ACAPULCO, Mexico - An official says a shark has killed a Mexican surfer off the Pacific coast.
Local Civil Protection Director Jaime Vazquez Sobreira says 21-year-old Osvaldo Mata Valdovinos was attacked off Pantla beach in southern Mexico. Sobreira says the shark bit off the surfer's left hand and broke one of his legs.
Friday's attack occurred six miles from a beach where a shark killed an American surfer last month.
Environmental organizations have demanded that authorities post warning signs about sharks in the area of southern Guerrero state.
I think you should lay off the Coronas for night.
Lol :)
Me his wonder same for the thing.
Obviously a warning to John Kerry. The Clintons will stop at nothing.
Excuse me, while you kiss the sky
Global warming is making the sharks do that
Can sharks read?
Did the shark ask for hot or mild sauce?
Jesse Ventura should surf there. He could try and eat the sharks
Ummm. Excuse me while you kiss this guy...
Must have been a big shark to break a man’s leg.
Osvaldo Mata Valdovinos, 21, was attacked Friday while surfing off Pantla beach west of Acapulco, said local Civil Protection Director Jaime Vazquez Sobreira. The shark bit off his left hand and broke one of his legs, Vazquez Sobreira said.
Another young man, Jorge Duque Valle, said he witnessed the attack.
“He raised his hand and screamed, and that was when his hand and leg were bitten,” Duque Valle said. “Osvaldo went under. He was under water for a while and then he emerged bleeding.”
The water in Acapulco is too warm for a great white. I bet it was a tiger shark.
Even the sharks are pissed about the border...
That was insensitive in light of this young man’s death. I apologize to all.
Eating the Mexicans that Mexican sharks just won’t eat.
Yikes ! RIP.
It could have been a bull shark.
“He raised his hand and screamed, and that was when his hand and leg were bitten,”
Sounds like a lesson there.
Never scream at sharks. They can’t hear you but they see your mouth open, and your teeth out. They’re just fighting back.
(Save the Sharks!)
