Here’s a picture re-tweeted by @adamlevine on his Twitter account, a picture of a shark that found its way on a flooded street in Puerto Rico during Hurricane Irene:

My goodness, this fuels so many of my childhood nightmares. I’m fascinated yet terrified of sharks. That’s why I’m obsessed with the idea of finding sharks while diving, but at the same time it sends chills down my spine. Here’s a video this time that makes me sooo paranoid:
Here’s one of an actual shark attack caught on film:
And for me, the single scariest shark video EVER.
This all reminds me of one of a photo I posted way back, in one of my first ever posts on Strange Fruit, a photo by Thomas P. Peschak:

Sharks are the reason why I’m scared sh*t of swimming out in the ocean. Saw a shark film when I was a kid and it absolutely terrorized me. Gaaa
Some news sources are saying that the shark picture from Puerto Rico is fake. Actually, they are saying that the shark picture by Thomas P. Peschak was used in fabricating the Puerto Rico shark picture.

No wonder the silhouette is similar! I did notice the 2 sharks looked the same.
that’s the first thing I noticed too when I get to the last pic… pareho ang angle ng shark…

I kinda figured that the shark was fake. Ang taas naman nang tubig na yan for a shark to swim in. I know there are sharks that can swim in shallow water, but not that shallow.
Just read this latest news about an Aussie bodyboarded who died after a shark bit off his leg.
