I've never come close to one....well not that I know of. See plenty of stingrays where i live but no sharks so far and I would like it to stay that way.

I heard there were a bunch of Great Whites up northern Australia maybe out to shore farther. No expert all I got is a ball bat to bust them over the head. I think Doug Steele has caught a few.

No I do one better. I sit in the pools of water that the big stingrays leave. First I dip my big toe in to see if a stingray is hiding underneath the sand

True, I will continue to play with the stingrays and crush spiders in my fingers and throw baby snakes back into the garden that I find in my kitchen. Just another day down unda ;D

Snakes in kitchen? Serious you seen that. So tell us about that spider that sits under the toliet seat that if bites your ass it will kill you when I was there I was warned about that so found it difficult to take a shit without fear.

My fearless kitten brings baby snakes and lizards into the kitchen all the time. When I see a live one I put it outside in the garden. The dead ones I put in the rubbish bin. I think its the out back toilets that have that spider under the toilet seat and snake wrapped around the inside of the bowl. Which is why its safer to just go to the toilet in the bush and not use any outback loos.

I saw a movie where a girl got her arm eaten by a shark.
She became a famous surfer who moves her mouth weird when she talks. Never got her arm back though.

Just wondering why there is this ground swell of glee when "shark week" comes around. I mean, sharks havent changed in hundreds of thousands of years, yet each new season brings on something worth sitting down and watching?

Are there alot of Abo's in your area? I remember seeing them around the outskirts of Sydney, I didn't know what to think of them Australia's first people as I understand they are a bit outcast from society there.

They like the heat so the further north you go the more aborigines. I think there are alot in Darwin. I see them here but because its so multicultural I see just as many other races.

I think it must be good karma. That's what I put it down to Mr Nobody. I am very kind to animals and all creatures. I have stood on snakes while walking, swam in an infested ocean full of box jellyfish and swim in non netted beaches all the time and nothing happens to me. For years I peed in the ocean and never realised that the scent attracted sharks. I have got up close to a goanna which can tear your arm off and I kissed a dingo on its nose too.

I actually swim with an M16A2 rifle all the time. Attached to the barrel is an Ontario OKC 3S bayonet. Sharks are scared shitless when they see me coming.

I've had a few encounters and they've been mostly while spearfishing. A few sand sharks and one smallish (6') tiger shark. I've had to poke a small 3' sand shark twice with my spear gun as he wouldn't leave me alone and was trying to go after my fish on the stringer. Most sharks will turn around and swim away.
The biggest shark I've seen is a hammerhead and he was at least 12' and was playing around with half of what looked like a 100lb tarpon. I couldn't imagine being in the water with that shark. It was a surreal moment watching him swim around the boat and not scared at all.

World’s Unluckiest Man Gets Attacked by a Shark
They say lightning never strikes the same place twice, and your odds of winning last night’s Powerball were about 1 in 175 million. Tell that to the guy who was just bit by a shark after surviving both a lightning strike and an encounter with a rattlesnake!
Erik Norrie was snorkeling and spear fishing in the Bahamas with his family when a shark suddenly bit his leg, tearing out a chunk and leaving a pool of Norrie’s blood in the water. “You could see a piece of my leg in his mouth,” said Norrie.
Norrie’s quick thinking, and brave, father-in-law jumped into the water and got between Norrie and the shark, protecting him from another attack. Meanwhile, his wife and four daughters pulled him to safety aboard the boat and quickly fashioned a tourniquet out of the bands of the spear gun.
Norrie described the terrifying experience, saying that he truly thought he was going to die. “I didn’t keep my head cool. The Lord kept my head cool because I couldn’t have done it without Him,” he said.
Doctors believe Norrie’s leg will heal.

