紐西蘭4.2公尺鯊魚咬死人

民視 – 2013年2月27日 下午7:13

紐西蘭奧克蘭以西40公里處的穆里懷海灘，今天發生了鯊魚咬死人的事件，一名47歲的男子，台北時間上午9點，在距離岸邊200公尺的海上游泳時，遭到一條4.2公尺的大鯊魚攻擊，當場被咬死。

事故發生後，海灘隨即關閉，一名當時在岸邊垂釣，剛好目擊這起命案的男子表示，當時海灘上大約有20個人，他們發現這條大鯊魚時，馬上呼叫游泳的男子快逃，可是已經來不及。
而警方獲報後，也立即和救生人員一同搭船到海上，並朝著鯊魚開了好幾槍，試圖搶救遭攻擊的男子，可是為時已晚，男子已經死亡，中槍的鯊魚後來也失去了蹤影。
紐西蘭海域雖然是大白鯊經常出沒的地點，但30年代以來，只有12到14個人被鯊魚咬死，因此算是相當罕見。

請注意!鯊魚攻擊人類的事件30年來只有12~14人被咬死，但是人類攻擊鯊魚的事件卻每分每秒都在發生!

A poor guy was attack by a white shark which is larger than 3 meters at Muriwai Beach, New Zeland. So today, we'd like to share some important information to you.

(CNN) -- It's official: It was a great white shark that bit a man's legs last week just off the coast of Truro, Massachusetts.

"This conclusion was reached after examination of the injuries and testimony from (the victim)," said Reginald Zimmerman, a spokesman for the office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.

Chris Myers and his teenage son were swimming toward a sandbar about 500 yards off Ballston Beach. They wanted to body surf where the waves were breaking.

"Apparently I was the only one on Cape Cod who hadn't heard of the shark sightings," Myers told CNN's Piers Morgan on Tuesday night.

Shark survivor: Only option was to swim

Beach closed after suspected shark bite

Reports of shark sightings have gone up off the coast of Massachusetts in recent years, especially around areas where seals congregate.

Shark-bite victim: 'Only one option, which was swim'

But just after the pair decided to turn around, something bit the man's leg.

"I figured it was either an elephant ... or a polar bear ... or a shark. So pretty quickly I got to shark," Myers jokes. "It felt like I was in a very, very heavy vise."

The great white shark then surfaced between father and son, who were about 6 feet apart, arching its back as if intentionally showing itself to them, he said.

The shark slipped under the waters, and the men swam back to shore where they were helped by a doctor and a nurse who happened to be on the shoreline.

Myers was composed until he realized he had survived a great white shark attack. He had only one word to describe that moment: "euphoria."

The physical damage caused by the shark was far less than it could have been. Myers has a cast on his left leg because his tendons were severed and 47 stitches on his right leg, where the teeth of the shark left several puncture wounds.

Great white sharks range from 12 to 21 feet and weigh nearly 3 tons. They are believed to live longer than 30 years.

 

 

We think the great white shark is a killer for us; however, we the human being are the greatest killer for sharks.
