Looking into the murky green water of Muizenburg from a very stable albeit very hollow paddle board is a harrowing experience. You don´t really know what lurks below the surface, what dark skinned denizen looks up at your sizing you up like a slow moving wounded seal. I think it is probably safer to swim in a pool, or a river.
Actually scratch the river idea. This was found 5.5km up a river. Yes, 5500m away from the sea.
The website revealing the research going on up the Breede river reports that this shark is 0.5m LONGER than the biggest ever recorded Zambezi shark. 4m of eating machine, and what is better is that after releasing her back into the water the researchers confirmed that she was pregnant.
River rafting anyone?
