Jaws Jr.


Well, it looks like my nightmares have become reality. It may have been a baby but a great white shark was caught in a popular lake, stunning experts and spooking local residents... and Great White sharks are born complete with razor sharp teeth and begin feeding immediately after birth!

The 6.5 foot shark - dubbed Jaws Junior - was found dead by local fishermen in a commercial fishing net they had set to catch Bream in shallow calm waters about 1500 feet off Canton Beach, Australia (Canton Beach is a favorite vacation spot for families beacuse the lake is, uh... was the perfect place for children to swim.)

"It was small and young, but big enough to take a limb off or swallow a head whole." YIKES!

A shark expert said the juvenile great white might have followed mullet into the lake.
