I really must look up how long the gestation period is for a great white ......Not long enough for us humans
I think they give birth in the manakau....from what i remember.
I read a pretty horrific article the other day from a few years back.......two young guys were spearfishing off the coast in Perth.WA where i am.......they were practicing for a comp coming up.......one of them dived down and as he went down he was bitten clean in half at the waist...on the drop.....Poor boy....what a way to go.....
Whenever i have dived....I have always wanted to get down and off the surface asap......the surface is not a good place to be....down there you are just another fish.
However ....you look at the correlation between great white attacks in nz to aussie........hardly any in nz...pretty rare but in WA is been going on........Nobody knows the estimated numbers in the wild in wa....they are protected too......but there are attacks by bronzies/tigers etc over here.........maybe the warmer water temps are a factor.....sharks abundant in summer here........I think nz does pretty well .........they are around enough...one was caught in a net at waiheke wdead but they released her pups ...approx 5 foot long.
Far more fish in the sea in nz........fuk all fish around perth. wa.....no wonder they fancy sushi human.
Once the idiots turn up..Im outta here...No time for Drama Queens.
