World of the Bizarre

Killer sharks invade golf course

When playing golf at a course in Brisbane, Australia, sand traps are the least of your worries.
At the Carbrook Golf Club, players must avoid not only a significant water hazard but the dozen bull-sharks swimming around in it. The unusual aquatic residents arrived several years ago when a nearby river broke its banks and have been living there ever since.
Teeing off has never been so dangerous. Although water hazards are a challenge for any golfer, on one Australian course the lake feature definitely has some bite.

The term "Bull Shark" has only been applied to them in Australia fairly recently, they would once have been called Common, Black, or River Whalers. Must be an interesting little ecosystem in that golf course water hazard, I can only assume there are quite a few fish in there to supply the food, how it hasn't all gone out of balance is a bit of a mystery.
