Man eating chicken

Texas tourists Meredith Shindler and her 10-year-old Keaton visited the Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown, the Exploratorium, Lombard Street and Pier 39. The Blue Angels whizzed over them in the sky. And they took a tour boat to Alcatraz Island.
But the highlight of the entire four-day trip to San Francisco? A great white shark eating what appears to be a sea lion in the bay.
"Yeah, Keaton's talking mostly about the shark," Shindler told NBC Bay Area on Wednesday in a phone interview from San Antonio after returning home. She captured the shark on her iPhone6 Plus on Saturday, just after she and Keaton - and her son's fourth-grade choir - had returned from a tour of Alcatraz Island. She had been taking pictures anyway of the gorgeous scenery when the shark jumped out of the water and began devouring its prey. "It swam right under us," she said. "I was in shock. I was scared to death."

Still, she instantly switched her camera to record and started filming. Keaton's excitement at the cycle of life was evident on her video. "That's a great white!" he shouts. "Holy crud!"
He continued: "It's Jaws! It's Jaws!" he continues, belting out the theme song to the shark cult film. Then he adds: "That's the best thing I've ever seen in my life."
Shark experts said the sight was rare.
It was Keaton who advised his mother to post the video on YouTube - the second time she's done so in her life. In fact, he did it for her, and by Wednesday, the video had been viewed nearly one million times. It's now the property of a licensing company, and Shindler has fielded reporter requests from Australia, Norway and England.
As for Keaton, he wasn't scarred by the bloody event.
"He's pretty well-versed in nature," his mom said. "He knows the guy was just eating a meal."
We can still teach Texans a thing or two.
We’ve got sharks, Nick.
Yeah we call it the gulf instead of a bay....

Florida Sharks have frikkin Laser beams on their heads.
Sharks eating sea lions during earthquakes?
We do have earthquakes, but not usually in conjunction with sharks.
You got me there.
The kid knows the difference.
Well,there was that one time we fed Okies to Great Whites while jumpin on trampolines
Another victim of a gun-free zone. And absolutely zero sympathy anywhere for the horrible death that sea lion suffered. That shark needs to die. You people are neanderthal. Same ones who rubber-neck at accidents. Including that damned stupid kid who should have gotten his butt whipped good. He has food chain knowledge oh really? Kid learns from Hollyweird then tells the parent what to do and she actually listens to him. Maybe that’s how Obama got elected twice! The stupid parents listening to their fucked-in-the-head children. We as a society are lost.

I love nature.
Mother Nature’s a mean momma.
Did the Sea Lion have a name?
“You know the thing about a shark, he’s got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eye.”
“This was no boat accident.”
You’re gonna need a bigger sea lion...