‘Turducken’ of the sea–scientists off Delaware catch shark within a shark
In a bizarre capture, bait is attacked by 3-foot shark, which is then 'completely swallowed' by a large sand tiger shark
August 14, 2013 by Pete Thomas
Researchers at the University of Delaware set out recently in the hope of recapturing tagged sand tiger sharks. They enticed a large female but it was the bizarre manner by which they captured the predator that left them shaking their heads in disbelief.
After casting a small fish called a menhaden, a small shark called a dogfish was quick to snatch the bait, only to be swallowed by the much larger sand tiger shark. “The dogfish was about 3 feet long and completely swallowed by the sand tiger shark,” states a post on the university’s ORB Lab Facebook page.
The researchers had captured a shark within a shark, which prompted Aaron Martens to comment: “There’s gotta be some kind of ‘turducken‘ label for this kind of situation.”
The ORB Lab is short for Ocean Exploration, Remote Sensing, Biogeography Lab.
Scientists are trying to recapture tagged sharks, or tags that have popped off of sharks, to compile data for study.
Sand tiger sharks are vicious-looking because of the many dagger-like teeth protruding from their jaws.
Writes the ORB Lab in a separate Facebook post: “Their protruding spike-like teeth are perfect for spearing their favorite foods: bony fishes, small sharks, rays, squids, crabs, and lobsters.”
Sand tigers, which can measure to about 10 feet, lose an average of one tooth per day and boast 56 rows of teeth in each jaw “at any time waiting to replace lost or broken teeth.”
The sand tiger in the photo looks to have lost a couple of front teeth during its attack on the dogfish and/or its capture (and release) by scientists.
Quite a day of fishing!

12-Foot-Long Great White Shark Suddenly Attacks a Boat Filled With Tourists
Tour organizer Rainer Schimpf captured footage of a 12-foot-long great white shark attacking a boat full of German tourists off the coast of Mossel Bay in South Africa. The video, uploaded by Barcroft TV, includes footage of the shark’s sudden appearance and its ripping into the rubber side of the boat.

http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2014/06/nine-foot-great-white-shark-eaten-by-unknown-sea-creature/
Nine-Foot Great White Shark Eaten by Unknown Sea Creature
Gizmodo’s James Baker highlights Smithsonian‘s story of a tagged nine-foot (2.7m) great white shark whose electronic tag washed up on the beach. When scientists checked the data, they discovered a terrifying sequence of events: the tag had been dragged 1,900 feet (580m) below the surface, then eaten—achieving a 78°F temperature, 32°F higher than a great white shark’s normal body temperature. So this raises a reasonable question: what could possibly eat a nine-foot great white shark?
Conventional wisdom would suggest that it was an orca, obliviously gobbling up the tag while foraging for shark livers. They’re large enough—typically two to three times the size of the missing shark—and they have a well-documented history of hunting great white sharks. But the trouble with this theory is that as far as we know, orcas never go that deep; they typically stay near the surface, with the deepest recorded dive measuring 850 feet (259m) under controlled conditions. So if this was an orca, we have a new record.
Another possibility, raised by several Gizmodo commenters, is that the shark itself was attacked or killed near the surface of the water, dislodging the tag, which was then separated from the shark, dragged underwater, and eaten. The problem with this theory is that great white sharks are lamnoid sharks, which means that their body temperature tends to run slightly warmer than the surrounding water. If the tag and/or surrounding tissue had been removed from the shark before it was consumed, the tag would have presumably recorded an abrupt temperature drop prior to the temperature increase. It didn’t. Something dragged the nine-foot, still-living shark more than a third of a mile underwater, then ate the tag.
Could another great white shark have done it? Possibly, but that’s not likely; assuming the tag was lodged in muscle tissue, it would have been 7-9°F warmer than the surrounding water. Prior to the temperature shift, the tag recorded a temperature of 46°F; this would suggest a rather chilly water temperature of 37 to 39°F. The temperature range of a great white shark’s belly under these circumstances would be 13-25°F warmer than the surrounding water temperature, somewhere between 52°F and 64°F. The temperature recorded in whatever it was that ate the shark was 78°F.
