You forgot to mention the
snapping handbags that reside in the northern parts of Australia. Not only do they tear you up into bite-sized chunks, the like to store bits of you under a rock in a river somewhere in case they get hungry later.
In relation to the Great Whites, here in South Australia seems to be the place where they like to congregate. I always find it interesting when a surfer gets taken by a shark and someone invariably says 'well, at least they died doing what they loved' ...what! getting eaten by a shark?
