Shark attacks

a 25 year old surfer from san francisco was killed this week by a great white shark at troncones beach, about 45 minutes northwest of of ixtapa. also a vet was killed last week in san diego by a great white. the surfer in mexico had a bite that went from his hip to his knee 15\" long. he bled to death right on the beach. the sharks are hungry on the pacific coast...be careful when going in the water.

I often wondered if there were sharks in the Bay of Banderas. Is it a rare thing for shark attacks in these waters?

I would imagine there are Sharks in every part of the ocean . Top of the food chain predators like Great Whites are very rare anywhere and would gravitate towards areas with Seal populations . Scientists usually equate a Shark attack as a case of mistaken identity - a surfer or kayaker mistaken for a Seal .

my guess is that there are blue sharks that call the mexican waters home. i know on the pacific waters on the baja the blue sharks are everywhere.

I just read your quote and I do live my life that way, doing what I have to so that I can enjoy the things I want to do. Thanks for the reminder!

To the best of my knowledge there has NEVER been a shark attack in the Bay of Banderas. There are sharks in the bay but not the man eating species. I have always heard the dolphins keep them out of the bay. You are more likely to get stung by jelly fish or and sting ray that you are see a shark in the bay.

is the dolphin thing in a controlled area? is it set up to be that nothing can get in and nothing can get out?

The jelly fish come and go so you can never predict when they will be there for sure. They move around alot so they will be in one area one day and gone the next. As of yesterday the bay was still pretty rough, muddy and stired up due to the tropical storm that just passed by.

They protect their young and old.

Who, the TS Sharks or the dolphins? ;-)

Went to Cabo last week. Their TS Bros were out in great numbers there at the airport. My training in running the gauntlet in PV paid off. I escaped.

Is this TS BS a Mexican Invention, can just imagine the chunk that goes into convenient pockets to keep it going...
