Well, at least he got a couple nifty souvenirs.

If this happened to me, I would stick to fresh water recreation for the rest of my natural life.

Only swimming pools.

I want to know that I am the largest carnivorous animal in the water.

“If this happened to me, I would stick to fresh water recreation for the rest of my natural life.”

Bull sharks, meaner than Great Whites, thrive in fresh water.
Depending on where you are in the world there are all manner of nasties just waiting to take a bite out of whatever they encounter.

One example is the Pacu. The freshwater fish common in South America typically feeds on nuts that fall into the water.
It’s nickname is “the ball cutter” because of it’s ability to snatch away a gents testicles with a single bite.

Other than your bath tub or your personal pool....it just ain’t safe.

Sharks have been found as far up the Mississippi River as St. Louis. And then there are the gators, and lately, pythons. Fresh water is no panacea.
