Welcome to Bermuda!I don't think anyone is going swimming anytime soon - at least not anywhere near Challenger Banks. That's where this 800 pound Tiger Shark was caught by local fishermen.
Challenger Banks is about 15 km from the nearest beach, but still... these fish can reach speeds of up to 20 km/h so there's no telling where they will end up.
By the way, did you know that they are the ultimate garbage disposal system in the ocean - they will literally eat anything that goes overboard, including (some acconts of...) chickens, cattle, horses and yes, humans.
Ok that's it. I am never going in the water again!
Unlike Japan, here in Bermuda the entire shark is used, not just the fin. The fin is used for soup, the meat for "shark hash" which is a supposed to be quite delicious and the liver is used to make local weather-predictors. Apparently if you hang the bottle of shark liver up outside, it's clear on clear days and the liquid turns all cloudy when there is bad weather coming.
I guess that explains a lot about shark behaviour - you never see a "happy" looking shark when there's a storm at sea right?
