Lost Sharks don't bite???


When you are taking a dip or swim off the coast of Dubai and you spot a shark, Fear not! It's just a shark gone lost while checking out the new extended coastlines of the emirate. After all Dubai is where the world comes! You can't believe that lost sharks don't bite?

According to an article in today's Gulf News:
"An official from the Al Mamzar beach management confirmed that a shark had been spotted near the rocks at the beach but urged the public not to worry as it was not dangerous and was probably "lost"."

This probably means in the coming weeks, there could be a detailed report in the local newspapers of a shark stakeout with exclusive pictures and quotes or perhaps just a big headline in the local papers screaming - " Shark Attack"!

Now life would be so much easier, if only some one could point out - how do you differentiate between a hungry shark and a lost shark???

Not dangerous and probably lost?Was it a shark or a puppy? I think the people managing Al Mamzar park should probably be taken for an exclusive screening of the movie 'Jaws'...they might learn a thing or two...

Who says sharks are DANGEROUS?? What harm could a LOST shark, 'touring' the coasts of Dubai cause to the visitors of the beach... especially the swimmers?? The poor creature would ONLY tear open the person, and probably swallow him in one gulp!!! So you see, as the authorities claim that there is nothing to REALLY worry about, why should the general public be worried about a 'lost' shark which is NOT dangerous...!! (wait until you read the follwing as headlines in the newspapers of U.A.E.: "Swimmer(s) Swallowed Alive at the Al Mamzar Beach by a 'not-so-dangerous' shark"!!)
