"Fascinating.....the ocean truly is a mysterious place to venture as one never truly knows what is lurking underneath it does not necessarily have to be a shark etc as there are many other types off sea animals which are dangerous.. Over time who knows with climate change there could be a migration off different species wondering around in British waters which have not ventured there before?... Would be awesome though if you could have a pet great white shark just imagine the kind off adventures you could get up to or the tricks you could teach it.... or if one was a little more sinister/evil minded like myself they could even make it devour their enemies ...*proceeds to do a loud evil laugh* | |||

So why did the experts evacuate the beach ?"This is why it's fake news: "ISAF confirmed 57 unprovoked shark bites on humans and 39 provoked bites. Unprovoked attacks” are defined as incidents in which an attack on a live human occurs in the shark's natural habitat with no human provocation of the shark." This is worldwide annually, as I said fake news  | |||

"These are the comments that I expect from people who disregard their own safety and insist on swimming in the sea even when beaches are closed.. At you peril people, At your peril Tom, do you know how rare it is to be hurt by a shark? Have you seen the statistics? I've swum with sharks and they had plenty of chances to bite me, but didn't. What type of sharks and where? Caribbean reef sharks. It was awesome "That is ace! Was it diving with them or just swimming? | |||

"More fake news!
It's all over the news .
So why did the experts evacuate the beach ?"I was physically on the beach on the day in question and live 10 mins walk away. No evacuation happened. We were asked to remain on the beach for half hour while lifeguards took a jetski out to investigate. Local experts have said it was almost certainly a basking shark as they are residents in UK waters all year round and do come close to shore to feed occasionally. Your more likely to get struck by lightning than be attacked by a shark. Especially one like the basking shark that only eats plankton. | |||

"I heard sharks in UK waters only consume humans who name themselves after southern counties of England. More frequently, those beginning with 'e'...... Not true...the list of dangerous sharks in UK waters is even longer than I feared" It's true. I read it in a book entitled "The Geographical Proclivities of Sharks in UK Waters." I found it in the restricted section of the library, next to "Why Rats Have Image Problems" and "Crocodiles: Who Scares, Wins" | |||

"One thing is certain to me... This beast may return... And if it does and feasts on a local then the so called experts will cry... I thought it was a backing shark... Morons " Basking sharks will never "feast on a local". They are filter feeders. They have no teeth. Plus I don't see why you are even causing such a drama out of a tiny event. Sharks have been on this earth for millions of years and hopefully will be for millions more. It's keyboard warriors like you that help create and maintain the idiotic stereotype that all sharks are just mindless killing machines. Until this little bit of news, did you even know there were sharks in UK waters? Well, in fact out of the 400 or so known species of shark that are in the earth's oceans, 21 of those species are native year round to UK waters. Plus there hasn't been any unprovoked shark attacks in British waters since 1847. | |||

"Local experts who never saw the beast... Would not trust those idiots..." Coming from the guy who read the word "shark" in a news article and automatically starts voicing the stereotype that all sharks are dangerous despite having know knowledge of sharks other than what he knows from a work of fiction. | |||

The Mako is definitely a man eater. How far off the beach was this predator.."Couple of miles. It's apparently not unheard of, they're said to follow trawlers - makes sense I suppose. "Where did you get your lunch, Bob?" "Fell of the back of a boat." | |||

"If the Mako shark is now in our waters then the beach guards need staffing, the flags need watching and the beachgoers need to react " The short fin mako is one of the all year round resident sharks in UK waters. Where does it say makos are man eaters? They are on the endangered species list due to over fishing and are scarcely seen nor do they venture close to shore. Honestly the film deep blue sea was awful lol | |||
