Shark Attack !

Gue kayaknya sih udah pernah nulis somewhere in this blog bahwa gue sangat amat takut sekali dengan water predator
so,it means shark in the sea,and crocodile in fresh water
ini kebalikan banget dengan gue yang suka banget pergi ke pantai daripada ke gunung
gue nggak pernah berani ada di air yang kedalamannya melebihi batas bahu gue (i am short,so it means i will never go far from the beach)

tapi ketakutan gue beralasan loh!
In 2007, ISAF(International Shark Attack File) investigations tallied 71 unprovoked shark attacks on humans.
itu kan berarti dalam sebulan bisa ada 6 kali serangan
yang juga berarti dalam seminggu bisa ada lebih dari satu serangan
GIMANA COBA?

dan salah satu korbannya adalah tak lain tak bukan si host ganteng American Idol,Ryan Seacrest
ini berita lengkapnya
tambah nervous deh gue
serius nih,padahal gue cinta banget sama pantai
tapi kayaknya mulai sekarang gua nggak akan pernah lagi berenang di pantai
paranoid gue makin parah semakin bertambahnya usia

ini tips-tips untuk menghindari serangan hiu untuk anda-anda yang suka berenang di pantai,diambil dari website National Geographic :

HOW TO AVOID AN ATTACK

• Stay away from the mouths of rivers after heavy rains, when freshwater fishes and other animals are swept out to sea.

• Swim clear of fishing boats. They often trail fish remains and blood, which can draw sharks.

• If you're bleeding, including menstruating, stay on the beach. Sharks can smell and taste even the smallest amount of blood from over a mile (1.6 kilometers) away and trace it back to its source.

• If you cut or injure yourself in the water, get out! Do not stay in the water with blood around you.

• Stay out of the water if fish blood or baitfish are present. In other words, steer clear of fishers.

• Avoid large groups of fish, seals, or sea lions. They all are prominent on the shark's menu.

• Stay away if you see large groups of dolphins and seabirds. They are attracted to the same food sharks eat. And don't make the mistake of thinking that if dolphins are present, there won't be any sharks around. Dolphins can be prey for large sharks.

• Stay away from dead animals in the water.

• Stay out of the water at dawn, dusk, and night

• Do not wear high-contrast clothing (orange and yellow are said to be risky colors) or shiny jewelry (which may appear to be like fish scales). Sharks see contrast very well.

• Leave the water quickly and calmly if a shark is sighted. Do not provoke, harass, or entice a shark, even a small one.

• If fish or turtles start to behave erratically, leave the water. They may be behaving like that because there is a shark in the area.

• If you feel something brush up against you, get out of the water

• Swim, surf, or dive with other people. Sharks most often attack individuals.

• Don't wander too far from shore.(SETUJU! SETUJU!)
