A "Zambezi shark" is a SA colloquial word for a bull. From what I can see it's definitely not a bull as they don't really get that big. A pregnant female would max out at about 11 feet. But obviosly she wouldn't be on the ferocious side. Guessing just by the size of their heads I'd say these two are about 14 feet+. Bulls are also very rare for SA, the water is a bit too cold for them. Also they are very soiltary sharks and an attack like this would be groundbreaking. There's more things but I digress.

I'd lke to hear what your buddy has to say though.. I'm a freakn shark geek... I know 

There is some live footage of a GWS attack on a woman swimming back to her vessel out in the deep ocean. They were college students out doing research in the deep and went for a swim. It's gruesome and will give you a major case of the heeby jeebies. The girl getting her legs chompped is not as terrifying as the blood curdling screams from the women standing next to guy filming. I don't remember where I saw it, maybe Disc Channel "Shark Week", or "Faces of Death"


Goosebumps just thinking about it!!

When in doubt, check YouTube...

(caution, unedited language)



As frightening as that video was, this one is much worse.  I may get nightmares tonight.

And what about moving this thread out of the basement of Fish Talk? It's one step above the political forum...  .

Thanks John!  Get over it, you're talking about a fish.  Just be thankful you get your "sticky" and that the thread is right at the top of Fish Talk.

Seriously, I'm I the only one that views "all unread posts" in which case which forum something is in doesn't really matter.

Enjoy your lunch!

John I am a man of my word, you pick.

We should at least invite Dan as well.

We will keep it secret though, like your launch spots
