Supposed sightings of a great white shark in a lake

This was the response:


But John West, Taronga Zoo's shark expert, said: "I think it's a hoax - great white's don't go into estuarine or lake systems.

"In all my knowledge on shark biology and behaviour, that's unlikely.

"It wouldn't even fit in that lake, I don't know how deep the entrance is but you'd need several metres for a shark that big to get into it.

"A large shark like that would stick out like dog's balls."

That's totally awesome. I've never heard of a great white getting trapped in a coastal lagoon before.

"john west"? *lol* the guy must be a glutton for bad jokes becoming a fishy specialist. Anyway, he is probably right about the fact that if there was a shark at all it was probably a bull. Great whites are like the unfortunate sibling of the bull sharks. They get all the attention and the blame while, more often than not, the bulls are the ones actually causing all the mayhem

Remember; "It's the fish that John West rejects that makes John West the best." :P
