I couldnt download the thread of the octopus eating the shark.But I recently moved back to Edmonton from Nova Scotia and I used to swim and surf there in the ocean with my kids.And the last summer they cought a 1200lb Mako shark....well that tore me out of the water prettty quick.Needless to say I was taking the kids to the pool the rest of last summer and no more ocean swimming.Its too close man.The size of this thing was unbelievable.It made me think twice.I didnt feel like loosing my kids or myself to a shark.We would always see little 3-4 ft sharks swimming by our feet but they were just baby ones and they wouldnt hurt you anyways.Buut unusual things do happen in this world dont they.
