| That may be one cause. However, another may be that their food source is being depleated due to polution and over fishing. They may be moving into shore to hunt.

August 24, 2005 Marine biologist, 23, killed by a shark off Gleneig Beach, near Adelaide, Australia. [Definitely not a good idea] Sharks shows a poor sense of discernment when they launch themselves skywards towards any *natural* food source. :( |

| From: The Times Friday June 17 2005 NEWS 27 by Simon De Bruxelles --------begin------- Sighiting of the sharks have increased by 65 percent in Scottish waters over the past four years while reports from Cornwall and the South west, where these pictures were taken last weekend, have fallen by 66 per cent [cut] These basking sharks look fearsome but the surfers and swimmers are no in danger, the sharks, probably a mother and baby, may be the largest wild animals, (the newspaper show one picture with a couple of swimmers happily close to the basking sharks) to regulary visit british waters, but they are also one of the most harmless. Scientists belive that the sharks, which can grow up to 18 m. (59ft) long, are gradually moving north as a result of global warming. [cut] ---------------end------ Questions: Are only the harmeless sharks moving north 'cause the global warming ? Are the swimmers (while in the waters) able to discern the species of sharks ? LOL P.S. English is not my first language |
