Know what is more DANGEROUS than the basking shark that the reporters failed to mention, "THE OMINOUS LAND SHARK" now that is a two foot terror, those are unpredictable, always on edge and easily sketchy on most days.

The water is so cold in Nova Scotia, I can’t believe anyone was swimming. Your toes turn blue!
