If you're a shark and see a bunch of great big fat blubbery animals above you and you think "Mmm! Delicious seals and sea lions" and then see a really slow, splashy great big fat blubbery animal that you think has no chance of getting away, which do you choose to eat first? If I am in the water I am the Great White's number one target. There is no risk, little effort, and a lot of tasty fatty calories.

Even you don't have enough blubber for a great white.

It might consider pale white Western food a little too bland, with any luck.

So, as you quite correctly point out it was miles away in the sea where it should be - and not in Aldi's car park.

What a bizarre story. "Shark lives in ocean!"
In other news, we are receiving reports that there a rabbit has been spotted in France.

a bear has been seen defecating in a wood and in Vatican City the Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the State of Vatican City has been wearing a funny hat.

Thinking of the former part of that sentence, a friend of mine has a cabin/small house near Lake Tahoe in the California Sierras. He went up there last weekend and found that a bear had ripped open the door, open all the cupboards and the fridge, eaten most of it, trashed the entire place, and - indeed - shat all over everything.

lucky there hadn't been three bears and one was still asleep in the bed that was 'just right'.

I was walking the dog the other evening and rounded a bend in the trail to find a bear just standing there looking at me, the dog went nuts, but the bear was not the least bit impressed or phased and calmly walked into the woods.

Did your dog chase the bear?

I read something once about coyotes. Apparently they've been known to use a single coyote to lure a dog off into the woods with promises of play or sex (apparently) but there's a pack of coyotes waiting in ambush who then kill and eat the dog. I think it was highly disputed if it really happens but some people seemed to believe it does.

I don't think coyotes are pack animals, are they? All of this sounds an awful lot like the beginning of a plea which ends "And that, your honour, is why I was naked and covered in scratches in the woods".

Dunno but they definitely do pairs. Two coyotes killed a hiker in Nova Scotia a few years ago. I don't know if they were a mated pair or they'd just teamed up.
