  Yeah, he took a bath on those jet skis
context: Just a reminder that if you see dolphins, there are probably sharks nearby too. >
  
  Swimming in the ocean in general is just asking to have nature fuck you up >
  
  But she was in a river..
  Prob thought it was safer than in the open sea or beach. >
  
  Nah most Australians should be aware of bull sharks in rivers. >
  
  Bull sharks are pretty widespread all over the globe and here in the US, I think there have been reports of them swimming into the Mississippi from the Gulf of Mexico. >
  
  They used to make it up into the great lakes until we developed the river way.
  Now they have been spotted as far north as Ohio.
  Happy swimming. >
  
  I Need a source on this.  I will start googling as well because this is fascinating if true >
  
  Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald 2 - this time with sharks! >
  
  Sounds like a good idea for some kind of horror film. We were up in Mackinaw City, Michigan last summer and rode a boat over to Mackinac Island and drove over that huge bridge to take a side trip to the Upper Peninsula. Bull sharks mutated to be able to survive in colder waters escape from a lake-side aquarium and wreak all kinds of havoc. >
  
  looks like she hopped off to swim with a pod of dolphins (which the shark was possibly following?) when she was attacked - she was not, as the title might suggest, ripped from atop the jet ski >
  
  More info here, sounds like it. Very sad. >
  
  A bite to one of her legs with a very 'deep cut' sounds like her femoral artery was severed. >
  
  Depends, does not need to be at all.
  The artery is protected being on the inside of the thighs not the easiest place to get to unless you have a big ass mouth with sharp as shit teeth >
  
  “Big ass mouth with sharp as shit teeth” yeah totally unlike sharks >
  
  That was my point 😂 >
  
  Safe bet is Bull Shark. Brackish river, western Australia is known for them. Oh and they are mean bastards. >
  
  My first thought too. >
  
  Just to put some context here. 
  This is a very rare event, only 2 deaths by shark in the last 50 years for a city of 2 million people. >
  
  And only the second shark death in 100 years in the river itself. >
  
  And how did the shark get the jet ski in the first place? >
  
  He took a high interest loan, he’s made several bad financial decisions, and this is one more.
