Yes but those were reef sharks, who only prey on fish, relatively harmlesss to humans. I don't remember seeing him mix it up with any Bull or Tiger sharks, the sissy :lol

There's no gurantee the GWS would have attacked, IMO, there are sharks swimmng around us a lot more often than one would imagine. If he was gonna hit the swimmers, he would have come up from below - FAST!

Dolphins have been known to do this. From what I understand, they ram the shark in his gills, causing him to drown somehow.

This could not possibly be some folks who had a boring day at the beach and decided to spice up the day with a good story... could it?

Sorry, no I am absolutely sure the story is a true example of inter-species altruisim.

I thought they rammed them on the belly causing something to rupture inside them, but not sure.
BTW, here in Iceland we eat sharks and drink sharkliver oil.

I just drool when I see Jaws....MMMMMMMM :D

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

 Leela: Dolphin?  But dolphins are intelligent.
Bender: Not this one.  He blew all his money on instant

This isn't new, ancient Roman sailors reported the same thing.

Dolphin-free tuna is about the most bland tasting thing ever. And instead of freeing Willy they should have canned him, sold the cans as collectables and donated the money to marine research.

Grun, I'm only being practical- they knew when they released Willy he probably wouldn't survive because killer whale pods are reluctant to allow strange whales to join. Marine wildlife conservation efforts would have been better served had they shipped Willy to a cannery, put a cute Willy label on the cans and sold them for five bucks a pop. I'd have bought a few to give as Christmas gifts.

And dolphin-free tuna DOES taste bland to me. So there.
