A British man has died in a shark attack while on honeymoon in the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
...
A 36-year-old French tourist was killed by a shark off the same beach just over two weeks ago.
The Seychelles Tourism Board's director Alain St Ange told the BBC the latest attack was caused by a "foreign shark" and

You tossed dear Anoreth out there as chum before checking it out yourself?
But at least they're not foreign sharks.
;^)
Uhhhh, no one in his right mind swims in the Mississippi. Sheesh.
Try Alaska. Those mosquitos look like B-52s. I shouldn’t wonder but that some of them might swallow you whole.
“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”.”
Typical Tourism board BS. If the waters were infested with sharks they would say the fishing was great - come on down & bring the family.
I guess local sharks don’t bite people.
A “freak accident” is something unintentional, but the shark clearly intended to bite the man - multiple times. It could have been the same shark from the previous attack, so the shark liked human flesh & went back for more.
Better catch that sucker before he kills again.
There was a well documented bull shark caught near Cairo, IL back in the 20's or 30's. Theoretically, the current lock system on the Mississippi would now make such a thing impossible, but they're here in Louisiana they still get pretty far up the Atchafalaya basin, and are known to frequent Lake Pontchartrain.
Last year, an 8-footer made its way up the Potomac...
“foreign shark”
I guess they checked it’s passport!
Kill those things!!!
While on a Caribbean cruise, we took a day trip snorkeling with a guide approved by the ship.
Drinks were provided in plastic cups, which we enjoyed on the way out. The snorkeling was good.
On the way back in, the guide ran out of cups. He gave the mate the dirty cups, who went below. He returned shortly with a “fresh” stack of cups. Only, they were the dirty cups, & it was obvious.
These people don't give a damn about YOU. Only your money matters & they already have that before you leave the dock. They know you will be leaving port later that day, so stealing is virtually worry free. Leave your jewelry in the safe on the ship, & don't dress like money. You are advertising your good fortune to the WRONG people.
Look out for yourself at all times & don't depend on a guide to protect you or your valuables.

One need not travel further than the local convenience store for this to be true.
I think the only UDT/SEAL killed by a shark was killed by a bull in near identical circumstances; he was on vacation somewhere in the Caribbean with his girlfriend. Also, the perpetrator of the infamous turn-of-the-century New Jersey shark attacks that inspired “Jaws” may have been a bull, not a Great White. You don’t want to mess with a Great White, but the Bull has been the real man-killer.
Yes.
“I guess they checked it’s passport!
Yes.”
LMAO, that is funny,Thanks
When you have so many children ...
Yep. I heard it was wearing a black hat and suspenders.
Dreadful. RIP.
Tastes like chicken.
