Get any good vacation snaps in Florida?
Photographer Kem McNair sure did at New Smyrna beach, taking an amazing picture of a 6-foot spinner shark leaping behind a surfer that is currently wading its way through the U.K. and Australian news outlets and into CNN's online coverage across the shark-infested pond. Debate lingers as to whether the fish was a spinner or a black tip, and while shark attacks are down this year at the notorious surf spot on central Florida's east coast, we can't help but think that sharks plus surfers is a dangerous combination with which many South Bay surfers can identify.
Caught the shark bug?
Long Beach's Aquarium of the Pacific tonight shows the original monster-from-the-deep movie "Jaws" as part of its annual Shark Week. Bring a picnic and watch your favorite predator on a massive outdoor screen at 8 p.m. At 100 Aquarium Way. You can also watch a free preview of a new episode of Discovery Channel's Shark Week and, for $10, tour the aquarium's amazing sea life displays, which include Shark Lagoon's sand tiger, sandbar, nurse and whitetip sharks.
From great white to green
Tired of sharks yet? You will be if you stayed up into the wee hours to catch the last round of the British Open, where veteran Australian golfer Greg Norman - or the Great White Shark as he's known -- leads the field by two shots going into the final 18 holes.
