Anyone living in Florida along the Atlantic coast may want
to any thoughts of swimming defer
Until at 13.8
feet long and weighing an estimated 1,653 lbs., Contender‘, until we know that
a diet of swimmers or surfers shark does nor prefer
A great white shark of Contender’s size
Is immense with an huge appetite makes going into the ocean somewhat
unwise
Fortunately scientists have planted a tag to its movements
track
If the scientists relay the tracking data one could avoid a Contender
attack
But if the data is not relied or the tag falls off Contender
disappears
Leaving the swimmer or surfer unaware where Contender will
reappear
And if near Contender in search of a meal
Would be ripped apart without time to utter a squeal
Shark attacks may be rare and smaller sharks may insure human
targets may survive
But a bite by Contender’s huge teeth will mean a very slim
chance to remain alive
With Contender swimming loose entry into the ocean seems an
act of fools
If one needs to enter the water the wise person uses a pool.
