If I had to choose between a whale and a shark I'd root for the whale.

I remember that speech Richard Dreyfuss gave in Jaws where he said that all sharks did was swim, eat and make baby sharks. I don't think they are supposed to be particularly intelligent or even aware of anything outside of that, unlike whales. ;-)
I think people are both horrified and fascinated by shark attacks because it smacks of extreme adventurism in a strange way I guess. We have a few attacks off the waters here from time to time as well as shark catches and it usually makes the TV news.

I *think* it said the tortoise was in Queensland. I keep forgetting where you are. South of Sydney? The 170 year old tortoise was very sweet. They were feeding her for her birthday and she had a cute face. :-) I think I sat on a giant tortoise or two when I was little on visits to animal farm type places. Tortoises doing the NP--lol! They can't get very twisty, now can they? :-D

That's good about the shark leaving.

det, wondering how long 3 or 4 metres is anyway (us Americans never did take to the metric system!)
