The Seychelles Tourism Board's director Alain St Ange told the BBC the latest attack was caused by a "foreign shark" and was a "freak accident". He said: "We need to find the beast and get it out of our waters, we have requested help from South Africa and two experts are arriving in the country in the next day."If only we could act that quickly with our illegals.

Right, a “foreign shark,” not native to the ocean or anything.
Poor fellow. Der Prinz and I spend our honeymoon in Missouri to avoid incidents such as this.

Bites in the hip/groin area suggest that the femoral vessels were cut..unless you're outside an ER when that happens, bleeding out is just about inevitable..
However if it turns out that just before leaving for the honeymoon, the bride took out a huge insurance policy on her new husband, will they arrest the shark as an accomplice?

Der Prinz and I spend our honeymoon in Missouri to avoid incidents such as this. After reading Wikipedia, I think Colorado would have been safer.
Unlike most sharks, bull sharks tolerate fresh water and can travel far up rivers. They have even been known to travel as far up as Indiana in the Ohio River and Illinois in the Mississippi River,
