The Victim

Whew, you survived.  You were the victim and now you want to learn more

you reflect the more you doubt your original statement.  You never saw the 
dorsal fin, was it really a shark?  Could you have been mistaken?  Learn 
more about the great white shark's habitat, senses, and diet to confirm or 
dispel your claims.  Get your gear together, and go on an adventure into 
another realm....the great white shark may be near.  Beware...

Victim's Statement from Newspaper:

Statement that made the headline,"SHARK ATTACK" appear:

Read the following account given by the victim:

"I was swimming for fun and all of a sudden, it hit me from behind.  NO, I 
did not loose any flesh, but whatever it was, it was huge!  I swam as fast 
as I could back to my surfboard and paddled quickly to shore.  No, I did not 
see his dorsal fin, but that don't mean nothing!  It was a shark I tell you, 
a GREAT WHITE SHARK that nearly ate me up!  You have to do something 'bout 
that shark a'for he eats somebody else."
