Bandwidth be damned. I don't think any other news organization has published these "hi-res" photos, yet. Thanks to the folks at Mote Marine Lab http://www.mote.org/

Here's the story. BTW, the shark was pregnant.

He must feel sooo proud, catching two sharks for the price of one as well, my what a big man he must be.
Tragic.
Would still like to hear from any fish fans who can explain this to me, just what makes these muppets do this????

Cheers Jester

Not just you Jeff.
With you all the way.
I'm reminded of the top end predators in Africa. The ones that now only exist on "Game Reserves". IF we're lucky we may end up with giant aquariums with displays like "The Monsters That Used To Roam Your Oceans!"

Very moderate credit to D.J. Gebelein; at least he's planning a BBQ and not just fertilizer.

Any tips on getting people to smarten up?

Cheers Jester
