Canadian woman attacked by shark in mexico 
   A Canadian woman who was taking a vacation in Cancun, Mexico was swimming on the beach when something unbelievable happened. The woman went swimming after spending time on the beach and was bit by a shark. She was taken to the hospital, but survived and is okay now, another woman who got bit had much more severe damage. She lost her arm and leg after the shark bit her twice. The shark was going in to shore to give birth, and when it saw the people getting to close it attacked. People who saw the shark say it appeared to be 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. Mexico is not common for shark attacks, but this shark did attack.

   I think this is a rare freak accident. Cancun almost never has shark attacks, and it is rarely a 6 foot long shark. Most sharks wouldn't come past the coral reefs that surround the beaches. So it would be even harder for a big shark to get through. People are trying to figure out how a shark could have gotten to the beach and why it would ever want too. I still don't understand why the shark would go to Cancun, I can't imagine this happening again, but it just proves that you have to be careful because your not always sure what's going to happen.

  1. I completely agree with Brett on this situation, I think that the point Brett made by saying,"You have to be careful because your not always sure what's going to happen." This is a great point because people should always check their surroundings, just because there has hardly ever been shark attacks in Cancun, they should still always be aware in Oceans'. Because these animals are still living in there.
