Watch Your Back If You're Going To Mexico

A lot of really big sharks have been turning up in fishing nets in the Mexican beach town of El Golfo over the past couple of weeks. Apparently, this is out of the ordinary. Local fisherman say they don't usually see this many sharks in an entire year... and these are big ones... one was 14 ft! The area's tourism director is calling this an "isolated incident." Yeah, right. Probably because he's expecting tens of thousands tourists during Easter weekend... I'm sure the sharks can't wait!

Breed More Sharks For The Ocean? Huh?

Apparently, a lot of the sharks were killed in the 60's and 70's because they were considered vicious killers. But now the grey nurse shark is referred to as the "Labrador of the sea" and is protected worldwide. Didn't they try to breed sharks in that movie Deep Blue Sea? Hmmm...

Some People Just Won't Listen . . .

So this guy nearly became fish food when he didn't listen to the shark alarms yesterday. I guess he thought it was a train or something (even though it went off four times and everyone else left the water). Lucky for him, a group of fishermen saved the day when they came by in their boat and plucked him from the water in the nick of time!

Only At An Office Party . . .

A Russian man was attacked by his pet alligator after he tried to show off in front of his friends at a boozy office party. The guy usually kept his pet gator Musya in a cage in his office (huh?) and only fed it by placing food through the bars. But after drinking with co-workers, he decided to show them how much his pet loved him and opened the cage to feed it by hand... Well... Musya showed his love by clamping its jaws right down on his hand. Coworkers had to hit the gator with chairs to get it to let go of the moron owner.
