Yeah. The Farallon islands which are famously swamped with Great Whites just off the mouth of SF Bay are like 12C right now in the middle of summer.
Also famous for its shark attacks is the stuff off Cape Town, on the Atlantic - cold current - side.

Lower body fat, smaller lungs. Is that right? I thought it was about bone density but I am prepared to defer to your knowledge Not sure about the bone density. I think the body fat is a tendency rather that a rule. Smaller lungs are definitely a thing due to proportionately longer legs hence shorter torsos. |

Well, I never knew that. Every day's a school day.

Lower body fat, smaller lungs. I'm sure van will weigh in on this. |

Laziness has got to have some influence on buoyancy, surely?

Seen from below, white people look like fish with their lighter undersides.
Sharks see black people and they think it's some weird upside-down swimming creature and stay away. All very scientific, you see.

A pregnant woman dived into the sea in the Florida Keys to save her husband from an attacking shark. Police said Andrew Charles Eddy, 30, was snorkelling on Sombrero Reef but was bitten by the shark almost immediately after entering the water. His wife, Margot Dukes-Eddy, saw the shark's dorsal fin and her husband's blood filling the water, and dived in "without hesitation", officials said. After she had pulled Mr Eddy to safety, other family members called 911. He was airlifted to a trauma centre in Miami on Sunday where he was treated for severe shoulder injuries. www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54280694brave girl. |

All sharks. Best avoided. Nobody in their right mind goes in an ocean where sharks live.

Why was that particular shark labled a 'Killer' ? It just cruised passed and didn't attack anyone. Bloody Newspapers !  because it's a predator. |

Bobbing around and bleeding out while waiting to see if the f**k*r's going to come back to finish you off.
they always finish the job.
First fatal attack on the Gold Coast for 60 years. That was surprising.
and probably 100 sharks will have to be killed for it. like a rare bear attack on land. if a bear kills or injures someone, the woods are filled with people killing every bear within fifty miles/80 km.

I had a narrow escape when I walked past a Romanian beggar and he didn't pick my pocket.

This headline actually made me laugh out loud “ How common is it for walkers to be killed by cows?” Edit: Ok I take it back - I had not realised cows are pretty fast! I was today years old when I learned that. skyaboveus.com/climbing-hiking/How-to-scare-cows-to-avoid-being-trampled-to-death“ Don't Try to Outrun Cows Cows take a while to pick up their speed, but when they do and they're galloping they can be pretty fast. Therefore only try to run away from cows if there is a short distance to the nearest exit, usually less than 20 metres. In short, judge the distance and speed and if you can get out of the field before the cows catch up then go for it. If not, then the cows will probably catch up and surround you.” |

i suspect more walkers eat cows than cows eat walkers.

How could you think that people would be able to outrun cows?
