trying to frame an innocent Bear for vandalism.
SMDH
Four individuals in Los Angeles were arrested on Wednesday and charged with insurance fraud after claiming that a bear had damaged their cars, when the bear in question was actually just a person dressed in a bear costume.
The California department of insurance said that the suspects filed a claim in January of this year, stating that a bear entered their 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost while it was parked at Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino mountains and caused interior damage to the vehicle.
The suspects submitted a video to the insurance company, which showed the alleged "bear" inside the vehicle.
However, upon further scrutiny of the footage, "the investigation determined the bear was actually a person in a bear costume", the insurance department said in a statement.

You're missing the point as usual. And there's only one human that has been able to be in close quarters with a polar bear. All I said is that they are not to be trifled with scoop. In fact, I have mentioned many times that National Geographic put some poor guy with a camera in a "impenetrable cage" to film a polar bear and he very nearly was taken out within 5 mins. The little photo session abruptly stopped when the producers realized that this steel cage was vulnerable to the bear and its insane force and power.
As an aside, if 100 NFL lineman tried to fk with a polar bear, without weapons of any kind, they would be in worse shape than the poor guy who witnessed the cop being murdered in Fargo. You do not mess with a polar bear. It's that simple.

Baby seal rescued in New Haven is being rehabilitated at Mystic Aquarium
By Joseph Tucci,

Feb 18, 2025
A baby seal recently rescued in New Haven is on the road to recovery, according to officials at Mystic Aquarium.
According to a news release from the aquarium, the gray seal, which is estimated to be only a few weeks old, wandered from a beach onto Chapel Street on Sunday. Officers were called to the scene and staff from the Mystic Aquarium, as well as from Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, came to assist the seal and he was transported to the Mystic Aquarium's Animal Rescue Clinic. The clinic aims to help wild marine animals, such as seals and sea turtles, who are injured or sick be rehabilitated.

This is beyond a sad situation. These sea lions are suffering.
Less than sympathetic for these fish thieves who I have to race to retrieve my catch before one of them snatches it. Have been chased off of schools of yellowtail because of theses rogues only to locate another spot and watch them racing after us to reengage

Could be worse. There are spots off the Atlantic Coast of Florida that are borderline unfishable because shark tourism boats chum the water so much. Thus there are thousands of eager sharks expecting meals and they snatch almost anything of note off of deep sea fishing lines.
Muggs will jump into that water and introduce those sharks to darkness.

The Muggs I know is far more likely to push the fishermen and "shark tourism" people out of their boats so that the
sharks could introduce
them to darkness.

Sharks have been disparaged and misunderstood for quite some time. Since 1975 to be exact. I get it, but they're essential to maintaining healthy seas. I'm not suggesting they understand they've been vilified, and falsely characterized, but I wouldn't fk with them regardless. :)

I'm trying to think of another broad animal type where the overarching category is characterized as scary and dangerous, but only a few are truly worth worrying about (snakes maybe?).
Obviously Great Whites are the T Rex of the shark world, but contrary to Jaws lore, they aren't picking people off the beach. Bull sharks are nasty vicious mofos, made even worse by their ability/tendency to tolerate fresh/brackish water which lets them into rivers and estuaries to F stuff up. But otherwise the majority of them are anywhere from harmless to terrified of people.
Ive snorkeled near 4-5 different species of sharks and its absolutely surreal. You get almost this visceral fear, not panic or terror, but like your body is programmed to recognize the apex predator of the setting accordingly. Then you settle into this kind of wonder watching them silently glide.
You always hear stories about situations where people say they forgot time existed, and usually its a hindset addition. But on my honeymoon in the Maldives, I came across 5 blacktip reef sharks at the drop off from the shallows on our atoll. They were swimming in this back and forth pattern from about 10-15 in front of me, then out just past the sightline, then back in and around. I remember just floating and watching them, occasionally hearing my breathing, but just mesmerized. Eventually my wife swam out and grabbed me and said she'd been calling me, and I'd been in the same spot watching them for 35 min and it had felt like 5. It was one of the coolest things Ive ever experienced.
Fun fact...most shark bites are the equivalent of you reaching out to touch something to see what it is.

Excellent points JWags. I havd been beyond fortunate to dive at various locations surrounded by hammerheads, tiger, bull, and blacktip sharks. Makos have also zoomed with incomprehensible speed within my vicinity. The only words I can use to describe it is awe and euphoria. Incredible members of our animal kingdom. And you're 100% correct, they do not aimlessly or viciously attack. My fear the first time was certainly there , but within minutes I was absolutely mesmerized.
Wags: Jaws was real, and you know it. Jeesh!
I wonder where Deep Blue is hanging these days? Last known sighting was off the coast of Oahu in 2019. Hopefully she's okay.

Jaws is a great film, but was about as accurate as Batman.
Wait? What are you trying to say about Batman?

Sharks are dumb cowards

They're not geniuses, but are vital to the health of our oceans. Besmirching them is another stain on the human race.

Batman is a joke and a complete disgrace to our mighty bat population. Our land ecosystems depend on bats a lot, and they should be deeply admired and respected. Fk Batman.

Or not. That would end very badly for that fraud.
I've never cared for "superheroes". The fact that most humans drool and drivel over them is further evidence of our severe issues as a race. And I couldn't stand them as a young tyke.

Not sure why this is even a debate. The Batman movie from 1966 showed how it would go down.

It's part of a grand plan that you simply lack the foresight to understand:
No bees ---> everything pollinated by hand ---> FULL EMPLOYMENT~!
