He may not be extinct. WHOA LOOK AT THAT BEAST........
There have been quite a few recent attacks on humans by sharks in Australia, that boy and woman who survived. Even though incidents like so aren't very common.
They're much more common than everybody thinks:
"Shark attack is the most lied about, covered up, terrible death in the world. The are people who purposely lie to the public. The people in my opinion, have cost hundreds of human lives.
The registered “Australian Shark Attack File” shows only a small percentage of the attacks. This is shocking news, but it is true.
Very few bodies are ever found from attacks from large sharks. Michael Doherty’s remains were only recovered because he was tied to his surfboard by a leg rope. If a body is found with arms and legs missing, as long as they find water in their lungs, it’s not registered as a shark attack.
I don’t care who it is, when being attacked by a shark the victim is still going to suck in a lung full of water before dying. This is then recorded as a drowning, the shark damage doesn’t count. The cover up is out of control.
When legs of parts of bodies are found on the beach the public is told, “A body has been found,” full stop. To be filed as a shark attack someone has to be looking at exact right moment of attack. Then, and only then it can’t be hidden by the so-called “experts”. I would need hours to show what I have learnt. It never happens. In nearly every interview I have I am hit with loaded questions or set up.!".............

I'm guessing you don't do much swimming in the ocean.
I do as it happens.
The surf beach is the safest (natural) place to swim provided the water is clear. I never swim far out over the drop-off or gutter......that's where the sharks hang out. They sit on the bottom and look up. It's also where the surfers sit on their boards looking (to the shak's eyes) like a seal.
Rivers and particularly the mouths of rivers are the worst. Bull sharks literally infest rivers in warm countries. Bull sharks actually do most of the attacks blamed on Tiger sharks & great whites. They can live indefinitely in fresh water. They are in Lake Nicaragua (purely fresh and hundreds of miles inland) and as far up the Mississippi as Illinois!
Rules to avoid shark attack:
1/ Swim at surf beaches (sharks HATE breaking waves as they are frightened of being beached).
2/ Swim only at beaches where the water is clean and clear (sharks feel insecure in clear, shallow water. Also they can clearly see what we are and not mistake us for their natural prey)
3/ Swim only in 3-4 feet of water . Don't swim out to the beach's gutter or drop off.(see above. Sharks do hunt in the shallows but you're less likely to get big ones in close. They're insecure in shallow, clear water too)
4/ Avoid rivers. They are lousy with Bullsharks. They are also murky and the Bull shark has no idea that you're a human 'til AFTER he's taken several large (and deadly) bites. The mouths of rivers and their channles have Tiger sharks, too.
5/ Avoid coastal, non-surf bays that have mangroves and channles. This is prime Tiger shark territory plus Bull sharks, too.
6/Don't spear fish....EVER.
7/ Stay right away from seal, penguine and walrus colonies. Prime Great White country.
